Superhero Cinematic Civil War - Part 58

[Detective Conan]

Word is that Corey Stoll(who previously played Yellowjacket) is apparently playing M.O.D.O.K in Ant-Man 3.

Months ago, Evangeline Lilly did put Corey Stoll in a hashtag on her Instagram post announcing she got the script to Ant-Man 3, which lead many to assume she was teasing his return as Yellowjacket but if this rumor is true, it seems it was actually for a different role.

Deborah Ann Woll would be a welcomed addition to the MCU.

Hope they bring my girl back too:

If not as Elektra, let Elodie Yung try her hand (no pun intended) at MCU Psylocke.

I can’t get over the fact she was almost Wonder Woman.

I can’t get over the fact she was almost Wonder Woman.

Really? I had no clue.

Not sure I like that idea. I thought Stoll was severely underused in Ant-Man but at the same time I don't want Darren Cross to become MODOK.

Yessir.

New Actresses Test for ‘Batman vs. Superman’…as Wonder Woman? (EXCLUSIVE)

Not sure I like that idea. I thought Stoll was severely underused in Ant-Man but at the same time I don't want Darren Cross to become MODOK.

It sorta makes sense from a narrative standpoint to have the #2 baddie be a guy to whom we've already been introduced. Cross can already be all Modoky when Kang fishes him out of the Quantum realm. And with all the legacies the MCU is feeding us we can expect Cross to bequeath his flying chair to Tarleton in a future show on Disney Plus.

 

[Ninjablade]

Cross was basically a cartoon character, so him being MODOK isn't a huge jump, I guess. I don't know, I'm not really a fan of the character being used in live action anyway. He seems too ridiculous.

I guess a positive would be I hope that means AIM is back and we get to see the Beekeeper suits. That'd be a perfect fit for an Ant-Man movie.

One benefit to having Cross be MODOK is we avoid having another Peyton Reed origin story. No momentum destroying mini-movie like we got with Ghost!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Peyton Reed worked on completing an Edgar Wright story for the first Ant-Man, but I honestly think he did more in making that movie than we might believe. I don't know if Edgar Wright had any intention of making his movie a pseudo-sequel to Tower Heist, I have my doubts he had that in mind.

I think I can compare Peyton Reed to Jon Favreau when it comes to their MCU direction bouncing from a cohesive movie 1 to jumbled movie 2, except that Iron Man 2 works for me much better than Ant-Man and the Wasp did.

 

[Detective Conan]

It’s really sad that in my lifetime I will never get to see Tom Holland’s Spider-Man share the same screen with Tobey and Andrew’s Spider-Man just like it’s really sad that this movie won’t end up being the highest grossing film of the year domestically and internationally.

I suppose it makes sense. I'd just rather Tarleton be MODOK in the MCU, or at least the original one.

We passed the ridiculous threshold in the MCU a long time ago.

MODOK will fit right in.

Morris: the sensational character find of 2021!

I mean I wouldn't put any of those in the same kind of category of ridiculous as I would MODOK, especially visually which is more what I'm getting at than anything else.

If they can make it work, cool.

Love this.

I meant that if audiences have largely accepted all the ridiculous stuff we've seen in the MCU over the years, I doubt that MODOK will be crossing a line.

 

[Erzengel]

There are workarounds.

I love me some Giacchino but I'm kind of bummed Mark Mothersbaugh isn't coming back. I really liked his Ragnarok score.

 

[Kev4000]

No Way Home, The Batman, Jurussic World and now Love And Thunder. Decent run for just 8 months.

 

[Ninjablade]

Interesting. Taika must've really liked working with him on Jojo Rabbit. Shame Mothersbaugh isn't coming back, I liked his score for Ragnarok, but Giacchino is my favorite in the business right now, so can't complain too much.

Guess he's aiming Elfman's record of scoring the most CBMs

 

[Detective Conan]

Wonder Woman game:

 

[kguillou]

Had zero idea a Wonder Woman game was even in development. Looks heavily movie inspired.

 

[Iceman]

I don’t think there were rumours about it till this reveal. Really glad she’s getting a game and hope it’s as good as the Arkham/Spider-Man games.
