yes indeed I think Thor looks awesome......pretty confident this will deliver.I also think utilising the traditional winter fantasy slot of Nov/Dec will yield some good dividends for MS.

liking the look of Winter Soldier too.

I just wish Marvel would stop being so tight with budgets unless you're called Iron Man.

I'd much prefer a 2.5 hour Thor film than 2 & how can you complain (Other than over money / budget as always) when a director is willing to go the extra mile & get the story out there the way he sees fit.

I think Marvel should see it from Taylor's view here & go with the extra half hour if he thinks & feels it's necessary to the story.

Even if the budgets were set ages ago, it's not like they 'can't' stretch out a bit more if need be, it's not like they're not gonna earn it back in the end anyways, besides, they have an endless cash flow anyways if needed, it's called Disney & they've already showed they're willing to foot the bills for things if Marvel want them to. Too much playing hard ball with cast or directors with cash isn't always necessarily a good thing to try & prove a point as it can come back to bite in the future or long run.

There's being smart with money & then plain greed / stupidity. I don't see however much is needed for Taylor for an extra half hour of film would break Marvel's current big bank balance & Taylor is a man who knows what he's doing when it comes to directing, enough so that if it were me, I'd fully trust in giving him the extra cash required, same goes for Whedon & Gunn, guys I'd easily have no problem handing money straight over too.

Directors like the Russo's are obviously gonna have to earn some trust like that, but from the looks of all the photos so far & they end up proving themselves with CATWS, they could potentially earn trust for a bigger budget or extra cash on a future Marvel film if CATWS turns out as great as it looks.


I hope they give GOTG a decent to great budget because that is gonna need a hefty cash flow to look as 'out there' as it's gonna need to look & that means some top dollar!

Yeah, suppose there is that in it like. Well, depending on what the extra half hour would be, if it was extra effects heavy, then maybes they could discuss it internally to see if it is worth forking out the extra cash or not & for the outside companies to go a little over their original schedule, but if the extra half hour Taylor wants doesn't involve much more effects or blue / green screen, then it may be slightly easier for them to possibly justify the extra loot & for the outside companies to come to some agreement. After all, if ya don't ask, ya don't get.

LMFAO!!!

so the dude from Kick Ass is gonna be Quicksilver in Avengers II.and Singer is using Quicksilver in XM:DOFP too....different actor.

I really wish Whedon would reconsider using these 2.without being able to use their backstories I see no point whatsoever in using them.

any amount of heroes Whedon can use without this combination.

I'm sure Whedon will come up with a way of introducing them. Who knows, he might not even give them a detailed back story. They could just be heroes existing in the current world.

I 100% agree with you all the way.

The only thing I'm clinging on to is that Whedon wouldn't be using them if he didn't have a major plan in store.

that's very true they could go the Ultimates route.....I had forgotten that.

I wonder why Marvel aren't pushing on with a Black Panther movie?IMO its one of the best stories they could be telling....Id love to see him involved with the onscreen MU.
