        These casting summaries lack real details. Gooseman has been actively working with Marvel for almost a decade now. Goose wants to be in capeshit. The thing is, they can never agree on a project that's right for him.

        So they kept kicking the can down the street. And now I think all actors are weary of capeshit roles. Another thing I read, is that at one point, Marvel was just like "frick it" and straight up asked him what character he wanted to play and they'd make the damn film. Goose said, "Ghost Rider". And they're like, "yeah, we're not gonna do that." KWAB

            I mean hell, "The Fall Guy" is just a step away from capeshit. I think the problem is that Marvel sees Ghost Rider as a C-Tier character. If they're gonna get Goose on board, they want him to be a bigger name.

            He should be cast as a multiverse variant of iron man

            See, that's pretty viable. Secret Wars is gonna be two films shot back to back. Nice little quick paycheck for Goose.

              But if that's the character he wants to play, he has the potential to make a c-tier character A like RDJ did with Ironman. The goose has the acting chops to do it. Just needs to be written well. Which, at this point, is low probability it would be. But it could help steer the ship in the right direction if they get a good writer/director

                I agree with what you're saying. But at the same time, I can't see normies accepting Ghost Rider in the same tier as Captain America or Iron Man. Hell, even Doctor Strange has a tenuous grasp on the fandom.

                Ghost Rider is a non-starter.

            Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts are both in development hell so I wouldn't have much faith in any of that other stuff when these are meant to be their next big hitter "new status quo" films. Captain America had an Israeli superhero (Sabra) who they cut as well as a kinda-Trump analogue in Thunderbolt Ross (Red Hulk now played by Harrison Ford) which they've apparently changed.. Thunderbolts has had so many actors dropped out and concepts change too who knows where it'll end up.

            It is amazing how much Marvel has dropped the ball. Also: even if you *like* a character, their sequel movie will take YEARS to come out, when the character is far less relevant and probably won't have anything to do with the previous one.

                People disagree with me on this a lot but I think the "gimmick" of shared universe/team-up sustained the MCU far more than anything else. Stinkers like Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World especially didn't tarnish the brand because there was still the hope for more. And that crescendoed and now, who cares? It has gone off in too many directions. Phase 1-3, the WHOLE Infinity War arc from Iron Man to Endgame has LESS screentime than Phase 4 (2021-22).

                Her role was massively reduced and now she's more or less an intelligence aset that helps, rather than being a full superhero. Hence, her role was cut.

                Marvel don't give directors free reign. They often hire lesser known directors (plenty of exceptions noted) because these people are hungrier but also because this is a showrunner/producer model. The Marvels director outright talked about how she didn't direct like half the scenes because all the CGI and action scenes are done by other people. It isn't so much "free reign" but, they stretch themselves out so much not understanding what the left hand is doing compared to the right. Not justifying it, but Disney+ pressures was what really fricked them up. Too many shows. TFATWS plot was changed because of COVID then Wandavision was rushed more and the show writers and Dr Strange writers didn't really create a coherent story between them.

                She outright said it isn't my movie but a Feige/Marvel movie. I think this is a general shift in TV and movies. TVs went from writers at their core to showrunners and movies went to producer-led models. All this shit because they don't want creative people anywhere near this stuff because those people cost too much money. Yet when Multiverse of Madness came out their marketing was fricking lying about it being a "a true-Raimi film and a horror" when it clearly wasn't. They literally lie about their films being more creative than they are.

                Yes I agree. I think that's what Dennis Villanueva was referring to when he said he hated dialogue.He doesn't hate dialogue but rather a type of television dialogue written for movies.Marvel was designed by TV people like Joss Whedon and James Gunn (I'm not sure if Gunn has worked on TV but his style makes me think of that)They are show runners who make the leap to the big screen and we have their consequences.Even now they brought that woman from the show the bear to write the fantastic four movie.It's strange why years ago it was unthinkable for TV writers to make films unless they were very good and even worse high-budget films.Those in charge of Hollywood scripts were generally career novelists and playwrights.

                I remember listening to Rod Serling talk about some Twilight Zone writers in such majestic fashion, that they were playwrights, true journeymen writers who enjoyed their craft.

                I remember a few years ago reading about this superhero TV show called Arrow which ran for like ten seasons. It started out like Gossip Girl meets superhero, then the second season was a bit better and then boom, third season went to shit. Romance fan fic tumblr style plotlines. I read from a showrunner that they literally got interns to write some episodes. Interns.

                Much has been made about the recent strikes with AI at the forefront. But the 2007-08 strike really was a point at which they decided they wanted to go cheap when it came to a lot of this stuff. Marvel has a history of bringing in lesser known, sometimes indie directors. Like a director will do two projects then boom get a Marvel one.

                Yes, the first seasons of arrow are very good. The third season focuses on Desdstrock, it seems to me, and the fourth on Ras al Gul.I've never seen Gossip Girl but I think Arrow is more inspired by Nolan's Batman.

                I watched along with the threads back in the day. Season 1 was enjoyable somewhat but flawed. It did focus a bit too much on the drama. Season 2 added the superheroics and was more fun. The problem with trying to be darker in season 1 was it conflicted majorly with what the soap opera storyline was doing. Where as season 2 didn't have that problem. Season 3 really went to shit. Occasionally it was alright and watchable in later seasons.

                You're conflating two points. I never said season 1 wasn't "planned". I did say that soap opera drama was a major part of it which weakened it. The season 3+ drama was even worse because by that point it wasn't soap opera but it was fanfic tumblr style drama.

                They pushed back the release dates of everything over a year and you're acting like nothing happened. Why did they change the dates then? Answer that.
                >They've recast two characters, one of which is literally a tertiary comic relief,
                The scheduling conflicts arose from pushing back the movie due to Marvel changing its plans and changing the plot because of its recent troubles.
                >and the plot hasn't changed since this entered production.
                Yeah no shit, what a dumb statement. The myriad of changes happened before, hence why Marvel changed the scheduling.
                >No, it wasn't, and she was always a CIA agent in the script, not a full superhero.
                Originally she had a bigger role that was changed and she wasn't a CIA agent.
                >He is already President when the movie begins
                And he sort to gain more power via his plot.

                Yes she was, later in the film, but earlier on she was a CIA liason. Which is what you're getting confused about. LIASON, find the definition.
                >Plot issues. But nothing to do with Sabra being a full-blown superhero or Red Hulk being Donald Trump.
                Which plot issues then? Since you refuse to elaborate. Sabra was originally part of a new Avengers team and Red Hulk did have allusions to Trump.

                What was reported was the plot was simply a boring, investigation-heavy thriller who landed flat because the twist was "the Leader did it" and everyone already knows he's the villain.

                But I will admit I'm wrong if you present these leaked script notes. I will apologize and everything. Prove me wrong, I'm waiting.

                Marvel are spending 100 mil+ on reshoots and doing 60-90 days of reshooting, enough to re-film the whole movie. The plot problems must be far worse than your speculating.

                Cpatain America was literally scheduled to come out this year May 3, 2024, then changed to July 26, 2024 and then finally to February 14, 2025. Thunderbolts was scheduled for July 26, 2024 and then changed to May 2, 2025.

                There is only ONE big MCU film out this year, Deadpool 3. Because Marvel had a panic over their schedule and recent problems and BOTH films have been radically changed.

                Do you think they massively shift around release dates like that for nothing? You're Google search away from seeing the problems that have occured.

Tom Holland not desperately wants to be relevant and most of his non-Spider-Man career has been received poorly. While Timothée is doing better.

              Sure there are exceptions to any rules, part of that also depends on the actor and which character they are playing. Hugh Jackman got to be a badass. Tom Holland though has been struggling with his non-MCU roles.

                Tom Holland is cursed with looking like a teenage boy. I watched him in Devil All the Time and while his performance was solid, I just couldn't buy him as the big, stoic-but-kind older brother he was portraying. if he could actually grow a beard that might help, but what makes him absolutely perfect for a young Spider-Man is unfortunately what will hold him back in the rest of his career.

      That was a close call too. Apple had exclusivity and wouldn't let her do the show (wasn't a scheduling issue). But due to COVID or some kind of production issue, they hadn't used Hailee for an X amount of weeks and that was a loophole in her contract that allowed her to do other projects on top of Dickenson.
