For Wakanda. They've hired a writer; Mark Bailey, Black Panther is back on Feige's to-do list as a Marvel live-action film.
I couldn't find the long-running CoH thread "Why are there no black Superheroes?" - it looks like a Black Panther film (in my opinion) could fit well in the second wave of Marvel films coming after The Avengers with Black Panther, Sub-Mariner(Namor), Dr.Strange all being previously hinted at by Feige.
I think a storyline involving Wakanda's huge reserves of Vibranium would be great. We all know Marvel have been loosely following 'The Ultimates' for their continuity. Involving Wakanda and vibranium it is as follows in the comics;
Quote:In Ultimate Avengers, Vibranium is a metal used by the alien race called Chitauri. A portion of it was recovered by SHIELD after an attempted nuclear attack on Washington. From what their researchers could determine, it absorbs energy like a sponge and can take multiple hits. The only way to get through it is Vibranium. SHIELD deployed a satellite that could detect Vibranium but the Chitauri took it down once it was deployed. There was enough SHIELD possessed to create a shield from Captain America and Black Widow.
In the movie's sequel, Ultimate Avengers II, large amounts of Vibranium is found in Wakanda. Dr. Bruce Banner is able to discover that in the previous Chitauri attack, the Hulk was able to smash their ships without any effort. He learns that Vibranium turns to brittle on exposure to gamma radiation. -

Apparently according to Superherohype.com, Fox jumped the gun & Vaughn confessed he freaked out yesterday when he saw those released pictures of the mutant line-up.
Quote:Linky"I freaked out on them yesterday. I don't know where the hell that came from. I don't think it's a Fox image. It's not a pre-approved image. When I found out, I said, what the ***** is this sh*t, and Fox is running around trying to figure out what happened as well. I agree. It's like a bad photoshop, which maybe it was by someone. It didn't reflect the movie. I was shocked when I saw it. I was like 'Jesus Christ'...
Still, heres a teaser-poster and three more pictures showing its 60's inspired look. -
...or as the rest of the mutant community calls it; The "OMG !, how many mutants has Wolverine slept with ?"
(because we all know his regen protects against STDs) -
Notice Nolan says:Quote:
"I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies." -

Nice news!, surprised Nolan has gone with the Bane character for his realism-themed trilogy!
, Tom Hardy is great news, Hathaway would make a cute Catwoman, especially if they make her more the kleptomaniac cat-burglar of the rich & famous / antiquities.
Interesting news! ... which radio station?, (maybe they have some kinda web transcript?). -
Yeah, I imagine the majority of the origin story will focus on Prof.X and Magneto, but there might be a little time for odd flashbacks. They might try something emotionally pensive like in 'The Last Stand' when Beast comes within range of that Patient Zero kid and his hand reverts and he stands and considers it.

Quote:Comon, whats your avatar ID on those forums?... I know you're on them!. I've searched my feelings.. I know this to be true!.Eh, Palpatine at least had something to brag about. He conquered an entire galaxy in a lifetime. Evil or not... that is impressive. Most impressive.
His fault was much simpler: Lack of interpersonal pattern recognition. To turn Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, he exploited Anakin's fear of losing his family. As evil mastermind plans go, this is a pretty good one. It worked, too. However, if this is the plan you're going with, you probably should not have Vader in the same room as you torture his son to death with magical lightning. Especially if the kid was to cry out to his father for help. Vader might not take that very well. Turns out, he didn't.
In retrospect, the bottomless pits in the throne room probably should have been covered, but I guess it's one of the places you can save credits when building a moon-sized battle station.

Nice art!.. but what the hell is this rubbish?, Punisher symbiote? >.<

Oh George you crazy guy! (doesn't surprise me one bit re: his judgement in the prequels!). Nice story about the look on Spielberg's face!, heheh!.

Quote:Heheh, Hi Liz... you mean Hammond's sneezing and paranoid (keeps looking behind himself whilst wallcrawling) Spidey?.If this looks anyway like the old 70's movies and less epic then the movies done... it will fail. More realistic is not working in this case I am afraid :S
Classic moments incoming at 1:00, 1:51 and 2:32.
You know.. that movie had him with web-shooters too! =D -
Hi Carnifax
Yup, I can't find a confirmation, but they did eventually decide to subsidise via ads.

Quote:I always thought Pierce Brosnan eventually grew into the most pun-tastic smarmy Bond, even superseeding Roger Moore. The World is not enough was truely awful in that respect. I suppose in-time Daniel's Bond could mellow and getting into the habit of quipping the odd pun or two (which maybe I'd like to hopelessly fail for comedic effect) - but I'd hate it to revert to Moore/Brosnan levels of punnage.What you're describing is the Sean Connery version, however, we also got the Roger Moore version, which I hope never gets imitated again. Maybe it was a product of the times those movies were made in, but I always thought Moore's movies were the worst of the bunch. He always seemed to succeed by happy accident more than actual skill or cunning. I'd rather have a competent guy that actually looks and acts like he's been trained to do what he's doing.
I loved the reboot with Daniel Craig, Casino Royale was the best Bond in ages (and it'll be the only reason i'll be paying to watch 'The Green Lantern' tbh).
This new Bond film is said to be a continuation of 'Quantum of Solace' which i'm not wild about as the story was lacklustre imho. -

Exactly what it says on the tin. This is who they are and what they look like;

Quote picked up on both trailer and 2nd in comments;
Quote:"Is it black?"

...also, I think the LA weekly quote says it all. =D.
Looks fun. -
Quote:Or as Sigourney Weaver put it re: the Aliens-Predators crossovers;I'm not gonna cry about this as I was actually hoping it wouldn't happen. The Alien franchise was good for about 3 movies and then tanked (Alien Resurrection was ridiculous!). Every time they add to it, it gets worse. Now, if they wanted to clean the movies up and make them look better, that is something I am all for.Quote:
"They kinda soiled the nest". -
Quote:It doesn't matter, I don't think anybody is supposed to walk behind it. Its supposed to be in the apex of your lair (or domain) with minions and mortals coming before you on bended knee.It looks cool, but I wouldn't want it simply because all of that octopus sticks out way too far on the backside of the chair. I'd rather have something more compact and frontside so I could sit nestled among the face tentacles in a more horrifyingly practical fashion.

Quote:No, ... but you are 50% right with your guesstimation.Are we supposed to fill in the [Marvel NDA] in your message?
I will go with Stark and Cosmic Cube....
...and thanks for the film stills Father Xmas and pointing out where to look, I'll have to dig out the blu-ray to see if I can make out anymore details. -
