Topic 1: Kate Mara's comments on Fantastic Four Reboot
"I'v Never been a fan of the comics, I've never actually read one. I was going to for this movie but the director said it wasn't necessary. Well actually he told us that we shouldn't do it because the plot won't be based on any history of anything published. So I chose to follow his instructions. The one fact is I am a fan of comic book movies, so it's very exciting to be a part of movie like this."
Fans hate it her words with a passion Kate Mara has never read a FF comic or any comic book in her lifetime but should we all be really surprised? Majority of actors/actress of today has never look or has not ever been a fan of the comics we see on screen. When a particular actor/actress ever do read a comic its most likely so they can learn and study the character there acting as. Now being a comic fan myself (but not truly never been a FF comic fan personally) I would like for Kate Mara to at least pick up one of the FF comics so she should at least understand the character which she is portraying to be. However, if the movie itself is going to be drastically different than what's the point following the stories that relates to Kate Mara's character Sue Storm. I hope that this movie won't drastically change from the comic, because in the end of the day many FF fans want to see a Fantastic Four movie. If this is not going to be a Fantastic Four than what's the point director Josh Trank calling it "Fantastic Four." If Josh Trank is going for the Dark Knight Trilogy route than I'm all for it. Its obvious that Christopher Nola did use elements from many Batman stories such as The Long Halloween, Batman Year One and the Man Who Laughs for inspiration to make his own vision for his Batman movies. And I hope Josh Trank is doing the same with this Fantastic Four movie as well. He did a good job with Chronicle let's see he can handle this movie also. Many fans may feel isolated hearing the news for this movie but I'm all in board what Josh has in store for us for this brand new FF movie.
Topic 2: Marvel's Diversifying the comics
Times are changing especially what is happening to the new Marvel comics. Thor has been announced that Thor yes the actual female Thor is now confirmed to be a woman. Thor won't be another Valkyrie or just be called "Thor Girl" this will be the new Thor. Many are speculating if this Thor will replace Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel cinematic universe and the word is no. What happens in the comic book universe is separate from what happens in the cinematic universe. Now if someone Chris Hemsworth's Thor decide to quiet than Marvel Studio will green light this female Thor onto the big screen if the female Thor is executed on page. Steve Rogers is also having the same treatment as well. Steve Rogers is handing his shield to the possession same Sam Wilson a.k.a The Falcon. The African American character the Falcon was introduce to the movie going audience as a supporting superhero in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and now it looks like Falcon will becoming a leading avenger as thee Captain America. This is not the first time Captain America allow others to take up his mantle Bucky Barnes and the Patriot have made it reasonable that many can take up the Captain America symbol as Steve Rogers is no longer around. And I think Steve Rogers handing the symbol to Sam Wilson after losing his powers will be reasonable as we known that Sam Wilson is loyal to Steve Rogers throughout the years he known him.
With all these changes happening to Marvel recently I say is understandable that Marvel is trying diversify there comics. Even though the Captain America movies are financially successful the comic sales for Captain America and Thor are dropped unfortunately. Marvel wants to widen the gate away for readers that will attract the attention to minorities and females. This new direction will help establish creative ways to lively up the characters and the story lines that have been somewhat overused and since the 1960s. However, I've notice many people would like to complain "why not make new characters?" Unlikely if they make female, black, Asian, Hispanic characters its most likely hardly no one won't read them and there issues will be overshadow by well known characters such as a Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and the various X-Men titles. The reason a character such as a Miles Morals was received so well and was recognize so well is because Miles Morals wore the shoes of a character who is always very popular among the mainstream hardcore comic book readers and the average comic book reader (Spider-Man). If this action done by Marvel is successful I hope this direction will inspire original diverse characters that will one day become a part of the original Marvel line up.
Topic 3: The Plot of the upcoming Avengers Age of Ultron
The images of Avengers Age of Ultron are in and I must say the costumes may not look all that great but that didn't keep for X-Fans to stop loving Fox's Quicksliver from X-Men Days of Future Past. But other than what Quicksliver and Scarlet Witch appear to look like the plot of the Avengers is really intriguing. It seems that Ultron will become corrupted J.A.R.V.I.S. that will annihilate all of human existence. Ultron realized that the reason there is so much evil in the world is become of "our" existence. It seems that this movie will have a Terminator narrative feel. The Vision played by Paul Bettany will have a big part of the Avengers Sequel as also being the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S who many are speculating can Vision and J.A.R.V.I.S. will be the same person? However, Kevin Feige and Josh Wedon has not say anything on Vision since the characters announcement.
