Ernie weas correct. Ray Stevenson is the actor that closest resembles Reacher. The Rock? Hemsworth? Don't make me laugh!

Except Deadpool 2 was crap because the whole idea was about setting up X-Force and therefore taking the focus off the star. Hamstrung from the beginning with that, it just repeated the original jokes and had about 2 funny lines of it's own.

A buddy movie might work but diluting Deadpool is absolutely not the answer. The comics mostly have him interact with big players over a long period of time, or he's the leader of a bunch of clowns that ISN'T a set-up for something else. Which is something Marvel have been ruining otherwise good movies with - Ragnarok, Black Panther, even just what they've done to Hulk...

Sweet Optimus Prime, there's rumours Henry Cavill is going to be Wolverine. The dude can't act for toffee!

I thought the crappy Snyder films were holding him back. Nope, he's just that dull.

The suggestion is he'll appear in Captain Marvel 2, which would make sense since they haven't a clue what they're doing with her character and she'll need the help.

I thought he was restricted as Superman too. There was no "heart". With Reeve, you really warmed to him. I didn't feel like that with Cavill. He was much better in Man from UNCLE. Certainly I could see him playing James Bond and he'd be better than Daniel Craig whom I've never liked as Bond.

Has anyone watched The Witcher? Supposedly, he's quite good in that.

Seen everything he's done really bar Uncle (bought it because people said he was good in it, just haven't got seeing it) and Witcher, he's bland as recently as MI Whatever in my terms. I just can't see him as Wolverine unless he's catatonic.

Craig might have been ok if they'd been decent films and not grimdark bollocks.

No, Tom Holland probably isn't starring in a Back to the Future remake
https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/no-tom-ho ... re-remake/

NOBODY should be starring in a BTTF remake.

There's also this from 2015, which makes me wonder just what Hollywood has in mind!

Quote:
Robert Zemeckis, who directed the film and its two sequels, has vowed that Back to the Future will never be remade in his lifetime – and hopes that his estate will figure out a way to continue blocking remakes after his death.

“Oh, God no,” the 63-year-old director told the Telegraph, when asked if – as one of the two rights holders to the original film, along with co-writer Bob Gale – he would ever consider signing off on a remake.

“That can’t happen until both Bob and I are dead. And then I’m sure they’ll do it, unless there’s a way our estates can stop it.

“I mean, to me, that’s outrageous. Especially since it’s a good movie. It’s like saying ‘Let’s remake Citizen Kane. Who are we going to get to play Kane?’ What folly, what insanity is that? Why would anyone do that?”

Contains spoilers for Terminator Dark Fate...
https://screenrant.com/terminator-franc ... ements/10/

I agree with all of that. I've long said it's time to drop Arnie, he immediately stunts the plot potential by being a T-800 and therefore limiting the timeframe. Plus DF was really his last shot anyway.

Make it horror. The evil-looking machine inside and out was why it became iconic to start with. And a T-1000 can't be topped, anything else doesn't and hasn't made sense, so that's your limit... Two 'T-900' mechanical types fighting it out is more of an option than some nonsensical CGI effect we've already had in 3 and Dark Fate. And a reboot can rewrite the models anyway, plus it enables different actors. The simplest thing is to suggest Skynet happens in a time of cloning, we're almost there FFS.

On Skynet, I would suggest John comes through time to change the past himself, and/or he's a central character in what you show of the future for sequel groundwork. When you show his inevitable team depends on how personal the first movie is. I would personally go with one Terminator whatever the scenario.

Simply have every Terminator be a different actor for sequels. There's no limiting of anything there, it gives you a soft reboot option every time with all the pluses and none of the minuses. The only constant is John and/or his team. That way you can adjust timeframes, events, and geeky details as needs be.

Keep the military out of it until way down the line. Use cops and ordinary people where need be. That'll be useful in what you show future-wise too. Speaking of the future, limit Skynet to it's early days where it's still relying on mechanics and AI, you shouldn't see a T-1000 type until the series is on it's way out.

The main thing, heh, is not to be a slave to the past. Use the basics of John, John's team, Sarah down the line, Skynet, and the chrome skeleton. Anything much more than that is for the finale.

Seen so much around these already I darent watch them, but WW looks class. Sadly the director is almost certainly quitting because WB's corporate overlords are leaning towards resurrecting Snyder and the shared universe. Think the intention is to use The Flash's alt reality shenanigans to give you all the Batmen, resurrect Cavill and make sense of the Snyder sh!tshow.

It's the worst idea when The Joker, WW, Aquaman, and Shazam were all hits precisely because they were standalone in the main. It was an actual contract point for Patty Jenkins the WW director. Plus you've upcoming Batman!

I’m quite happy with the standalone films. I think they do well in their own little worlds. I’m on the fence about the snydercut- apparently whedon rewrote 75-80% of the original story when Snyder left because of his daughter. I was not a fan of Whedon’s Justice League. Snyder’s might be better but it’s so late in the game that it won’t fit it. I read the Batman reboot was because Affleck left for whatever reasons - he was due to direct and star in a Batman film - so it ended up as a reboot of sorts, separate from the DCEU.

This actually works for me.
Why shouldn't DC make use of the multiverse theory that has so long been a staple of the comics for film and TV? Hell, TV is already doing it and that has proved to be a huge success for them, so why not try and replicate that in the films?
There's nothing wrong, in my opinion, with having multiple Batman films on the go, utilising different versions of the character.
And any chance of giving Henry Cavill another chance to play Superman in a better film is fine by me.
Just because there have been a number of good DC standalone films, doesn't mean there isn't room for other ideas and concepts to join the party.

No problem with the concept, it's just I doubt WB are capable of making it work.

Did you know Cavill is supposedly only still around because he's repped, alongside Dwayne 'Black Adam' Johnson, by Johnson's ex wife? Allegedly WB wanted Snyder and anything directly associated with him (hello Affleck) buried because new overlords AT&T were going to be looking results sharpish and WB signed off on Snyder for years even after MoS 'flopped'. The entire shakeup of DC, comics, games and everything is AT&T looking to recoup their investment. Supposedly.

It was they who pushed for the Justice League cut appearing as they wanted a Mandalorian style hit for HBO Max, but it creates nothing but headaches for WB/DC long-term. The perception, probably rightly, is WW, Aquaman, Joker, and Shazam weren't so tainted or hampered by Snyder.

For me personally, I enjoyed most of those movies more than your average Disney Marvel movie recently. Same with Sony's Far From Home, Spiderverse and Venom. World building needs to be subtle and/or incredibly well thought through IMO.

Basically multiverse here is a BS term that's so vague it can mean anything and nothing at all. And I still fully expect them to f**k up the works.
