Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors, etc

Better look at the Mark 46 and Black Panther.

I've seen this pose on EW before. Somewhere.

Meow? More like RAWR

I didn't even notice the stupid "meow" at first. I was too busy wondering why T'Challa is wearing his mask when Steve and Tony aren't wearing theirs.

Does EW make all its super hero covers look terrible on purpose?
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

I wasn't, it was a good trailer that seemed to encapsulate perfectly what the movie will be about. I especially liked Tony's entrance, his "I was your friend too!" line and his fight against Tag Team Cap and Bucky.
I guess it felt like the typical comic book storyline of "heroes pitted against each other" with all the Greek tragedy undertones to accompany it.

I guess it was tough for me because I like Captain America but I don't feel like he's in the right, at least from that brief clip. That might change, but it left a really sour taste in my mouth.

And that's the beauty of that storyline. It provides us a way to discuss the issue, present our arguments (in a hopefully civil manner) and maybe broaden our horizon.

While Marvel is usually flashy entertainment that doesn't go very deep into social issues this storyline tended to do that because in extension it touched on current real world issues and this is why it was such a controversially discussed storyline (can't remember other Marvel events having such a "public" discussion when it was released, they're usually confined to even more specialized message boards than TBBS).

What they do with it in the movie is anyone's guess but i think we'll get a very good movie out of it that moves and changes the MCU once again (it seems the Avengers and Cap movies are the go to movies to advance the MCU storyline).

Eh, I'll grant that it promotes discussion. As the film unfolds I am sure that more will come to light, and might win me over.

The trailer didn't intrigue me-it made me mad, so up for grabs on its effectiveness. I'm not inclined to see the film (first time I've said that about a Captain American movie-always a first, right?).


Interesting that Thor is not on that list. :lol:
But I guess no one want's to make a god sign something to operate. ;)
He is not in the movie I guess, but he is an Avenger and should be on there.
Thor might not be asked to do so, since he might be considered a representative of a foreign power, and they don't want to confuse the issue.

Maybe? :confused:

The optimist in me wants to believe it's just because Steve and Tony are established characters and nobody knows who Black Panther is. We haven't seen his face in any trailers yet, either. They might be keeping T'Challa's appearance under wraps for now.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

I think that's the case too, especially for the mainstream audience who might not even remember Wakanda although it's been mentioned already in the movies.

All they would ask themselves is who this black dude was standing between Cap and Iron Man and some might even confuse him with either Anthony Mackie or Don Cheadle.

The only thing i'm asking myself is why would he warrant being in the picture of the two lead actors.. might be to have some preemptive marketing for the character for when his solo movie is released or he has a bigger role than expected.

That's definitely what it is. No average movie goer has a clue who Black Panther is... or the actor. Cap and Iron Man are known to all.

Because without the mask he's just a bloke in a black jump-suit. The mask is sort of the character's main distinguishing feature. Also: mystique. (No, not that one!) ;)
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

The above points are the only true reasons why we don't see the actor's face. Chris and RDJ are the selling points. We know what their suits look like, it's the actor's faces on the covers that sell.

Black Panther... we haven't his suit yet. And you can quickly google the actor's name if you wanna see what he looks like. But to be the first magazine to have a high quality shot of Marvel's new superhero.... that's money!! So yeah, obviously they're gonna show the suit, not the actor.

International trailer.

Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

New footage? Seemed to me it was just simply less footage
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

so, I saw a pretty big spoiler today on a Lego site of all places

I'm going to post the picture in spoiler tags, and I would encourage people to use spoiler tags if you discuss it, but if this is going to show up in a toy that will be on the shelves 2 months before the movie hits, it's logical to assume that this will be in the marketing too, either the next trailer or some commercials. So it may not be a spoiler for long.

Of course we've seen Lego movie tie-in sets (and movie toys in general) that have little or nothing to do with the actual movie, but this has the feel of an actual spoiler to me.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

There has been rumors going around that Giant-Man would appear so it's not too surprising, but it is surprising to see this as the first official notice of his appearance.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

I believe the spoiler he's referring to is
Iron Skull U Boat which suggests the Red Skull is returning.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

Oh, I didn't even notice that. *shrug*

Not sure if that's really a spoiler and more of just a cash cow. One is a returning a character, the other is a new character (sort of).
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

The Iron Skull U-Boat has nothing to do with Civil War. It's just a random toy set. No connection to the movie. Same with the space battle set with Thanos and Hyperion and Captain Marvel.

Suffice it to say, the surprise was in the Airport Battle set, which is clearly a major scene in the movie.
Giant Man

I can't imagine Marvel intended for that reveal to leak out this way.

That said, I'm fairly certain that they don't even have a final cut of the movie yet, so some scenes or characters may change with the actual released movie 5 months from now.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

I seem to remember Red Skull merchandise in connection with the first Avengers movie, which led to similar speculations.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

I saw the trailer before The Force Awakens and it lokks pretty good, it all seems to center around Bucky. And I really feeling sorry for Tony there at the end with Cap and Bucky teaming up to fight Iron Man.
 
Re: Captain America: Civil War - pre-release discussion, news, rumors,

Yeah the trailer on the big screen was awesome, in particular those last shots of the big fight. Absolutely buzzing for this
