Dr Strange movie will be announced shortly and this guy will be the director. Done Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and the recent The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Bleeding Cool has just stated they are looking at Jared Leto for the main character... honestly that is so typically Marvel 'out-of-the-box-but-works-on-every-level" casting.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Heelsy. Jared Leto is good casting, he's kind weird, beautiful looking (bastard!) and indy but could be mainstream.

And Derrickson is a decent director. The only duffer is The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Beav · « **Reply #444 on:** June 4, 2014, 10:28:16 am »

Yeah, I'm so on board this. Doctor Strange is one of my favourite characters, and Marvel have banked more than enough good faith with me to back any director they choose. Fuck, they could give Micheal Bay a job directing an all female superhero team and I'd believe Marvel would do it right.

Marvel have a vision, so far it's been magnificent, I don't see any reason for that to stop. Jared Leto would be fantastic too, another left field casting that would probably be perfect.

Frankly, the fact we're getting a fucking Doctor Strange film makes me giddy.

tubby · « **Reply #445 on:** June 4, 2014, 01:14:23 pm »

First thought that popped into my head with Jared Leto playing Strange would be that he's too short.

OsirisMVZ · « **Reply #446 on:** June 4, 2014, 01:15:30 pm »

Then they'll just put him in heels on set like they do with RDJ

FIVE FOOT 9?! HES SHORTER THAN ME?!

Tom Cruise is a short arse, I think they stand him on a box when needed. I don't think it will be a problem.

Beav · « **Reply #449 on:** June 7, 2014, 07:30:12 pm »

Marvel have found their new Ant-Man director, and its, erm Peyton Reed. He's done The Break Up, Yes Man, and some other shit I can't remember.

Adam McKay is on board too, so that's a positive with his comedy work on The Other Guys, Anchorman and Step Brothers.

Still, Reed is basically "a director". He's not really done anything interesting or different, he's just one of those directors who's just there. But I guess that's all Marvel could do at such short notice. I'd still have liked Joe Cornish to have directed, but eh.

Sadly, all the positivity has been drained from this now, and people will see it as a "what could've been" film, which is sad. It no longer feels like a fresh, interesting new take on the Marvel Universe, it just feels like another film.

lionel_messias · « **Reply #450 on:** June 9, 2014, 03:07:23 pm »

First proper fuck up by Marvel but as someone pointed out both Thor and Captain A had LESS interesting, more corporate sequels.

wampa1 · « **Reply #451 on:** June 9, 2014, 03:17:40 pm »

Peyton Reed is decent. Bring it On was a brilliant film, even outside of the cheerleaders in short skirts factor.

He was originally going to do a 60's themed Fantastic Four film similar in tone to Down With Love but that got canned in favour of the shitty Tim Story efforts.

He's a massive comic book nerd too so knows his stuff. I actually like this choice.

I meant it being from the director of those films.

That last line about sucking the joy out of everything is so apt when aimed at a certain studio.

read elsewhere that Nathan Fillion is going to play Nova!
odd choice as Richard Rider (Nova) is a teenager?

Well it seems like there's a sort of viral marketing going on with each trailer they put out, a kind of a fourth wall breaking one liners like, "this might not be the best idea" *wink* or "what a bunch of a-holes" and now this one that starts with "From the studio that brought you..." and ends with "you just suck the joy out of everything".

So maybe I am just assuming that this one is aimed at Warner Brothers Production for sucking the fun and life out of the movies they put out.

That's Joss Whedon getting more and more freedom because this is a director doing his mate a favour kind of casting.

I'm not saying Nathan Fillion is a bad actor. I love Firefly and damn FOX for destroying it.

But if Joss hadn't done will with Avengers Marvel wouldn't touch him

Think its a Nova, rather than THE Nova. James Gunn just confirmed he is in it as a cameo.

OsirisMVZ · « **Reply #470 on:** June 22, 2014, 03:30:16 am »

For me, the new Sam Alexander character works perfectly for a Nova film. The stories so far are basically Spiderman-in-space, as a young teenager who patrols the cosmos by day and has to be home for chores and homework by night. His dad, a middle-aged drunkard who works as the school janitor, rambles about his past era when he fought in intergalactic wars with the Black Nova Corps, but his son never believes him. He goes missing one day, Sam finds the Nova helmet which grants him the powers of space travel etc, and he realises his dad was right all along and now he has to find him as he teams up with Thor and the rest of the Avengers.

Yadda yadda yadda, its Disney 101 but for young boys. Bound to make money if they go with it, and as I've said before somewhere, there's already a strong supporting Nova corps cast established in Guardians.

There was talk that that is who the kid from Iron Man 3 was, the actor that played him said as much in an interview, although imagine it may be wishful thinking!
