SDCC: Brief Marvel Movie News

[Operation:Mego]

That would be great, but if he's in it, Haley Atwill better be! C'mon, who was more important to "First Avenger"?

Chris

I miss Haley. I thought she gave a great performance. If he can ever do any kind of travel back in time using the cosmic cube, then she better be his first stop.

Stanley Tucci, who played Dr. Abraham Erskine in the previous film, said that Atwell will reappear in a flashback scene. It is unknown if she will appear in modern times as well.

I guess you haven't seen the trailers then.

How can I miss them, you post them everywhere. I'm just tired of the Armor being everywhere in the movies. A big armor fight between IM and others seems like a rereretread to me.

I don't really post everywhere, just under the Iron Man 3 thread. And I haven't actually posted any of the trailers, just my reaction to them, and tons of pictures. But since the thread says "Iron Man 3 pictures," you should know that. And funny you should say that, since Black described his take on the film as not being "two men in iron suits fighting each other", and more like a "Tom Clancy thriller", with Iron Man fighting real world type villains. Besides, the trailers haven't shown The Mandarin wearing armor, or anything like that, so what's there to worry about?

just the army or Iron Men and the idiocy that is Iron Patriot or whatever you call him kind of gives me the deja vu feeling. I really don't want to see Pepper Potts armored up either. I'm more interested in the Cap sequel and it being referred to as a 70's action film masquerading as a superhero movie.

I personally had to change my pants when I saw the Iron Legion, but to each his own. And I agree with you, that Cap is being one of the sequels I'm looking forward to the most, but this year it's Iron Man 3 all the way!

[Operation:Mego]

Which outfit would you prefer for Falon to wear:

Classic White-and-Red:



Or Ultimate's Black-Ops:

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

Red and white. The other looks like "generic action guy with wings." Or Superman.

Don C.

[Operation:Mego]

I would like a combination of the two: maybe take the black-op accessories, put them on a black S.H.I.E.L.D. outfit, and add the red shoulder/wing stripes for some color.

[Operation:Mego]

About the role, Mackie said "I'm playing the Falcon. He's this guy in Harlem who moved to California and became a drug dealer. His plane crashed, and he was genetically altered, and he can fly, has telepathic powers. He's the first African-American superhero. It makes me feel all the work I've done has been paying off. I have a son, nephews and nieces, and I love the idea that they can dress up as the Falcon on Halloween. They now have someone they can idolize. That's a huge honor for me." Mackie stated that Marvel did not let him read a script before signing on, and that he would spend five months doing two-a-day workouts and eating an 11,000 calorie per day diet to get into shape for the role.

Gee, I wonder who she could be playing?

So pleased to read the Falcon actor's quote there.

I love the possibilities of the interracial all-American version of the Dynamic Duo. Yeah, I kmow the twosome are not the sequel's main focus, but, like the actor seems to be saying, its just good to see him there. On that note, I don't know much about Bucky, and his relationship to Falcon, but I imagine there's conflict... either funny... or tragic (?)

Why does Falcon need to be a reformed drug dealer? Heroes can't just be heroes any more. But, hey, I'm glad he's making it to the big screen.

If I was writing it, I would've considered making him a reformed serial killer if I could swing it. "Conflict via contrast" is a defining piece of any great on-screen duo. ----And look who he's partnered up with in this particular duo.

Wasn't he a drug dealing pimp in the (original) comic?
