No Guardians of the Galaxy 2 For D23 Expo

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21686:]]

Earlier it was learned there will be no Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer at this weekend’s Disney D23 Expo, and now just in case if you were wondering, there will also be nothing for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is still a ways off, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but a fan asked director James Gunn on Twitter if he will be at the D23 Expo.

Gun replied they don’t have anything ready to announce for the event.

While no Guardians will be present, something is planned for Captain America: Civil War on Saturday.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has a May 5, 2017 release.

Guardians of the Galaxy Opened 1 Year Ago Today

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21591:]]

One year ago today saw the Guardians of the Galaxy take theaters by storm by introducing movie goers to a new team of Marvel Cosmic super heroes.

Led by James Gunn, Chris Pratt was introduced as Star-Lord, with Zoe Saldana as Gamora, WWE Superstar Dave Bautista played Drax, Doctor Who‘s Karen Gillan shaved her head for the nefarious Nebula, Lee Pace was the featured villain as Ronan, and Bradley Cooper voiced Rocket Raccoon with Vin Diesel voicing “I am” Groot.

The movie netted close to $40 million on its opening day and went on to break the August box office record with an opening of almost $100 million. Guardians of the Galaxy finished with a whopping $774 million worldwide giving it the fourth best performance for a Marvel Studios movie, only trailing The Avengers films and Iron Man 3.

Disney quickly announced a sequel for Guardians of the Galaxy and gave it a May 5, 2017 release.

James Gunn and Chris Pratt took to their social networks to remember the day.

James Gunn on Facebook:

One year ago today, Guardians of the Galaxy opened up in the U.S. and many places around the world. The movie massively over-performed that weekend, even by our own expectations, but what meant more to me is how much so many of you, no matter where you were from, took the story and the characters into your hearts. What meant more to me is that “We are Groot” became a rallying cry for unity among friends and families. What meant more to me is that you laughed at the dumb stuff I thought you’d miss, like “Cap’n’s gotta teach stuff” and “I was thinking of something else.” What meant more to me is that in our tenth week we were out-performing any comic book film in recent history – not because of the money, but because people were going back to see the film a second, third, fourth, fifth time, or more, because they loved it. What mattered to me is that after a lifetime of telling stories and half a lifetime making movies, I felt like you and I, filmmaker and audience, were at the same place at the same time.

It mattered to me mostly because I told a story fully with my heart, and you took it into yours. I don’t think I can ever explain how much that means to me. It makes every failure I’ve ever had well worth it.

I get a lot of messages from people saying, “You made me believe in movies again.” Well, you guys made me believe that what I spent my life doing was worth doing. And you strengthened my belief that nothing’s worth doing, if it’s not done honestly, and it’s not done with love.

On this, the one year anniversary of the cinematic Guardians entering our solar system: thank you, thank you, thank you.

We really are, truly, honestly Groot.

Love,

James

Watch: Nicole Perlman Talks Guardians of the Galaxy & Captain Marvel

Check out video above of Nicole Perlman talking Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Perlman is on board writing the Captain Marvel movie in which she says it’s currently in the brainstorming stage.

Regarding Guardians of the Galaxy, Perlman recounts how she got involved with writing the first version of the script. Perlman was a part of a Marvel writing program back in 2009 in which Marvel told the writers to develop lesser known properties.

A new Gamora comic book series is also in the works from Perlman which is set prior to Gamora joining the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

Here are some highlights:

They gave us a list of lesser known properties and said ‘choose one of these and you will be developing it for a couple of years by yourself.’ So we said ‘okay’ and everybody chose one. The one I chose was Guardians, which I got a lot of funny looks about because it was the least well known property on the list. 

I was originally drawn to the first group of Guardians. I thought there’s something really cool about Vance Astro and the whole idea about being temporally dislocated, but I loved the 2008 Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning reboot of the series. It just had so much color and sarcasm, and that was something that the producers were excited about as well.

I tried a lot of different versions of which Guardians to include in the story, but the ones that ended up in the movie are the ones that we decided fulfilled all the best parts of that team. We’re encapsulated by those guys.

Rocket Raccoon was a late addition. I’m really glad we put him in. He was very much on the fence for a while. I loved him, and Kevin loved him. There was some back and forth, and he made it in. Thank goodness.

With Quill we changed his backstory fairly significantly because we didn’t want him to start out too noble at the beginning and be doing this for noble reasons. We wanted him to be a bit of a scoundrel.

James Gunn Explains Why Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 For Title

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21229:]]

Kevin Feige recently let it slip that the title for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

James Gunn recently spoke about the title on on Facebook offering reasons as to why they went with “Vol. 2” as the official title.

Yes, the official title of the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Kevin Feige recently let the title slip while doing Ant-Man press, which I’m really happy about because God knows I’ve let more than one thing slip accidentally while chattering away on this FB page.

Also, hats off to some intrepid fans who figured out the title a couple of days after I posted the cover page. More than one person guessed “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” – I wanted so badly to give you props at the time, but knew I had to wait.

For Kevin to mess up. Haha.

And:

Yeah, I came up with a LOT of titles for Vol. 2. But because “Guardians of the Galaxy” is already so wordy, it seemed strange to add another bunch of words after it. I liked Vol. 2 the best, so that’s what I stuck on the cover of the screenplay – and, fortunately, the guys liked it.

Gunn also offered on Facebook that he isn’t sure if Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be at the D23 Expo in August, and that Marvel hasn’t placed any storyline obligations on him for the movie.

While answering questions in regards to more of Nebula/Thanos, and the possibility of any of the Vell (i.e Mar-Vell) family being a part of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Gunn responded with:

Spider-Man To Start Filming June 2016

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21191:]]

While doing press for Ant-Man, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige offered updates on the filming schedules for Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor 3 and the new Spider-Man.

Regarding Captain America: Civil War, Feige said they just crossed the halfway mark of filming last week, and that it’s around day 42 or 43 of 80.

Feige offered Doctor Strange will start to film in London this November.

James Gunn recently confirmed the title for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel to be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which Feige stated will start filming in London around February and/or March of 2016.

The third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, will film at the same time as the new Tom Holland Spider-Man movie, around June of 2016.

Feige also shot down the rumor that Thor 3 will be directed by Kenneth Branagh and stated the announcement for the director should be some time soon.

While there was a previous goofy rumor that Marvel was “scared” of WB at this Summer’s Comic-Con, as many have anticipated, Feige said it’s possible Marvel will be at Disney’s D23 Expo in August.

“Captain America: Civil War” hits May 6, 2016; “Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release; “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” blasts off May 5, 2017; Spider-Man swings in July 28, 2017, and “Thor: Ragnarok” hammers home November 3, 2017.

James Gunn Approves Of Ant-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21180:]]

Not only has James Gunn confirmed the title to Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but Gunn also approves of Marvel’s latest movie, Ant-Man.

Gunn posted the following about Ant-Man on Facebook.

Ant-Man may just be my favorite Marvel film since Jon Favreau’s Iron Man(well, maybe excluding one film to which I’m partial). Honestly, the movie is a complete blast! I was so happy after seeing it. It’s never boring for a second and it’s hilarious and warm throughout. It doesn’t get caught up in the webbing of its own science-fiction concept like so many movies do these days, remaining simple and elegant. It’s a part of the Marvel universe without being ruled by that fact. Paul Rudd is nuanced and charming and funny and is a surprisingly natural fit as a modern superhero (side-fact – Paul must be a nice guy, because he and I dated the same girl in college, and yet I still love him). Michael Peña KILLS IT – this movie is going to make him a huge star. My old pal Judy Greer (she was Deadly Girl to my Minute Man in The Specials (film) many moons ago) is great in a small role. And Michael Douglas is awesome. I think all of Peyton Reed’s years directing have led him to making something as deft and nimble and joyous as this; he did an incredible job. And, despite Edgar Wright’s parting from Marvel, his spirit is felt through the entire project, and there is no doubt everyone owes him a huge debt of gratitude. I left the theater incredibly happy. So often I see movies by people I love which are just okay – it’s great to love a movie as much as I love the people who made it.

This is a photo of me and David Dastmalchian at the premiere after-party last night – David plays a Russian hacker in the movie and nearly every single line out of his mouth gets a laugh. He’s getting on a plane this morning to fly back to Colombia to resume filming his other movie – my movie, The Belko Experiment.

Congrats to the the whole Ant-Man team. Amazing work, guys! And, for the 99.99% of the people reading this who aren’t part of the Ant-Man team, go check it out when it hits theaters (in a lot of places) July 17.

Have a great Tuesday.

Magus Rumored For The Avengers: Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21146:]]

The Magus is stated to be appearing in The Avengers: Infinity War.

The info comes from the Action Auditions casting call website that states the Magus will have a major role along with Thanos.

Here is the blurb:

Auditions are now getting underway for the Marvel Studios feature film ‘Avengers: Infinity War – Part I’ lead and supporting roles. The auditions for new lead and supporting roles will be taking place in Los Angeles, CA. The film is the first in a two-part sequel in which Thanos plays a major role, along with the Magus. Adam Warlock’s bad side, the Magus, separates from his body and assembles the Infinity Gauntlet. Magus creates doppelgangers of Earth’s heroes as part of his plan to recreate a universe of evil. “Avengers: Infinity War – Part I” will be shot entirely on the IMAX/ARRI 2D digital camera.

Obviously, if this info is legit, the inclusion of the Magus means Adam Warlock will get introduced at some point (Magus is the future version of Adam Warlock), with many fans online speculating Adam Warlock to be introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Regarding the description of the Magus, the info may not specifically pertain to the movie as it’s basically a description of the Infinity War Marvel comic; however, of course, anything is possible.

Long story short, in the Infinity comics, Thanos assists the Earth heroes and Adam Warlock in battling the Magus, who has aquired not only five extra-dimensional cosmic cubes, but eventually the Infinity Gauntlet as well.

The Avengers Infinity War Part 1 is due out May 4, 2018, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 hits May 5, 2017.

Matthew Vaughn Working On Kick-Ass Prequel (Video)

In a Q&A interview with Yahoo, Matthew Vaughn lets it be known he is working on a prequel movie for Kick-Ass along with creator Mark Millar.

Here is the blurb:

“I’m not happily done with the franchise. Kick-Ass is a really important film to me. I’m really proud of it, and we would like to dip our toe back into it. We are working on an idea for a prequel of how did Hit Girl and Big Daddy become Hit Girl and Big Daddy. It’s quite a fun idea we’ve come up with. If we make that, hopefully that will be the sorbet for the people that didn’t like Kick-Ass 2 and then we can go off and make Kick-Ass 3. I think we’ve got to do this prequel to regain the love that we had with Kick-Ass.

Vaughn also lets it be known he was interested in doing a comedic space movie at one time, but Guardians of the Galaxy beat him to it.

“Never say never… The answer is maybe sci-fi…”

You can check out more from Vaughn in the video above.

Matthew Vaughn is currently working on the sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Watch: Chris Pratt Talks “Dance Off Bro” With Conan

The beginning and the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie saw Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord dancing.

Honestly, when Star-Lord asked Ronan to do a dance off at the end, I dropped a WTF-bomb.

I was laughing, though.

Now check out Pratt talking with Conan O’Brien about “Dance Off Bro” above as Pratt recently appeared on Conan to promote Jurassic World.

Pratt also recollects a dance competition he did with his brother to C&C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now.”

Jurassic World is currently in theaters, and Pratt might be dancing again come May 5, 2017 with Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Maybe ballet this time, James?

Chris Pratt Talks Star-Lord Vs. Captain America

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20949:]]

Chris Pratt plays Star-Lord, a member of Marvel’s cosmic team of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Chris Evans plays Captain America, the goody two-shoes of Earth’s Mightiest Avengers.

Earlier this year saw the two duke it out on Twitter over the Super Bowl, where Captain America’s Patriots were victorious.

Now while promoting Jurassic World, Chris Pratt is asked by CBR who would win between Star-Lord and Captain America.

Oh, man. Hopefully, you’ll find out one day. Steve Rogers would kick the shit out of Peter Quill in a fair fight, but I don’t think Quill and the Guardians fight fair. I would put my money on Quill. If it was a straight UFC match, Captain America wins 100 out of 100 times. But, when you have Rocket Raccoon, who has your back, and he can take apart an air conditioner and turn it into a nuclear weapon, you have an ace in the hole.

It’s possible we actually may one day get to see that fight between Star-Lord and Captain America on the big screen as Thanos comes into play in the two part The Avengers: Infinity War movies, which may feature the Guardians of the Galaxy. Perhaps Marvel Cosmic and Marvel street-level won’t get along right away before they combine forces to take on the Mad Titan.

Dave Bautista, who plays Drax, also previously stated that Drax could beat up the Hulk and Thor, and Zoe Saldana, who plays Gamora, said the Guardians could kick the Avengers ass as well.

So, fanboys, who wins? Guardians? Or The Avengers?
