Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

How old was he when he dated this girl? I dated a 19 year old for a little while when I was 32. And afterwards I dated a 46 year old
In Cavill's case, the "girl" was not underage (the implication by the "author") but an adult, and in what has to be breaking news...only to those who lived before the advent of commercial filmmaking...performers become sexually aroused in scenes.
Oh, the horror.
There is no story in this, other than to pull a very long-lived, journalistic trick of bolstering the real "story" by attaching an unrelated, alleged negative tale--an accusation of Cavill being a sexual predator/abuser, which is the intent of the questionable source.
The source has tried to employ this sort of smear/propaganda against others before, and it rarely sticks, and as we now see, the piece has been pulled, as it was so overloaded with false accusations, legal probably stepped in to remind the sites' PTB that such a hit piece was shaking on unstable, possibly libelous ground.
Yeah, it reeks of fear of a libel case
That's coming from certain folks mad that Shuri became the new BP and that the main antagonist was a Hispanic guy and wasn't portrayed as a degenerate drunk.
I wasn't too thrilled with BP2 and not because a woman became Black Panther ( that already happened in the comics) or that a Hispanic guy was chosen to be Namor, i loved that they put a different culture front and center for one of the new superheroes. It's just that the story didn't come together as well as in the first one in my opinion and it has nothing to do with gender or anything else.
If anyone’s morbidly curious it looks like the Jezebel piece on Cavill was archived.

Wow, there is really nothing there except speculation from "anonymous sources", and some of it can be traced back to what we already know. Yes, he fought for script changes and wanted the story to remain closer to the books. That has been mentioned in interviews with other cast members. The actor who plays Ciri talked about how he coached about her character more than anyone else on set. Not wanting to do nudity or kissing scenes-- I wonder what those scenes were? None of the article sounds like misogynist behaviour, but rather someone who disagreed deeply with the direction of the series. Even the anonymous witnesses deny he did anything overt, and rather just say he acts like a gamer. It is also possible for people to stereotype someone based on something like "they play video games" or "they read comic books" that biases how they see and interpret that person's behavior.
I could speculate, based on how the article is written--but I'd rather not because it is stereotyping and, frankly, insulting. In the article, they say gamers are basically addicts--and the article stops short of calling all gamers Incels.
Wait, when did Henry Cavil join the MCU in prefer to become the subject of the thread for this long??
That is the speculation part of the thread
And that’s grand but why is all the speculation talking about past roles and paparazzi gossip about past events which aren’t Marvel related? Surely in the MCU thread speculation should be about, you know, the MCU
If one were to skim through the 551 pages and over 11,000 posts in this thread, I think you will find that it's gone on far greater tangents on many occasions.
Indeed. It was a middle-school newspaper-level attempt at a hit piece and it quickly--and deservedly--backfired.
During an interview with GQ, Charlie Cox mentioned that Born Again will have more courtroom scenes than the Netflix series did:
I'm now in the process of preparing for next year when we shoot the show: I've re-reading the comics from start to finish, and I'm just starting to try to get back into shape for a role like that. I think because of the number of episodes they've committed to, there'll be a heavy influence of courtroom stuff — Matt Murdoch the lawyer in the new show. So I'm heavily focused on researching that area of this character, and his life. It was one of the areas we didn't do a huge amount exploration around before. Even my accent is probably really rusty.
I pray their depiction of courtroom procedure is not as profoundly nonsensical as that in the trial of Frank Castle in DD season 2.
The Legal Eagle on YouTube agrees with you.
He wasn't that impressed with She-Hulk's courtroom scenes either.
