The "movie road" to Avengers is paved by (chronologically) by Ironman, Ironman 2, Incredible Hulk (which happens after Ironman 2 from what we can see with Stark Entreprise's evolution), Thor and First Avenger: Captain America.
And after that?
It seems there's gonna be a new batch of Marvel adaptations, after the Avengers crossover.
Like Antman! A rumoured Luke Cage! And Ironman 3.
Behold!! The Mandarin!!... He's got ten rings and his all evil! *sigh*
I've never really been a fan of the Mandarin. Then again, I've never really been a fan of Ironman himself before the movies...
He's always acted like a douche, he's selfish, a rich guy with no problems (and don't you dare quoting the alcohol problem, like it was really that much of a problem in the first place!)... During the comic event Civil Wars, it was difficult to see Ironman's side winning instead of the good-hearted Captain America's.
But it's logical to have Ironman finally meeting the movie version of the Mandarin at some point, like having the Green Goblin in Spider-man or Magneto in X-men. He's his iconic cult antagonist, no matter how silly a guy with magic rings could be. (plus there's been so many references to his "Ring" order in both Ironman movies!)
Here's Jon Favreau talking about all that:
By then (what's it gonna be? 2012? later?) the Marvel Moviverse TM (I just made up Marvel Moviverse!, quote me on that! : P) will have magic (Thor) and stuff (supersoldier serum/Hulk/Captain).
I'm sure the magic rings can kinda work in a movie! Just make them mystical and part machine or something~
And it's not like the Ironman armour is that much realistic, I mean, did you see how he wears it, with that much firepower and even an AI/super computer inside!
Moving on-
On Christopher Nolan's side, who's not yet ready to make a new Batman movie but almost, there's a new movie called Inception coming!
Oh, come on!! Did they have to rehash the Dark Knight teaser posters!
'Like in case we weren't sure he's the one who directed it!
'Like in case we weren't sure he's the one who directed it!
Having him back on something more original is great news! (like he did inbetween both previous Batman movies)
This sounds pretty unique but enough talk, here's some spots for ya kids:
Well, in comics it's pretty usual to have religious themes (Ghost Rider, Satan, etc..), spiritual/mystical themes (Thor, Strange, Ironfist...), Science fiction (Ironman, Mutants...) and many other opposite kind of universes (urban violence/Punisher, parallel worlds, time travellers, Nick fury never aging since WW2, etc..)
ReplyDeleteBut in live action...
That's something else all together!
I don't know how the audiance will react, but all that still falls under "fiction". It's not like Ironman is that realistic in the first place! (come on! Admit it!)
Plus imagine the HULK meeting Ironman!... I'm already kinda mind shocked just from that!
