IRON MAN 2 Set Visit Preview: Mr. Beaks Pays A Visit To Tony Stark's Workshop!!!
Beaks here...
All set visits are not created equal. Sometimes, you get everything: interviews with the director and cast, an all-access tour of the sets, the opportunity to watch the shooting of a crucial scene, a cameo and a filet mignon for lunch. Other times, you're left roasting under a brutal Albuquerque sun waiting on a promised ten minutes with Corbin Bernsen that turns into a contentious phoner two weeks later.
Yesterday's trip to the set of IRON MAN 2 at Marvel Studios' headquarters in Manhattan Beach was definitely more filet than Bernsen.
How much more? I'm not at liberty to say. Yet. Paramount and Marvel have asked that we hold our full set visit report until closer to Comic Con. And since I'd like to be invited to the sets of THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE AVENGERS, etc., I've decided it's worth my while to play ball.
They have, however, given us clearance to post a brief preview piece in which I whip you up into a frenzy by telling you that the sets are elaborate and ultra-sleek (they're using as many as five soundstages on the Raleigh Studios lot), the creative team is in a groove, and, as far as I can tell, everyone is extremely pleased with what they're getting thus far. This was apparent from the way Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Libatique and others tweaked and tweaked this one really cool, fairly lengthy take - in which Tony Stark [redacted] - until it was utter, fluid perfection.
Most of the stuff we saw yesterday was set in Stark's workshop, which has been modified to include some nifty new gizmos (this includes the floor, oddly enough). There were also a few tantalizing clues left strewn about just to get us worked up over what/who might or might not be appearing in the sequel. We were also given an unplanned peek at something stashed away on another soundstage - and I'm not sure they're going to let us write about this in our official write-up next month. Not that my meager words could do it justice.
Everyone was incredibly generous with their time: we got a good thirty minutes or so with Downey, and probably twice as much time with Favreau - who'd drop by video village to field our questions every time he got the chance. We also got to interrogate Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige at length regarding pretty much everything the company has in development, and I'll be reporting back on every last bit of info he offered up tomorrow (Friday) at Noon Pacific. We had a roomful of geeks, so rest assured that everything was covered (although I cut Feige some slack and didn't ask after Larry Clark's POWER PACK this time; they were being far too generous for me to be that much of a smart ass).
So I'll see you tomorrow for a big ol' Marvel Studios rundown.

Just write your fellatiating review or IM 2 now and get it over

Corbin Bernsen was in a myriad of TV shows, among them your beloved Star Trek, entertaining millions. Above all he was in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and that alone merits about 3 times your entire lifetime achievement, you condescending fuck. A straight, much employed actor like this has to take shit from a fucking loser like you? It makes me vomit (and i don't even really care about that guy). Fuck you, beaks.<p> And thanks for this very informative article by the way. So the cool news nowadays is "there will be cool news in the future" or what? Fuckhead...
-
In two years time it'll be an exciting time to be a Marvel fan. Til then I'll sit here twiddling my thumbs til Iron Man comes out next year...
-
That is the question I am most interested in. How do they plan on tackling the Avengers with the Hulk up in the air? Honestly, I'm not sure a studio would do it, but I'd like to see Weta tackle an actor in makeup filmed at creative camera angles to make him appear larger. I think the appeal of the Hulk TV show is that the Hulk looked human, and thusly it was far easier to relate to him.
-
We can't tell you what any of it is, but we're going to waste our time writing it and your time reading it!
-
what does it mean to 'fellatiate'? We just makin' up words again?
-
Look it up.
-
"Larry Clark's POWER PACK" I like it when you're in a good mood, Beaks.
-
Why can't his costume be made out of fabric and be skin-tight like Superman's or Spider-man's? Robert Downey Jnr. (swoon!) has spent a long time in the gym getting all buff and sexy and it's such a shame that his hard work is nearly always hidden by that silly suit. When I watched the first movie I had to imagine how his muscles were moving and how hot his body looked because that silly metal suit was always in the way ruining all my fun. I shouldn't have to do so much work when I'm just trying to watch a movie should I? Should I? Of course not. Come on Favs, cut us some slack. Let us see some muscles! If you've already done the whole film with the metal outfit then maybe you could just film a new scene where Tony Stark has to fight someone whilst wearing a speedo. He could be swimming and one of the bad guys could break in and they could wrestle. The scene would only need to be about twenty minutes long. We should all say that we won't go and see it unless this new scene is inserted into the film.
-
Anyone who is able to concoct a sentence featuring the words "definitely more filet than Bernsen" and have it make sense is ok with me. Also DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD, I think a Viggo style bath house fight featuring Robert Downey Jr. might do the trick.
-
It is all so interesting. I wonder how it will all unfold.
-
creative make up like hellboy. people cant relate to a completely CG character in a human world.
-
more evil mustache twirling
-
I thought the planned avengers movie was about the other avengers taming Hulk? <br><Br>I mean it was just a rumor of the story, but it makes the most sense at this point.
-
yeah kind of interesting but must be a slow news day to include this...just wait and give us the full scoop when you are allowed for pete's sake.

Prof_Monster, comic book films interfere with your chick-flicks?
by SpyGuy
No? Then kindly shut the fuck up, you self-important piece of unused spermatazoa.
-
Not sure we are supposed to be relating to him. I love Hellboy, and anything that can be done practically should be. But it works for Hellboy, because he's supposed to be human-sized. The Hulk is supposed to be massive. Not massive for a person. Incomprehensibly large by human standards. Even using camera angles to impart a sense of size, would limit the ability to show action and interaction. The character you're supposed relate to is Banner, and whether you relate to him is up to the actor. The Hulk is a force of nature, he should be otherworldly, not some buff dude in green body paint. Ferrigno was great in the 70's, but a few decades have passed since then, technology isn't the problem, it's how it's utilized.
-
Isn't the Hulk supposed to like 9 foot tall? You get a 7 foot tall actor, and you film him at angles to make him appear larger, just like they made the hobbits seem small, and Ian Mckellan seem tall.
-
lame movie, lame character, lame everything.
-
To be honest the Hulk's height changes depending on who's drawing/writing him. It's usually stated as 7 - 8 feet, but if you compare him to his environment he's usually depicted as much larger. So his height is up for debate. I suppose it's a matter of taste, I for one don't like the idea of a man in paint playing the Hulk. For one thing all the action scenes would most likely be rendered in CG anyway, so their would be a disparity between the practical and CG versions. Like I said before, I don't think a digital Hulk is the problem. It's the story he's used in.
-
Looking forward, yes indeed.
-
Well we had Cap's Shield in the first one, so if I had to hazard a guess...I'm going to say Quinjet.
-
You were kidding, right? As much as Starks muscles may thrill you, don't forget the movie is Iron Man, not Spandex Man. :-P
-
Your mom got nine squeals last night. Troll.

I've worked with actors of various reputations and achivements. Some of them are genuine, down-to-earth kind and courteous people and some are assholes. <p> I don't know which catagory Bernson is. Maybe he's a jerk, or maybe Beaks caught him on an off day. Either way, Beaks got strung along for two weeks, then got an unprofessional ear-ful. Just because someone has been on TV and in a good movie doesn't make them above being professional and courteous. Aside from the right/wrong aspect, it's also bad judgement/bad business. <p>And besides, Beaks could have been a LOT harsher in his discription of that phone call. He called it like he saw it and did it professionally. And the "more filet than Bernson" line was sweet writing. <p>Comparing your post to Beaks article, it's easy to figure out who the condescending f*ck really is - and it's not Beaks.

Iron Man is supposed to have muscles. The classic, definitive renditon of the character as drawn by John Romita Jr. and inked by Bob Layton showed an Iron Man with heavily muscled arms and legs. It was part of the armor. He was supposed to look like a super hero, not just a guy wearing a suit of armor. Also, the character in the comics was fairly light on his feet. Stark could move around easily in the armor. He would be depicted wearing it in all sorts of situations, even just standing around and interacting with his fellow Avengers. The movie has gotten all of this dead wrong. In the film he's depicted as a lumbering leviathan. Iron Man should have agility and ease of movement as well as great strength, and yes, muscles, too - like any good super hero. Once again the Hollywood guys over thought this shit, and tried` to make a realistic suit of armor (just as they tried to make a realistic Batman outfit.) This shit isn't realistic! It's fucking comics. It's exagerated. It's pseudo-science. It's make believe. All it requires is suspension of disbelief. Not to say the movie Iron Man sucks. Overall they've done a kick ass job. The film is among the best supoerhero movies ever made.
-
they did this in the second reboot of the Iron Man comic series.it lasted 12 issues... <p>now that i am thinking it,the same fate has Ellis' extremis turd for a reboot idea.its not strange that in the last stories,tony keeps using his older,less advanced armor suits than this extremis suit and powers.the marvel execs might have noticed the fault of this idea...
-
i am old school too,but lets be honest.this armor (based on the desings from ellis extremis comic) is more realistic and more suitable to a live action movie. <p>otherwise tony would be looking like a spartan wearing his body armor.and the films setting is in the near future,where its a bit hard to believe that a paper-thin armor can be used as a flying machine...
-
Glad the movie set was more filet mignon than Bernsen. This was expected, actually, since John Favreau is in charge. He's a good guy and made a fabulous first "Iron Man" movie.<p> Most superhero movies leave much to be desired, but Favreau hiring Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Libatique, and the "Children of Men" writers ensures Favreau is serious about hitting it out of the park. I like his approach.
-
It was in the first one? Where?
-
As another poster alluded, he's Iron Man, not Spandex Man. You know what iron is, right? It's hard and heavy and not soft, which pretty much shreds your argument that it should be.<p> Not that you will, but you should rethink your assumptions.
-
thats why the Hulk tvseries was so successful.unfortunately,the creators of the 2 hulk movies, tried to use the modern action comic-movie recipe,which doesnt work so well with the Hulk character.Hulk isnt a superhero,he isnt someone who gains superpowers and tries to save the world.he is,as u well stated,a force of nature,an uncontrolled rage which can destroy everything and everyone,regardless if he is good or bad.
-
So, reading the previews from here, comingsoon, latinoreview, etc... there are clues to surprise cameos, who the Avengers villain might be, and also an empty bay in Stark's Iron Man suit collection. Stark knows about the Hulk... it only makes sense that he's gearing up to track Hulk down in the Avengers movie... and building his Hulk Buster armor to do it! Awesome. I'm calling it, right here and now. Hulk as the Avengers villain.
-
why not?
-
Possibly... Though, at least in the comics, Thor Buster had magical origins, which I think makes it harder to shoehorn into the Iron Man movies. Hulk Buster is just Stark's intelligence and steel against Hulk's strength and rage. And seeing how they worked Iron Man into Hulk's movie already, I would expect payoff on that first. Also, Hulk has, comics-wise, been an Avengers enemy quite more often than Thor ever was. Still wondering how they'll make Thor and Stark really click in the same movie...
-
Totally forgot the suit in the movie is the Ellis extremis armor. Have to say, it has grown on me. The flying sequences in the movie were outta sight. Maybe it really is an improvement on the 1979 Iron Man. I just hope they show Stark walking around in it with a bit more fluidity. That'd be a great improvement.
-
happen sooner or later.and he will be definitely in the future Avengers movie.so magic will be part of Iron Mans universe.Unless they use the idea from the Ultimates 2,where Ultimate Thor at first,was supposed to be a mortal who gained his powers by wearing an prototype technological armor.
-
Yeah, ominus, it's all very possible... it's just an Occam's razor kind of thing. We already know Stark is interested in finding Hulk, but Hulk doesn't appear to play a big part in Iron Man 2, so... it looks to me like the payoff will be in the Avengers movie... though it would be pretty kickass for IM2 to start off right in the middle of an Iron Man vs. Hulk battle, with him bringing Hulk in to SHIELD(maybe on the possible Helicarrier set they were building?) and then off to the main plot. I honestly think Thor - or at least his mythical origins - will be played down in The Avengers movie -- yes, much like Ultimates, which seems to be what the movies are roughly following. But again, Hulk Buster or Thor Buster, I can't wait to see Iron Man tear it up with someone superhuman. Not that I'm dissing Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski or anything, hahah.

Beaks expected an interview from Bernsen and I expected cool news from Beaks. Now who's the Bernsen?

He's an untalented fuck-fest of a Director & Actor.

I'm guessing that the 'thing' stashed away in another studio is.
by Negator76
a model for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier? Please make it so!
-
Needs to seriously shut up and fuck off. Iron Man was one of THE best comic-book films ever made,and thats coming from a non-Iron Man non-RDJ fanboy. Other than the anti-social nerds on here, everyone I've heard from everywhere loves the hell out of the first Iron Man and the second one is going to make crazy money...count on it!
-
Iron Man wasn't the greatest movie of all time by far, but... It's definitely a leap in the right direction -- especially compared to all of Rothman's comic book abortions. Plus, I think Favreau is a lot more comfortable with this scale of movie now, and I really get the feeling this next one is gonna get insanely huge, and quick. Sure, it will never be quite as deep as Batman or Watchmen or what have you, but... in this case, breadth is just as good, heh. And with Cap, Thor, Hulk, Fury, Avengers and so on firmly in their toy box now... this is about to blow wide open.
-
I believe that like the Ultimates, Hulk/Banner will be tracked down for most of the film, and while the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are focusing on the Hulk hunt, the Red Skull and HYDRA (S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enemy) will recruit their own "team" to wreak havoc. The Avengers will probably capture Hulk/Banner, but will be forced to release him and use him as a weapon to defeat the real villain(s) of the piece (they will let him go due to his help.) The reason I think it will be the Red Skull as the primary villain is because the Avengers will probably focus on Captain America due to his "thawing" out in the modern world and his adjusting to it. Since he is the primary focus, I feel Red Skull will be the primary villain.
-
p.s. I think Sam Worthington would be the perfect Steve Rogers/Captain America, and Ralph Fiennes as the Red Skull.
-
latinoreview's El Guapo (who was on the set) is hinting that the Avengers villain is not from Earth. Skrull is the first thought...
-
Nice smackdown sir!
-
...about how you can't write this piece. --hope you don't take that the wrong way, cause I AM actually looking forward to when you CAN write about the visit. I think it's extremely cool that you get those opportunities. --but not nice to tease us like that. This article may have well included a photo of a closed door ;)
-
Yeah, normally this would piss me off too, but all of the sites - latinoreview, superherohype and chud, that I know of - have done the exact same thing. I'm assuming that, if the entire internets have gone to this much trouble to get our attention, it must be something huge(possibly, oh, I don't know... SHIELD Helicarrier huge???)... and either they have to sit on it until the SDCC and just can't stand keeping it a secret, or... we'll find out tomorrow at noon, PST.
-
...was in somehow making Gwyneth Paltrow totally spank-worthy.
-
"WAAAHHHH! NO ONE CALLED AT E3 TO LET ME COME!"
-
Loved the film, thought it was fun, but the music sucked...sounded more like an expensive TV series than a blockbuster film. My vote goes to Brian Tyler, John Powell or Don Davis...
-
Pardon me, I don't understand the phrase "Tony Stark (redacted)"in the article. Redacted, in the dictionary means "to reduce to form" or "to draw a proclamation".
-
means it was something that could not be said. when they have those army or cia documents with the lines blacked out that are not to be revealed, those are redacted.
-
Laws of average... the fist was good by chance
-
His meaning was pretty clear, but if he actually wrote it and then replaced whatever he wrote, he probably meant RETRACTED. And if it was in the first draft, he shouldn't have included it at all.
-
Dude, next time you place a bet at the OTB, please let me know which horse so I can bet on a different one and win loads of cash.
-
The same people saying that are likely the same people saying Dark Knight wasn't going to break 100 million.<br><br>Remember those morons? Talk about being far off.

I dont have a problem with a preview of a set report, it served it's purpose and got me very excited to learn some details on my most anticipated movie of 2010, so WHERE IS IT?!

You sunovabitch! Feed us the deets, bro! Who the fuck needs to go to the THOR set anyways? All that mead and hammers strewn about. Dude, just go to your local Renaissance fair, same fucking experience! <p> Great report nonetheless.

Or just future Marvel projects? Either way, I'm on standby to buy LUKE CAGE on HSX. Hurry, Beaks! HURRY!

Or not ;)

You just cut-and-pasted that post from JustJared, didn't you? Cheeky! And more than that, fanboys are taking you seriously. My God...

Skyscraper heels and sexy business suits ftw.

if you didn't like "iron man" then go away... this site has no use for you... terrific film... yes, it's flawed here and there but my god, what a treat overall... if you don't like "Star Trek" and IM then please, go somewhere else..
-
NOW we should be pissed. Noon PST my sunburned Scottish arse!
-
Nothing was posted on CHUD or latinoreview either, and they all promised Noon O'Clock Marvel rundowns. Methinks Marvel is up to something...
-
and i really dont count "dark knight" in, cus this movie is in his own league way above all other comic movies! saying ironman will bomb really does not make any sense. when the first iron man came out it was a fifty fifty chance it could blow, cus nobody knew much about how the movie was. after it came out last year a lot of people liked it and it had good reviews and a lot of mouth to mouth happend and suddenly a comic movie, that could have make a 50-100 mil. made over 580 mil worldwide...because it was simply good and way more entertaining as everybody expected it would be. in my own top five of superhero comic movies its in. i really think everybody else thinks the same way...its one of the best superhero comic movies we have...so far! so everybody is exited for part 2!
-
No one seems to have put it up. Is there a problem?
-
They had a bit of info. Nothing groundbreaking, but I'm jazzed :)
-
that is Hollywood right now. <br><br>Iron Man was by no means a well known franchise outside of comic book fans. The fact it did so well speaks towards the great team (director, writer, actors) that the studio put together.<br><br>The script actually <i>matters<i>; maybe, eventually, the idiots in Hollywood will learn that...if you are so worried about a big summer tentpole that you water down the script and 'stupify' it for the masses, maybe you simply don't spend 200 million on a giant turd (I'm looking at you T:$) <br><br>Reduce the budget to 120 million, and take a bit more risk by making a <i>movie<i> and not some 'splosion filled craptacular. <br><br>T:$ failed miserably, but TF2 might still do okay, meaning Hollywood will just continue to churn out crap while the Sheople continue to pay their money <br><br> The Irony is the people here bitching about T:$; no shit it sucked; MOST critics said the same thing, and yet YOU slapped down your cash on OPENING weekend, which is what all studios what in order to gain some momentum...its you people that enable Hollywood to continue its reboot/remake/rehash mania...<br><br>Congratulations suckers <br><br>

It is just typical Bay. And he does mindless action better than anyone. If you want to see true crap, look at GI Joe and whatever Sommers is putting out.
-
It is now Saturday 8.00 p.m. Eastern time and your full report should have been on this site yesterday. What's the point of telling us you were going to post a full report then never get back to us. Sorry dude, you suck big balls.
-
Don't credit Marvel Studios with anything. They're the same people that rushed out the earlier garbage. And although Arad has his own thing now, he and Marvel are this generation's Dino De Laurentiis. Use the scattershot approach and you're bound to luck out some of the time. Raimi and Favreau. That's pretty much it. Aside from the Norrington one-off that started their ball rolling in the first place.

During an interview yesterday on the set of Iron Man 2, Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige explained what lies ahead for the rapidly expanding universes of Marvel movies, providing information on everything from Captain America to Ant-Man to The Avengers. Perhaps the biggest revelation was that, despite the lackluster performance of last year's The Incredible Hulk, the character will indeed be returning for The Avengers. Considering the Hulk is a major player in almost every big Avengers story, from their sixties origins to Ultimates, his involvement had long been suspected, but this marks the first official confirmation. Feige also said another standalone Hulk movie is a possibility, but it would need to be more clearly linked with the other film franchises than the last one. Indeed, with so many of their preceding projects in the newly dubbed Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) underway, Feige is now ready to begin serious work on The Avengers. He explained why the Hulk is returning and what progress has already been made on the movie: It will have been four years since he was in a movie by that point. By 2012. I'd like to see him in it. I'm not being coy. We're just starting the story. I was on the phone with Zak Penn this morning. He's coming in next week and he's going to work on the outline this summer. It's so intertwined with what we're doing before it. I almost wanted to get done with production on Iron Man 2, and the scripts to Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America well underway, before we even started The Avengers. Moving further afield, Feige confirmed that director Edgar Wright's Ant-Man project is still in the works. As would be expected from the co-writer and director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Feige emphasized the comedic aspects Wright looks to bring to the movie: "I want to make Ant-Man one of these days. I think that'll be surprising and funny. I love Edgar Wright. What he likes about it is that when he says he's doing Ant-Man, people go, 'Ant-Man? What the hell is that?' I think that's funny." It would appear absolutely no part of the Marvel Universe is off-limits for the films. In particular, Feige is hopeful Thor will open the door to the more mystical parts of Marvel: "I think Doctor Strange would kick ass. I think we've done very well at this street level superhero aspect of the Marvel Universe. I think with Thor, you'll see us cracking into the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe in a very good way that's never been done before in our movies. I'd love to get into that supernatural element. I think that Doctor Strange could be a good lynchpin into that universe with 'Werewolf By Night'. Maybe with Blade again someday. I would like to see that side of the Marvel Universe on screen." And he confirmed that the Thunder God's alter ego, Donald Blake, won't be appearing in Thor. As for The First Avenger: Captain America, Feige focused on the casting rumors. He noted that there are very few actors that are both American and well known enough internationally to pull in foreign box office. At the same time, he noted the success of hiring a brilliant but previously non-blockbuster actor, like Robert Downey Jr., or having the freedom to choose an unknown from Australia, like Thor's Chris Hemsworth. It would however appear that Will Smith is not in the running to play Captain America. Acknowledging the "Truth" storyline, which posited the existence of a black Captain America before Steve Rogers, Feige explained why they wanted to stick with the more iconic version of the character: "I love the 'Truth' storyline. I think that's very cool. I wouldn't do that as a first Captain America movie though. I think that arc came about four or five hundred issues into the "Cap" run. I don't see us launching with that particular comic." Finally, Feige touched upon what sort of movie The Avengers will be: "I think The Avengers is going to have it's own vibe. It'll have a different tone than the other Marvel movies. It is about saving the world, because there's no other reason for characters that powerful to band together. I think the scope and the scale will feel like a much bigger thing." And he said that Marvel aims to ramp up to putting out four movies a year, drawing on the company's diverse cast of characters. Iron Man 2 is due out May 7, 2010, while Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America are on track for May 20 and July 22 of 2011. The Avengers, which may or may not be the greatest thing in the history of cinema (not that I'm getting my hopes up or anything), is currently scheduled for May 4, 2012.

MY ASS!!! where is it? I don't see it ;p

Iron Man was the most gay-friendly film I've ever seen. I bet you homos can't wait for Thor to show up in his little shorts.

Wasn't the followup for this supposed to have been posted like 3 days ago?
-
Gee, Marvel movies really are for morons.
-
I so hope so.. boy on boy action is so HOT! NOT! So Beaks saw cool stuff but can't tell us about it? Then why prematurely write about visiting the set if you can't talk about it? You premature educator!
-
Caught dead hanging naked in his closet.
-
possibly. My understanding is that the other studio/distributor wielded more power than Marvel for the earlier movies and that Iron Man and the Hulk were the two movies that were 'truly' controlled by Marvel Studios. <br><br> the other properties were optioned when Marvel was in serious financial difficulties, so their A list properties (Spidey, FF, X-Men) weren't under their full control. The B-list (Hulk (after its initial failure), Iron Man, Thor) is what they have left. <br><br> I guess we'll see - maybe they'll blow it, maybe not...
-
Let's be honest: Iron Man was a surprise hit. A surprisingly good movie. None of us expected it. We can probably say we like Spider-Man, we like the X-Men, but Iron Man? He's on our radar but how many of us actually read the comic? The movie went mainstream, broke walls and got the cookie cutter dullards like Regis Philbins and White-Republican-Blonde-Soccer-Mom-Bitch-Fox-News-Viewer to watch the movie. That's why there's going to be another sequel so quickly. Let's give The cast and crew breathing room but let's not expect the world. It'll be a good movie, I hope, but don't even turn this into another Spider-Man fiasco.

WTF dude? You promised us!

Can't believe I just wasted part of my lunch to find out you are going to be reporting something in the future. I should of gone to nukethefridge from some real info

Ultron...why wouldnt they have a small cameo of Pym building it in IM2? I hope its not skrulls...I mean for sequels yes but jeez start with the classics

Apparently one of the web guys that went on the site visit prematurely talked about something they shouldn't have. For some reason all set visit reports are now on hold. At least I think that's what hapened.

That must be the Hulkbuster armor.

I needed a dose of some Marvel news.

You do know thats an imposter right?

-Mr. Beaks son.

That only occurred to me later on. At the time I just thought you were being incredibly lateral and fucking around! Then I saw the zero. Praise Bale!

Where's the fooking Marvel Update? At least come into this talkback and explain the delay or apologise for just wasting our time. It's been FIVE FOOKING DAYS AND STILL NO REPORT!
-
Per Marvel's request. Nothing I can do about it. We were all set to go on Friday morning, but then some BS that I'm not at liberty to discuss went down. Please note, however, that Marvel and Paramount are not to blame here.<br><br>It'd be nice to get the greenlight soon, but I'm pretty doubtful at this point.

Do tell Beaks...do tell :)
