Thor panel coverage is here! Portman signed for more Thor films, but no Avengers, Punisher returning to Marvel and more!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here to finish up the coverage of the Marvel panel. Sorry I didn’t post this last night, but I was, without any exaggeration, falling asleep at the keyboard typing up the Captain American panel. This Con has been a rough, stressful one and boy was I worn out last night.
I’m kind of afraid to go back and read what I wrote. I’m sure none of it made any sense. And the below will probably be more of the same, but now I don’t have the excuse of extreme exhaustion! Damn it!
Kenneth Branagh was introduced and answered a couple questions before bringing out the cast.
- Branagh said he read English comics, but knew very little about American comics. However, he always loved Thor… loved the name, loved the treatment in the comics, loved him as a character of brute strength and the epic scope of the stories.
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, the beautiful Kat Dennings and the ungodly vision on Earth Natalie Portman.
- How did Hemsworth approach wielding the Hammer. He said he looked at the comics to see how Thor postured and how he used the weapon, then took that and figured out how to make it work on screen. “(The Hammer) is the same as the costume. It’s a huge part of the character.” And apparently pretty damn heavy.
- Portman wants to play Jane Foster as a real, frazzled down to earth and grounded woman, not a hot scientist with glasses and cleavage. (That wouldn’t be too bad, either in my humble opinion).
- Dennings’ character Darcy is a new creation. She’s Jane Foster’s helper… “side-kick, little sister-y protégée who doesn’t know how to do anything,” says Dennings.
- Hiddleston on Loki: “He is both the agent of chaos and also the damaged, jealous younger brother… the one who was overlooked, that could have been ‘the guy’, but is not… because I don’t have the guns this guy has!”
- Clark Gregg was dubbed the glue of the Marvel Universe by moderator Geoff Boucher. “I love being the glue!” responded Gregg.
- In Iron Man 2, before one of the takes they told Clark Gregg “say ‘I have to go to New Mexico.’” He didn’t know what that meant until weeks later when he brought it up with Feige. “What is in New Mexico?” “Thor. They didn’t tell you?”
- When asked about Donald Blake there was just a smile on Branagh’s face and said “There are touches of Donald Blake in the movie.”
- Portman happy to be “in a family again” with Hugo Weaving.
- Natalie not in The Avengers, but signed for more THOR films.
- “You win! You win! You’re the best questioner ever.” – Natalie Portman to the immortal Bob Stencil when he asked her, a Harvard graduate, about Jungian layers to the film… and does he swing a big ass hammer good?
- Someone demanded Feige comment on Edward Norton? “He’s not here today.” Then quoted Norton’s letter, saying Hulk is bigger than any one person to some rumblings from the audience.
- Branagh said that Thor is very similar to his Shakespeare work, especially in the dysfunctional family dynamic.
- “How heavy was that hammer because it seems like you’ve been lifting it quite a bit…” from a female audience member, which received an honest to God blush from Hemsworth. “It did get easier to lift through the film…”
- Hemsworth was given books by Branagh to prepare for the role. They included Norse mythology, comics, family dynamics books. Thor world was completely new Hemsworth.
- A guy in a Punisher shirt asked Feige if there was any hope for Marvel’s R-rated properties, pointing to his shirt. “Frank Castle is under the roof of Marvel Studios now and we hope to bring him into the fray shortly.”
Then footage. Here’s what we saw.
Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson opens the film circling a man sitting in a chair in what looks like an interrogation room. “One way or another we find out what we want to know. We’re good at that. It’s not easy to do what you did. My men are the most highly trained in the world and you made them look like mall cops.”
We see shots of Hemsworth rumbling with the SHIELD agents. This is all Earth stuff with Thor fighting without a suit or hammer.
“Why don’t you tell me where you received that training. Afghanistan? You strike me more as a soldier of fortune type. Who are you?”
And that’s when we see Hemsworth’s face for the first time, giving Coulson a big fuck you stare.
From here on the footage moves to Asgard. Sweeping shots of golden streets as Anthony Hopkins’ Odin speaks over the footage.
“I have sacrificed much to achieve peace. You have opened these innocent realms to the horror and devastation of war. You are a vain and cruel boy.”
Hopkins really shouts down Hemsworth, who dishes it back at the old man. “And you are an old fool!” Hopkins responds with quiet sadness. “I was a fool… to think you were ready. In the name of my father and his father before… I cast you out!”
That last bit was played over the scene in the Great Hall, Thor on his knees in front of Odin, his winged helm is removed and then we see a flash and a deep rumble of thunder and Hemsworth is laying in a desert.
Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings are leaning over him as he wakes up. He looks around upon waking and says, “Oh, no… this is Earth, isn’t it?” Portman and Dennings trade a look.
Hemsworth changes shirts in a later scene and Dennings sneaks a peek and says to Portman: “You know for a crazy homeless person he’s pretty cut.”
Next shot had Hemsworth trying to explain where he came from to Portman. “Your ancestors called it magic, yet you call it science. I can prove they are one and the same. The answers you seek will be yours once I claim what’s mine.”
Mjolnir is in embedded in the ground, surrounded by tarps and caution tape. A muddy Hemsworth approaches as Hopkins voice over says “Whoever wields this hammer, be he worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.”
Hemsworth wraps his fingers around the handle and tries to pull with all his might, fails, screams to the heavens in frustration.
Then we leave Earth and return to Asgard as Odin lays dead (presumably) and Loki takes power as the successor to the throne. This, apparently, isn’t good news for the people of earth as they run around in a panic. More Odin voice over as Thor watches the devastation: “His fate is in his own hands now.”
Coulson and his SHIELD agents are in the desert as something crashes into the dust. The metal Destroyer stands and approaches the agents. “You are using unregistered weapons technology. Identify yourself.” One of the agents asks Coulson: “Is that one of Stark’s?” Coulson responds, “I don’t know. He never tells me anything.”
The Destroyer’s helmet opens and a bright beam of light boils there before shooting out and… well, destroying things.
There are lots of glimpses of the fully costumed Thor in battle, very quickly cut in the sizzle reel, but really badass swinging the hammer, deflecting blows with it against a stormy background.
Gotta say, I really dug the hell out of the footage. The scope is just as epic as I was hoping it’d be and Branagh seems to have found the right balance of fantasy and real world. Of course, the final product is yet to be seen, but the footage was pretty ass-kicking.
There’s that stuff! Can’t wait to see more from the man with the hammer!

BRINGING UP NORTON AT THOR PANEL? VERY CLASSY, DORKS
by bringingsexyback
-
good to hear, my inner comic dork cant wait for a decent thor flick and avengers
-
Branagh really doesn't have a great Hollywood track record, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I actually see something.
-
This looks like it's going to be a great Marvel movie. One of the few.
I finally saw Punisher Warzone last night and was thoroughly entertained. Now that was a fun action movie. Blood by the buckets, a great bad guy, Ray Stevens was excellent in the title role, and best of all, you get to see Wayne Knight get shot in the head. I hope Marvel brings back Stevens as Punisher for another go. -
Give them back The Punisher, you assholes.

by bringingsexyback
doth stirreth both mine loins, and mine gluteous.
-
And Dustin Diamond has replaced Mark Ruffles as The Incredible Sulk.
-
Here's hoping something gets released for the rest of us to see pretty soon.
-
cock explosion.
-
Branagh loved the treatment of Thor in the comics. Bullshit. Branagh loved the epic scope of the stories. Hogwash. Tell the truth dude, you never picked up a Thor comic in your life before this came 'round. God these guys try to patronize us.
-
killer. Wheres the crapilly shot cell phone bootleg damnit??!
-
It sounds like it might be good, if Branagh can restrain his grandiosity and keep it down to earth. I'll watch it either way of course, it has Portman and Dennings in it!
-
if they can pull off "Thor" i think they're in business, but this very could well be the beginning of the end of marvel reign. P.S. i'll miss Ed Norton.
-
Faster than Thor can swing his mighty mighty hammer.
-
Not one for negativity in the TB, but I've got some mental block against the idea of Branagh pulling this off. Happy to be wrong. We will see.
-
yes warzone was a little campy but theres no reason to reboot the franchise again and stevenson is the punisher and deserves another chance, fuck why not have him just show up in avengers as a treat to the audience. Also where the hell is the smalville coverage..clark dons the suit in season 10, thats bigger news then anything marvel has to offer!
-
I'm glad he got booed. Fucker!!Where's a good picture of Kat Dennings and her rack Quint?
-
Which is totally great news. That aspect of the movie is what had me troubled from the jump. But it sounds like their just losing the character all together and Thor when he falls to Earth will be Thor
-
Let me guess. You're still using a film camera and need to save film, right?

BRINGING UP NORTON AT THOR PANEL? VERY CLASSY, DORKS
by fat_rancor_keeper
"BRINGING UP NORTON AT THOR PANEL? VERY CLASSY, DORKS"
Yeah....because fans with an opinion should just stfu and take whatever is dished out to them straight up the ass - like you apparently do. -
Depends on who's doing the dishing.
-
So they looked at the comics and only used a few names then?
Why didn't Thor call Earth Midgard? (because he would and if you think people are thick enough to be talked down to then it doesn't bode well, after all couldn't Portman simply reply 'Midgard, what's that?' or some such?). I don't want 'touches of Donald Blake', he's not a fucking perfume. Give me the comic on film. The treatment there sounded like ass. -
if it's simply a matter of Norton not firing up your loins than what's the point of discussing the matter.
-
Ya'll should be happy you got Rufallo because I promise you it could've been worse. It coulda been Shia LaBeouf. Now, Banner is like the James Bond of Marvel Characters
-
since he was the best.
-
Mark ruffles will only be playing the hulk, producers figured it would be cheaper just to paint mark green rather then do cgi, Mark has said he's comitted to getting really fat for the role and infact he's already eating a many cheesburgers to bluk up for the role
-
Anybody?
-
What a joke he is, sat there with his hat and his ego. Are people really saying things like 'I fucking hope Feige will be at Comic-Con!' or '... But the highlight for me was when Feige walked onto the stage!' or 'Dude, get a picture of me with Kevin Feige!' or 'Feige was electric... He had the room in the palm of his hand throughout!' or 'Vintage Feige!' or 'Feige is just the kind of showman that makes Comic-Con memorable' or 'Holy shit! I think I just saw Kevin Feige!' or 'We love you Kevin Feige!' or '@kevinfeige u were da bomb at #sdcc!' or 'Kevin Feige is a good guy' or 'when I grow up I want to be just like Kevin Feige' or 'Kevin Feige does right by the fans' or 'Marvel would be lost without Kevin Feige' or 'Kevin Feige is doing an ok job' or 'Kevin Feige is respected in the industry' or 'Kevin Feige is a worthwhile human being' or 'Kevin Feige is sort of interesting I suppose' or 'Some people sort of like Kevin Feige' or 'Kevin Feige is ok I guess'? No, of course they aren't. Nobody on earth has ever said anything like this. So fuck off Kevin Feige, and take your hat and your ego with you. You won't be missed.
-
As for Portman: she's looking extra good this year.
-
The better Thor is, the better WB will have to make Superman. Please work, please work, please work...
-
The most overated hero ever. He worked better as Spiderman enemy.
-
There's footage on Youtube that includes a quick shot of his traditional suit. Not that I care about Smallville but..there ya go.
-
and not only does it show the blue suit (looks like superman returns style with the raised shelid) but we also see that Jonathon kent, lional luther and brainiac are all returning. Also green arrow has a new suit, and lois uses the name "superman". It's an orgazmic trailer for smallville fans and gets me more pumped then this marvel stuff
-
...in taking on a role in this. Other than that,can't wait.
-
ZAC EFRON as THOR!! Billy Bob Thornton as ODIN! and ANDY DICK as LOKI!!! and, it's a comedy, like fantastic four!!we'll billions people,everyone loves reboots!
-
It would hard for her to sport cleavage she doesn't have. And while she is very pretty, I wouldn't call her sexy.
-
...was that he was simply "okay". The movie was pretty good, and I'm a fan of Norton's, but he really didn't get me jazzed up about the character. I'd rather see Edward Norton in some other role where he really electrifies the material than doing more Hulk. Right now, I'm willing to give the Hulk another go on film, but I'm not overly eager for it, and if he were never to appear on film again I wouldn't be particularly upset. So I say good luck to Ruffalo, and maybe he can spark my interest with what he does with the character.
-
is clearly playing some sort of undercover deity keeping an eye on Thor and his abs.
-
but there nothing wrong with that, theres more then just having big tits to be sexy, Natalies got some nice little boobies that suit her frame and i'd be more then happy the jizz all over them, plus tits come and go but an ass like the one natalie has is a once in a lifetime occurance
-
I don't think Odin will have died in it. It's probably Odinsleep. That's when Odin sleeps to regenerate his power and everything goes ape-shit in Asgard. Impressive if they put that in there and didn't just "kill" him.
-
if Ruffalo, doesn't spark your interest Marvel can just recast a 4th time.
-
I bet Kat Dennings character will turn out to be the Enchantress. And on a side note, my man-breasts are bigger than Portman's mosquito bites- though she is still beautiful.
-
How the fuck did he not fall out? Magic ring powers?
-
but his ego got above him and he was like "nah homes i'm out and gettin my own comic f dis evil shit yo"
-
Jul 25, 2010 5:02:50 PM CDT
Somebody better tell Portman Marvel doesn't honor contracts!
by hollywoodhellraiser
Oh well its not like she not going to get recast anyways!
-
Jul 25, 2010 5:03:59 PM CDT
At this point i don't want to see hulk played by the same actor
by redbull_werewolf
they should recast for every appearance, it would be like an injoke for the fans
-
Seriously, this is starting to look and sound pretty good. A couple of those early pics had me a little nervous.

NATALIE NOT SEXY? LAY THINE EYES 'PON YON VISAGE, HERETICS ...
by bringingsexyback
http://viploft.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/natalie-portman-nude.jpg
Alack! Mine pants doth swelleth with lust, mine loins eager to spill nectar! -
Time for bed
-
The very picture I had in mind whilst defending Ms.Portman. Yow!
-
Thor will be absolutely amazing, and all those who've pissed and moaned about plastic-y costumes and other such nonsense will be proclaiming it's greatness from the highest mount. Hypocritical nerds are the bane of this fucking place.
-
Is busted as hell. It really bothers me how much aicn readers pine over her. She aint remotely hot. I assume people over here like her because they might have a chance to hook up with her, as opposed to normal, ya know, good looking actresses.
-
Yes! Proof positive that Natalie can lay claim as one of the world's sexiest. Sure, she's a tiny thing. But that's good! It's very good!

is like Green Lantern without the green. What the hell? Oh, it's Smallville...that explains it.
-
seems links dont werk in this enviorment. conspiracy? anyway they gave of artist renderings showing the new suit. its not the traditional one shown in the teaser. i dont think they could ever use that legally. it's a one piece number. it doesnt have a cape. im sure some searching will reveal it.
-
she looks like she'd let you do whatever you want because of low self estemm issues..plus she's got a giant set of tits so i'd lube them up and go at it
-
Protruding hip bones and ribs just means she needs a hamburger. The first (and only?) nude scene she did was for that short, and she looked like she dropped below 100 lbs for that. It makes me wonder if she'll only take off her clothes if she's got bones sticking out.
-
I'm pretty sure Punisher War Zone was a Marvel produced film.
-
Jul 25, 2010 5:48:55 PM CDT
yeah Punisher WZ was a deal similar to Incredible hulk
by redbull_werewolf
It didn't fall under the 9 film deal with Paramount, but MArevel still owned the film and could use aspects of it in future paramount films. Although i doubt Lionsgate would fuss much about losing punisher profits if he appeard in the avengers
-
you just have to remove the spaces to visit them. Superman's costume without the cape, on the other hand...that doesn't work at all.
-
And Snipes for Blade IV!!
-
3 films, 3 flops. Maybe John Q Public is trying to tell you something, Marvel.
-
She really needs to eat meat!
-
Marvel are jewing the cast of these movies, so likely Blade would be offered to Doug E. Doug to save some cash
-
To ice skate up hill!
The proposed Blade 3, a vampire inhabited planet set years after 2, would actually work well now.. Shame! -
have all been complete and utter shite. Marvel would be smart to distance themselves from both characters on the silver screen.
-
You cannot keep things in continuity and just conveniently ignore a previously unwatchable installment and just completely change the tone. War Zone was unwatchable crap as was the Mctiernan Punisher. Reboot it with a new actor and start fresh with Michael Mann style man on a mission NOT CAMPY action. jesus Christ, fucking fanboys.
-
To continue paying Norton.

Both characters are not even second tier in the Marvel U...
by peter franks
Kathy Bates. They're 'C' grade at best. Why should or would Marvel waste time on them when they can instead continue to build the Marvel Universe around the 2012 event of Avengers?
-
If that helps youhttp://tinyurl.com/2vls8f9

I think it gets a negative rep due to the low box office and some of the films camp, but it honestly fit in with the movie, Punisher is supposed to be the dark one, so having a campy villan worked for the film also the movie was full of hardcore action and ray stevenson is one of the best casting choices in the history of comic book movies (he looked like the artwork come to life). I also agree that the first 2 blade films are great (the first one after all kicked off this comic book movie obsession in hollywood)
-
make mine Luke Cage and Iron Fist over Blade and the fucking Punisher, please. They've had their chances...repeatedly.
-
Stevenson was a pretty damn good Punisher, he just needed a better script to work with. He definitely sold the "I'm going to kill every motherfucker in this room" vibe. Although the violence was too cartoony and the villains in War Zone were caricatured bullshit, I agree, Stevenson is the best representation of the character so far.
-
My mom knows who punisher is, i doubt she'd know what a thor was
-
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Your mom knew who the Punisher was likely because you have shit taste in comics (like you do in films) and she saw one of those Punisher rags in your room one afternoon. Thor is not only a Marvel character, genius...he's the God of Thunder in Norse fucking mythology. Oh, and tell your mom I'll be her God of Thunder later tonight when I lay that shit down after you go nighty night.
-
First serious proper dip into films..
It did for them what Freddy did for New Line.
Think a 4th would be bugger now that the kids love vampires, make it Blade V Twilight.. I'd pay good money to see them constipated fuckers get slayed and I wouldn't be alone! -
Top-Tier to me then!!
-
A direct quote from RedBull Werewolf's mom right around midnight tonight. Is she worthy to hold the hammer and to possess my power? Oh, you'd best believe it!
-
Although... I can't imagine any scenario where that would be a likely cause of action.
-
Warner's now own new line and i can't see the parent company of DC comics releasing a Marvel film, which means likely the right would revert back to marvel and they would want to reboot it rather then be stuck to the coninuity of the previous films
-
bcuz who cares.
-
My futuristic black smith/weapons builder versus the cyborg hordes and mutant legions. Matrix lobby shootout extended for 2 hours with 3-d. I pray for Keanu and him being older and grizzled is an actual plus.
-
I never thought of that until now, WB will probably just shelve the property to keep Marvel away from the royalties, the sneaky bastards.
-
TV Thor still owns your asses!
-
Maybe you live in an alternate reality from mine but McTiernan has never had anything to do with any of the Punisher films. I most definitely agree with you about War Zone being fucking awful though. Aside from the spot on casting of Ray Stevenson that is. Speaking of Ray Stevenson, wouldn't people be upset with him staying on as Punisher seeing as how he is also in THOR?
-
And they could get the actor from the last flick - he was cool.
-
I really wish I could see this footage, just reading it sounds pretty awesome.
-
Tony JA in the REAMKE OF Vandam's "Cyborg" would be a fucking monster. Imagine that film with a real budget and his abilities.
-
either that or an animated series in a similar vein to HBO's Spawn. Just animate the Punisher MAX line. Much like McFarlane's character, Punisher may be best suited for the animated realm.
-
going to jail. judge threw snipes's appeal out.

Punisher may be best suited for the animated realm.
by fat_rancor_keeper
...that's a cool idea too. Some over the top animated violent shit....tell me who wouldnt check for that on DVD or if it were a TV series? Not everything NEEDS to be some giant multimillion dollar film.
-
I don't like to be reduced to talkbacker fanboy-ness (that she herself has acknowledged) but Portman! Damn! I even watched that Top Chef episode she was a guest judge for and was pleasantly surprised when her dirty mind made a joke out of something "being a delicious prick on the tongue".
-
Hey guys, check out my Inception spoof at www.fumpdibbidy.blogspot.com
-
Not newsworthy? It sounds idiotic to me, actually; but maybe GDT wants to mastermind a chunk of Disney real estate, a la THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER. Still a disappointing choice, though.
-
short seasons of 10-13 episodes, hard egde violence, nudity, language with a great cast, each season could be a story arc adapted from the comics. Something like that would work better for punisher then a 2 hour movie
-
........now let's see Marvel pay me for that idea.
-
to be in Thor?????what the what...this could really become a big f'n deal for the avengers flick
-
to be in Thor?????what the what...this could really become a big f'n deal for the avengers flick

and fuck Agent Coulson. We want Clay Quartermain!
-
he's not dead. quint: how did you not know that?!?!
-
Word!
-
What if Thor, not worthy to lift the hammer, goes about in search of something to redeem himself. He meets lame little Dr. Blake, who teaches him what true heroism is. Blake sacrifices himself for whatever reason, Thor calls on Odin to help Blake. Gets his power back, but tied with Blake!
-
....or I will steal you soul with this insidious gem affixed to my forehead.
-
I think Branagh can pull it off.
-
I read that Del Toro was going to write and produce it, but now he's for sure lined up to direct it as well? That would be nice.
-
... I can't take another Punisher fail.
-
... At least Harry didn't review Salt, either. So there's that, anyway. Yeah, off topic... but I did post an on-topic one as well.
-
Actually, you'd be surprised. They do amazing things with push-up bras these days... and all the chicks know about them, too. It is sort of a disappointment to finally get one of them off a woman and the illusion of C's or D's suddenly become the reality of B's or A's... but by then it's too late.
-
the only way a reboot works is if ennis gets to write the scriptnot sure why everyone is in love with stevenson in the role...he is ok...but he spent most of the film fighting with his accent

...is the meter. "I was a fool… to think you were ready." Pentameter. "Your ancestors called it magic, yet you call it science," and "the answers you seek will be yours once I claim what’s mine,” both fourteeners. Maybe I'm reading too far into this, and MAYBE, just MAYBE, nobody but me gives a crap, but I'm hoping Branaugh was specifically chosen for this purpose. It was always my favorite part of the Thor books.
-
I want Richard III with superpowers. I want King Lear with a thundering hammer of doom, damnit.
-
unlike the other panels, which had no security, seems the thor panel made sure that no camera phones were out of pocketsbut the sound of the trailer is pretty awesomei would like to see what branaugh could do with kirby's 4th world
-
"i would like to see what branaugh could do with kirby's 4th world"
I like the cut of your jib. -
The only time we've seen her titties is in paparazi pics. But yeah check out that short film for some nice shots of that sweet ass
-
An evil character who can pull the strings in many movies, as counter for Nick Fury.
Loki, Magneto, the cloud Galactus are not dominating.
Mandarin? Baron Strucker? Red Skull? -
I'm not continuing with that because it would make me seem juvenile, coarse, and it might offend Natalie and thus ruin my admittedly scant chances.
-
Thor just finished Natalie in her room. Better than seeing the crack of dawn. Bad joke.
-
Some friends and I are re-shooting & editing (fixing) scenes from the star wars prequels and we need her to re-do many scenes.....then we are going to work on it in adobe after effects.Realistically - Does anyone think she'll help us out with this project and also will she accept Burger King & White Castle meals as payment? Anyway in the end I'm sure you guys will love are Star Wars edit.....it'll be the prequel trilogy you always wanted.
-
Those were from SDCC last year, and they were already debunked as fakes.
-
I believe she goes nude in that film- some evil Monk locks her in a dungeon and does unspeakable things to her. Uses and abuses her.

Motherfucking Skrulls be all up in their shit!

now tell me THAT wouldn't be the epic cinema event of all time! True Marvel fans know this!
-
or at least an animated dvd film of secret wars.
-
However, I'm sure Marvel will get around to it eventually.
-
and Sony won't be letting go of that cash cow franchise any time soon...unless the reboot fails.

in a movie called Closer with Clive Owen, Jude Law and Julia Roberts. Devastating relationship by the director of the Graduate. But yes, her role required her to be a stripper and she does do a full on strip tease where you get to see her ass quite prominently.

Not campy and not sappy bull shit. Just read one fucking comic and make a Punisher movie. I literally am not a great writer but I could put a script together. Same goes for Blade actually both could be done well. Let the Oldspice guy be Blade he'd be perfect.

Just kiddin;-)! Keep up the good work.

know of a bootleg of this footage? I can't find anything. It took all of three minutes to see War Machine last year... this is frustrating.

All films are working toward THANOS. Thanos will eventually
by ultratron
take on the power of god as we all know. And reset the underlying flaw in the language of the universe. Apparently it's a huge secret but in Thor you will see Thanos wielding the infinity gauntlet as they introduce his character and lady death. Some of the asguardians are battling Thanos as he steals the gauntlet. Eventually Thanos will reset the entire marvel universe and they'll reboot all the movie franchises for a new generation. This is marvel's overall battle strategy for their new films. It's kinda like how Lucas and Disney have this gigantic generations long milking strategy

You all know he's born to play this.

Why didn't one work? Comments welcome!

Ruffalo should be Hulk at the beginning of the movie, then switch actors every time he appears as Banner again. It could be like The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Maybe the fourth time through it could be a female or a young kid, a la Hellraiser.

The Pushier sucks as a character. He's basically just every guy in every action movie. There's nothing interesting you can do with Punisher. I would rather he just pops up in a Marvel movie here or there in cameos. Like if you throw in him the Captain America sequel as someone who has to help Cap. out. That could be cool. Or even if he showed up in an Iron Man movie. I don't think he's worth his own movie. The Thomas Jane movie sucked. The Ray Stevens movie really sucked. I actually don't think Ray Stevens was bad in the movie, but the tone of the movie and a lot of the other actors sucked. Dominic West and Doug Hutchinson tried to play it too campy and it just came off as bad. The Punisher will never work as a movie. If you made it an anime, it could be amazing though.
-
Casino Royale just without James Bond would be very easy to do. That film did a brilliant job showing a guy who is incredibly deadly and adept at violence without de-humanizing anything or going over the top. Even when obviously impossible shit was happening it was grounded in a refreshing sense of realism. Like, ok people couldnt really do this, but if they COULD this is what it would look like. And give the action a cool stark but incredibly cinematic tone like Michael Manns bank heist in Heat.

All the Avengers are in already! -
made into a movie by directors like Peckinpah or Walter Hill.its very funny that they have failed 3 times to bring the most one-dimensional character with the most simplistic premise in the whole comic universe into the big screen.although i believe Dolph's Punisher was the most faithful and closest we got in the comic character,but that was the 80s cheesy version.now we need the more interesting,serious and adult Garth Ennis Max Punisher version dammit.
-
read Garth Ennis Punisher Max and you will be surprised to learn how wrong you are.Ennis did the wisest take in the character: he acknowledged that he is one-dimensional,so he brought a lot of other more complex character which used to lay interesting stories where the Punisher is the epicenter or sometimes just the outsider who brings closure to the story as a bringer of justice.

Stevenson is the best representation of the PUNISHER so far.
by fanboy71
I second that. And third and fourth it. Stevenson was a great Punisher. Jane's Punisher was a pussy.
-
but yesterday while watching Invictus,i thought that the actor with the shaved head who was playing the leader of Mandela's white bodyguards would also have been a great Punisher or Dredd.minus his accent ofc.

Dame Portman looks winsome and verily prepared for mounting by the Son of Odyn!

Is Rachel Portman? Natalie's sister? Where and who said anything about Rachel Portman? Stupid people should read what they write.

Leave the solo film alone for a few years, but Include Ray stevenson in a small cameo in The avengers, Guage the fan reaction and then after all this avengers stuff is over, greenlight a punisher movie set in the Marvel film world (i don't belive war zone took place in that world, but i could be wrong)
-
Would like to know what plans they have for Thors hammer (and not the one Natalie can't keep her eyes off of)
-
In a nerdy Jewish girl next door kinda way. and she has a decent rack. Liked her in Nick and Nora. Looks like this flick is shaping up. I hoped beyond hope that Branaugh would do a good job, looks like he is the right man. I would have loved to see John McTeirnan have done this though. 13th warrior showed how Vikings should look.
-
Is cute, and you dorks who say she is ugly would fuck her and cum on here huge tits in a heartbeat and you know it, don't lie, you know you would.
-
i guess the third time wasnt a charm.Ever heard of "3 strikes and you're out"?I did like both Lungren's and Stevenson's versions but mostly as a guilty pleasure. it's high time to focus on the more lesser known characters from the marvel universe. especially the 3-4th tier heroes from the silver age instead of another potential flop regarding Mr. P.Am I right?
-
Would be the best Frank Castle. Watch The A-Team.
-
Forget making anymore lame movies, The Punisher deserves to be on either HBO or Showtime.
A weekly TV series is the only way for The Punisher to get any justice.
What do ye all think? -
Odin doing the voiceover narrative of worthiness reminds of a scene Simonson did on his run of Thor. It was his 2d issue and had Blake and Beta Ray Bill racing for the staff of Thor. Bill won and was summoned to Asgard leaving Blake in a thunderstorm alone and crying "father!". Think that was the inspiration for this scene.
-
“A team is more than the sum of its parts,” Whedon continued, “this cast is more than I could ever have dreamed for. And I am going to blow it!”
Did you think movies were made by actors performing scenes staged by directors working from scripts? Movies are made by a series of blowjobs. -
after the announcement of the Punisher being back in the hands of Marvel. Jewish community celebrates!

I wish some of you nerds would quite with the Asgardians should look like Vikings. NO THEY SHOULDN'T!! The Vikings Worshipped them, they were their gods. I can understand some similar instances but Thor and Co should not look just like human Vikings Dammit

Norton was fine as Banner but the guy and Marvel couldn't come to terms.

Jackson and Rourke worked it, but Norton was being to difficult
by the founder
The more I give thought on this whole Ed Norton debacle the more I realize that this man is the problem and not Marvel. Now I'm not saying that Marvel is all innocent but looking at the situation with Jackson and Rourke and how they came to a deal with Marvel speaks in volumes. Both of those actors didn't just role over and took it up the @ss by Marvel. If they weren't happy they would've walked. Jackson is an Alister who works constantly and Rourke popularity is rising again. Neither of them gave in to Marvel. Norton's ass was being difficult and wanted some outlandish demands that Marvel wasn't going to give him. So they parted ways.
-
Yeah Both are piss poor, I will say this about war zone. It is a good looking movie. Probably the best looking bad movie ever made.
-
With those objects existing in the Movie Marvel Universe, the Avengers film better not settle for some lame-ass generic alien invasion as in "The Ultimates".
-
there will be trouble.

Thor! Another quality genre picture brought to you,in part, by New Mexico.

Ok..she is a hot piece of ass and not the typical moronic Hollywood bimbo...I'll give her that.But for FUCKS SAKE the girl is a horrible actress. Unless the script and direction are perfect...she brings NOTHING to the table. Really, she is incapable of delivering a decent performance unless everything around her is pitch perfect. When people still point to movies you did when you were 12-13 as an example of your best work...something is amiss in your skill set.

The only Punisher for me anymore is Ray Stevenson. I really hope Marvel doesn't dismiss him completely. I know War Zone was considered a failure, but his performance as Frank Castle was certainly not. He embodied the character to an extent that neither Dolph Lundgren nor Tom Jane could even dream about.
-
Please Marvel, I just finished watching both Boondock Saints and its sequel, and Troy Duffy should direct any relaunch of The Punisher (this is assuming that he is over his 'ego issues,' which I honestly have no idea).
Look at either of those two films and you see that he gets it. He was born to do The Punisher, though coupled with the writing of Garth Ennis, then I can't see how you can't have box-office gold (as long as it is handled in a Blade-like fashion, namely with no more than $25-40 million dollar budget and, unlike Blade, making sure that David Goyer is nowhere where his very Goyerness will force the director to use vampire Pomeranians or something stupid like that). -
Could work if you don let him anywhere near the script and the casting. Or the filming. And he should stay at least 100 yards from all actors, sets, or equipment. Even then, I would say that I would be best for the producers to keep a very close eye on Mr Duffy.

Did the music in Chocolat, which was pretty great. Never saw the movie though. Have a few tracks on my iPod.

I'm now officially much more excited about this than I am Captain America (though hearing about that Red Skull scene with the Cosmic Cube and mentioning Odin got me excited). This sounds pretty badass.

With Nova and Captain Marvel, The Skrulls and the Kree, and Thanos! Marvel! Give us a badass sci-fi space action film!

An epic cosmic marvel movie would indeed rock. But only if you find a way to get Beta Ray Bill in there somehow.
-
Praise 2for2true!
-
He won't look out of place in a Cosmic Marvel film the way he might in another one (well, he'd fit in Thor just fine I'm sure). It could be badass and epic. Man I hope someone has the balls to try it one day.

No joke.

"“Why don’t you tell me where you received that training. Afghanistan? You strike me more as a soldier of fortune type. Who are you?”"

@conspiracy you're dead on about Portman but I still love her
by the founder
Despite liking her she is such a flat actress. I just think she gets credit and respect and work cause she is one of the few young respectable actresses in Hollywood that young girls can look up to I think. When you look at the other Hollywood actresses or those famous for nothing personalities like Paris Hilton or those worthless Kardashion or how ever it's spelled sisters Portman has to be kept in the mix to somehow balance out the junk. Hell I could be wrong, she may have friends in high places and plus she's Jewish.
-
As awesome as that would be I don't trust Marvel now to deliver correctly on the big screen. A couple of years ago with Marvel at the helm of them doing theirnown films I would've been like sweet but now, I'm not sure they'll do any better then Fox did with Galactus.
-
If thats an indication of the dialogue, uh oh. Plus wasn't there a scene where Thor is asking Natalie and her sister where he is and he does the same thing. Don't remember it exactly but it was another cringeworthy moment.
