YES! I’ve been waiting for thiiiiisss!!

As with the other Assembled documentaries, I highly recommend this one. They really know how to put together an informative yet entertaining Making Of doc.

The next things I’m hoping for are that Ryan Coogler (with or without cast and creatives) will have done a Commentary, and it will be added, and a doc about the making of the music.

And BTW, I’m still wondering how TF Hannah Beachler was overlooked for an Oscar Nomination for Production Design. Just H O W ?

(I’ll have a better screen shot of the tittle for this Assembled soon.)

Marvel Studios Assembled & Wakanda Forever Podcast: Namor/Shuri + Tenoch/Letitia Moments

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Wakanda Forever [available on Disney +] [w/ time stamps to follow along]

▻ The whole cast comforted and gave Letitia a group hug at San Diego Comic Con as she broke down [Tenoch kissed her shoulder] [0:27]

▻ “We know what Black Panther is but what makes it a Black Panther movie? If we were to do another one….how would audiences recognize it?” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [5:44]

▻ We learn that Namor’s character was discussed to be in Black Panther 2 while the first movie was being written. “In the comics, the two worlds have a great rivalry” - Joe Robert Cole [Screenwriter] [13:25]

▻ Ryan was interested in Meso-American culture for the Talokanil and “…upon research it became more clear that the people of the Yucatán made a ton of sense.” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [14:40] They wanted to give Namor a culture/background different from the comic book version [a white man]. “Their [Mayan] artwork and their advanced agriculture…all of these things that they accomplished, it was a perfect palette for us to delve into.” - Joe Robert Cole [Screenwriter] [16:40]

▻ Namor’s costumes and headpieces are curated from post Yucatec Mayan culture roots. “We used a lot of kelp and things to make the headdress and hand wove his cape, but we kept it pure to what he looked like in the comics.” - Ruth Carter [Costume Designer] [17:50]

▻ Ryan and Hannah Beachler [Production Designer] show us the set of Namor’s cave and explain the time/labor that went into creating this elaborate set. Ryan points to the mural painting of Namor and the Black Panthers fight. “This one’s my favorite one” - Ryan Coogler [Director] [22:25] We learn that the style of art is “Bonampak”

▻ Letitia had to learn how to swim for her role, along with the majority of the cast. “I struggled with it. Ryan called me and he was like ‘Tish, can you swim?’ I was like ‘Sir, sir, I’m in the lab. What more do you need from me coming out of that lab?” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [26:06]

▻ All of the water scenes were half filmed under water, called “wet for wet”, and filmed outside of the water, called “dry for wet” scenes. The exosuits [Shuri is shown wearing one when exploring Talokan] were real suits that were also filmed underwater and were about a million and a half dollars each [explained by Chris Denison, Stunt Coordinator] [29:40]

▻ A clip of Letitia Wright’s “Screen Test (2016)” from the first Black Panther is shown [41:54] and we learn that Dominique Thorne [Riri Williams] also auditioned for Shuri’s role a while back

▻ The cast had differing emotions/opinions than Ryan about the decision to kill Queen Ramonda [played by Angela Basset]. “When I read that Ramonda was going to die by the hands of Namor, I was very upset. I think I almost cried on the phone to Ryan.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [43:43] Ryan and the writers felt her death would be a big “motivator”/ transformative moment in Shuri’s development and the eventual break down of her character to become the Black Panther [her arc]

▻ Ryan supported and pushed Letitia during the whole process of becoming the Black Panther to do her best work and continuously reminded her of who she was and what she was capable of when stepping into the role. Letitia wished Chad could have passed the torch to her himself to do it [46:02] + [55:03]

▻ [Referring to the making of Shuri’s Black Panther suit] “We were working with the design language of silver being representative of T’Challa, gold being representative of T’Chaka, and the little bit of where Killmonger’s coming from…We’re essentially taking those two elements and combining them.” - Ryan Meinerding [Head of visual development] [46:58]

▻ “Shuri vs Namor. We put alot into that fight.” - Aaron Toney [Fight Coordinator] [49:59] We see that a lot of the BTS of their big fight on the desert were shot with different individual sets with Tenoch, Letitia and stunt actors, separately and together. “I’m so proud of it. Shuri’s looking amazing, Namor’s looking amazing.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [50:27] Their fighting styles are explained to be very different, where Shuri is more calculated and Namor is more in his body. “With Namor, when it came to fighting styles, I pulled from….cultural aspects like Lucha Libre…asian cultures…I pulled from a style called Baji.” - Aaron Toney [Fight Coordinator] [50:49]

▻ “Processing in a way of expressing her pain and fury towards Namor, she thinks that’s going to be satisfying to her soul and it’s not….I think that’s a beautiful way to complete that arc, to realize that my brother wouldn’t do this, my mother wouldn’t want this for me….We see Shuri become a woman in her own right.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri] [53:00]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Wakanda Forever: The Official Black Panther Podcast [Hosted by Ta-Nehisi Coates]: Chapter 5 w/ Letitia Wright, Tenoch Huerta, Dr. Gerardo Aldana [available on Spotify]

▻ “What does it mean when Wakanda and Talokan give us a beauty created not to justify enslavement but to celebrate freedom?” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ Tenoch continues to put the spotlight back on indigenous communities/culture and does not claim to be apart of their experiences. “I don’t practice the culture so it is impossible to name myself indigenous….I’m not pretending to be something that I’m not…I’m just trying to honor my ancestors.” - Tenoch Huerta [Namor]

▻ A fan went to the movies with his Mayan grandma and she began to translate scenes herself while watching the film with him. “The Mayan group in LA said it [the character’s Mayan in the movie] sounds beautiful. You have an accent, it sounds good! They were happy with it.” - Tenoch Huerta [Namor]

▻ “Why are these two groups [Wakandans and the Talokanil] fighting each other? Why can’t they get together and go beat the colonizer?…I am a huge Black Panther fan but I was sitting there and found myself rooting for the Talokanil!” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ Letitia was bullied in school for her appearance when she was growing up (ex. her size, being African, etc) “I kind of let that go…I talked myself out of the idea that I should be like anyone else.” She found comfort/ amusement in going viral on TikTok. “It’s definitely flattering but I’m really shocked…I’ve never been crushed on before in school…As a black woman, I’m moving into a space where I’m finally being called beautiful but I didn’t wait for them [the media/world] to tell me that at first. I told it to myself.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

▻ “This is the highest grossing movie with the lead character as a black woman and it’s you [Letitia]. How does that feel?” - Ta-Nehisi Coates [Host]

▻ “The love that Shuri has for T’challa is the love that Letitia has for Chadwick and that’s intertwined.” Letitia shares her initial hesitancy about doing the film without Chadwick after his passing and taking on the mantle as Black Panther. “I see it as I’m a vessel. I’m a trusted vessel that’s here to honor my brother.” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

▻ Letitia laughs about fun moments they had on the set of Wakanda Forever. “He [Ryan Coogler] would say Namor and the Black Panther are having a conversation. It’s a big movie. Turn your phones off!” - Letitia Wright [Shuri]

Since the climactic wrap up of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, which closed a chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe known as The Infinity Saga and grossed almost $2.8 billion worldwide, Marvel Studios has focused on introducing new heroes and pushing ahead with sequels of some of its top characters.

But as revealed by Kevin Feige at Marvel’s Saturday presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, the Avengers are assembling once again, with two back-to-back movies set for 2025.

And while there are many other movies that will hit before that, the studio is already moving ahead creatively with at least one of the superteam tentpoles.

Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed last year’s Marvel hit, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has come aboard to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal.

Cretton is already well ensconced in the Marvel family. In addition to directing Shang-Chi, which grossed $432 million worldwide, he has an overall deal with Marvel that he signed in the wake of Shang-Chi’s success. As part of that, he is developing, with Andrew Guest, a writer-producer on comedies such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community, a live-action series featuring Wonder Man that he will exec produce and possibly direct an episode or more. He also has a Shang-Chi sequel in the works.

It is unclear who is writing the Kang Dynasty Avengers movie or what heroes would even make up the team’s roster for a story that helps close out Phase 6. Feige laid out a timeline that sees The Kang Dynasty arrive May 2, 2025, with another Avengers movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, hitting Nov. 7, 2025.

Kang is being played by Jonathan Majors and was introduced in one capacity in Marvel series Loki. Kang, or a version of him, will be re-introduced in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is due out Feb. 17, 2023. Quantumania is the movie that will launch Phase 5. In Loki, Majors played Kang with the moniker He Who Remains but the actor said at Comic-Con that there are multiple Kangs and the one from Ant-Man is different from the one in Loki.

Marvel, which will wrap up Phase 4 with this November’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, has been slowly hiring directors for its next batch of movies that will act as Phase 5 and Phase 6.

Marvel has confirmed to THR that Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) is directing Blade, scheduled for a Nov. 3, 2023 release; Julius Onah (Luce) is directing Captain America: New World Order, which will star Anthony Mackie as Captain America and open May 3, 2024; and Jake Schreier (Paper Towns) is directing Thunderbolts, which will close out Phase 5 with a release date of July 26, 2024.

Directing an Avengers movie is one of the most high-profile jobs. Joss Whedon helmed the first two Avengers movies — 2012’s The Avengers and 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. And Joe and Anthony Russo filmed the epic two-parter Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

The Russos have long stated they would like to helm a Secret Wars film, with most presuming they meant adapting the key comic mini-series that ran in in the mid-1980s. Marvel rarely outright adapts its stories, usually weaving several influences into a movie, even sometimes breaking from the literary sources entirely. To complicate matters, there is also a second Secret Wars, a 2015 storyline from writer Jonathan Hickman that involved the multiverse. In any case, after the panel, Feige noted to Deadline that the Russos were not involved in Secret Wars.

Cretton, who rose through the dramatic ranks with movies such as Short Term 12 and Just Mercy, is repped by WME, Pangea Media and Goodman Genow.

EXCLUSIVE: In one of the first major blows to the 2024 theatrical release schedule due to the ongoing actors strike, sources tell us that Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool 3 won’t be making its May 3 start-of-summer theatrical release date. Even if the strike ends in the next few weeks, a 2024 restart on the half-finished Deadpool 3 would not get the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman threequel to a May opening date.

There’s just too much to do in regards to re-assembling crew, etc. Note, this is just the beginning for 2024 titles; other studios have yet to play the game of three-card monte with their most notable films that are in positions similar to Deadpool 3.

What happens to the start of the summer now?

There is a long shot, per sources, that Captain America: Brave New World, which originally was set for May 3 and then was pushed to July 26, actually moves back because it’s in better shape than Deadpool 3, having finished production.

Disney typically holds on to highly coveted release dates, therefore if Deadpool 3 doesn’t go to July 26, there are other options like early November, which has been rich to Marvel with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ($859.2M WW) and Thor: Ragnarok ($855.3M WW), or December 20, which is where Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts is dated. As Deadline first reported, Marvel paused start of production on Thunderbolts back in May due to the onset of the WGA strike.

The previous two Deadpools were released under 20th Century Fox, and the third film is the first hatched post-merger under the Kevin Feige-run Disney-owned Marvel Studios. The Deadpool franchise stands at $1.56 billion WW and broke ground for R-rated Marvel movies with mass audiences.

“I wasn’t going to mess with the DNA of that franchise,” Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy told Deadline at TIFF about his approach to the threequel. The filmmaker is the third to take on the Merc with a Mouth after Tim Miller and David Leitch.

“Our movie is raw, audacious, very much R-rated, and we went to great lengths to not shoot it on soundstages with digital environments,” Levy teased.

“We wanted something that felt, grounded, real. … You put Hugh Jackman in his most iconic character alongside Ryan Reynolds in his most iconic character; it’s more of a descendant of Midnight Run and 48 Hours and Planes, Trains and Automobiles more than it’s a descendant of Airplane!”

While certain prolific movies such as Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ($92.8M opening), The Nun II ($32.6M) and The Equalizer 3 ($34.6M) didn’t see their openings greatly impacted by the actors strike, distribution sources believe the fact that thespians can’t promote their films has diluted ticket sales. Several notable movies did not perform up to snuff, i.e. The Creator, A Haunting in Venice and Dumb Money, to name a few.

As Deadline reported earlier today, the town’s biggest stars have offered to kick in $150M in dues over three years to end stalemate between AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA.

Disney hasn’t made the Deadpool 3 move official and did not return Deadline’s request for comment.

Black Panther (2018) Review

"Wakanda forever!"

Hail to the king, baby.

Following the death of his father in Captain America: Civil War, Prince T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, all gentle charisma and troubled stoicism) returns home to Wakanda to take his rightful place on the throne. Unbeknownst to the new king, the vengeful Erik ‘Killmonger’ Stevens (Michael B. Jordan, all burning intensity and justified anger) has teamed up with Wakanda’s old enemy, Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis, full on supervillain campiness), to bring T'Challa down and take the throne, and the mantle of Black Panther, for himself.

Phase Three of Marvel's plan for global conquest, I mean, cinematic universe got off to a spectacular start with Civil War two years ago and hasn't put a foot wrong since. Black Panther isn't going to do anything to change that. This is another strong entry in a franchise that has reached a level of quality control most studios can only dream of. But I do feel that it isn't quite as strong as it could've been.

Everything gets off to a rather unpromising start with a clunky (but nicely designed) info dump about the history of the fictional nation of Wakanda (a loving realised Afrofuturist Shangri-La, despite the odd bit of dodgy green screen here and there). I am no fan of these exposition heavy intros. I know they serve a purpose, but they always feel like the lazy option. Then the film suddenly cuts to Oakland, California (director Ryan Coogler's hometown) in 1992 for a second prologue to a much better, more interesting film: a film that is aware of its own cultural significance and has a lot of important things to say, things that will make a lot of people in the audience uncomfortable (and so they should). This film you can tell Coogler wanted to make, it's the film Black Panther is for most of its two hour runtime, except for that bit halfway through where it jets off to South Korea to be play at being a Bond movie (and a bloody good Bond movie it is, too).

Then the third act comes along and everything that previously made Black Panther great is slowly pushed aside so we can have a conventional superhero flick big battle, where the heroes take on the bad guy and their minions and there's a race against time to stop the thing. There's always a thing to stop. Normally this doesn't bother me too much. As predictable as final showdowns are, they are usually quite good. Sadly, this isn't the case here. The whole thing just lacks the vibrancy that the film's earlier, smaller scale, action scenes possessed. Plus, those armoured rhinos don't look that great. I love the concept, but the execution left a lot to be desired.

It’s a shame that Black Panther stumbles at the last hurdle, because it gets right what most of Marvel movies get wrong. In Jordan and Serkis it has two great villains, with Jordan the clear standout. His Killmonger is basically everything that Loki and his fans think the trickster god is; a fully three dimensional and sympathetic villain. This is also the best Marvel film for female characters, with great roles for Lupita Nyong'O (mercifully spared the thankless token love interest role so many Marvel leading ladies are lumbered with), Danai Gurira (who is as handy with a spear as she is with a katana), and Letitia Wright, who not only steals the film as T'Challa's tech genius baby sister, Shuri, but the whole goddamn MCU. If she is not in every single Marvel movie from this point on I am going to lodge a formal complaint with Kevin Feige.

This entire film is drowning in great acting talent. Coogler has assembled what is unquestionably the best cast ever put together for a comic book movie (until Avengers: Infinity War comes out). Unfortunately, this is also one of the film's problems. There are just too many amazing actors here that the film repeatedly struggles to find interesting things for them to do. Some are able to do wonders with the limited screentime they are given (looking at you, Sterling K. Brown and Winston Duke), while some of the cast's biggest names, like Angela Bassett or Forest Whitaker, are left floundering. Whitaker's character might as well have been named Basil Exposition since he exists purely to deliver crucial plot info and nothing more.

Notes and Quotes

--Not sure what Martin Freeman is doing here. He's not a terrible addition, just a noticeably unnecessary one, almost as if someone from on high stipulated that there must be at least one heroic white man in the movie.

--Apart from a few references to Civil War, the film is refreshingly untangled from the greater Marvel continuity. Which is surprising, considering this is the last film before Infinity War kicks off in the spring. There wasn't even a whiff of an Infinity Stone.

--Like so many comic book movie villains, Killmonger's scheme is a little too convoluted and reliant on convenience to be completely believable.

--I fully expect to see costume designer Ruth Carter's name up there come Oscar season next year.

Shuri: "Don't frighten me like that, colonizer!"

Shuri: "Great, another broken white boy for us to fix."

T'Chaka: "You are a good man, with a good heart. And it's hard for a good man to be a king."

Did Marvel Studios Just Tease Fantastic Four Movie Release Date?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

With movie theaters reopening, increasing numbers of vaccines going into people’s arms, and numbers continuing to trend in the right direction, Marvel Studios wants you to remember the cinematic experience is important to them. Not only that, they want to remind you about how good it felt to cheer along with the climactic “Avengers assemble!” moment in Avengers: Endgame, and they’re promising that there’s more good times to come.

To that end, they’ve released a sizzle reel with highlights from recent years, and teases of what’s next on their theatrical agenda, from Black Widow this July to Guardians of the Galaxy in May of 2023. There’s lots to get excited about in between, including the first look at footage from The Eternals, and what seems to be a promise about where the Fantastic Four movie sits on the MCU Phase 4 priority list.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The Fantastic Four movie tease comes at the very end, after we get exciting announcements like the release dates for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and the titles for Captain Marvel 2 (which now has the title of The Marvels) and Black Panther 2 (now known as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever). It’s only the same logo that we’ve known about for a while now, and there’s no release date accompanying it (unlike all the other projects teased) but it does give us an idea of where Fantastic Four sits in the MCU list of priorities right now.

Prior to this sizzle reel, there were four unclaimed 2023 release dates on the MCU calendar. With the reveals of release dates for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 that only leaves two vacant spots for Marvel’s 2023 movies: July 28, 2023 and Nov. 3, 2023. The fact that Fantastic Four is the next thing teased right after we see Guardians 3 in its May 5, 2023 slot almost certainly means that it’s taking one of those spots.

Realistically, there’s no other Marvel movie that could fill one of these slots. There are no big screen MCU projects currently announced other than Blade, which has a star (Mahershala Ali) and a writer (Stacy Osei-Kuffour) but not a director. It’s telling that Marvel put Fantastic Four here rather than Blade, and it seems like a natural fit for prime summer blockbuster real estate like July 28, 2023. On the other hand, Blade would slot pretty nicely into a dark and moody, early-November slot, which could benefit from plenty of Halloween-season promotion leading up to it. And yes, Kevin Feige has promised us Deadpool 3 is on the way, but that doesn’t seem imminent, so we’re probably looking at 2024 for that one.

There are no details out there at the moment about the MCU’s Fantastic Four movie, other than the fact that Jon Watts of Marvel’s Spider-Man trilogy is directing. But there are a lot of Fantastic Four-friendly concepts being introduced to the MCU. WandaVision seemed to tease the origin of Marvel’s first family, possibly with a connection to SWORD early on (and those SWORD uniforms look like proto-FF costumes). Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will introduce noted F4 villain Kang the Conqueror (where he’ll be played by Jonathan Majors), a character who, depending on where you catch him, may be related to F4 patriarch Reed Richards. And we even engaged in some speculation that a mysterious figure spotted in one of the trailers for the Loki Disney+ series could be Doctor Doom!

Whether or not the MCU Fantastic Four movie makes it into that July 28, 2023 slot, it’s pretty clear that this is going to be the next big franchise launch after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and The Eternals. And considering the sprawling lore of the MCU, it’s the launch that might benefit the most from being the subject of mid and post-credits teases as Phase 4 properly gets underway in theaters.
