Great news that things are falling into place. I have never seen Mississippi Grind. Anyone have an opinion on it?
Also when a movie is in a universe, it is impossible to have full control. The directors are not going to make every single movie in the universe. I believe Marvel knows specific things they want in each movie and character. the directors get to add a bit but not go overboard trying to change anything.No director is going to get full control when you're dealing with a movie that costs 150 to 200 million. And that's fine with me I think it's unrealistic to expect these directors to have full control.
This is both surprising and not surprising if that makes sense. Either way, I approve. Half Nelson is spectacular.
Who was considered below average?
Scott Derrickson
Peyton Reed
James Gunn
Joe and Anthony Russos
I confess they've come a long way from having Kenneth Branagh and even Jon Favreau. Right now the guys they bring on board are more like, I guess your average joe director as opposed to big names or fanboy favorites.
Why do I get the feeling they were hired in case the rumored writer's strike hits?
Boden & Fleck would have to work quickly to polish the script before the 2017 WGA strike happens (a certainty unless the WGA reaches a new last-minute deal with the studios), but Captain Marvel doesn't start filming until February 2018.
"We met with lots and lots of people as we always do, and had multiple meetings, and Anna and Ryan just had an amazing way of talking about Carol Danvers and talking about her journey," Feige said. "We want filmmakers that can help us focus on and elevate the character journey so it doesn't get lost amongst the spectacle. And there's going to be a lot of spectacle in the Captain Marvel film."
Feige continued, "We're pretty good at that at Marvel Studios, and have an amazing team that can help with that. But when we're filling a director chair or chairs, we want people who are focused on the emotional journey, the humor, the surprising twists and turns of a singular character journey, which is what Captain Marvel is. They had the best handle on it. And when you look at the work that Ryan and Anna have done in the past, they are all amazing and very diverse character studies and journeys, and that impressed us."
They came in many, many times and impressed us in the room with what they had to say about Carol Danvers. [ ] They live in New York and they would fly out at a moments notice to come in and pitch on it, which always means a lot. Anna and Ryan had a strong sense of, not just the plotting and the machinations of the plot, but on Carols journey, which is the most important thing about the movie. We can help out with all the accoutrements of action and sci-fi worlds, but we wanted someone who could really be a guiding hand to Carol and to Brie [Larson] and to that journey, which is what the whole movie is about: someone becoming the most powerful being in the universe. You look at their work and like most of the directors weve hired, [theyre] not giant, effects-drive action, but rather very unique and very personal character stories and character journeys. And very diverse, in terms of the subject matter theyve chosen to tell and they nail it every time. I think they see Carol as another rich, three-dimensional character to explore, who just happens to be able to fly and punch through moons and to lead intergalactic teams.
Sounds like Feige knew exactly what he wanted and found it in these 2 directors. They have me really intrigued on what they have planned for Captain Marvel.
"..and to lead intergalactic teams"
A hint at Carol's future in the MCU? Alpha Flight or Ultimates, perhaps?
If she's anything like the Carol of the comics...she would hate that, lol.Maybe guardians of the galaxy?
