Sam Rami to direct Dr Strange 2

[JD]

Looking at it again, a bit closer, I'm pretty sure it's Monica Rambeau in her Captain Marvel costume.

25M mutants took nearly 40 years to get to in the comics. I’m sure that the MCU version will start with the mutant population being significantly lower. And in hiding due to racism, which will be retconned (like Wakanda) as always a thing just never relevant to any onscreen adventures so far.

I see three possibilities for the introduction of mutants, the one in the quote, they're from another universe where they've been around openly for ages, or something happens that suddenly turns people into mutants. The last one seems like the least likely to me since there are so many mutant characters with histories going back decades or centuries before the comics. It's going to be kind of hard to do characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X, Destiny, Mr. Sinister, or Apocalypse if mutants are just being created when they're introduced. The Sherlock Holmes characters are public domain in the US, right? So if they do Destiny she could be Irene Adler?

It could be that they're around, they've always been around but they're in a relatively low number and have kept out of the lime light or have been seen as an urban myth. Until someone, a journalist or youtuber or tik toker say, asks Cyclops "How did you get your powers? Another attempt to recreate the Super Soldier serum?" and he replies "I'm a mutant. I was born this way."
Could be a neat rhyme with the "I am Iron Man" stinger.

Some mutants have always been around but their numbers are growing exponentially faster now because of environmental change (the nuclear age or, now, the infinity stone radiation age). That's the way it originally worked in the comics and there's absolutely no reason it wouldn't work for the MCU. Whereas inventing mutants wholesale or porting them over from a different universe would cause *massive* problems for the franchise.

Couple of unexpected cameos....

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Curious how Wanda settled onto the word "nightmare."

Back when Scott Derrickson was still attached to direct the sequel and before the whole film changed to reflect the multiverse, Derrickson said he was interested in using Nightmare as the primary villain.

At this point, the film looks to be pretty overstuffed as it is so I doubt Nightmare could really stand out as the main villain. Especially when the idea of Strange as his own enemy, both literally and figuratively, is much more enticing.

But it's still curious...

 

[JD]

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.
I'm curious how big of a role what happened in WandaVision will play in her role in this. I'm assuming if it's a big they'll hopefully give some kind of recap for people thathaven't seen the show. They must be aware that there are going to be people out there who see the movies,but haven't been watching the shows.

I couldn't follow any of it.

I'm in trailer overkill so self embargo until i actually sit in the theater in May and watch the whole damn thing

I'm thinking it's more an expansion on the main trailer we got before, rather than something coherent in and of itself.

I'm pretty close to that. I think we're about to be hit with the nonstop TV spots, which I'll be passing on.

I didn't even realize we're just a month away until this teaser so I guess it worked in way!

It sold more tickets in their first three hours on sale than 'The Batman' did in it's first twenty four. A $200m opening weekend could be in the cards.

Playing Devil's Advocate here, while "The Batman" IS a Batman movie and thus had the built-in audience it also had a lot going against it. So it not selling as much as the still-strong MCU shouldn't be some failing on the Batman's part.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I think Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is actually going to be the first movie I see in the theater post-pandemic, and I'm still not going on a crowded opening weekend.

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I saw Shang-Chi in theaters because it really seemed like everything was so far under control at that point and we'd been vaccinated a month earlier. Then everything went to shit less than two weeks later, which means it was already going to shit when I saw the movie so I went straight back to no more movies in theaters again.

I'm only going to be able to see No Way Home this Monday because that's when it finally becomes available on streaming for me.

But the numbers currently are still continuing to fall even after several weeks of no more restrictions whatsoever, so barring a sudden change in the next month, I'll be able to see MoM in theaters again. I'm glad not to have to wait longer than that, since its easily my most anticipated marvel movie since Endgame. (I'll still wait a litlle bit, because I almost never go to the movies on opening weekend anyway just because the crowds are too damn annoying.)

In what seems to be a very unfortunate recurring trend, America Chavez creator Joe Kelly is very disappointed with the renumeration offered by Marvel for using the character he created.

[The Nth Doctor]

Damn, that's really disappointing. Unsurprising, but still disappointing.

 

[StCoop]

It is shitty but at the same time anyone who's worked for Marvel or DC in the past 40 years knows the deal. That's why you save your best ideas for your creator owned work.

Of course in Kelly's case the many, many millions he's made from Ben 10 probably will keep his bills paid.

It really is irritating that these companies aren't willing to fork over at least a little more money to the creators whose characters make them billions of dollars. Now obviously they own the rights, and I'm not saying they need to hand over all of that to the creators, but you'd think they could find a bit more money in those billions to give them as recognition for what they did.
I mean $5K for a character that is probably bringing $1,000,000s and by the time Multiverse of Madness is out probably $100,000,000s is a pretty low number.
