I think Supergirl looks a lot of fun. I'm glad they went with a more lighthearted approach as it fits the character well.

This doesn't have any connection with the DC movies. If anything, it'll have crossovers with "Arrow" and "The Flash", as producer Berlanti stated these three shows share the same universe. Oh, and "Legends of Tomorrow" too.

I'm glad it doesn't share the same universe as the films. Not all these properties need to be connected directly. Daredevil was an excellent show but I hated the references to the MCU. Nothing about that show looked like it belonged in the same world as the Avengers.

Which is about the age they are looking for, they are going super young with this new Spidey.

Ugh. I'm honestly sick of highschool/early college Spider-Man on film. It's been done. They should move on and start exploring more of his adult life on film.

Besides it makes little to no sense for the Avengers to let a 15 year old join the team.

 

[Neo_Version 7]

They probably will lock this kid down for the next 15 years of his life too

At least it isn't a reboot. Plus I only have faith in it because it is being handled by Marvel though I never really disliked any SM films outside of Raimis third film.

And don't sleep on MadMax, 99% on RT and all of them are justified.


Just a few reviews snippets:

Claudia Puig, USA Today: "While the extended action sequences are dazzling, the film succeeds mostly due to the powerful performances of Hardy and Theron. The best female action hero since Sigourney Weaver in Alien, Theron is riveting as the clever and determined, shaved-headed Furiosa. She lends the role a fascinating blend of toughness, tenderness and gravitas as we learn her tragic back story in the film's final third. ... Sometimes the vehicular crashes and over-the-top pandemonium grow a bit numbing, though Miller finds a way to make even the carnage inventive."

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: " 'Mad Max: Fury Road' isn't a reboot, it's a power-up -- an outrageously kinetic, visually inventive, dramatically satisfying demolition derby that pits the matriarchy against the patriarchy while standing as the action film to beat for the rest of the summer, possibly the decade. It may be the best thing Miller has ever done. ... It's enough to renew your faith in movies."

Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter: "The new film certainly boasts a higher percentage of flat-out amazing action than any of its predecessors, and that's probably enough said for most of its potential audience. Perhaps the long gestation period served it well. While very similar to its predecessors in almost every way, the film has devilishness in its details. ... And then there's the new leading actor, Tom Hardy, who's so ideal a replacement for Mel Gibson that one wouldn't want to imagine anyone else having taken over the role."

Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: "When you get past Miller's orgy of loco action sequences -- and they're so good, you may not need to -- the story is pretty thin. ... What made the first Mad Max such a future-shock classic wasn't just its jittery, overcranked action served up with a sick smile, but also its metaphorical depth. The new film is, I'm sorry to say, just another summer action film (albeit a gorgeously shot one). In the end, Mad Max's road may be furious, but it doesn't really lead anywhere."

A.O. Scott, The New York Times: "It's all great fun, and quite rousing as well -- a large-scale genre movie that is at once unpretentious and unafraid to bring home a message. Way back in the 'Thunderdome' days, Tina Turner sang, 'We don't need another hero.' That's more true than ever, especially during summer movie season. And 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' like its namesake both humble and indomitable, isn't about heroism in the conventional, superpowered sense. It's about revolution."

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: "The long-incubating Mad Max: Fury Road is an R-rated, rocket-fueled romper-stomper, a nonstop chase epic powered by a reported $150 million budget and Miller's indisputable visionary genius. One look at Max, and the ****** fans of Happy Feet would be traumatized for life. Does this ride down Fury Road always make sense? Not really. So what? Just go with it."

Isn't it technically a reboot since they are starting over? They may not make it an origin story, but the character is being rebooted for film.

 

[RFX45]

Yah I meant not another origin story but I guess you can call it a soft reboot instead because other than age they really are just going with an already existing entity?


Also as for a young one being recruited by the Avengers, in the recent cartoons he has been working with Fury and formed his own group and I haven't read any recent books lately but I think it is also true there? In the books Spidey pretty much just join everyone anyways like Wolverine.

And to be fair, I don't think he is going to be recruited by the Avengers, he has a role in Civil War and might appear in Infinity Wars (that's really just going to be every hero going against Thanos) and the rest are still just his solo films so his age shouldn't be that much of a factor in terms of him being too young to join the group.

I have zero interest in seeing a teenage Butterfield Spiderman joining forces with the Avengers.

 

[Jr Mouse]

If the rumors are true that his solo film will be subtitled "The New Avenger" I'd expect for him to be joining the team.

Crossbones looks pretty cool.
