Jay 37,287 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Quote In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Portman revealed that she’s excited to wield the hammer and she was coaxed into returning by Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, who came to her with the idea for the fourth film with Jane Foster taking on the mantle of Thor. Despite seemingly being finished with the franchise after the fallout from Thor: The Dark World, she found the idea “very exciting,” and noted she also signed on for the opportunity to work with Waititi & Tessa Thompson and reunite with Chris Hemsworth. https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1101465-natalie-portman-excited-to-return-to-the-thor-franchise-in-love-and-thunder IOW, she likes money bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_deleted_ 203 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 So... Disney has been and will be asking contemporary America and the rest of Earth to revisit 60-to-80-year-old comic book characters in poorly conceived "stories" filled with messy CGI and soliloquies worse than "I don't like sand."

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Yeah, the response to Ragnarok was very positive, so Waititi's not gonna tone anything down.

Edmilson 7,392 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Not a fan of Ragnarok too, and I like Waititi - Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a masterpiece. But the third Thor starts well enough, then goes on a super boring and overly long second act on Sakaar, and ends everything with one of the most tedious climaxes on MCU ever. How come a movie featuring Thor and Hulk has some of the most unmemorable action scenes of the franchise? I mean, it's a watchable movie and better than the other two Thor movies (specially the horrid second one), but still very dull for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I am both a fan of Waititi and Led Zeppelin, and I have to admit I didn't like the needle drops in Ragnarok. I also don't think Dark World is as bad as people make it out. It's not great, but I like parts of it. In general, I like the goofy space/mythos side of the MCU much more than the boring Earth based stuff. Except for Doctor Strange which of course is both goofy magic shit *and* Earth based.

Edmilson 7,392 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Apparently, after seeing the huge success of Far From Home (which not only surpassed Skyfall to become Sony's biggest movie ever, but also defeated even Disney's own Captain Marvel worldwide), Disney wanted to co-finance the movie, in exchange for the BO to be split 50/50 among they and Sony. Under the new deal, Disney will get 25% of the profits plus retain merchandising rights for the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Martin Scorsese on Marvel movies: Quote “I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.” Needless to say that Marvel artists and fans are shocked and outraged.
