I've got 3 more episodes of Daredevil to go, but its easily the best superhero show ever.

I finished Daredevil earlier today and I really only came away with two complaints:

• The decision to kill Ben Urich.
• The drama between Foggy and Matt once his secret is revealed.

Honestly I'd say the show is better than any of the Marvel movies. Really excited for the Iron Fist show now especially with all the easter eggs we got.

Well that's not really fair. 13 hrs to develop characters vs 2 hrs to do the same.

Kevin Feige Phase 3 Updates

“Thor 3 is being scripted right now and I think we get a draft soon. Particularly [Chris] Hemsworth is hounding me during this junket so I’m going to push the writers [Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost] to hurry.”

“Black Panther same thing. I have some director meetings set in the next few weeks once [Avengers: Age of Ultron] gets out the door. And casting is already underway in many ways. Some of which you know about, some of which you don’t.”

“Captain Marvel, we’re ready to announce writers hopefully in the next week or two.”

Just finished Daredevil. I didn't love the ending and I really don't like the suit. It's too Batman Begins. I don't share your complaints though. I feel like both would have been predictable plot points in seasons later to come and work much better here. I didn't like the completely dropped romance angles once Mrs. C. left. In that last scene, I kept waiting for him to touch her face but it never happened and it was frustrating because all three of them had great chemistry together.

And I'm super sad that Wesley died. Such a greatly written character. My favorite part of the show was Fisk. Every scene was captivating. And it was so good how the thoughts of the people surrounding him reflected exactly what I thought. I was thinking "Yeah, he does seem a lot weaker because of her. Go back to the private Kingpin!"

Mark Ruffalo Reveals Universal Owns the Rights to Solo HULK Movies

Collider: How many pictures do you have left on your Marvel contract?

MARK RUFFALO: I think it’s four now, but that could always go further. That could include different—I could show up in another character’s movie; I could do Avengers 3 and 4; I could do a Hulk standalone; I could do a combination of those things. That’s four or five, I think.

RUFFALO: As far as a Hulk movie, a standalone Hulk movie, Marvel doesn’t really have the rights to that yet. That’s still Universal’s property, so there’s that issue. That’s a big impediment to moving forward with that. Now I don’t think that’s insurmountable, by the way, but I don’t know where it’s going from here for me.

CAPTAIN MARVEL: Writers Behind GUARDIANS and INSIDE OUT to Pen Script

Captain Marvel is on her way. Marvel Studios continues to develop its first female-led superhero movie for release in 2018 (after what will have been 19 male-led superhero films for the studio, it’s about damn time), and it appears that they’ve zeroed in on the first piece of the puzzle for making Captain Marvel a reality: screenwriters. THR reports that Nicole Perlman, who co-wrote Guardians of the Galaxy, and Meg LeFauve, who co-wrote Pixar’s upcoming Inside Out, are in negotiations to pen the screenplay for Captain Marvel.

However, Marvel Studios is taking a unique approach in crafting this script. Apparently Marvel President Kevin Feige had met separately with Perlman and LeFauve about their takes on the property, but he liked both ideas so much that he’s combining the two for the finished film. This is similar to a different kind of development that’s becoming more commonplace in Hollywood, in which a studio commissions two separate scripts and then takes the best elements from both to create a Frankenstein-esque final version. In this case, though, the combo occurred organically, and Perlman and LeFauve will now be working side-by-side on the script.

In the comics, Captain Marvel is an Air Force pilot named Carol Danvers who acquires superpowers after an accident in which her DNA is fused with that of an alien. An early draft of Avengers: Age of Ultron had Captain Marvel showing up at the end of the film, but Feige and Co. subsequently decided they didn’t want the character to appear in the MCU fully formed. It appears we’re in for an origin story, then.

The hiring of Perlman is a curious development. In the early days of Marvel Studios’ development, Perlman worked in their script program and chose Guardians of the Galaxy as her assignment. She penned a few drafts of the screenplay, but once James Gunn came aboard as director he performed a rewrite of his own. A kerfuffle ensued last year over exactly how much of Perlman’s initial script made it into the final product, but it appears that it’s all water under the bridge as far as Marvel Studios is concerned.
Apparently Marvel made an effort to hire female writers to bring Captain Marvel to the screen, so one has to wonder if they’ll do the same when it comes to finding the film’s director. Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow is really the only three-dimensional female character in the MCU at the moment (with plenty of credit due to Joss Whedon‘s script for The Avengers), so here’s hoping Captain Marvel adds another one to the fold. The film is slated for release on July 6, 2018.

Scarlett Johansson Teases “Psychological Twists” in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

“I have read the script for Civil War. You know, the film has a very different feeling than anything of Marvel’s that I’ve read or been a part of before. These films are—I don’t think darker is the right word because there’s definitely always going to be some kind of levity, and that comes in a form of humor or hope. When you compare these films to like Batman, it’s a different feeling obviously, it’s a different audience experience, but as the stakes loom like larger and larger I think these films are kind of maturing with the audience; so there’s even more complex psychological twists that I sort of hadn’t necessarily anticipated.”
