Kevin Feige Says Post-Infinity War Will Be “Very Different”

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

With the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes conversations about the future of MCU, and from Kevin Feige’s recent interview with Collider, it seems that future may be “very different” from what we might be expecting after Avengers: Infinity War.

“We have an idea [of what the MCU looks like post-Infinity War], and it’s gonna be very, very different,” said Feige. This statement suggest many potential shifts in MCU’s focus. Next year comes the release of Infinity War, the nineteenth film installment, which also marks tenth year since Iron Man started it all. The following year comes its currently untitled sequel. So there is reason to believe a few characters could be retired after that.

But who knows for sure. Its equally possible that the studio will give way to some of the new characters, or even possible reboots. The studio has very busy slate before Infinity War even arrives. This year alone, we will see the release of Galaxy Vol.2, Spiderman: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok, followed by Black Panther on February of next year. All these movies may come into play in shaping the future of MCU.

“We’re not actively discussing anything past untitled Avengers, other than we’ve dated Spider-Man: Homecoming 2—which that would not be the title but that’s what we would call it—because that’s the agreement we made with Sony for the inclusion of Spidey in the Avengers films, and James Gunn doing a third Guardians of the Galaxy at some point. But really the whole focus of Marvel Studios is, counting Guardians 2, the next eight films that are gonna take up all of our time.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 hits theaters on May 5, 2017.

Nelly Furtado-“The Ride” Album Review

Nelly Furtado – The_Ride

With 2006’s gleaming, Timbaland-created Loose, Nelly Furtado went from hippie-ish vocalist of “I’m Like a Bird” to a startling pop star with numerous Main 10 hits. The vocalist, in any case, has been experiencing a melodic identity crisis from that point onward, she overlooked subsequent meet-ups wavering between her people history and her pop achievement. The sixth album, “The Ride”, accomplishes balance.

Taking signals from recent partner Dev Hynes, an artist who makes enthusiastic synth-pop, Furtado’s first album on her label finds a home in crunchy outside the box driven tunes that superbly fit her innovative verses. Opening track “Cold Hard Truth” is one of her finest in years, an infectious single with one of the collection’s heaviest beats. The appealing “Paris Sun” conveys a menacingly sexy synth reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” however with a milder touch.

The Ride’s essential blemish is obvious in its insignificant titles. A lot of the record, especially the ballads, falls into the lyricist’s trap of taking an arrogance and composing each and every piece of subtext out of it.

The 15:17 To Paris: The True Story Of A Terrorist, A Train, And Three American Heroes

It seems that Clint Eastwood is continuing his passion for stories about regular guys turning into heroes. According to Deadline, the iconic director is taking on the story of Roseburg native Alek Skarlatos and his friends who thwarted a terrorist train attack in France. The story is based on the book ‘The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes.’

Last year, Eastwood directed ‘Sully’, a biographical drama about US Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger, who made an emergency landing on the Hudson River and saved all 155 passengers and crew. Prior to that, he made ‘American Sniper’ about the Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.

Dorothy Blyskal adapted the book for the feature with Eastwood set to produce the film with Tim Moore, Kristina Rivera and Jessica Meier.

In August 2015, Army National Guard specialist Alek Skarlatos, and his childhood friends, U.S. Airman First Class Spencer Stone and Sacramento State University senior Anthony Sadler, subdued a heavily armed terrorist while boarded on a train bound for Paris. The three friends eventually came back home to the US and received a heroes’ welcome.

Update on Joss Whedon’s ‘Batgirl’ and casting the iconic role

We previously reported that Joss Whedon is making a jump from Marvel to DC and is “nearing a deal to write, direct and produce” a Batgirl movie as part of DC’s Extended Universe. During an interview with Variety at the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 red carpet premiere yesterday, Whedon said he doesn’t want to cast a movie star as ‘Batgirl’.

“I doubt it will be a name,” Whedon said. “I think this is something where you go and find Batgirl and then you cast her. I’m not against movie stars, they’re great, but you need somebody who’s going to be just right. And in situations like this, the name carries a lot of weight so it’s not as critical.”

Batgirl is the alter ego of Barbara Gordon. In the 1960s, she was portrayed by Yvonne Craig in the Batman TV series and then decades later by Alicia Silverstone in Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin as a variation of the character, Barbara Wilson, Alfred Pennyworth’s niece. She was also in The Lego Batman Movie as voiced by Rosario Dawson.

The Japanese gaming giant Nintendo is apparently working on a miniature Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) classic version, aimed at followers of the iconic gaming company’s nostalgia. This according to Eurogame, citing multiple sources close to the company.

If it goes as reported, SNES Classic will follow the company’s other hugely popular gaming console NES Classic Mini. So there is no doubt this will be another mega hit and will be Nintendo fans’ main focus, especially considering NES Classic was understocked and just days ago been discontinued.

Development of SNES Classic is apparently “already underway” so we might see a launch of the product this year.

‘Captain Marvel’ Finds Its Director

By Creative Media Times

There’s been speculation over who will direct Captain Marvel since Brie Larson, fresh from her Oscar best actress win, was cast last summer at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Today we finally got an answer: Variety reports that the movie will have not one but two helming the pic: co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

Before this confirmation, it was clear that Marvel was adamant about hiring a female director, as some of the contenders including Niki Caro, Lorene Scafaria and Lesli Linka Glatter were shortlisted over the past year.

But this isn’t the first time Boden and Fleck were attached to a Marvel project. In 2012, Hollywood Reporter reported that the duo was in the running to direct Guardians of the Galaxy. This job later went to James Gunn. Boden and Fleck were also responsible for Half Nelson (2006), which was career turning point for Ryan Gosling after it earned him his first academy award nomination. All in all, the project seem to be in good hands.

Captain Marvel is one of the most closely watched projects within the studio’s slate, primarily due to the character being the first female MCU superhero to headline her own film. Larson is set to play Carol Danvers, a member of the US Air Force and gained superpowers after a fusion of alien and human genes.

The movie is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 8, 2019.

Universal Pictures


Its a massive weekend for Diesel and company this weekend at the boxoffice, as ‘Fate of the Furious’ speeds ahead of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ with global opening weekend boxoffice record. Final numbers are yet to be released, but estimates this morning put the action-thriller at of $532.5 million, ahead of Awakens’ $529 million. Furious achieve the feat despite declining domestic gross, underlining the importance of global market in Hollywood, especially in China where Furious grossed $190m this weekend (China was not part of Awakens’ weekend debut).

“There is no market that hasn’t had a strong reception,” said Duncan Clark, Universal’s president of international distribution. “Whatever culture, whatever language, whatever country, we seem to have found a home.”

Furious is also the second 2017 film to cross the $100m domestic barrier, after last month’s Beauty and the Beast.

That said, Diesel announced early last year that more movies in the Fast and Furious franchise are planned for release in 2019 and 2021. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the series began with the late Paul Walker in the 2001 film ‘The Fast and the Furious’.

Here’s a tribute video showing first glimpse of the late Carrie Fisher on ‘The Last Jedi’ set. The video debuted at a Star Wars Celebration currently happening Orlando, FL until Sunday.
