The Quantity of Marvel films Makes Each one Less Special, Says Lindelof

According to Lost creator and MCU supporter Damon Lindelof, Marvel should create fewer films.

The Amount Of Marvel Movies Makes Each Less Special, Says Lindelof

The 49-year-old director gave Vulture an interview in which he outlined his reasons for believing that Marvel should produce fewer movies to create a more memorable experience.

He declared, "This is a business. "It's a industry." And if you produce a few excellent Marvel films, the natural reaction is to say, "We need to produce more Marvel films, and we need to grow this." I'm thinking internally, 'Wow, I wish they made less because it would make each one that came out a little bit more special. But I watch all of them… People don't want things to end. I do." It's challenging to make an argument against it, especially in light of what Marvel has produced this year.

With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in November, 2022 has already been the year of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder. If we count TV shows, we've already seen Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel, and this month we still have She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special to look forward to.

Seven MCU projects in one year is a considerable amount. And there are no signs that Marvel will slow down with its future Phase 5 and 6 slate. "It's always going to be hard because once you've got someone's attention, you want to keep it," said Lindelof calling the idea of potentially letting go of something as "antithetical" to the way we're wired.

Lindelof understands the larger picture, of course. But it's difficult not to concur with him.

Lindelof continued, "I don't begrudge them the right to keep it going," added Lindelof. "I've made prequels and sequels and reboots, so I can't be a hypocrite and say, 'God, come up with an original idea.' Meanwhile, I'm making two Star Trek movies and Prometheus."

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
