Don’t Believe Avengers X-Men Rumors Says James Gunn

The current rumor going around is that, similar to Spider-Man, the X-Men may be coming back to Marvel.

It’s been rumored on more than once occasion that Fox and Disney are striking up a deal, which would see X-Men characters interact within the MCU.

One specific rumor stated an Avengers and X-Men movie is being planned for 2020, with another stating the X-Men are getting rebooted under Marvel following X-Men: Apocalypse.

The bad news is that it may not be happening.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 director James Gunn recently held a Facebook Q&A where he was asked about the crossover.

“I wouldn’t believe any of those rumors about Fox Disney,” Gunn said.

While Gunn seemed to have shot the rumor down, at least Fox’s Simon Kinberg and Deadpool’s Tim Miller are open to the idea of a crossover.

“Yeah, I think we all would,” Simon Kinberg recently said about crossing over Avengers and X-Men. “There’s so much crossover in the comics it would be neat to one day be able see those characters share a movie.”

You can watch more from James Gunn in the video below who also offers up he is not sure if he will be doing Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and Gunn also says John C. Reilly will not be back as Nova’s Rhomann Dey for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

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

Tim Miller and Simon Kinberg Want Avengers X-Men Marvel Crossover

Both Deadpool director Tim Miller and executive producer/writer of the X-Men movies Simon Kinberg talk about the potential of an Avengers and X-Men Marvel crossover.

“I would love to some day in part heal the rift between the world of X-Men and the world of Avengers,” Tim Miller told Crave Online.

“Yeah, I think we all would,” Simon Kinberg added. “There’s so much crossover in the comics it would be neat to one day be able see those characters share a movie.”

“Kevin [Feige] is so awesome,” Miller said. “Did you see my little pizza box in one of the scenes? ‘Feige’s Famous Pizza’ — that was my little.. trying to bring these worlds together.”

“Both of us are actually quite close with Kevin and have a profound amount of respect for what he does,” Kinberg offered. “And it would be fun to all team up one day, somehow, together, if that could work.”

“I think it’s a super smart move with Spider-Man. I mean, he’s great,” Miller said.

Miller also offered a resounding “no” when asked if he would like Gwenpool (good answer).

Regarding an X-Men and Avengers crossover, the latest rumor states that it’s happening after X-Men: Apocalypse with a movie possibly coming in 2020.

It also probably helps that long time X-Men producer Lauren Schuler Donner also happens to be friends with Feige as well as the two have worked together in the past.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Charlie Cox Confirms No Daredevil In Marvel Movies

For fans hoping to see Daredevil side-by-side the Avengers or even Spider-Man, here is more evidence that it isn’t happening any time soon, if at all.

Charlie Cox again rules out an appearance in the Marvel movies.

“There was no conversation about joining any of the movies,” Cox said, reports CNet, though the Daredevil actor did state he would like to appear. “Who wouldn’t want to be in the highest grossing film of all time?”

Charlie Cox previously even questioned if the Marvel movies and Marvel TV existed in the same universe, which goes to show just how separate the two studios really are.

“Yeah. That would be the coolest thing ever. Marvel TV and Marvel Studios are two very different things,” said Cox. “Even if the character were to appear in that film, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I would appear in that film. I will pick a fight with the guy that they choose!… So that would be a dream, but that’s not something that has been discussed.”

Likewise, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn recently said the same.

“There is Marvel TV who is pretty disconnected from Marvel Film, which is owned by Disney, and that’s really not connected at all,” Gunn said.

So why all the bad blood?

It’s been reported eccentric Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter is to blame as he butted heads with Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige over various strategies and policies. Most recently saw it reported that Feige had parted ways with Perlmutter and Perlmutter’s comic/TV crew consisting of Joe Quesda, Brian Bendis and Jeph Loeb.

Star-Lord & Thor Confirmed For Avengers: Infinity War

It’s confirmed the Guardians of the Galaxy – at least one member with Star-Lord – as well as the god of Thunder, Thor, will be appearing in The Avengers: Infinity War.

Joe Russo confirmed the news to the ComicBook.com web site.

On Star-Lord:

The movies are intended to be a culmination of everything that’s happened before in the MCU so you don’t want to get into spoilers but I’m a big fan of what James Gunn has done. [Joe Russo and I] are both big fans of what James Gunn has done. Star-Lord is a fantastic character and Chris Pratt is an awesome performer so you’d be very excited.

On Thor:

I’m excited to work with Thor. They’re doing some really interesting stuff with Ragnarok and where he’s gonna be at the beginning of Infinity War is gonna be a very interesting place and I think very profound. I think he’s gonna have a real emotional motivation after that.

It remains to be seen whether or not any of the other Guardians of the Galaxy characters make their way to Avengers: Infinity War. Interestingly enough, a while back a former Marvel employee that worked on the comic book told Cosmic Book News he/she expected the Guardians to be cannon fodder for Thanos.

And now we also know Thor survives Thor: Ragnarok.

The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 has a May 4, 2018 release followed by Part 2 on May 3, 2019 directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.

Avengers Confirmed For Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie

With Spider-Man set to debut in Captain America: Civil War, it’s also learned Marvel Studios characters will cross over into the standalone Spidey movie in 2017.

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige confirmed the news to EW.com.

“He is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth,” Feige said.

It’s unknown which Marvel characters will be appearing in the standalone Spider-Man movie, but Joe Russo offered a bit of a tease, with the article noting it’s probably a joke.

“Let’s just say … Great Lakes Avengers,” said Joe Russo.

With Marvel characters appearing in the Spider-Man movie, it’s probably a good bet that Spider-Man will be appearing in the Avengers: Infinity War movies, which are directed by the Russo Brothers as well.

Tom Holland is playing Spider-Man and debuts in Captain America: Civil War next month followed by the Spider-Man reboot that has a July 7, 2017 release date directed by Jon Watts.

X-Men Rumored To Marvel & Avengers Again; Singer Leaving Franchise?

Once again it’s being rumored that the X-Men will be coming back to Marvel.

Back last July saw a rumor hit that Fox and Marvel are planning an Avengers and X-Men move for 2020.

Now it’s being said that following X-Men: Apocalypse, the X-Men will be rebooted within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though Fox will still retain the rights.

The latest info comes from Comic Planet Culture For Life that also states X-Men: Apocalypse will be Bryan Singer’s last X-Men movie.

It’s also again said an announcement will be forthcoming; the first rumor stated an announcement about the X-Men and Marvel Avengers movie would be made at this year’s Comic-Con, which follows the May premiere of X-Men: Apocalypse. Whether the announcement comes this year (if it happens) remains to be seen, but Disney could always announce the Avengers and X-Men event in 2017 at their D23 Expo which just moved to the month of July (the month Comic-Con is normally held).

Regarding any evidence that Fox is teaming with Marvel for Avengers and X-Men, back about two years ago Kevin Feige said “never say never” regarding Marvel teaming up with any of the other studios. Of course, now we know Marvel is working together with Sony on Spider-Man.

Notable X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner is also close to Marvel’s Kevin Feige, as the two worked together, and previously offered she would “love it” if the characters worked together with an enthusiastic “yeah, absolutely,” when questioned about a potential X-Men and Marvel crossover.

Possible further evidence may lie with the recent smash hit Deadpool movie, which features Marvel’s Avengers hellicarrier in the climactic scene. The Hellicarrier in Deadpool was confirmed by the concept artist: “[I] was asked to redesign the helicarrier so it looked as different as possible from the one in The Avengers. And it had to look like it had been taken apart in some places,” Emmanuel Shiu said.

It’s also suggested the previous rift between Marvel Comics and Fox may be over as Marvel Comics is now producing various X-Men related comic books. Marvel Comics previously killed off various X-Men characters including Wolverine and blew up the cast of the Fantastic Four reboot in one of their books. There is also the fact Marvel and Fox are working together on the FX X-Men TV series Legion and Hellfire.

Regarding Fantastic Four, no rumors have suggested the property may be going back to Marvel, but if the X-Men rumors pan out, more than likely Kevin Feige and Marvel will be coming in to save the day for FF as well.

Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution Season 3, Ep. 3 – Clip 1

Watch a new clip above for the next episode of Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution.

Captain America battles Baron Zemo back in 1944 in a new clip from “Marvel’s Avengers: Ultron Revolution,” airing Sunday at 8:30 AM ET on Disney XD!

 

About:

After defeating world-shattering threats like Ultron and Thanos, the Avengers have less reason to come back together to fight smaller villains as a team. However, the unexpected return of Ultron reunites the Avengers and they must learn what it is to function as a unit again. New challenges include the unpredictable Ultimate Ultron, but also Baron Zemo, the Masters of Evil, the Inhumans, and the futuristic Kang the Conquerer. Through these events, the Avengers prove once again that they are more than a powerhouse team–they are also a family and their combined strength is what allows them to be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. 

With an all-star roster consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Falcon and, occasionally–when she feels like it and only when she feels like it–Black Widow, the Avengers are a team in the truest sense. The Avengers save the world from the biggest threats imaginable–threats no single super hero could withstand.

Gotham’s David Mazouz Says Justice League Would Crush The Avengers (Video)

The cast of Gotham got to attend the premiere of Batman Vs. Superman earlier tonight where the young Bruce Wayne offered up his thoughts on Justice League vs. The Avengers.

David Mazouz said on the Red Carpet that it wouldn’t even be close.

“I’m sorry, we are at a DC Comics thing here. The Avengers are out. Justice League. I mean, come on. Martian Manhunter, Aquaman. I can’t. I can’t… Justice League,” Mazouz said.

Mazouz also said Wonder Woman would beat Black Widow, and further offered why the Justice League would beat the Avengers.

“Because their powers are so much greater. I mean, who do the Avengers have?” the young Bruce Wayne questioned. “A guy in some iron suit, that’s not even iron. It’s actually bread. Then there is a big green guy. Calm on. We have Aquaman. We have Wonder Woman. We have The Flash. There’s no way. Justice League’s headquarter are in space. The Avengers headquarters are like somewhere in Iron Man’s city. Like, who cares. It wouldn’t be close.”

Russo Brothers Talk Avengers: Infinity War Characters & Spider-Man

We just heard from Joe and Anthony Russo in regards to Spider-Man in the Captain America: Civil, now check out what the directors have to say about The Avengers: Infinity War. Speaking with Forbes, the Russo’s menton Thanos, new characters and Spider-Man.

On whether Disney/Marvel requires certain characters for Avengers: Infinity War:

JR: Maybe there’s a character requirement but with things like Avengers: Infinity War that’s obvious because it’s a culmination of all the films in the phase that have preceded it. You know that Thanos is going to be in there and the majority of the Marvel Universe is going to appear in the movies. Those are givens, but after that we can construct any narrative we want around it and what we think is the best execution of the story.

On new characters appearing in Avengers: Infinity War:

AR: There are certain characters that you don’t know.

JR: New characters that are going to appear in Avengers: Infinity War. It’s a big sprawling ambitious movie, it’s about as ambitious as movies get and it should be, and the title alone indicates that there will be an incredible scape and scope to it.

On where they are at in regards to Avengers: Infinity War:

AR: It is intended to be the entire culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe and, in many ways, the end to that part of it. But we don’t even have the first draft in on that script yet; we’re still in the outline phase. It’s hard not to talk about it too specifically now only because of spoilers but also because we’re still figuring it out.

AR: We have an idea but let’s see if that evolves over the next couple of months.

Will Spider-Man appear in Avengers: Infinity War:

JR: To be determined. We’ll see.

“The Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1” has a May 4, 2018 release, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

The new Captain America: Civil War trailer featuring Spider-Man is said to have hit 100 million views in its first 24 hours.

According to Disney (via EW), the trailer had 94.7 million views worldwide within 24 hours, which fan surpasses Age Of Ultron‘s then-record of 33.4 million.

As noted, the Marvel YouTube count from Friday afternoon saw more than 22 million views; the Marvel UK YouTube had close to 2 million views, and more than two dozen foreign language versions of the trailer are also available.

Marvel’s Facebook page recorded over 17 million views, with the Marvel Captain America Facebook page also having around 17 million. Add in Twitter as well, plus any other private or alternate site video displays (as well as PC and home viewings) and we can probably guess it’s north of 100 million.

As it stands, the current box office estimates for the opening weekend of Captain America: Civil War are around $160-170 million.

Now 68 Characters For Avengers: Infinity War?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24498:]]

About two months ago saw Anthony and Joe Russo make mention they have so many characters that they are dealing with for Avengers: Infinity War that they have a board with 67 characters on it to keep track of everything.

Shortly after that, however, the Russo’s backtracked on the statement clarifying they were being figurative, and that they just meant there are a lot of characters.

The latest comes out of the Wizard World Cleveland Comic-Com where Cleveland.com reports the Russo’s clarified their earlier statement and now say there are 68 – not 67 – characters in Avengers: Infinity War.

We’re guessing, similar to the above, that the Russo’s are just having fun with the numbers, but there will still be lots of Marvel characters appearing.

“We have to tell a story and that story has to be built around the characters’ emotional arcs,” Joe Russo added. “And we can only have so many of those.” 

The Avengers: Infinity War” Part 1 hits May 4, 2018, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

Petition Launches For Richard Rider Nova For Avengers: Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24304:]]

It is critical that you pay attention at this time!

Richard Rider Nova fans have launched a petition requesting the inclusion of fan-favorite Marvel Comics character Richard Rider Nova in The Avengers: Infinity War movies.

You can sign the petition here.

The Richard Rider Nova character has a long and storied history in the comic book world beginning in 1976 with the publication of “The Man Called Nova.” Richard Rider Nova was an important part of the original “Infinity War” comic book event and was prominently featured in the story and on the cover art. We are writing to ask that you include Richard Rider Nova in the Infinity War movie as part of the large cast of characters who will be participating in the war to stop Thanos.

Nova was a sister title to Abnett and Lanning’s Guardians of the Galaxy title that inspired the billion dollar Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn Marvel Studios and Disney franchise. Though Nova didn’t happen to appear in the movie, his Guardians of the Galaxy movie action figure was the best-selling figure of the line, and Nova was even voted into the Marvel Heroes video game by the fans. Yep! You can’t keep a good man down!

For fans of the character, a likely added benefit of Richard Rider Nova appearing in the movie will be his return to the comic book world.  After all, the mere appearance of a character in a movie or TV show has worked for everyone from Howard the Duck to Hellcat.  The upcoming Captain America: Civil War movie has even brought Steve Rogers back to the Captain America role, and more than likely Thor’s return will be imminent as soon as Ragnarok gets closer to its release. So, if you want Rider back, this is likely the best shot for it to happen in the near future. Take a minute to add your name to the petition.  When the goal is reached, it will be sent to Kevin Feige and the Russo brothers.

Nova was even in early scripts of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so there is that to build upon.  Check out some cool concept art:

Reddit User Gets Screwed Out Of Winning The Marvel Coke Mini-Cooper Super Bowl Giveaway

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24228:]]

Sunday night during the Super Bowl saw the Ant-Man vs. Hulk Marvel Coke spot released, which was followed up with a viral marketing contest.

The Ant-Man vs Hulk spot happened to include coordinates to a park in Los Angeles, which was a part of a Marvel Coke Mini-Cooper giveaway.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24227:]]

Well, one Reddit fan arrived on the scene, but apparently it was a bit too early as the people hosting the giveaway for the event were unprepared, which seems to have caused this fan the Mini-Cooper prize.

The fan posted on Reddit that the host of the Mini-Cooper giveaway told him to wait, and then the host proceeded to film a Snapchat video of the password phrase needed to win, but the host didn’t inform the Reddit user about needing the phrase. Since the fan was told to wait, the fan stopped looking for additional clues. Another person showed up thirty minutes later with the correct passphrase and won the prize.

Here is the post:

So I was following the viral marketing for the coke/marvel ad that played during the Super Bowl last night and coordinates pointed to Griffith Park, somewhere I live very close to. I drove up and arrived at a parking lot with an RV and a red mini cooper. Someone was filming me as I was trying to figure out what I needed to do next and the host told me to wait, so I sat 15 mins thinking he’d give me follow up info. When he gave me no such thing I began searching around the park thinking it would be hidden, only to find nothing. After an hour of searching, someone pulls up and yells “Make it Mini”

They won the car. I was so confused that it wasn’t until after did I realize this host screwed me over. The final clue was a snapchat vid that he made after I had already arrived. Rather than telling me there was another clue, he told me to wait. Had I not trusted him and tried looking for more info online, I could have probably won the car 30 mins before anyone arrived. I left salty, calling coca-cola and filing a report just so I could have my voice heard. It’s a bummer I came so close to winning something only to be misled at the end.

Regarding the validity of the Redditor’s statements, he says it’s on record by the team at the Mini-Cooper giveaway as he was recorded, and another Redditor showed up on site at the park to back up his claims. 

The Redditor also posted the following images below as proof.

“The fact that he filmed the final clue while I was sitting around expecting to get something after they were done filming says a lot. He walked passed me without a glance,” Reddit user showbizclique posted.

Marvel Coke Mini-Can Hunt Viral Campaign Contest Launches

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24141:]]

A few days ago saw Coke release images of Marvel character-themed cans (pictured above).

Then earlier during the Super Bowl an Ant-Man vs. Hulk Coke/Marvel spot was released (watch below).

Now details on how to get the cans (actually mini-cans) have become known.

Apparently, the Avengers mini-cans are not for purchase, but are a part of a viral marketing campaign.

Coke and Marvel have launched secret Twitter accounts, which tells users to follow them and tweet a specific hashtag to enter for a chance to win the Coke Avengers mini-cans (watch the spot for clues).

Two sites have already been found on Twitter: @MiniHero37 and @AHHForce. There is a limited number of followers they will allow (4000), so you may want to follow and tweet out the given hashtags ASAP to enter for a chance to win the Avengers Coke mini-cans.

Here is specifically how to enter from the official rules:

How to Enter: During the Promotion Period, look for a clue (each a “Clue”) which may be a website URL, an @handle, or a phone number hidden somewhere in supported media about this Promotion. Each Clue will have a specific hashtag, quantity of prizes associated with that Clue, and Twitter account to follow. The Clue will drive you to a Twitter page at which you will learn which steps are needed to participate in the Promotion for that Clue. You must take the steps to first follow that page and then to post a specific hashtag on Twitter. The “bio” for the applicable Twitter page will provide the hashtag for that Clue as well as the number of prizes available for that Clue (the “Quantity”). There will be a minimum of 1,000 prizes available per Clue and a maximum of 4,000. For each Clue, follow the instructions on the applicable Twitter page to find the hashtag which you must post on Twitter after following the applicable page, in order to participate in the Giveaway and Sweepstakes. You must first “follow” the applicable handle and then using the hashtag that you found, Tweet it on Twitter. There need not be any other content or photo component to your Tweet, just the applicable hashtag. However, if you include a photo or other content, it must not contain material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, or offensive in any way. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any participant if, in its sole discretion, it finds content in his or her tweet or on his or her social media pages to be inconsistent with the brand’s image (for example, if content is in violation of any of the restrictions above). If you are one of the first people to share the applicable hashtag, up to the applicable, announced Quantity, you will be offered the opportunity to claim one of the prizes for that Clue.

To Tweet: Log into or create your Twitter account. Follow the applicable Twitter page, then Tweet the applicable hashtag. Your account settings must be set to “unprotected” and/or “public” in order for your Tweets to be viewable by Sponsor and its agents. Creating a Twitter account is free, but is subject to its terms and conditions (https://twitter.com/tos). If you post updates to or receive updates from www.twitter.com via SMS from your wireless phone, message and data rates may apply. Please consult your wirelessservice provider regarding its pricing plans.

If you are following the applicable handle and you share the applicable hashtag using a public account, but you are NOT one of the first applicable Quantity to Tweet the hashtag and have not been offered a prize before the end of the Promotion Period, you will automatically receive 1 entry into the Sweepstakes, up to the limit stated below.

Limit: 1 Tweet per Clue per person during the Promotion Period and up to one Sweepstakes entry per Clue per person. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or Twitter account. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, Twitter accounts, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, sweepstakes entry services) will void all entries by that entrant. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address or Twitter account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned (i) an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address or (ii) a Twitter account as provided by Twitter. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holders.

Marvel & Coca-Cola Super Bowl Commercial May Feature Ant-Man & Hulk

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24184:]]

Update: A Captain America: Civil War spot has been released.

Update #2: A Marvel Coke Ant-Man vs Hulk spot has been released.

Update #3: A Marvel Coke mini-can contest has launched.

 

We may have a possible clue as to what the Marvel Super Bowl commercial will feature as word is hitting the net a Coke commercial is running featuring Ant-Man and the Hulk.

Users on Reddit and Twitter are reporting they have seen the Marvel Coke commercial advertised on various videos on YouTube — though it is unclear if this is the 60-second Superbowl spot. It’s possible this ad may either be a part of it (i.e. a shorter version) or entirely separate.

A user on Reddit described the Marvel Coke commercial featuring the Ant-Man and the Hulk as follows:

Okay so I’m doing some late night youtube and suddenly an ad pops up. Im about to skip but its a door that says “Doctor Bruce Banner”- so of course I watched it. Its a coke commercial with Hulk and Ant Man! I can’t remember all of the details cause it went so quickly but Hulk is chasing Ant Man for a can of coke and he bursts out of the side of a building. He can’t open the can when he finally gets it so Ant Man does it for him

Marvel and Coke teased a joint promotion earlier with cans featuring various Avengers characters, with the Hulk and Ant-Man being a part of the group. It’s possible there could be numerous Coke ads featuring a combination of the characters, with the 60-second spot being the entire group. If we go by the order of the cans from the promotion, the spot would feature Falcon with Black Widow, Iron Man with Captain America, and per above, Ant-Man and Hulk (see pic below).

We won’t have to wait too much longer to find out as the Marvel Coke commercial is airing during the second quarter of today’s Big Game.

Whether or not it’s a Captain America: Civil War trailer may be in doubt as the promotion features the Hulk (at least in can-form), and the Hulk is not a part of the movie; so it’s possible the promotion would be more or less Marvel Avengers-related.

Thor 3 & The Avengers: Infinity Wars Will Feel Like A Hulk Standalone Movie Says Ruffalo

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24083:]]

While there will be no standalone Hulk movie because the rights are not owned by Marvel Studios, Mark Ruffalo eases fans concerns as the actor lets it be known the Hulk will have an epic role to come in Thor: Ragnarok as well as The Avengers: Infinity War movies.

Ruffalo tells Yahoo the three films will actually make it seem as if the Hulk has a standalone film (which must mean the Green Goliath is featured rather prominently).

“I’d love to do a Hulk movie, but that’s beyond my control,” he said. “It’s controlled by Universal. Marvel doesn’t even hold the rights to it. So, it’s not on the horizon. And I don’t know if it will be.”

But we’ve worked a really interesting arc into ‘Thor 3′, ‘Avengers 3′ and ‘4′ for Banner that I think will – when it’s all added up – will feel like a Hulk movie, a standalone movie.

On Thor 3:

“Taika Waititi’s coming in and I love him. That’s a surprise and it fits part of this Marvel doing the unexpected, casting the unexpected, and now bringing in the unexpected for writer and director. I’m really interested in where that’s going.

“They’re writing the script now. I am thinking about it, I’m doing script meetings and stuff so we’re starting to prep it.”

The most recent rumors surrounding Thor: Ragnarok indicate some sort of adaptation of the Planet Hulk comic book. Is it possible following Thor 3 that Marvel Studios adapts the World War Hulk storyline as well?

“Thor: Ragnarok” as a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi also starring Chris Hemsworth and films in Australia.
