Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to star in Deadpool III (2024)

Singer can (and should) be held accountable for many things but not putting people in comic book accurate costumes back in 2000 when superhero movies were mostly a joke is not one of them.
I agree. He gave little known super heroes much needed credibility. I remember at the time that women at work were raving about how unexpectedly good the X-Men movie was. Most comic accurate movies released previously were pretty terrible. Keeping it low key and focusing on the emotional connection between the characters instead of explosions payed off big time and allowed them to start building momentum. I admit that the set pieces in the newer movies are far more slick, and X1 misses a beat in the choreography, but the better choreographed movies often seem to be so much shallower and I think it's easier for your broader audience to get bored if all you have are flashy visuals.
 
Well, "comics accurate" might be a stretch in regards to X-Men. Maybe in broad strokes.
Also very true! I think most of them were pitched very much at a family/child audience because the assumption was that nobody else would be that interested. Superman and Batman had bucked the trend briefly with broad appeal but even they quickly deteriorated into cheesy camp and lost a bit of their popularity.

MCU has done incredibly well to keep the ball bouncing but I think that more realistic costumes inspired by the comic uniforms serve better than bright primary colours of comic accurate uniforms. Thor: Love and Thunder demonstrated (in much the same way as Batman & Robin) that if you go over the top with comedy in a franchise that is supposed to be more serious, it will hurt the credibility of the franchise. Obviously, in a full on comedy, the brighter the costume the better, but more generally, most heroes would not want to make themselves an easier target by wearing yellow bullseyes over their vital organs and any comedy set into the framework of a serious universe has to tread a bit carefully.
 
Man, there are already some people on other forums who want this movie to bomb so it will lead to firings at Marvel/Disney and the end of the genre.

So, there seems to be Sabertooth in those pics, and some very odd looking vehicles (the white oval vehicle looks like it could be an old FantastiCar, if its wheels were digitally erased to make it look like its hovering).

I hope the movie just goes insane, Deadpool deserves it.
 
Wait wait wait

Is that a TVA Minuteman?

WTF is going on with this movies. It's starting to look like this is going to be insane, in the best way.
