'X-Men' director Bryan Singer accused of sexually abusing 17-year-old boy in 1999

This might hurt the next film.

There is no way they say it if they aren't going to do it. In th eAvengers they showed Thanos. Thanos will be the bad guy in Guardians and will be the one in Avengers 3. They are looking to keep expanding. Wasn't Panther one of the characters that is going to Netflix?

 

I love how the Winter Soldier has not been nailed down to a final outcome yet. Also I expect Widow to be in a stand alone film after Age of Ultron.

The opening, which has already been revealed, indeed takes place in Africa, where our heroes take on the forces of Baron Von Strucker and his "Miracle" twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Curious to see how you'd battle someone like Scarlet Witch, who basically controls probability. This may be tied into Ultron, who is officially made of Vibranium in the film. Vibranium, of course, is made in Wakanda in the heart of Africa, suggesting that the Black Panther could make an appearance. Given that these reports suggest Don Cheadle's Iron Patriot only cameos (and Anthony Mackie's Falcon might as well), and with what we know about Nick Fury, we could use a little bit of diversity.

‘Captain America 3’ Rumors Claim The Villain Is William Burnside
Captain America 3 rumors are claiming the villain might be William Burnside, which essentially means the sequel would have Cap fighting a paranoid version of himself. If you do not want to know who that is, I suggest you stop reading now because if this rumor is true, then it’s quite the major spoiler.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, the Captain America 3 release date may not square off against Batman vs. Superman at the box office, after all. According to reports, Disney is rethinking the release date for the superhero’s next adventure. But other reports claim Disney won’t back down. So, unless either side blinks, we are probably going to have a weekend when we all go see both Captain America and Superman and Batman duke it out with the latest set of baddies put in their path.

Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote the script for The Winter Soldier, and during an interview, they discussed the decisions they had to make when integrating an old comic book story into the new lore. When it comes to the Captain America 3 villain, they admit that they did not want to see the Red Skull back “so soon,” although the only thing they’ll confirm is that he did not die in the first film. They’ve also read the script for Avengers 2, so they know what will be happening in the future of the overall story.

In the end, both are asked about how the story threads will lead to Captain America 3, and Markus admits that the villain, or at least one of them, may be a known comic book character:

“We’ve definitely set out on a more realistic road in the Cap movies, you know. Even more grounded than in the other MCU movies. And so it kind of rules out Cap fighting the Dinosaur Man or something like that. There are some that aren’t gonna start and other ones that — I mean there’s a couple we’re playing with right now that we really want to take elements from. Which we’ll not reveal…. All I’m saying is psychotic 1950s Cap.”

Screen Rant was nice enough to summarize who that might be: William Burnside is “a super-fan who took up the mantle while the real Steve Rogers was cooling off in the North Atlantic. Due to improper use of the Super Soldier Serum, both Burnside and his sidekick Jack Monroe (who took on the role of Bucky Barnes) eventually went insane with paranoia and had to be knocked out and placed into cryogenic stasis. Assuming he’s revived, that means we’ll have some Cap on Cap action.

The interesting part about these Captain America 3 rumors is that in the original comic books the Red Skull does make a comeback. So, while it’s doubtful that the new movie will play out the same way, we may at least know who the cast might include.

Would you like to see William Burnside and the Red Skull as the villains in Captain America 3?

They are blocking your link. Hope this one works. I am in love. I think this will do quite well. It won't beat CA2 or X-Men but I think it beats Spidey.

[GrubberRaven]

Odd, it's coming through for me...oh wait...you have to view it on youtube

Coming through for me too.

 

But, I have so little interest in seeing Galaxy.

Hugh Jackman Wants Wolverine to Join ‘Avengers’

Could another superhero be joining the already super-sized Avengers team? Maybe if Hugh Jackman had a say in it.

The “X-Men: Days of Future Past” star told IGN that he would love to see a crossover between “X-Men” and “The Avengers.” Jackman said his dream superhero movie would involve Wolverine appearing in a future “Avengers” pic.

“I would love to see him as part of ‘The Avengers,’” Jackman told IGN. “Because there’s a great dysfunction among that team, and I think Wolverine would fit right into that. He’d like that.”

What’s more? The clawed mutant wants to battle a certain angry green giant.

“There’s no doubt he’d get in a fight with Hulk at some point,” he said. “Those two bad, rage-filled characters are going to square off at some point. It would be quite fun. I don’t know how much fun to shoot it would be, because I’m sure I’d be on the worst end of it, but hey, he can heal.”

Jackman said the same thing last year after “The Avengers” hit theaters so hopefully his proposition doesn’t fall on deaf ears this time around. “Avengers vs. X-Men” would make for an epic bigscreen adaptation.

Unfortunately it will never happen.

FWIW, in some of the Avengers comics, Wolverine is in fact part of the Avengers team.

[deeshopper]

Too bad the Marvel properties are split up. Fox and Sony aren't giving up what they've got. Hell, Marvel can't even use the term 'adamantium'.

[papasmurfbell]

I was reading a while back that they can share enemies. Since the X-Men, Avengers and FF have fought many of the same aliens they can all use them.

[GrubberRaven]

Not true papa...Fantastic Four has the Krull, which is Whedon used the alien race he did (name escapes me right now)

 

Also referring to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as Miracles instead of mutatnts...

[papasmurfbell]

If I am remembering I think the Kree are allowed be used by both. It has been months since I read the article. The studios had a sit down to see who owned what and what they have to share.

[papasmurfbell]

I saw X-men last night. It is the best of the whole franchise. There are plenty of funny parts. The CG is so very good. It sets up so many story lines and also allows for fixing some past mistakes. The Age of Apocalypse snippet looked really cool.

[GrubberRaven]

That movie was great Papa!

How Quicksilver's Standout Scene in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Was a Late Addition

X-Men: Days of Future Past was engineered to combine two familiar casts into one movie: the key cast from the first trilogy (Wolverine, the older Professor X and Magneto), and the 1960s crew of First Class (Jennifer Lawrence’s young Mystique, and the more youthful X and Magneto). Ironically, the character that people are buzzing loudest about upon leaving the theater is a new X-face: the superspeedy Quicksilver, played by Evan Peters. In a standout, two-minute scene that has audiences giddily erupting in applause, the young mutant recruit impishly foils some soldiers’ attempts to capture Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Michael Fassbender’s Magneto by flicking away their bullets and making them punch each other — all to the smooth vocal stylings of Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle.”

The crowd-pleasing scene was actually a late addition to the film. Early versions of the script (when First Class director Matthew Vaughn was attached) didn’t even include Quicksilver; it was the mutant Juggernaut who helped break Magneto out of Pentagon lockdown, mostly by busting through walls. The Quicksilver-for-Juggernaut swap was one of the first notes Vaughn’s replacement, X-Men vet Bryan Singer, delivered to screenwriter Simon Kinberg. “He felt like we had sort of exhausted, visually, Juggernaut’s powers in [X-Men: The Last Stand], and so he wanted a new character, a new kind of visual power, that we could explore,” Kinberg explains.

But even once Quicksilver was integrated, the kitchen scene was designed “way, way late in the game,” says editor John Ottman, who’s cut every one of director Bryan Singer’s features save for the first X-Men. It was slowly laid out through the previsualization process (or “previs” for short, which means creating animated storyboards), and all of the slow-motion scenes were filmed on the last two days of the entire shoot.

The scene was essentially created by committee: Singer conceived the initial idea for it, Kinberg painted broad strokes of how it would play out in revised versions of the script, and then the larger group (including the visual effects supervisor, special effects coordinator, second unit director, stunt coordinator, and director of photography) melded minds while working with the previs artist. “That sequence is such a complex sequence from both a cinematographic and just a physical stunt perspective, that everybody had to be super coordinated in the way that we planned it and put it together,” Kinberg explains, adding that while it wasn’t always certain that Quicksilver’s mischief would play out in the kitchen, Singer had a clear vision early on how he wanted to execute the speed demon’s powers by high-speed photography.

The sequence may have been complex, but it was still surprisingly practical, with very little actual visual effects. Kinberg points to the moment Quicksilver touches the security guard’s cheek, and we see his skin move in ripple effect. “That’s just super, super high speed photography where the actual motion is just slowed down.” (Though Kinberg does admit that the soup that Quicksilver dips his finger in for a taste was CGI food.)

When Quicksilver ran up the side of a wall, Ottman said Peters’ stunt double had to “run sideways for as long as he can, and then drop,” and the runner could usually only go a couple of seconds. His speed was then decelerated in the editing process, giving the impression that he was actually sideways for a good ten-second stretch. “These are just pieced together very quick moments extended to be much longer,” Ottman explained.

As for the Jim Croce tune that seems so perfectly suited — that was also an unplanned choice. “That Croce song was thrown in by the previs artist [as a placeholder],” Ottman said. “And we immediately thought it was brilliant and we always completely associated it with the slo-mo section.”

The raved-about scene is a boon for the X-Men franchise and all of Marvel. Because not only have they added a new fan favorite to the X-Men franchise, but Quicksilver will also turn up in Disney’s 2015 summer tentpole Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since the Disney Marvel movies take place in a different mythological universe (and have different Hollywood contracts), the Mutant will be played in Ultron by Kick-Assalum Aaron Taylor-Johnson. (The different universe also means that they don’t have to explain why Quicksilver is roughly the same age even though Ultron takes place about 40 years after DOFP, and why he has a twin sister in the Disney world.) “There was definitely pressure to knock it out of the park with the character,” Ottman said. “Because we knew that this character was going to be introduced in another Marvel movie and we had to sort of preemptively outdo whatever they were planning on doing.”

The current fan frenzy surrounding Quicksilver marks an 180-degree turn is also vindication, considering the fan upheavalthat followed the first glimpses of the character: Twitter was overrun by complaints that he looked like a corny, ’90s rave kid. “I was with them,” Ottman admitted. “I don’t think we were certain in our minds that he would fly with people once they got to see him.” Kinberg thought it was unfair that he was being prejudged from a picture, given that “So much of the character is in Evan’s personality and attitude and the way we construct the character, and also the visual effects, none of which can be rendered in a still image snapped on set.” Ottman however, conceded that his reaction when the first dallies came back featuring Quicksilver in costume was, “‘Dude, this wig looks awful.’ But it just grew on everybody and the character sort of makes your forget about it and makes it actually kind of funny.”

The slo-mo kitchen scene is so visually and aesthetically cool that a gaping plot hole has been (mostly) ignored by fans: How, in 1973, did Quicksilver possess that Croce-playing Walkman in the first place, given that technology didn’t emerge until the ’80s (and how does the music keep speed with him)? “Technically it’s not a Walkman,” Ottman explained. “There’s a whole backstory that’s never shown in the movie nor did we shoot it but he supposedly had stolen this thing that was a prototype of Walkman technology from some lab somewhere… So it was supposed to be some original prototype that he happens to have.”

Ottman laughs. “But how would anyone know that?”
