Ok some big news just broke from Disney these past couple days and I just want to report on it. I should have really reported on one of these news pieces yesterday but I got lazy playing my new playstation and I wanted a back up in case nothing happened today. Which something did break so now I have two things to report on, cool!
The first came out Yesterday it broke that Lupita Nyong'o (Pasty from 12 years a slave) and Gwendline Christie (Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones.) I love this! Both of them are great actresses and will add some unique qualities to the film, the film by the way is actually shaping up very well. I wrote an article a couple weeks back about the lack of girl power in Star Wars and this makes me happy... I mean Gwendline Christie is awesome and is as girl power as you get, I suspect she might be playing some sort of military officer but if she plays a Jedi that would be very cool. Lupita Nyong'o is awesome and rumors surfaced a couple months back that she would be in the film as a sith. If so let that happen, heck John Boyega is probably going to be the main character why not make Lupita the main villain, let her kill a village or assassinate a senator that would be badass.
A story that doesn't get me that excited is the announcement that Scott Derrikson is directing Dr. Strange. Now before you kill me, I am excited for a Dr. Strange movie but I have never liked anything Scott Derrikson has made. It's more of personal taste but I thought all of his movies have kind of sucked.
What makes this story curious however is that they are announcing this now, when I wouldn't expect a Dr. Strange film to be released until August 2016 and even then you wouldn't really announce a director until later this year. Not to mention from what we know Ant-man still doesn't have a director which is even stranger (no pun intended) and it's suppose to be shooting a month to keep it's July release date. Now of course this might be more damage control from Marvel as even with the Josh Brolin as Thanos news it failed to divert attention off of the whole Wright situation.
Now this is just me conspiracy theorist but there has been a lot of talk around the movie sphere that they should either just cancel Ant-man all together or fast track another movie to replace it. Now Dr. Strange has been a property Marvel as been throwing around for a long time and if they are confident enough to announce the director than that leads me to believe the script will be almost finished. Also what if they took back the November release day but instead of putting Ant-man there they pushed him back to Auguest 2016 and put Dr. Strange in that place. It probably won't happen but hey a theory is a theory not to mention it might be good if they pushed it back so people could forget all the turmoil it's been under for the last couple days. Just a suggestion.
