Marvel’s Surprising Director Choice For Thor: Ragnarok http://news.yahoo.com/marvels-surprising-director-choice-for-thor-222410431.html

It seems ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ has its director - and, true to form, Marvel have not selected an obvious candidate.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Hemsworth will embark on his third solo adventure as the Norse God of Thunder under the direction of Taiki Waititi, New Zealand actor, writer and director behind ‘Eagle Vs Shark’ and ‘What We Do In the Shadows,’ plus several episodes of TV’s ‘Flight of the Conchords’ and ‘The Inbetweeners.’Going from a low budget mockumentary about vampires in contemporary New Zealand to an epic and presumably apocalyptic fantasy superhero movie certainly doesn’t seem the most likely progression. Still, Marvel have quite a track record with taking on directors from low-key indie and comedy backgrounds for their megabudget blockbusters, such as Joe and Anthony Russo (’Captain America: The Winter Solider’ and next year’s ‘Civil War’), James Gunn (’Guardians of the Galaxy’), and most recently Jon Watts (the as-yet untitled ‘Spider-Man’ reboot). Waititi’s hiring is hardly without precedent either, given that his ‘Flight of the Conchords’ cohort James Bobin (subsequently director of the two most recent ‘Muppets’ movies) has gone to direct Disney’s upcoming ‘Alice Through The Looking Glass.’

There are many reasons to be excited about today’s big Marvel Studios announcements. We love the fact that Hope Van Dyne will finally get the chance to get her superhero on in Ant-Man And The Wasp, and it’s great to know that the company has extended their run of three-movies-per-year to 2020. But while there are many properties that got a huge win from today’s news, there are some Marvel fan bases who are probably at least a little upset about the way things have shaken out. Looking at both the direct effects of today’s announcements, as well as considering some other choices that the studio could have made, we’ve collected a list of five different groups of Marvel fans who were probably left a bit bummed by the developments. Read on to find out who.

Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’: Everything We Know (and Don’t Know) http://www.cheatsheet.com/entertain...ing-we-know-and-dont-know.html/?ref=YF&tpl=op

Marvel’s ambitious five-year plan for its Cinematic Universe features just about every significant superhero in existence. Already, we’ve seen Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision, War Machine, Falcon, Ant-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, with plenty more to come down the line. One such hero will be Black Panther, set to get his own titular movie in just a few years. As the chieftain of a fictional African nation, it’ll take the MCU into brand new territory, both ethnically and thematically.We’re still a ways off from the official release, but already rumors are flying. In many ways, Black Panther will be unlike any Marvel movie we’ve ever seen. It’s that much stranger that the project has struggled the way it has to find a writer/director combo. We’ve collected all the relevant info concerning that search, as well as casting, plot, and lots more.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now a behemoth of Hollywood, an empire of comic book profitability and goodness churning out box office hits several times each year.

Nevertheless, we’re going to take a look back at some of the worst films adapted from Marvel properties ever made. Here are six crappy Marvel movies that everyone would rather forget.

Your Guide to the New Heroes of Marvel’s Next Phase of Movies http://www.cheatsheet.com/entertain...vels-next-phase-of-movies.html/?ref=YF&tpl=op

The separate phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been well documented. The first phase saw the introduction of each of the Avengers, culminating in a massive team-up movie that shattered box office records left and right. Phase Two gave us further development of old characters, as well as the surprisingly amazing Guardians of the Galaxy. Finally, it closed out with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, leading us to Phase Three.The third set of Marvel movies will feature a new cast of heroes in their own standalone movies for the first time. These will release alongside sequels for Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor, as well as the two-part Infinity Gauntlet storyline.But who are the new heroes that we’re soon to be introduced to? They haven’t yet found their way into the Avengers movies and largely exist as secondary characters in the comics. But don’t let that underscore their importance to the Marvel Universe: These heroes are the real deal.)
