Chris Evans gives Captain America Civil War plot details…..

The third solo film in the Captain America franchise, titled Captain America: Civil War, explores the recent 2006-07 Civil War comic book story arc. The film is shaping up to be the battle of the century, pitting hero against hero – even Avenger against Avenger. It’s far more complicated than good vs evil, according to Captain America star Chris Evans, who asserts that there is no clear good or bad side.

At the recent Salt Lake Comic Con Chris Evens (Captian America) shared his thoughts on the upcoming film…

“Tony actually thinks we should be signing these accords and reporting to somebody and Cap, who’s always been a company man and has always been a soldier, actually doesn’t trust anymore. Given what happened in Cap 2, I think he kind of feels the safest hands are his own. And these are understandable concerns, but this is tough, because even reading the script, you think ‘I think I agree with Tony in a way,’ and I do agree that to make this work, you do need to surrender to the group. It can’t just be one person saying this is right and this is what we’re going to do.”

“But Cap has his reasons, he certainly has his reasons, and he is a good man and his moral compass is probably the cleanest. This is a tough thing. This is what made it so interesting while we were filming, and it’s hopefully what will make the movie great is nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong. There’s no clear bad guy here. We both have a point of view, which is akin to most disagreements in life and politics.”

Wolverine 3 update

Wolverine 3 is already set to begin filming in early 2016, with Mangold, Jackman, and Patrick Stewart all on board for the new feature. In past films of the X-Men franchise, the relationship between Wolverine and Professor X has always bordered on a sort of familial intimacy.3.

In a recent interview with Collider, Jackman spoke as to the creative direction Wolverine 3 is taking. Although the script is only partially completed, the actor had plenty to say regarding Stewart’s importance in the new film, stating:

“Patrick does figure in it, that’s for sure. I think it’s a really important relationship, but I want to see signs of that quasi-father/son sort of relationship that has not been seen before, and sides of particularly Professor X that have not been seen before. So we have some really, really cool ideas.“

“The ultimate plan is let’s start shooting next year… I’m starting the training, I’m starting the eating and mentally really preparing for it. It’s not just me, [but] the studio as well, [and] I’m trying to do something with this that’s a little special, a little different. I’ve got a very, very strong idea of what that is. I really have known for quite a long time how I want to finish this sort of odyssey that I’ve been on, this amazing journey, and I won’t let it fall anywhere in between. I won’t fall short of it.“

Review: Fantastic Four

Finally deciding to actually pay and go see the newest incarnation of marvel’s “First Family” was kinda like finally watching Human Centipede first sequence.

….Ok I guess that statement requires a bit of explanation.  Both film were and are infamous for being utterly destroyed by both critics and audience alike. The noise and fury of the hatred and disgust is wildly overwhelming and somewhat misplaced. In both cases I was severly apprehensive to watch the either films due to the deluge each film got in terms of negativity which served to pre-determine my mindset going into the experiance.  But then again most people cannot think outside their little matchbook sized box of thinking, but I digress.

In the end, all things being equal, both Fantastic Four and Human Centipede first sequence are not good films but also are not as horrible as you might imagine.  The disgust and shock is all in your head.

Anyway….

While I very much prefered this “version” of the Fantastic Four when compared against the first attempt and or its sequel, it is not the best but easily not the worst superhero film I have seen, that distinction would have to go to either, Dardevil, Catwoman or maybe Hulk or the first transformers movie… take your pick.

But I cannot deny the effort of  Fantastic Four’s well meaning attempt, if for no other reason than the special effects were decent, and with all the other superhero movies so far it was fun to try and discover all the hidden easter eggs and try and make connection to other films (Like the main scientist is the same actor who portrayed Mr Blue in Incredible Hulk? not sure if that was just a casting coincidence or a connection

Not to say there were not major flaws in the movie mostly pacing, they should have cut out all the backstories entirely and started in the middle  so  even though yes the first forty minutes of the film were boring as hell and completely drawn out and  the following fifty minute are muddled as far as the storyline is concerned and yes the villain (Dr Doom)  does not appear in the film until the last twenty minutes. Despite all that and in spite of my convictions, I feel comfortable in saying At first I got caught up in the mass hysteria of judgment and condemnation for something that was not as nearly as bad as the fear mongers had described.

Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) gives update on Captain America Civil War

In a recent interview with Premiere.fr (via CBM), Olsen herself teased what fans can expect from Captain America Civil War and what she most enjoys about her character.

“[Scarlet Witch is] someone who’s more powerful than she’s able to control and she ends up going insane because of it. And she’s like a wildcard. You never know [if] she’s a hero or a villain, and that’s a very fun part. … I think [Captain America: Civil War is] going to be the best one. For real, I am very excited to see it myself. I only worked on set for five weeks. So I wasn’t there for the majority of it.”

“[Daniel] Brühl is an incredible actor and he’s playing the main villain( Baron Zemo) in it. And he’s incredible! It’s a movie about people as opposed to robots this time. So it’s darker and it’s allowed to be darker because it gets more in the mindset of humans rather than machines.”

“Being part of a Marvel movie makes me feel like I’m doing the most top secret thing in the world. It’s ridiculous because it’s a film, but also it’s too bad when people want to spoil things about movies or paparazzi are on set taking pictures of certain things. And everyone then gets to guess what it is that you’re filming. And it ruins it for everyone. It just so happens that in Avengers [Age of Ultron] we were able to keep a lot of things secret so there were surprises for the audience which is great.”
