Captain America: Brave New World

[Parliament 13997]

I swear there's a thread but Surly search sucks, so here we are...

Looks good.  Definitely leaning in on the Winter Soldier vibe.  I can also see why they had to do all those reshoots.  Kinda hits close to home with our politics today.

[South Austin 51564]

I need a break from all the multiverse/timeline/acid trip MCU. This looks good.

[mdmost 42316]

Looks interesting. I'll take as much Harrison Ford as I can get. A grounded on Earth, non-multiverse movie is welcomed.

They finally address the giant Celestial that is protruding out of one of our oceans.

Ok that looks pretty fire

Giancarlo Esposito is in danger of supplanting the great Don Cheadle as my favorite living actor

February, huh? Not usually a good sign.

In the past yes, but the Black Panther movie did fine, and they maybe leaning into Black History month a bit, although it’s more likely because this Thanksgiving/Christmas is insanely crowded with an MCU movie already on the schedule, and two, count them two, Disney tent pole movies (a Lion King prequel and Moana sequel).  Disney ain’t going to fuck around with things.

November

• Red One - Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans
• Back in Action - Cameron Diaz, Glenn Close, Jamie Foxx
• Here - Tom Hanks, Robert Zemeckis, Robin Wright
• Gladiator II
• Wicked
• Spellbound - Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem
• Moana 2

December

• Nightbitch - Amy Adams
• The Return - Ralph Fiennes in an Odysseus film
• Kraven the Hunter (MCU)
• The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
• Mufasa: The Lion King
• Spnic the Hedgehog 3

Deadpool came out in February 2016. Thunderbolts is the May 2025 MCU release with FF slated for July 2025.

That is a horrible slate of movies.  Pure crap.

Gladiator II, Wicked, Moana II, Lord of the Rings, Mufasa and Nightbitch will all do very well.

[Scary Stranger 1711]

Remakes and pre/sequels.... and nightbitch which I know nothing about.

[mdmost 42316]

Well, original ideas don't tend to make money any longer so it's remakes, prequels, and sequels for the foreseeable future since the audience rarely supports original ideas. 

[Scary Stranger 1711]

Hence ongoing horrible slates of movies.

[Buzzrock 14779]

“No. I’m not.” really isn’t a great line.

It might actually be more interesting looking if it wasn’t a MCU movie (isn’t Sam just a normal guy?) but I agree it looks better than expected.

Barbie and Oppenheimer were numbers 1 and 3 at the box office last year (amidst some crap) so it can be done.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2719]

Do I need to watch the series to be current with this?

[mdmost 42316]

Yes. It's not a bad series. It has a lot of good elements but the villain isn't great. Covid caused a storyline to be cut out.

Amy Adams acting more and more like a dog.

Looks like she turns into a husky.

If you can. It introduces at least 2 characters who are very prominent in the movie. 

[mdmost 42316]

Interesting stuff from SDCC:

Giancarlo Esposito is playing Sidewinder, the King of Serpent Society. The Celestial is made of adamantium. Ross turns into Red Hulk while giving a speech in front of the White House. I feel that's the Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) making him change.

[CurlyDumps 4413]

Digging the 70s paranoia  political thriller tone. Actually looks kinda cool despite being Marvel.
