Chadwick Boseman Says Black Panther Is A Detective & More For Captain America: Civil War

Chadwick Boseman offers up details about Black Pather in Captain America: Civil War as the actor spoke with Total Film magazine.

Describing Black Panther:

He has the dual activity of being a monarch of a country, and he’s literally a detective. I think he’s a misunderstood character because he makes decisions sometimes without consulting other people [laughs], without working as a team. It’s very hard to predict why he does what he does.

How much do we see Black Panther in Civil War:

I don’t feel like you’ll have a deep sense of the character because it’s a brief introduction. It leaves a lot to be explored. You want the character to have an arc, but I think there’s a lot you don’t know about him at the end of the movie.

How Black Panther is introduced in Civil War:

He is brought into the story because there are Wakandans who are the victims of the tragedy that happens because of the superheroes. So he’s brought in really as a political [figure], and he’s useful. It’s not really as a superhero. He fits that whole theme of the movie.

The Wakandans know who he is. It’s like his, purpose is to protect his country. It’s not necessarily to protect everyone [laughs]. He’s not that type of superhero. He has a singular purpose in that respect when he’s coming into this movie.

Chadwick Boseman will also be starring in the upcoming Black Panther standalone movie that has a February 16, 2018 release.

Black Panther vs. Captain America spot:

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Batman Vs. Superman Approaching $800 Million

Update: Batman vs. Superman has now passed $800 million.

 

While Batman Vs. Superman has been taking some heat (at least rumored) regarding its box office returns, the movie is now getting close to making $800 million worldwide.

Batman Vs. Superman currently has a $783,485,542 worldwide gross: $296,685,54 in the U.S., with $486,800,000 internationally.

Following a slow week that saw Batman Vs. Superman actually perform less than Man of Steel and Ant-Man, this weekend saw things pick up a bit as Batman Vs. Superman netted around $23.3 million domestically. 

It’s estimated that Batman Vs. Superman may come in at #2 this weekend, falling to Melissa McCarthy’s The Boss, but the difference is marginal at best, possibly as little as $45,000. Full numbers will be known Monday.

Regarding why Batman Vs. Superman has been taking heat, while $800 million may sound like a large number, when Batman vs. Superman‘s total budget is accounted for, it’s rather low.

It’s probably a safe bet to state WB expected Batman Vs. Superman to hit a billion – especially with adding Batman into the movie – as Nolan’s two previous Batman movies scored over a billion. If anything, it goes to show a good story and writing goes along way rather than simply adding in something people consider “cool.”

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is directed by Zack Snyder release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. 

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Ben Affleck Batman Is Different Than Christian Bale Dark Knight

This is pretty much a given, but I suppose if anyone out there actually thought the new Justice League movie universe was a continuation of the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Batman universe, producer Charles Roven clears things up.

Coming Soon suggested to Roven that it could be looked at that the older Ben Affleck Batman in Batman Vs. Superman is actually the same Batman as Christian Bale, but set further into the future.

Charles Roven shot down that theory noting super humans don’t exist within the world of Nolan’s Batman, but do within the new Justice League universe:

Do you think so? We really wanted to make a clear demarcation line. Chris [Nolan], Emma [Thomas] and I would talk about how, in his “Dark Knight” trilogy universe, there are no superheroes. Batman is not a superhero. He doesn’t have super powers. Chris would always say, “His super power is that he’s a billionaire. He’s got all this money.” I viewed it that Bruce Wayne was a man who took his human abilities, whether they were physical or mental, and pushed them to the absolute peak of the human condition. But he still wasn’t a superhero. Then the villains, whether it was Ra’s al Ghul or the Joker or Bane, they were also all human. They might be aberrant, messed up and diabolical, but they were human beings. When we started doing “Man of Steel,” Chris and Emma were producers on that one as well. They knew that they were opening up a whole different universe. Even though the fans sometimes talked about, “Maybe Joe [Gordon-Levitt] is going to be the Batman in ‘Batman versus Superman,’” we knew that was never going to be the case because it is a different universe. In the universe we created with “Man of Steel,” there are superheroes. There are aliens. There are metahumans. The character of Batman isn’t Christian Bale ten years later. He’s different. He’s come up a different way. His parents, even though they died outside a movie theater, didn’t die outside an Opera theater. We thought about those things. I was involved with both movies and “Dark Knight Rises” was three or four years from the time I started working on “Batman v Superman.” It made me feel better that I could go, “That was that and this is this.” It’s just going to a different place with the material and expanding it out.

Regarding Ben Affleck, he’s writing a new Batman standalone movie script with Geoff Johns, and Affleck is due to start filming Justice League this week.

Ezra Miller & Grant Gustin Flash Have Nothing To Do With Each Other

For fans hoping one day the DC movie universe would cross over with the DC TV Universe — keep dreaming.

Gran Gustin is uber-popular right now starring on The CW’s Flash TV series.

Meanwhile, WB cast a different Barry Allen actor for their Justice League movie universe, Ezra Miller, who made his first two apperances recently in Batman Vs. Superman.

While Ezra Miller has previously mentioned parallel dimensions regarding the two Flash characters, and the Batman Vs. Superman Flash cameo hinted at multiple dimensions, producer Chares Roven says there is no connection at all.

“The Flash on the television show and the Flash in Batman v Superman don’t have anything to do with one another,” Roven told Coming Soon. “They don’t exist in the same time, place, universe or even dimension.”

Roven goes on to state it will be rather interesting to see the response to the two different Flash actors.

“Television is interesting. It’s going to be interesting to see if you can have two characters in two different mediums have the same name, have many of the same attributes and still coexist harmoniously because they’re from two different universes,” Roven said.

It also doesn’t appear as if Warner Bros. plans on having two characters exisit at the same time on TV and the movies ever again. WB already killed off Suicide Squad characters in Arrow, and most recently saw Zack Snyder kill off Jimmy Olsen in a post-release BVS interview (they didn’t even name the character in the movie); CBS’ Supergirl has their own Jimmy Olsen with Mehcad Brooks. It’s also known Batman and Superman don’t exist within the CW Arrow/Flash universe, and Superman has only been a blur on Supergirl. Regarding Gotham, Ben McKenzie and J.K. Simmons are probaby far apart enough in age where it won’t much matter much regarding Gordon.

Watch: Gary Oldman’s Advice For New James Gordon In Justice League: J.K. Simmons

You can scratch off J.K. Simmons reprising as J. Jonah Jameson for the Spider-Man reboot as the actor has been cast as Commissioner Gordon in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which starts filming in two days.

Now outgoing Gordon, Gary Oldman, has some advice for Simmons.

“The thing you’ve just got to get used to with Gordon is he’s a really sound detective, first of all,” Oldman told Yahoo. “And he’s really incorruptible, which is a kind of wonderful quality to play and sort of, like, true blue.

“He’s like a Watson, oddly,” Oldman continued. “He’s sort of like Watson to Sherlock, is Gordon to Batman.”

Upon hearing the news that J.K. Simmons landed the role, Oldman offered: “God bless him. That’s what I say, yeah.”

Justice League starts filming April 11th for its November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder also starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash and Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

Daniel Bruhl Says Lots Of Secrets In Captain America: Civil War

We have yet to get a look at the bad guy in Captain America: Civil War (or at least one of them), but in the latest issue of Total Film magazine, Daniel Bruhl offers the movie holds a lot of secrets. One of those secrets happens to be the role Daniel Bruhl is playing, which is yet to be confirmed, but the sure money is on Daniel Bruhl playing Baron Zemo.

“Not that much,” Bruhl respond when asked what he can say about Captain America: Civil War. “I was really told not to because there are so many secrets in the film. And also my character’s quite mysterious, so I’m really scared to say too much. The things I’ve mentioned in interviews before were already too much – and I thought it was nothing!”

The article notes Bruhl was in part cast as the mystery villain due to his German accent.

“Yes, but what I like is it’s not a stereotype,” Bruhl offered about playing the Civil War bad guy. “It’s not a guy who’s mean and sinister, but he’s actually very clever – a very smart guy who does everything out of a very understandable reason and motivation.”

Bruhl does offer up a tidbit or two about the villain in the movie, but again nothing specific.

“Some of the things that happen in the film, and why they happen, are because of him. He is orchestrating things that happen throughout the film. I think that’s something I can say, goddam it!”

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Spider-Man Will Be More Fun To Discover In Captain America: Civil War

We’ve only seen a glimpse of Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below). Honestly, hopefully that is all Marvel reveals as even director Joe Russo admits the best is yet to come.

“He’s certainly a character that’s more fun for people to discover when they go see the movie,” Joe Russo told Total Film Magazine. “He was my favorite character growing up. I have an incredible amount of passion for Spider-Man.”

Russo also comments on the Spider-Man costume, but it’s a mystery whether or not this is the version Tony Stark may have made and given to Peter, and offers the following on casting 19-year-old Tom Holland.

“It was very important for us to execute an interpretation of the character that was loyal to how I felt about him as an 11-year-old,” Russo offered. “So we were very dedicated to casting an actor very close in age to the age of the character. And also, an actor with that youthful spirit and insecurity that comes with being that age and having that kind of power.”

Following Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland will be featured in the standalone Spider-Man movie in 2017. Kevin Feige recently confirmed other Marvel characters will cross over.

WB Panic Button Rumored Following Batman Vs. Superman

Following the slew of rumors suggesting adjustments are going to be made, and that quite possibly Zack Snyder may lose control of the Justice League universe, now a new batch of rumors hits the net.

This time Variety says Warner Bros. is “close to hitting the panic button in Burbank this week.”

It’s noted:

• On Batman vs. Superman‘s 13th day of release, the movie is performing less than Ant-Man, Man of Steel, or even Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman (I recently went over how BvS is peforming 40% lower than MoS in the past four days).

• “Hitting the magic $1 billion figure in worldwide grosses seems to be out of reach.”

• It’s been said due to Batman Vs. Superman‘s poor performace, WB will now be doing less original movies and instead focus on the big tentpoles (DC movies, Harry Potter spinoffs, LEGO).

Batman vs. Superman is said to have become a “corporate vision.”

• Mandates were put forth to lay the Justice League groundwork (hence “Dawn of Justice”).

• Christopher Nolan stalled the DC Universe by making his Batman not set in an extended universe (The Dark Knight came out the same time as Marvel’s Iron Man, 2008).

• What’s clearly missing is vision, with it noted WB lacks a Marvel’s Kevin Feige.

• Geoff Johns is already stetched out too thin to have the “Feige role” for DC movies.

• Zack Snyder has been making the bulk of creative decisions.

• Production executive Jon Berg and and Time-Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes are said to be “taking more of a hands-on approach now, paying closer attention to overarching story concerns.”

• It’s again said WB wasn’t expecting such negative critical reviews.

Batman vs. Superman is said to have always been a “transitional film, bridging the gap between Man of Steel (which was produced with no plan in place to expand the universe) and anything approaching the Avengers/Super Friends mold.”

• It seems WB is still sitcking with Snyder as it’s said: “Justice League will be a crowd-pleaser more suited to Snyder’s talents, and that the upcoming two-part event is ‘extremely kinetic and visual.’ It will be far more straightforward than existential in its handling of superheroes.”

• It’s further suggested the “bounce-back will be considerable” when Justice League premiers November 17, 2017.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Boyd Holbrook To Play Wolverine 3 Villain

The sequel to The Wolverine has founds its villain with Boyd Holbrook.

Deadline reports Boyd Holbrook, known for roles in Narcos, Gone Girl and Hatfields & McCoys, will play the lead villain opposite Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart.

Boyd Holbrook’s character is described as: “a relentless, calculating and intense head of security for a global enterprise who is set against Jackman’s clawed Wolverine/Logan hero.”

It’s been said the movie is supposed to be based on the “Old Man Logan” Marvel Comics storyline; however, as some of those characters are owned by Marvel Studios (Red Skull, Abomination, Hulk, Hawkeye, etc.), it’s possible Holbrook’s character could be an original character created for the movie.

The untitled Wolverine movie has a March 2, 2017 release, so it should begin filming soon, which will be Hugh Jackman’s list, and it’s also been said the film may be rated-R. James Mangold returns to direct.
