What, you didn't like "Werewolf by Night"?
Not nearly as banged up as Walker's shield looks like in those trailers!
Walker's got folded into a Pringles Potato Chip shape.
Keep pointy objects away from him!He could use this one!

Noted - a question I posed back in November '23:
And one answer that got:
But not in the first MCU movie starring an African-American character, apparently.
Maybe in, uh, Black Panther 3? Whenever that comes out?

More likely in the first production starring an African American hero who is actually significantly involved with Wakanda, ie, Ironheart.
Joe and Anthony Russo previewed to Deadline the forthcoming Marvel movies 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars', due in 2026 and 2027, respectively.“It’s all in London, we’re shooting them fairly back-to-back, it’s a lot of work again, we may or may not survive, we’ll see,” Joe Russo told Deadline’s social media manager Natalie Sitek on the red carpet. “But we’re very excited about it. We found a way into the story that we think is gonna be challenging for audiences, it’s challenging for us to execute. And it’s really exciting for us, it gets us out of bed to do it”

This is the best way to do the Punisher. I really thought the second season of his series should have had an entirely new story and supporting cast.
Sam is probably feeling pretty good. They gave him some really cool wings.Noted - a question I posed back in November '23:

- Well done:
A rare cross-post but I figured I would share what I just posted in the DC thread.
James Gunn isn't a fan of post-credits scenes:
James Gunn isn't a fan of post-credits scenes:
“[Post-credits scenes] can be a real nightmare,” he said. “Like writing Guardians 3 and I wasn’t really sure if Adam Warlock should be in it. But I fucking promised people. You know what I mean? And I’m like, ‘Oh, well, now I’m writing the script and things change.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m kind of cramming him in there.’ And I like him in the movie. I like the character. But it made it a little less elegant in some ways, the film. And so I’m really careful about those sorts of promises that we don’t know that we can deliver.” Gunn specifically emphasized the “don’t know.”
Agreed--Green Arrow had a far longer period of character development in the comics, with some runs being among the most well-known in the medium's history.
That, and it could've been the average, non-comic aware public did not care about the series, so there was no natural association with a character they did not know.
Using The Dark Knight or Man of Steel as titles had nothing to do with the ever-unsubstantiated "embarrassment" claim about filmmakers making superhero movies. Both titles are deeply intrinsic to the published and adapted histories of the characters, being almost as well known their main I.D.'s. Creative productions do not need to hit anyone over the head to let them know what character they're adapting, and the two in question were successful in bringing the characters to life.

The Reeve movies were not some generational heirloom. They were here, then faded into the cultural background like most films.
Batman has been a stronger cultural fixture in 20th century media than Superman, with its hallmarks--whether one includes the Burton movies, various animated series, or the 1966-68 TV series (and the brief but strong period of "Batmania" it spawned, and would be somewhat replicated in the wake of the '89 film). On the other hand, Superman of the previous century had endured shakier adaptations more often than not, which may help to explain why there's no overwhelming attention paid to the older adaptations in this century (which is not countered by the copy+paste nature of YouTube reaction videos).

Fascinating.
Stark!Doom- “Look it's me I'm here deal with it"
Really makes me think RDJ is Victor von Doom and that's what they think will be hard for audiences to grasp. That they're concerned people will be challenged by the concept of variants when it's not just "this was from a marvel movie outside the MCU" kind of multiverse experience.
I guess not everyone has seen the streaming shows but the whole multiverse thing has been going on for some years now.
How "challenging" can it be to understand the idea of an actor being cast in a new role? It happens all the time. How many Star Trek characters did Majel Barrett or Jeffrey Combs or Vaughn Armstrong or Kenneth Mitchell play?
And I still say there's no reason to assume RDJ's face will be visible at any point, if they portray Doom authentically. His Doom doesn't have to be a variant, just another role played by a chameleonic character actor.
Yer man has blocked me but the idea that little or moderately-known character actors, frequently disguised under a ton of latex, making recurring appearances on syndicated tv shows, is in any way comparable to one of the world’s most popular and iconic actors returning to the box-office juggernaut franchise that he helped launch and which reinvented his career, never ceases to make me roll my eyes. And I say so as someone who watched RDJ play multiple roles in The Sympathiser.
