Peyton Reed Had Mixed Feelings on Civil War

Peyton Reed Had Mixed Feelings on Civil War

For Civil War, it was a chance to bring together as many heroes as they could, that have already been made with an exception or two, to have some really epic battles. However, this came at a cost. For some, including myself, the inclusion of Ant-Man was fun, but rather one-sided. His whole purpose it seemed was to be in the airport battle and become Giant-Man. That was it. Ant-Man Director Peyton Reed noted to Moviefone that he had similar thoughts about it when he found out, as well as noting he’s glad that he himself is handling the introduction of Wasp: “Again, that is one of the sort of things where it’s a mixed bag. When I first found out — gosh, I don’t know, two years ago, a year-and-a-half ago — that “Civil War” was going to get the Giant-Man premiere, I was like “No!” But, now, I’ve since recovered, and we have a lot more in store for Scott Lang in this movie. We get to see

Why No Heroes Died in Civil War

Why No Heroes Died in Civil War

One of the things that made Civil War so memorable in the comics was that death was evident throughout the story. It was the death of civilians (caused unintentionally by heroes) that started the Superhero Registration Act. Then, it was the death of the hero Goliath (by a clone of Thor) that proved that one side had gone too far. Finally, Captain America himself was assassinated in the story, Fallen Son, which followed the end of Civil War and after he turned himself in to face justice. In the movie Captain America: Civil War, that didn’t happen. In fact, the only key death was the death of King T’Chaka, which obviously pushed T’Challa into being Black Panther and going after Bucky/Winter Soldier. So why didn’t they kill any Avengers? Well, Marvel Studios Boss Kevin Feige and director Anthony Russo did a Q&A (via IGN) for the movie, as it just came out on Blu-ray and DVD, and noted their thought process: “We actually talked about lots of potential characters dying,

Russo Brothers Say Civil War Isn’t Over Yet

Civil War was one of the biggest movies in Marvel movie history, and yet, according to the directors of the film, the movie wasn’t meant to be self contained like many think. “We always thought of this move as the start of the war. It’s not over yet.” said the Russo brothers in an online Q&A. Considering the ending of the film, this isn’t too far fetched, as both sides were still dealing with the fallout of the events of the film. Later on, the Russos were asked about how they’re feeling about Infinity War, which is set to be even bigger than Civil War. Joe continued, saying: “There could be a lot of pressure. We put pressure on ourselves, we feel the pressure. At the same time we have to be very zen and we have to step outside of that pressure because if you make decisions based on expectations and based on feeling that pressure, you’re going to make bad decisions.” He added: “Ultimately, at the end of the

Captain America Is “No More” Says Russo Brothers

At the end of the Civil War movie, Iron Man demanded that Captain America, Steve Rogers, leave his iconic shield behind because it “didn’t belong to him”. And, he did. Also at the end of the film, he let Tony Stark know that when he needed him and his other Avengers, who he rescued, they’d be there. But what does this mean? Well, according to the directors of Civil War and the upcoming Infinity War, the Russo Brothers, it means that Captain America is no more…for the time being. They told the Huffington Post: “I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity,” said Joe. “[It’s] him admitting that certainly the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.” What this means going forward, especially for Infinity War, is that Steve won’t be in Captain America gear, but he still will have some distinct patriotic clothing: “It’s always about who Steve Rogers is. He’s kind of an iconic

Russo Brothers Considered Red Hulk For Civil War

Russo Brothers Considered Red Hulk For Civil War

Part of the appeal of Captain America: Civil War, for both the comic and the movie is the thought and idea of having numerous heroes together in one place duking it out. For the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this had to be a little more focused, but as the Russo Brothers revealed to ComicBook.Com, there were always a lot of heroes they wanted to bring in. They wanted Spider-Man from the beginning, and they got him, they wanted Wasp too, but they decided to hold back on her. Another they wanted at first, but then decided against, was Red Hulk, AKA the returning Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. “We had so many characters in that movie as it was,” Joe Russo tells ComicBook.com. “We consider everything, obviously, but with so many characters in that movie as it was to try and entertain adding another character and to get to the Red Hulk, you have to add a back story. You have to substantiate the narrative to get to that. [Thaddeus Ross], on our

Cut Scene From Civil War Teased Comic Story?

Captain America: Civil War was already a pretty packed film. Not only did it bring back many of the Avengers and the Winter Soldier, but it introduced new characters like Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Zemo. As such, with all of these characters running and flying around, there were a lot of references, in-jokes, and more. In an interview with the Russo brothers, who directed the film, IGN found out there were actually more references cut from the film, including one very dear to the Russo’s hearts: “There is a scene that is a cut scene. It’s a small piece of the fight at Leipzig where there’s a very fun interaction between Cap and Bucky, and it kind of hints at a favorite storyline in the books,” Anthony Russo said. “I won’t go into the detail about it, but there’s a little tease in that scene that is pretty fun.” “It’s a comic book story, and I can’t say whether or not it’s going to factor in to the movies,” Anthony

Though Civil War has long since arrived and been “settled” in theaters, many are still wondering about who would side with who in regards to missing Avengers team members Thor and Hulk, who are going to be starring in Thor: Ragnarok next year. Taika Waititi made his thoughts known, started with Thor: “We’ve talked a little bit about this. Personally, I feel Thor would have started his own team. He wouldn’t have liked the idea of those teams.” The director then continued to Fandango, saying, “But, even though Thor is from outer space and he lives in a palace, part of me likes to think he would side with Cap.” Then he talked about himself: “I would side with Cap purely because I don’t trust billionaires.” At a Comic-Con earlier this year, Tom Hiddleston weighed in on the issue, stating Thor would, “be like, ‘Sort it out, idiots. This is silly.’ I don’t know. I’m not sure how that story’s going to go when Thor comes back. But I think

I find myself struggling to classify what Captain America: Civil War is. It’s a great movie, with some of the best action scenes I’ve ever seen. It also has several powerful character arcs, some that even steal the show away from it’s “main” stars. However, under all of that is a story that while powerful in nature, kind of fizzles out in its execution. Now, if there is anyone here who didn’t read my Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice review, I would encourage you to read the first few paragraphs where I outline how I am a Marvel and DC Comics fan, and that I value character stories and impact more than flash and action. It is because of this that I note what I do, and score this film as I do. So, let’s begin. WARNING: Major Spoilers Below! At its core, Captain America: Civil War is about responsibility. Both to our friends, and to those we claim to want to protect. After an incident involving the Avengers

As a meme so eloquently states, “One does not simply leave a Marvel film before the credits are over”. And in Captain America: Civil War, there were two scenes that came once the credits rolled. WARNING: Spoilers ahead! At the end of the film, we got a tease of Wakanda, as Black Panther did a huge favor for Captain America. Then, we got one last look at Spider-Man as he got some new tech via Tony Stark. Now while one is clearly heading towards the path of the Black Panther movie, the other felt a little more isolated. The directors of Civil War explained why they did this approach to ComicBook.com: “That’s the one thing that I’ve always really respected at Marvel,” Anthony Russo tells ComicBook.com of post credits scenes. “They don’t get you hung up on the future. Every movie has to be what it wants to be and if you don’t get that right there is no future. The cool thing about it is there’s a lot of

Microsoft Creates Limited Edition Iron Man Console

Microsoft Creates Limited Edition Iron Man Console

To celebrate and promote Captain America: Civil War, Microsoft has teamed up with Marvel to produce a limited edition Xbox One console. It is colored much like the ordinary yet rare white version of the device but features Stark Industries branding on the casing and controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcjihLl8VTU According to Microsoft, this has been specifically designed to fit in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Iron Man himself may have even had a hand in its creation. Alongside the Stark Industries logo, it also features some styling and an arc reactor in the middle of the casing. The controller also has a similar design with a smaller arc reactor image fused with the power button. It doesn’t look like the consoles will be going on sale though. Instead, Microsoft seems to be giving them away in competitions, with Xbox France already holding a competition on Twitter offering up three of them as prizes.  So keep an eye out in your region to see if you are lucky enough to get your

Civil War Writers Acknowledge Differences In Stories

Civil War was, at the time, a revolutionary idea in the comics. Having basically all the superheroes in the universe pick a side over a highly controversial issue, then fight it out to try and make the other side come to theirs. With it’s movie adaptation, it’s a clearly different animal. As the MCU only has a fraction of the characters that were in the comics story, among other things. This has not gone unnoticed by both the fans, and the writers. Who told ComicBook.Com they knew that there would be major differences. “We did the same thing with Winter Soldier,” Stephen McFeely says. “If you went into Winter Soldier thinking you were getting an exact Brubaker, Red Skull, cosmic cube, and then the Russian’s head, you weren’t gonna get that but you were gonna get a lot of the character stuff out of it. Same thing here. We have to honor the thirteen movies and in that universe we’re not necessarily honoring the 200 characters on the splash page

Russo Brothers Confirms Wasp Was Almost In Civil War

Russo Brothers Confirms Wasp Was Almost In Civil War

One of the big reasons Civil War worked in the comics was that almost every superhero (and certain villains) had to choose a side to fight on in the event. With Captain America: Civil War, the scale is toned down a lot, but there are still a lot of heroes fighting. In fact, there was going to be one more addition in the form of Evangiline Lilly as The Wasp, making her superhero debut as the Russo Brothers reveal to Collider: “You know, almost everybody made it in,” said Markus. “There was a period where we talked about bringing Wasp in. There was actually a draft Wasp was in because she was so almost on the edge of being in ‘Ant-Man,’ but then you’re taking something awesome out of the ‘Ant-Man’ team’s quiver if it’s like, ‘Well, we’re doing her!’ Plus she had a similar skill set, so it’s like ‘Well, maybe we just isolate it to Scott.’” “When you see the movie, you see that Scott is his own
