This ain't gonna happen, schedule-wise. Plus, Mendes hasn't even completely written it off yet. He's just put off by the aggressive schedule.

I'm hesitant to call this a "confirmation" of those characters in the movie, but I am at the same time all for it. This would probably be the closest thing we will get to the X-Men crossing into the MCU.

As for casting, I would love to see Joss reunite with his old comrades and cast James Marsters and Christina Hendricks in these roles.

Why would you need half an hour of dialogue to explain that he's adopted? You would literally need one scene of him with his white family, or a throwaway line about him being adopted, and that would be enough. Are people really that ass-backwards culturally that adoption is a shocking thing? My dad's family has 2/3 adopted children (one who is a POC), and there was never any suggestion that they were less than part of the family.

Bring it. So far no real black heroes in the MCU (except Rhodey). It's about time one gets the spotlight. Black Panther is a great character, like Thor but more down to earth and with more politics and less hubris.

I'm telling you, keep Daredevil as a smaller character who can be introduced in Agents of SHIELD as a recognizable name who could be their man on the streets. Dr. Strange is the perfect next step in the film world, a way to introduce the magic/occult element after the tech and cosmic aspects of the marvel universe. That would be a way to eventually bring Ghost Rider back in without it seeming out of left field. And, Planet Hulk? Let it go. Avengers proved Hulk works best as an ensemble character rather than a starring role.

@bawnian-dexeus Like, I think they tried to do it with Percy Jackson too, and definitely with His Dark Materials, but both of those had a really muted response so they never became the franchises onscreen they were intended as.

@bawnian-dexeus I was just referring to it more as the next big thing, like how Twilight was referred to as the "next" Harry Potter and Hunger Games was the "next" Twilight.

Seems like a pretty legit reason for him to turn down Star Wars. I still would have loved to have seen his version, though. Bird was my top choice.

I'm as big a del Toro fanboy as anybody, but I don't understand why people think this looks good.

Haven't read this series, but I've seen it around. Trying to make the next Hunger Games series?

Looks great! Definitely feels like Marvel production values and looks like it will tonally fit within the established universe.

The question is, is this a younger Logan from 1973 (like the one we saw briefly in First Class) or is this Logan from the future gone back in time?

@themoviefanatic Yeah, even when a lot of CGI is involved, there is still someone composing how the shot will look. Hell, animated movies should be considered for cinematography awards, IMO. Something like Ratatouille is brilliantly "shot."

But, case in point, Claudio Miranda won a cinematography Oscar for Life of Pi, which was mostly a kid on a boat surrounded by green screen. What ends up on the screen is more important than how it got there. In some ways, it might be more of a challenge for a cinematographer who is working with a lot of effects, because they have to imagine the final shot that they can't really see.

Can't wait!

Whoah. Fichtner is awesome. Suddenly I'm kinda interested in this movie.

F*ck Chris Brown.

Personally I think Amber Heard could be good in this role. I love Emily Blunt, but she doesn't scream Carol Danvers to me.

Haha...I love Singer's "#Serpico" tag.

@themoviefanatic Why not? Emmanuel Lubezki has been nominated five times before (twice working with Cuaron). Maybe this is finally his win.
