Marvel Cinematic Universe

I just love that last scene with Thomas the Tank Engine. It's pretty easy to tell that a lot of Edgar Wright's influence is still in this film, and while it's a shame that he is gone from the project, I think it will still be a good film.

Big fan of Corey Stolls from House of Cards. Paul Rudd will need to win me over as an action super hero. He's been so typecast these past few years as a kinda goof ball.

Edgar Wright had envisioned this movie as more of a goofball comedy-heist with action moments so I think the casting works. From what I've heard the split came because his idea was far more removed from the MCU than the producers wanted it to be, and considering the split happened just before the movie went into production I doubt there was much time to completely change what was originally intended. I think Paul Rudd will be more like an Indiana Jones, getting by largely on dumb luck augmented by skill.

It's a shame Edgar wright left the proyect but im on board with Paul Rudd. If the film indeed was intended as a goofball comedy action flick he's a good choice that trailer however had no indication its gonna be that type of film.

The effects look a little silly so i hope the film is equally as silly or else it's just gonna be another average super hero film.

I always figured an Ant-Man movie was proof that Marvel was scraping the bottom of the barrel for superheroes, but it never occurred to me the possibility of unique, sci-fi awesomeness. Officially stoked. Now I'm curious whether, considering that she's been so associated with the Avengers for so long rather than the X-Men, whether Scarlet Witch may or may not be completely off the table. Marvel and Sony seem to be on speaking terms, so who says Marvel and Fox can't kiss and make up a little bit by the time a third Avengers movie comes around?

And I'm up to episode 11 of Daredevil. Amazing. Doesn't have the same scope as Arrow, but I don't have to make allowances for CW'ness, and it only took half a season for the "Crazy ****-O-Meter" to reach season finale proportions. Haven't even finished it and I'm already praying to Thor for a season 2.

Understandable. Marvel's trailers are usually pretty poor anyway.
