Steven Soderbergh Has No Interest In Directing A Superhero Movie Without Sex Scenes
Another high-profile Academy Award-winning director has decided to give their thoughts on superhero movies, aka the genre that has recently been dominating Hollywood harder than John Candy’s agent in the 80s. But unlike the current reigning champion of superhero hate Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh isn’t here to be a total killjoy in regards to Marvel and DC’s catalog of films. Steven says he’ll likely never direct a superhero, simply because they’re not realistic. He’s got an issue with the flying and the spandex and the lasers shooting out of people’s hands, but specifically – he’s not into it because nobody is fucking.
Dakota Johnson Will Reportedly Star In A Marvel Movie As “Madame Web”
Forget for a second that “Madame Web” sounds like what you’d get if the 50 Shades of Gray franchise crossed over with the characters of Charlotte’s Web. But this isn’t what this is! Madame Web is a Marvel comic book character who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #210, published in 1980, and she’s about to become a big-screen star with a film adaptation. And according to some well-placed sources, Madame Web herself will be played by none other than Dakota Johnson.
Some Marvel Fans Think Tom Cruise Might Have A Cameo In “Doctor Strange 2”
To the casual viewer, the MCU is largely a messy nonsensical world with a cult-like following where mortals have superpowers and claim they are trying to save the world but actually end up destroying people’s lives and ruining entire cities. Plus there are sometimes aliens from outer space? Oops, sorry, did I say Marvelverse? I meant to say Scientology. But honestly, potato/potahto, thetan/thanos. So maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that recent leaks from the set of Doctor Strange 2: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hint that that world’s most vigorous Dianetics thumper, Tom Cruise, might show up in a cameo as Iron Man/Tony Stark. I guess this was easier than trying to get Battlefield Earth 2: Maverick of the Universe financed.
Here’s The Trailer For Marvel’s “Morbius” Starring Jared Leto
Imagine Venom, if you will. Got a picture of Tom Hardy pulling out every last stop to make sure you are enjoying a completely unhinged performance that distracts from the fact that the movie he’s in is objectively bad? Yeah? Ok, now this time imagine it’s Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage. The movie is objectively worse than the first, but Tom is still Tom and well, you’ll take any Tom you can get. Are you still picturing? Ok, great. Now picture Venom 2 without Tom but with Jared Leto in white contacts as a lab accident vampire instead. No thanks, right? Wrong! Somebody actually ordered this and the waiter told them it comes with a side of Tyrese Gibson and it’s not going to be ready until January of 2022. And you can’t get it to go either, you have to sit there exclusively in theaters and eat your Morbius while it’s hot. Readers, they looked that waiter dead in the eye and said, “I’ll have two.”
Dax Shepard Wanted A Bulked-Up Marvel Body, So He Got One
Britney Spears once said that if you want a hot body, you better work, bitch. And that’s just what Dax Shepard did. Dax worked, bitch, and now he’s got a body worthy of a $1 billion superhero franchise. But while Dax’s initial motivation was to get Marvel ready, that stopped being his motivation about halfway through his buff journey. Now he’s just looking buff for buff’s sake.
Michaela Coel Has Been Cast In “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” And Some Think She Might Replace Letitia Wright
Variety reports that Michaela Coel, the nearly universally beloved creator and star of the series I May Destroy You, has been cast in Wakanda Forever, the sequel to Marvel’s Black Panther. No word on who she will be playing but also who cares? Do you know how hard it is to be nearly universally beloved? In this economy?! In recent memory, only the dearly departed Chadwick Bozeman, T’Challa — the Black Panther himself, has been able to pull that off. Now, according to TMZ, Michaela’s addition to the cast has caused some speculation that she might be replacing formally nearly universally beloved Letitia Wright who played T’Challa’s sister Suri in BP.
