The Flash, Lucifer, Quantico: They left us

sivertime — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:55:52 +0000

Unfortunately, in every competition, there are losers and winners. We decided to come back to the series that left us during this first week of Series World Cup!
This 2017 World Cup is absolutely intense! For this second week of competition, we find eight very tight duels. Each match pits two sets you selected, such as Pretty Little Liars faces Gray’s Anatomy . If at the start they were 32, they are now only 16, not forgetting the 4 series belonging to the special pool of the summer series. So there are 16 shows that have left us and do not pursue this adventure, even if they deserve their place. Obviously, as in every competition, you have to make choices and you have made them. This is not to say that we forget the losers and that is why we decided to pay them a small tribute!
The surprises :
They were 32, they are only 16, that’s the price to pay in a competition. Some of the series were eliminated when they were not expected at all. This is the case with The Flash. The friend of the Green Arrow did not manage to win against The Vampire Diaries and Stranger Things . The elimination of Lucifer and Quantico also surprised us, just like Reign , but they may be better next year!
Too popular opponents:
Other series have found themselves in chickens with opponents too strong for them and that is why they did not make the weight. Of course, we talk about Agents of SHIELD and Luke Cage who were in the same category as Teen Wolf and Pretty Little Liars . This was also the case with Prison Break and Orange is the New Black, who faced Arrow and Gray’s Anatomy, who was the group’s favorite . Yes, if they had fallen in front of other opponents, they might have qualified, but that’s all the unexpected of this competition!
We were expecting …
If these 32 series were competing at the 2017 World Cup, it was because they deserved it, but some failures are not great surprises … Shadowhunters was less likely to qualify than his opponents, Just like Supernatural or The OA . Even if they are quality shows, their audiences and their last seasons have not attracted enough interest from their fans. In any case, they will have fought honorably until the end! This competition continues to grow and we must not forget the surviving series.

Venom: Can the movie really work without the MCU?

sivertime — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 15:58:59 +0000

No, Venom will not be part of the MCU, it’s official. But can the film and its main character really work outside the film universe of Marvel?
Who says Venom says Spider-Man, right? Or at least, that is what one tends to think, one not going a priori without the other. Except that it is underestimating a little the ambitions of the studios, who see Spidey’s opponent a character powerful enough to carry his film alone. For while the hesitation was still of course not so long ago, Sony swept away in a sudden any possibility to see the Eddie Brock of Tom Hardy trim the tip of fat with the Peter Parker of Tom Holland. No, the Spider-Man spin-off on Venom will not be part of the MCU and the film, which will be directed by Ruben Fleischer, will remain completely independent. So no Spidey in red and blue, no Avengers nor even less attack of Chitauri or angry robots in the world of Venom. Good, very good. Except that it poses nevertheless a small problem, if one takes into account the very history of Eddie Brock. So, a movie on Venom that would be outside the MCU, can it really work?
Because it is necessary to admit one thing, the transformation of Eddie Brock in Venom is intimately related to Spider-Man, and in particular to his costume bearing the famous symbiote. In other words, the original story can not do without Spidey, which is well integrated into the MCU! And that, we did not need Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 to realize it. So does that mean that Spidey will exist in the universe of the movie Venom but that it will simply be mentioned? Even if the Avengers were present at his side? Unless the studios plan to offer it a whole new origin, which will not depend on the Weaver . After all, The villain of Venom will not be Spider-Man but Carnage , or another symbiote that depends on the very existence of Eddie Brock and his black costume. But in this case, it is the fans of the enemies of Peter Parker who risk raising a skeptical eyebrow (even worse). In short, a movie on Venom that fits totally out of the MCU seems at first glance to be a pretty bad idea, especially if the studios do not have a coherent overview. As Venom will not be the only character in Spider-Man’s universe to be entitled to his own feature film since Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, will also benefit from the same treatment in the years to come. It is the fans of the enemies of Peter Parker who risk raising a skeptical eyebrow (even worse). In short, a movie on Venom that fits totally out of the MCU seems at first glance to be a pretty bad idea, especially if the studios do not have a coherent overview. As Venom will not be the only character in Spider-Man’s universe to be entitled to his own feature film since Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, will also benefit from the same treatment in the years to come.

As Venom will not be the only character in Spider-Man’s universe to be entitled to his own feature film since Silver Sable and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, will also benefit from the same treatment in the years to come.
However, everything is not all black and there is still way for Venom – and the other spin-offs of Spider-Man – to work without the MCU . After all, an Eddie Brock embodied by Tom Hardy could be fascinating enough to follow his adventures without regretting the absence of Spidey and the rest of the Avengers. If the studios take the right angle to tell their duel against Carnage while finding a way to explain their existence without causing it to arise from the presence of Peter Parker, it may be that the film can stand up on its own. After all, we do not necessarily need the whole superhero team to tell the story of a super villain , even if this one comes from the Marvel stable.
Especially, Eddie Brock, like Silver Sable and Black Cat, is not a villain 100% villain, which leaves perhaps more room to explore his character without being confined to the role of super-villain . And if the studios take the time to establish a real coherence between the different films from the Spider-Man universe, then yes, the presence of the latter and of all the clique of the protagonists of the MCU will no longer be necessary. After all, does the publishing house Marvel not create a universe centered solely on Venom? So just keep your fingers crossed so that the film does not crash! What do you think ?

Arrow, Luke Cage, The Flash, The Defenders: Who of Marvel or DC Comics could win?

sivertime — Sat, 24 Jun 2017 19:48:41 +0000

While the 2017 World Cup is in full swing on Melty, who of Marvel or DC Comics is more likely to win the competition?
A match at the top! Yes, the meltynauts, if the 2017 World Cup sees 36 completely different shows , there is also a match in the match with a clash at the top between Marvel and DC Comics. Whether in the movies or on television, the two franchises are always in rivalry and this competition is no exception. But then, which of Marvel or DC Comics will manage to take the next step with class? All doubts are still allowed. Indeed, the places in the round of 16 are expensive and it is almost certain that all the series of superheroes will not be part. Let’s go back on the chances of these two franchises so present in our television landscape!
Marvel (Luke Cage, The Defenders, Agents of SHIELD)
On Marvel’s side, three series represent his colors. If Luke Cage is already available on Netflix, it is not the case of The Defenders which plays its place in the group of the series of the summer, since it will not be broadcast before August 18th. No way for her to win the competition. But Luke Cage was truly pleased by the fans who loved the street side of the show. However, she is currently competing with Teen Wolf, Pretty Little Liars and even with Agents of SHIELD. Faced with two giants that will end this year, the two Marvel series unfortunately do not leave favorites . If everything is still possible until the end, Difficult not to be worried about the franchise Marvel which risks losing its two competitors as early as next week. If you are an unconditional fan, it’s time to mobilize!
DC Comics (Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Lucifer)
DC Comics is represented by four series at this tournament including Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Lucifer. The first three are currently broadcast on the CW and have many fans. It must be said that they share the same universe and are brought together regularly over the episodes which allows viewers to attach more quickly . Not to mention preferences, we must admit that the DC Comics series enjoy a much more effective promotion than the Netflix / Marvel series. This is the case of Lucifer who is still supported by the FOX. However, nothing has yet been done since the latest estimates showed that ” They were all in danger and a big defeat was to be expected from the DC Comics series . And if finally none of the two franchises went on to the next step? It’s time to mobilize the guys! You are rather Team DC Comics or Team Marvel?

Venom: We know who will be Spider-Man’s spin-off villain

sivertime — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 14:32:25 +0000

Venom will of course have to face an opponent in his own spin-off. And, surprise, we already know the identity of the latter! And no, it’s not Spidey …
To bad, evil and half, of course. We saw it with Suicide Squad , in which the group of super villains faced an even more violent and destructive opponent than the sum of its united members. Because it is not because we are a villain that our opponents are necessarily superheroes in lycra multicolored! And we’ll have the opportunity to check again with Venom, Spider-Man’s spin-off with Tom Hardy , which was recently announced by Sony studios. As Spidey’s opponent, who is now partly with Marvel, who could Eddie Brock face in his own solo film? Because so much we like to see the bad guys just play the bad guys, It must be admitted that they are truly interesting only when they are measured against someone to their measure. So , we could summarize the question in these terms: to what other villain will the enemy of Spidey meet ? Melty can already provide you with an answer to this question.
Know that Venom will not be the only symbiote of the film. No, because his opponent will apparently be none other than … Carnage , the psychotic and violent offspring of Venom himself! If you’re a bit of a spider-man, you know that Eddie Brock once shared the cell of the serial killer Cletus Kasady and that the Venom symbiote eventually infected. And by thus transforming into a real machine to kill. For if Venom hates Spidey but avoids killing innocent people, Carnage does not feel this kind of scruple. And it is therefore normal that it represents the first opponent of Eddie Brock in his film solo. Or at least that’s what The Hollywood Reporter claims , who had the opportunity to speak with Tom Rothman, the president of Sony, About future plans that Sony is feeding for its Spiderverse. Because yes, it is indeed a Spiderverse that the studios seem to intend to create, which also justifies the fact that Venom will apparently not be part of the MCU . Anyway, Carnage will certainly represent an enemy at the height of Eddie Brock and the conflict between the two opponents is likely to be violent! What do you think ?

The Avengers Infinity War: Scarlett Johansson tease the number of superheroes present

sivertime — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 15:30:42 +0000

Yes, The Avengers: Infinity War is going to be massive and stuffed with superheroes! The proof, Scarlett Johansson has teaser their number and a scene apparently spectacular.
And yes, we come back to ask ourselves this good old question that has been haunting us for several months: how many superheroes will there really be in The Avengers: Infinity War ? Because in fact, as you remember, not long ago, there was a rather crazy rumor that nearly 60 heroes of all kinds would come together to confront Thanos and put an end to his ambitions. And good, 60, that’s a lot, even if the universe Marvel literally overflows characters that have not yet been exploited. And it’s not counting the villains who will join Thanos in The Avengers: Infinity War . Since there has not been much more detailed information on this subject, We were still wondering if the line-up of the superheroes would be truly as impressive as that. And that’s where Scarlett Johansson, aka Black Widow, comes on stage. For she has just made a little revelation that should delight more than one!
The actress was unable to avoid questions about The Avengers: Infinity War during an appearance on the set of the talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert . After hesitating a few moments, she still ended up teaser that, yes, there would be about sixty superheroes on screen ! Yes, the meltynauts, the Russo brothers apparently did not lie to us. But better still, Scarlett Johansson has evoked a massive scene in which several dozen heroes would be gathered. She said: ” I believe that in a particular scene, we are something like 32, we are a lot .” Ah, she can say it! As for the thirty missing, they will probably appear at the turn of one or two scenes, History to let them know that they exist and that they are ready to spin a hand. All you need to know is who will be all these superheroes. And for that, it will be necessary to redo all the Marvel, history to count those that have already been introduced, and take into account those to come, as for example Black Panther since Shuri, the sister of T’Challa could also be of the part In The Avengers: Infinity War ! What superheroes would you like to see in the movie? T’Challa’s sister could also be part of The Avengers: Infinity War ! What superheroes would you like to see in the movie? T’Challa’s sister could also be part of The Avengers: Infinity War ! What superheroes would you like to see in the movie?

Spider-Man Homecoming: Tom Holland unveils all the secrets of the Spider-Man costume

sivertime — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 16:10:46 +0000

The costume that Spidey wears in Spider-Man: Homecoming is a true technological marvel. And Tom Holland reveals today some secrets!
It must be said what is. Before meeting Tony Stark in Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) did not look … frankly very cool. With his homemade costume cut too large, he even looked rather ridiculous. What Tony Stark, the bard of elegance, knew how to remedy. And to make things right, he even added a few small features and some practical accessories that prove very useful to fight crime in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Moreover, Tom Holland, who recently revealed how the film would be different from the previous ones , did not hesitate to compare the holding of Spidey … a smartphone of last generation ! He declares, revealing the secrets of the superhero’s costume: ” It is almost like a technologically hyper advanced iPhone. He can do so many things. He helps him track people, listen to conversations and spot threats. It’s really a very, very cool way to integrate modern technology into the world of a superhero that was created a long time ago . “And again, for Tom Holland, there’s one thing about this costume that is even more interesting than all these extraordinary features!
Because you figure, the meltynauts, that Peter Parker himself does not know all that his costume can do! And that it risks to discover it little by little, by chance. So expect some rather delirious scenes in which our superhero will have to deal with the surprises of his outfit. Tom Holland tells the CNET website: ” I find that one of the most exciting elements of the film is that Peter does not know all the secrets and potential of his costume. Produces a lot of things without Peter asking for anything, which is really funny, and there’s a very, very funny scene in the movie where it happens . ” If that’s not teasing! That makes us think that even the inventions of the Builder, who unveiled on a picture of Spider-Man: Homecoming , will not know how to measure up! Sure, Peter Parker is likely to feel a bit naked when Tony Stark takes him back to his costume. How do you find Spidey’s costume?

Agents of SHIELD season 5: What can we expect from the sequel?

sivertime — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:19:27 +0000

What future for FitzSimmons? A jump in time? An intrigue in space? Jed Whedon (showrunner) and Jeff Bell (executive producer) tease Agents of SHIELD season 5!
Once is not custom, the season finale of season 4 of Agents of SHIELD left us with a lot of questions about what we could well book the writers for Season 5. The editorial of melty then offers To take stock of the rumors, spoilers and what was said by Jed Whedon, the show’s co-showrunner. We know, for example, that season 5 will start with a new leap in time, probably between the time they are all at dinner and the one where we find Coulson in the spacecraft . If it is not known how long it has passed, Jed Whedon confirmed the leap in time. Also, no words have been spoken about Ghost Rider and his presence or not in the next episodes. We know that to destroy AIDA, Coulson made a pact the devil and if this will certainly be explored in season 5, that does not mean that Robbie Reyes will be there for all that. Indeed, the showrunner Jed Whedon and executive producer Jeff Bell remained very secret about Ghost Rider during an interview for IGN .
But then, can we at least assume that season 5 will take place in space? “The sandbox [material from the Marvel universe available] in which we play continues to grow, and we want to explore every corner of it and tell as many stories as we can. We really liked that, so maybe we’re going to go back … We’re all, I think, terrified of what we’re going to do next season, The same way we were for this season , “said Jed Whedon. It is true that the series has accustomed us to a lot of renewal between these seasons and to offer us an intrigue in space would bring again a strong sense of renewal.
In any case, the Agents of SHIELD team does not seem ready to reveal anything about the plots, and we may have to wait until the Comic Con in San Diego to learn more . We will end this article with what could be a very bad news for fans and shippers of FitzSimmons since Jed Whedon said about their couple: “I think we can say with certainty after these two episodes that they ‘ Love and they will not love anyone else, but that does not mean they will be able to repair their relationship and all this pain. We hope they can because everyone supports FitzSimmons, fans And we also love the two actors and so I think seeing them together is a reward that fans deserve […

The Avengers Infinity War: Tom Holland teases the role of Spider-Man

sivertime — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 17:31:26 +0000

Tom Holland gave some clues as to what Spidey could do in The Avengers: Infinity War. Enough to make us listen.
Although we loved his performance in Captain America: Civil War , we must face the obvious: Spidey is the little new who still has to prove himself ! And this is one of his goals in Spider-Man: Homecoming, which, as Tom Holland told us, will be very different from other films for this reason. For Peter Parker intends to show himself worthy to join the Avengers, to be present when they meet to face Thanos. And this time, he intends to be in the heart of the action again throughout the film The Avengers: Infinity War . Or at least it is the impression that is taken from the words of his interpreter, Who somewhat confided about his experience on filming the huge Marvel production. And what he has done so far alongside his co-stars. Tom Holland has thus somehow teased the role that Spider-Man will hold in Infinity War . Or rather, the importance that he could quickly win in the Avengers!
Tom Holland revealed in an interview with Yahoo! Movies: ” It was a truly surreal experience.” When I played in Civil War, I only worked very briefly with Chris [Evans] and Robert [Downey Jr]. I’ve seen every one of them but I have not worked with them, but there I find myself in a situation where I’m on the set, shooting the scenes with All the others and fighting the bad guys, it’s a real whirlwind . Obviously, we did not expect Tom Holland to reveal too much about what’s going on on The Avengers: Infinity War . But to hear him, It would seem that Spidey finds himself at the heart of the action and that he is fighting Thanos and his henchmen with the same strength and determination as the rest of the Avengers. One can also draw from his remarks the idea that, at the time when the Russo brothers film is released, Peter Parker will be well integrated into the group . Perhaps even to the point of participating in the big Avengers catastrophe scene: Infinity War that was recently shot in Atlanta ! What do you think ? Perhaps even to the point of participating in the big Avengers catastrophe scene: Infinity War that was recently shot in Atlanta ! What do you think ? Perhaps even to the point of participating in the big Avengers catastrophe scene: Infinity War that was recently shot in Atlanta ! What do you think ?

Spider-Man Homecoming: How the film is very different from the previous ones according to Tom Holland

sivertime — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 17:25:19 +0000

If the Spider-Man Spidey: Homecoming is very different from these previous versions, it’s not just because of his age, as Tom Holland demonstrates!
It’s true, as has been said, was repeated. As soon as Spider-Man returned to the Marvel stables, the studios was quick to clarify their position. Yes, their spider-man would be very different from those interpreted by Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield in the sense that he would be much younger. Kind of going to high school, rather than university. But that’s not the only difference, obviously. Because it is necessary to forget a small detail that has nevertheless its importance: the Spideys of Sony did not belong to the MCU and therefore never crossed the way of Cap, Iron Man and the other Avengers . And that, believe it, melty, it changes a lot of things! Because, in addition to allowing Captain America to make a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming , It has a major impact on our weaver, on the way he must perceive himself and … on his final goals. And this is precisely what, for Tom Holland , makes it possible to differentiate in large part his incarnation of the character from those of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
The young actor said: ” I now think that the difference lies in the fact that Peter Parker now has a definite goal, and this goal is to become an Avenger.” Everything he does, He does it for the right reasons, he does so in order to be able to one day become an Avenger and prove what it is worth to Tony Stark. And I think we have never seen Spider-Man have this kind Of motivation before. “. So it must be believed that even though he took a few shots during his short participation in the Avengers fight against the Avengers in Civil War , Peter Parker very much wanted to join the group. And save the world by their side. This would explain why he puts his life in danger to protect those of others, At the risk of going back to Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming . Well, we know that Spidey will eventually join the ranks of the team. But in the meantime, it is true that it still has to prove itself . Come on, July 12 will be here soon and we will then be able to verify more fully what is worth this new incarnation of Spidey! Are you eager to see the film?

Justice League: Joss Whedon replaces Zack Snyder, good or bad news?

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 14:08:55 +0000

Joss Whedon will replace Zack Snyder at the head of the Justice League. Good or bad news for the film? Melty answers this question!
Spectators learned a few days ago: Zack Snyder had to withdraw from Justice League, which would have connections with Wonder Woman , following his daughter’s suicide. A decision supposed that forced Warner to find a new director to take care of the post-production of the film and the many reshoots . The lucky one? Joss Whedon, filmmaker behind the future film adaptation of the adventures of Batgirl . But then is this good news for fans of DC Comics? A priori, yes. Joss Whedon is none other than the man behind the Avengers’ first and second film adventure.
Two productions that have had both commercial and critical success. But that’s not all as Joss Whedon has also scripted several X-Men comics and is a reference of geek culture in the world. He is the author of numerous cult series such as Firefly or Buffy vampires . Shows that have always managed to juggle several strong characters like those of the Justice League (a battle with Superman was teased) . In other words, for many Internet users, the choice is perfect. A choice that should allow Zack Snyder to take time for him and mourn the recent events. And you, what do you think of this choice?

The Avengers Infinity War: Stan Lee tease the arrival of an emblematic Marvel character

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 14:05:08 +0000

Will an emblematic character of the Marvel make his appearance in The Avengers Infinity War? This is what Stan Lee seems to have escaped in an interview …
All fans of comics can only know Stan Lee. The famous artist behind the birth (and co-birth) of many superheroes emblematic of American culture. The author appears regularly in the films of the Marvel franchise and the next meeting of the Avengers, The Avengers Infinity War (of which a huge catastrophe scene was shot in Atlanta) should not escape this rule. In an interview about this, the man let a little confidence escape. The latter has teased that an emblematic character of Marvel , never before seen on big screen, should make its appearance in this episode!
But then who could it be? On the web, fans are already wondering. Many think of Captain Marvel , whose role is officially endorsed by Brie Larson (who described the heroine as “believing in truth & justice”) . But with Marvel, fans are never immune to a surprise! Other names are evoked like Miss Hulk, Hulk Rouge or Namor … In short, it will be necessary to wait until the exit of the Infinity War to discover it. But one thing is certain: the temperature rises on the internet among the aficionados of comics. It must be said that this next blockbuster promises a lot to fans of the genre … And you, what do you think?

Justice League: What future for the DC universe after Zack Snyder’s departure?

sivertime — Tue, 23 May 2017 18:29:13 +0000

Justice League will have to finish without Zack Snyder. But if it was the same for the future?
After replacing Zack Snyder by Joss Whedon for Justice League after a family drama , a lot of questions arise. Warner / DC’s upcoming film after Wonder Woman will not be overly impacted since the shooting is already over and Joss Whedon will mostly have to do a post production job. But what about the future of the DC film universe? For better or for worse, Zack Snyder remains the main architect of the project since its creation , and that its absence more or less prolonged could change quite a lot. It is extremely difficult to see him leave his baby totally but a withdrawal of medium-long duration is a possibility.
When it does not realize, it is either to the production or to the writing of other films DC Comics and this vacuum must be filled. We know already since last year that Geoff Johns, the creative director of DC Comics, is in charge of the construction of the DC film universe and it could well take an increasingly important place to fill the huge void left by Snyder. The real question here is whether the director’s absence will be felt in the coming years, even if it lasts only a few months, with a Geoff Johns who will have imposed his vision, because the Warner can not afford To fall behind on a schedule that is set to the nearest millimeter.
The other thing to consider is of course Joss Whedon, because he made two Avengers movies and he knows exactly how to build a superhero universe and create a credible and catchy group dynamic. But it is also known that the director was bored after his work at Marvel and so he might not want to invest beyond Justice League in building the DCEU, although Joss Whedon will handle the film on Batgirl . So it is the big unknown on this side but it would not be surprising to see the Warner courting the man to give him responsibilities to make the universe DC something as viable as that of Marvel. Do you think there will be change?

When Hollywood chooses white actors for “color” characters, whitewashing without pressure

sivertime — Fri, 12 May 2017 15:57:10 +0000

It starts to squeal more and more teeth on the other side of the Atlantic and in the world …
Concretely, whitewashing is a practice of entrusting roles of “color” characters (fictional or real) to white actors, in the mercantile idea that the public will be more sensitive to them. It is enough to stir up snobbish communities, and in general all those who are attached to a fairer representation of minorities in the cinema . One of the latest examples: the film “Ghost in the Shell” , whose main role was spun to Scarlett Johansson while the heroine is … Japanese. In protest, actress Michele Selene (seen in “13 reasons why” ) posted on February 27th this photo on Instagram,
But Scarlett, Emma, Tilda and Matt are far from being the only ones …
Tony Mendez / Ben Affleck (Argo)
His story served as a plot for the film “Argo” , which tells how he saved six American diplomats during the hostage crisis in Iran in 1979. Tony Mendez is a CIA agent of Mexican origin and ‘Is however Ben Affleck (director of the film) who slipped into his costume as a hero of the nation.
Moses / Christian Bale and Ramses / Joel Edgerton (Exodus: Gods and Kings)
Even with the maxi-dose of eyeliner and terracotta, the subterfuge did not deceive anyone. No, Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton do not have heads to go incognito in Egypt . Ridley Scott has played fairly well in Variety: “I can not make a film of this budget with a main actor named Mohammed . ”
Seth / Gerard Butler and Horus / Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Gods of Egypt) but also Noah / Russell Crowe (Noah)
See the paragraph above.
Prince Dastan / Jake Gyllenhaal (Prince of Persia)
What? Did you seriously imagine that Hollywood was going to shoot the main role of this film adaptation to an Arab? (Or a Persian, it’s the same for them anyway).
Khan Noonien Singh / Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness)
In “Space Speed” , the episode of the series that inspired “Into Darkness” , and which introduced Khan’s character for the first time, the latter is a Sikh, an ethnic group that lives to the north of the India . In other words, not much to do with the very British Benedict Cumberbatch, who took over the role in 2013 in JJ Abrams’ film.
Katniss Everdeen / Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games)
In the literary work of Suzanne Colins, Katniss Everdeen is described as a dark-skinned girl with dull skin, like most of the inhabitants of District 12 . A detail not embarrassed the producers of the film who only auditioned “white” actresses .
Sangoku / Justin Chatwin (Dragon Ball Evolution)
To the horror of the movie “Dragon Ball Evolution” , of which the writer has personally apologized , the producers added a dose of “whitewashing” which is very badly passed to the fans . We want Goku and his friends not to stick too much to the average Japanese, but from there to inflict the little American student (and his hat Vivelle Dop), there is a margin …
Ra’s al Ghul / Liam Neeson (Batman Begins)
Ra’s al Ghul is a fierce enemy of Batman. He is a native of North Africa . In other words, a distant Ballymena region in Northern Ireland, where Liam Neeson was born, the actor who camped the super-villain in “Batman Begins” and then “The Dark Night Rises” .
Brandi Boski / Mena Suvari (Stuck)
One of the strangest choices in the list. The film “Stuck” tells the story of Brandi Bolski, a young nurse who unintentionally overturned a homeless person, who came into his windshield. Instead of warning, Brandi took the body to her home in her garage. It turns out that this is a true story, inspired by the unhappy destiny of Chante Jawal Mallard, an African-American . But the director Stuart Gordon preferred to take a “white” actress , Mena Suvari, to interpret the role. Which gives a somewhat weird situation, where the lady (who has made African tresses for the occasion) hangs only with her group of friends Afro. The same friends, Will help conceal the body. It was a good thing some Blacks slipped somewhere.
The Elder / Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange)
If we are on the side of the readers of comics, the film “Doctor Strange” offered a double betrayal regarding the person of the Ancient: not only it is a guy, but besides that, it is Tibetan . Nothing to see then with Tilda Swinton …
Eugene Simonet / Kevin Spacey (A Better World)
In the novel “Pay it Forward” on which the film “A Better World” is based , the hero is an African-American who is called Reuben St. Clair . A background totally ignored by the director, who for this “positive” character preferred to take a white man in the person of Kevin Spacey, to rename him Eugene Simonet.
Irene / Carey Mulligan (Drive)
We can not take it off, Carey Mulligan is just great in “Drive” . Only a little worry, in the original book, Irene is not a small Caucasian blonde, but a young Latina . Director Nicolas Winding Refn said he was looking for this type of actress at Mulligan, a mix of innocence and vulnerability, “that we want to protect . ” Understood, a Latina does not need to be protected … He added that it was easier to establish a romance between two characters having the same background. Eva Mendes, in partnership with Ryan Gosling in real life, will be happy to learn it.
All the casting of the “Last Master of Air”
Even if one remains in the genre fantasy, the universe of the literary saga “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is directly imbued with Asian culture , whether it is in the martial arts, mythology, costumes … Or , The film of Night Shyamalan has no Asian actor among the main roles, which has earned him many critics. Worse, the role of great villain was entrusted to the swarthy Dev Patel …
All the cast of “Las Vegas 21”
Ben Campbell is a small genius from MIT, who along with other brilliant mathematics students, has scammed several casinos from Vegas to blackjack. A true story told in the film “Las Vegas 21”, which nevertheless obscures the fact that the majority of the protagonists, including Ben Campbell, are of Asian origin . Feeling the wind of controversy happen, the director has hastily incorporated a couple of asiat ‘to the cast. Far from being enough to calm the cries to “whitewashing” …

The Guardians of Galaxy 2: What does Stan Lee’s Cameo mean?

sivertime — Mon, 08 May 2017 18:27:30 +0000

Unlike usual, Stan Lee’s cameo of La Galaxie Vol 2 is probably far from trivial. But what could he mean?
To see a Marvel film, it is necessarily to expect some tasty cameos! And The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 obviously does not depart from the rule, slipping here and there a few surprises (hello again, Howard!). And then, of course, there is the eagerly awaited appearance of the great general Marvel, Stan Lee himself , without which the film would not have been complete. Besides, its sequence is not at all innocuous! Indeed, the post-generic scenes of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 have been much studied and what they meant for the rest of the MCU and for our heroes themselves. But we have not yet had the opportunity to decipher this strange cameo of Stan Lee and talk about these aliens a little weird with whom he trim the fat. Because imagine, meltynauts, that these characters occupy a special place in the comics Marvel ! And they could have a very special meaning in this scene.
Remember, we meet Stan Lee in The Keepers of the Galaxy Vol 2 at the bend of a planet so Rocket, Yondu, Kalgrin and Groot jump from one end of the galaxy to the other to find the world of Ego . The character of Stan Lee is then in great conversation with a group of aliens to which he tells his voyages. And fans of Marvel comics will certainly recognize them, especially thanks to their look so special! They are actually Guardians – or Watchers in original version – that are part of the oldest extraterrestrial races . And their mission is simple: observe the universe and compile all aspects and all events. To say that it is a sacred task! The Guardians were mentioned for the first time in the comics in 1963 in the series ”
To find out, you have to take ALL of Stan Lee’s caméos in the Marvel movies (and yes, that’s a lot). Because according to a certain theory, the character of the founder of Marvel would in fact … Uatu himself, the first Guardians to have appeared in the comics . And it did not take long for Kevin Feige to confirm this hypothesis in an interview with Screen Rant! He said: ” We thought it would be fun to put this scene in the film because we said to ourselves:” Wait a second, it’s the same character that appears in all the films. “”. This cameo is far from trivial and suggests that there is a real continuity between the different appearances of Stan Lee. The guy just spent his time traveling the galaxy to gather information and knowledge all over the place. And so one can imagine that he relates to the other Guardians all that he has learned. Except that these apparently do not seem very impressed … This is obviously not the last time we see Stan Lee, since he will also make a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming . What to add new elements to the legend! What did you think of this cameo? Since he will also make a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming . What to add new elements to the legend! What did you think of this cameo? Since he will also make a cameo in Spider-Man: Homecoming . What to add new elements to the legend! What did you think of this cameo?

The Defenders: 3 things to remember from the long awaited trailer!

sivertime — Thu, 04 May 2017 19:01:53 +0000

The trailer of The Defenders, which will arrive on our screens on August 18, has finally been unveiled by Netflix. That is what must be remembered!
After months or even years of waiting we’ll soon be able to discover the series The Defenders which includes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist . We are particularly looking forward to seeing them all meet and we can now get a first glimpse of what lies ahead as Netflix unveiled yesterday’s first trailer of The Defenders . This trailer is all we expected, and more! The series will be available on Netflix on August 18, and in addition to finding the four superheroes together, there will also be the presence of a lot of characters from each of their universes. This is already very promising, especially after the disappointment that could be Iron Fist .
The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, that, that’s it, finally, our four superheroes are together. They all live in the same city and yet it took a long time before their paths crossed. However, one should not expect an easy and immediate agreement between these four characters as independent as different . The only one that stands out is – without too many surprises – Danny Rand who already shows in the trailer the joy he feels to have found a group of heroes like him. Not everyone shares his point of view – is not it Jessica ?! – and we already feel that the interactions between these four strong heads promise to be both complicated and funny.
Elektra is back! Netflix had already a little teased the possible resurrection of his character and we can only rejoice. Elektra brought a real plus to season 2 of Daredevil , we love his side impertinent and uninhibited. The question that now arises is: in what camp will it be? The pictures show Elektra fighting but seeing how she sends Matt through a window, we tend to think that she will be part of the enemies of the Defenders . Did she accept her destiny to be the Black Sky, leader of the Hand? Finally, we had our first glimpse of the great villain of the season: Alexandra, interpreted by the brilliant and talented Sigourney Weaver (Alien) . If we do not yet know what she wants, We can hear him say to them: “The more ties you have, the easier it will be for me to break you . ” She seems quite charming so. We imagine that they, and their loved ones – who will find our greatest pleasure in the series – will once again be in serious danger. And not to change, the city of New York will also be. While waiting to be able to discover all this next August, we propose you to see or to review the pictures promo of The Defenders , on melty. What do you think ? As well as their loved ones – whom we will find for our greatest pleasure in the series – will once again be in serious danger. And not to change, the city of New York will also be. While waiting to be able to discover all this next August, we propose you to see or to review the pictures promo of The Defenders , on melty. What do you think ?

Thor Ragnarok: How can Thor recover his hammer?

sivertime — Mon, 01 May 2017 18:17:17 +0000

In the trailer of Thor Ragnarok, one can see Hela destroy the Mjolnir of Thor. But will the God of Thunder finally recover his hammer, and how?
What would Thor do without his hammer, the Mjolnir? We wonder and we will soon discover! Yes, because if you remember the explosive trailer of Thor Ragnarok , it was destroyed , broken into a thousand pieces by the terrible Hela, incarnated by Cate Blanchett . A radical change for Thor, who will have to learn to do without. But can he recover his Mjolnir afterwards and above all, how? For he could clearly need it if he wants to fight Thanos in The Avengers 3: Infinity War . According to moviepilot , there are several solutions to this problem. The first and most logical way would be simply to ask Odin, his father, to forge a new hammer. Only small obstacle: We know absolutely not where the King of Asgard passed. The latter was replaced by Loki at the end of the second part and it is unclear where he disappeared. At least Thor does not know, because according to what we learned from the filming, the latter would have taken refuge on Earth, wandering the streets of New York and unrecognizable. If we can reassure ourselves that Odin can not forge a new Mjolnir in Thor, the God of Thunder can count on another valuable help: that of Dr. Strange .
This last one was introduced to us last year in the film of the same name and if you remember well, in the end, he talked with Thor. What’s more, he is the Supreme Sorcerer and manipulates magic and matter with agility. And most importantly, it has the Eye of Agamotto, which has the power to control time. The latter could very well use it to recover the Mjolnir of Thor before it is destroyed. Otherwise, it is imagined that Dr. Strange could also simply create a new one for him. Everything is possible with magic! In any case, one thing is certain, Dr. Strange will have a role to play in Thor Ragnarok since it was announced to the cast . If not, there is another way for Thor to get his hammer, which is found in the comic Thor Vol. 1 # 388 . In this one, Thor fights against a Celestial Being named Exitar, who then breaks his hammer. Finally, the Celestial Beings and Thor finally make peace and they then repair to him his Mjolnir. Given that The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 introduced his first Celestial Being, Thor Ragnarok might well introduce another as well. With Hela in the vicinity, ready to wreak havoc, the Celestial Beings could get involved and help Thor to recover his beloved hammer. And you what do you think ? 2 introduced his first Celestial Being, Thor Ragnarok might well introduce another as well. With Hela in the vicinity, ready to wreak havoc, the Celestial Beings could get involved and help Thor to recover his beloved hammer. And you what do you think ? 2 introduced his first Celestial Being, Thor Ragnarok might well introduce another as well.

Disney, which owns Marvel Studio in addition to Lucas Film, took the opportunity to unveil a second trailer. And this trailer is the one that signs the return of the famous Nordic God: Thor. In Thor Ragnarok (including a major comic book character Planet Hulk will be played by the director) , the hero will face events that endanger the world of Asgard. For the occasion, the film will rely heavily on a shifted tone and 80 ‘adopted by its director Taïka Waititi . A fun side that can already be seen in a colorful and rhythmic trailer by Immigrant Song . Thor Ragnarok will be a new treat for the fans of Marvel before the release of Infinity War .
But April was also the month of the castings, in addition to that of the trailers. First, Jude Law was announced as the next Dumbledore in The Fantastic Animals .

It is the second character Marvel that the actor will play after Thanos who will be the great villain of the super-heroic meeting Infinity War . The choice of Josh Brolin is surely not insignificant since it will require the actor a great compatibility with Ryan Reynolds to enter this universe Marvel different from those produced by Disney . With this announcement, the Fox surprised many internet users: for several months the websites of the world announced the possibility to see several other actors get the role.
Let’s say it: Fast and Furious 8 was a great commercial success for Universal. One of the reasons for this success is obviously the presence of the colossus Dwayne Johnson and the Englishman Jason Statham. It’s simple: all the scenes between the characters were enjoyable and interspersed with big punchlines . It is not for nothing that Universal has planned a spin-off featuring this little duo that revealed itself in the eighth episode. Little information about this adventure without the “family” at the moment but one thing can be sure is that the chase races will be replaced by bare-hand action scenes. The domain of choice of the two men!
Between the trailer of the Last Jedi and Thor Ragnarok , the month of April was rather generous with the fans.

In the comic book The Infinity Gauntlet , Nebula enjoys a battle between Thanos and Marvel heroes to capture the Glove of the Infinite.

Thor Ragnarok: A major figure of Planet Hulk embodied by the director

sivertime — Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:09:09 +0000

In addition to being a director, Taika Waititi, who directed Thor Ragnarok, is also an actor. He will play in his own film a major character of Planet Hulk.
The next adventure of the Nordic God, Thor Ragnarok , will be directed by filmmaker Taika Waititi. But the latter is also known for his work as an actor and has played in … the movie Green Lantern (yes, the one with Ryan Reynolds!). What’s more normal to what man embodies a character in the next Marvel story to take even more foot? A role that will not recognize Taika Waititi since it will be entirely based on motion-capture technology, already used by Josh Brolin (who will play Cable in Deadpool 2) to camp Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This character incarnated by the filmmaker will be none other than … Korg !
Korg is part of the Kronan race and has fought Thor in comics. The chances of seeing them sintering with the Nordic God on the big screen are therefore quite high! Not to mention that Korg also teamed up with Hulk, the famous Avenger who did not hesitate to attack Thor in the first trailer of the film … In short, Thor Ragnarok (whose Asgard could have been destroyed because of a Gem of The Infinite) promises a multitude of new characters to enlarge the universe Marvel to the cinema . As a reminder, the character played by Taika Waititi possesses a skin that gives him great resistance, is as strong as Hulk while being an excellent fighter. It promises ! What do you think ?

Spider-Man Homecoming: A Prometheus actor joins the cast in a villainous role

sivertime — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:10:33 +0000

Vulture, Shocker and Le Bricoleur will not be the only bad guys Spider-Man will have to face. A new one is added to the board, played by Logan Marshall Green.

When Sony and Marvel reached an agreement to bring Spider-Man back to the MCU, they promised us that we would not re-stuff the villains of the previous two trilogies. And although our new spider-man Tom Holland will not have to deal with villains like Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Lizard, Electro or even Venom, there’s still a lot of potential to exploit. Like Vulture, who will be the great villain of this first solo film, embodied by Michael Keaton, but also Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine), whose costume was unveiled on a new image , and Le Bricoleur (Michael Chernus). And today we can add one more to the list of the many bad guys that Spider-Man will have to face! Yes, we are only three months from the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming and we discover new casting actors! This is the case today with the announcement of the presence of a Prometheus actor , Logan Marshall Green , to the cast. And according to MCU Exchange, it would embody a villainous villain of the comics: Montana .
Montana, also called Jackson Brice, was created by the original team of Steve Ditko and Stan Lee himself, in 1964, in the series The Amazing Spider-Man . He is one of the founding members of the team of villains The Enforcers . Does this mean that the Marvel studios are looking to exploit this team in future Spider-Man movies? Or the way DC Comics and his Suicide Squad , in a film entirely dedicated to these villains? In more recent comics, Montana also played Kingpin’s right arm in Dan Slott’s Big Time arc . Can we imagine the presence of Kingpin in future Spider-Man movies and therefore hope for a crossover with the Daredevil series ? One thing is for sure, Our Spider-Man will have a hard time if he has to confront four different villains in Spider-Man: Homecoming . But there’s no doubt that Spider-Man, with his super costume created by Tony Stark, whose secrets have been revealed , will not have too much trouble sending them away from where they come from. And you, what do you think of Montana?

The Avengers Infinity War: An Important Role for Hela (Thor Ragnarok)?

sivertime — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 18:00:39 +0000

According to a new theory, under Hela, the villain of Thor Ragnarok, would hide in reality another very important personage of the universe Marvel.
Finally ! After long months of waiting, the first trailer of Thor: Ragnarok was unveiled yesterday , more epic than ever. In particular, we have had a first glimpse of Hela, the evil person incarnated by Cate Blanchett . Very dark, glacial, Hela also seems very powerful since it is in particular capable of destroying the hammer of Thor, Mjolnir. In the Marvel universe, only a few characters are able to control his hammer and this is a sign of great power! Between that and the destruction of Asgard and a good part of New York, Hela is terribly scary. And if behind this evil bloodthirsty villain actually hid another character from the universe Marvel? Fans believe that it is an alternative version of Lady Death, or Death, In French, which is none other than the great love of Thanos in comics. And if it was she who was actually hiding behind the Machiavellian plan of Thanos that is to recover the Stones of the Infinite? In comics, a scenario elaborated in an episode of Captain Marvel presents Thanos’ plan to conquer the universe, determined to prove his love for Lady Death / Death by destroying all life.
A plan that he could easily carry out with the Glove of the Infinite and the Stones of the Infinite. And so, so, the real villain of The Avengers 3: Infinity War was not Thanos but Death, aka Hela? The latter has in any case much in common with Lady Death, depicted in comics as a very white woman dressed in a black dress and whose sole purpose is to kill and kill again and again . The resemblance is in any case striking and the role of Hela in Infinity War could therefore be strongly similar to that of Lady Death in the comics Marvel. After, maybe the Russo brothers chose to portray a different story, with no love story between Thanos and Hela, But which does not prevent the two diabolical beings from allying with one common goal: to destroy the universe. That would certainly cause the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy trouble, knowing that Thanos will also be accompanied by the Black Order . One thing is for sure, The Avengers 3: Infinity War promises to be bloody. And you, what do you think of this theory?

Logan: The most profitable Wolverine film of the franchise?

sivertime — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 16:08:22 +0000

Was Logan the Wolverine movie that brought in the most money from the franchise? The first figures answer this question.
By agreeing to pass Logan under the ban at least 17 years old, the famous “Rated R” , Fox took a big risk. A risk all the same minimized by Deadpool which with its small budget became the most profitable film under this label. Logan (whose concept-arts revealed what the Reavers prosthetics looked like) will he join his mutant companion (with whom he is used to frying in comics) becoming the Wolverine who has reported the most The franchise ? It would seem that yes … X-Men Origins: Wolverine had for example reported $ 373,062,864 for a budget of $ 150,000,000 . Rather honorable.
Wolverine: The Immortal Combat had done much better with a budget of $ 120,000,000 for $ 414,828,246 in revenue. Logan, of which Hugh Jackman would have liked a different end , is truly the most profitable franchise with a budget of $ 97,000,000 and – for now – $ 500,000,000 won worldwide. A figure above its predecessors whereas the film has cost much less (and is still exploited in hundreds of rooms!). It is the director James Mangold who must be glad to have been able to impose a film with a limited budget and violence that could have limited the entries. What do you think of these figures?

Spider-Man Homecoming: For Anthony Mackie (The Falcon), Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man

sivertime — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 18:30:28 +0000

After Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland will be the third actor to take on the role of Spider-Man. And according to Anthony Mackie, we do not have too much to worry about.
Finally ! After years of unsustainable waiting for fans of Spider-Man, the man-spider joined the MCU! He was introduced to Captain America: Civil War in the guise of Tom Holland and next July, we will discover his new adventures in his solo film, Spider-Man Homecoming ! After Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland will be the third actor to put on the costume of the spider-man at the cinema. But will it be better than them? According to Anthony Mackie, alias the Falcon in the films Captain America and Avengers , there is no doubt! Interviewed about him at the Wizard World Cleveland this weekend, the actor actually said: “I think he’s going to be a Spider-Man badass. I think he’s going to be the best Spider-Man of all time . ” And he is obviously not the only one to think so since Tom Holland has already received his first award for his role as Spider-Man by winning the BAFTA of Best Hope in January.
And then, just see the actor chill in his suit in front of the Avengers tower on a new poster to see that he has something extra. Funny, cool, young, a little way Andrew Garfield, except that on top of all that, he will have as a friend other superheroes, like Iron Man, who will play a real mentoring role for him. And again, this is only the beginning, since afterwards it will be found in The Avengers 3 Infinity War . And apparently, the shooting happens quite well, in view of the first video unveiled , with Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Pratt, aka Star-Lord! In short, we are really glad that Spider-Man joined the MCU, because what they planned to do with it is rather promising! But already, We will discover the new version of his story just to him on July 12 , and just that, we can not wait to see what it gives! And you, what do you think of Tom Holland for now?

Will Hawk die in The Avengers Infinity War? His interpreter, Anthony Mackie, responded to this thorny question among fans …
The next Avengers may be very complicated for heroes. The latter will face a rather formidable enemy, Thanos, and many of them may die as a result of this adventure . Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Vision, The Red Witch … nobody is safe from dying under the onslaught of an uncompromising and merciless enemy. Anthony Mackie, the Hawk’s interpreter, returned to The Avengers Infinity War, where a female character from Thor Ragnarok might be at a Q & A at Wizard World Cleveland . The question was about the fate of his character in the film (then then) so if you want to avoid spoilers , we advise you to stop there!
Anthony Mackie told the fans: “I only read 5 pages of the script and they were really good, but I was alive in those 5 pages, it’s in my contract, I’m not dying. I’m not going anywhere . ” This is news that should reassure future viewers of The Avengers Infinity War, whose first photo of Vision on the set is available . Of course, there is no indication that the winged hero will not perish during the next MCU movies, but for Infinity War , it’s already folded! With this film, Kevin Feige makes a big bet: to bring together the most superheroes of the universe Marvel in a huge film with a colossal budget.

sivertime — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 18:50:35 +0000

In a recent interview, the actress Cate Blanchett explained what were the different inspirations to design her makeup!
The next episode of Thor Ragnarok, of which Tom Hiddleston boasted an incredible visual film , unveiled some original costumes. And for good reason: his director compared his Marvel to the famous film of John Carpenter, The Adventures of Jack Burton in the clutches of the Mandarin . Cate Blanchett, who will play Hela, a goddess of Nordic origins, and came back for Yahoo on the aesthetic inspirations of her makeup . A makeup that will have divided the fans but whose originality can not be denied. With Thor Ragnarok , the director seems to propose a colorful universe and abandoning the dark side of the last films stamped Marvel.
The actress said, “When I started thinking about what Hela might look like, I turned to the fanbase, all the girls who reproduced and created the makeup of the character on YouTube. I talked with Marvel about the look of Hela when she was no longer wearing her mask and they were really open to my suggestions . ” We want to say: who can refuse an idea of the great Cate Blanchett , actress rewarded many times (including two Oscars)? Thor Ragnarok, whose more details about the plot were revealed , can thank his huge fanbase for having inspired Marvel Studios for the makeup of Hela!

Deadpool 2: The writers describe the perfect actor to play Cable

sivertime — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 17:55:00 +0000

The Deadpool 2 screenwriters are still looking for the ideal cable and have not hesitated to swing the characteristics of the perfect actor.
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, both screenwriters of Deadpool 2 , were recently present at a press conference of the film LIFE – Origin Iconnue (a first excerpt with Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal was unveiled) that they also script. Comicbook.com was able to ask them what was the ideal candidate to incarnate Cable, of which many rumors evoked for example Pierce Brosnan. Reply ? “We think it must be intimidating, frightening … someone who also has a sense of humor, it must be funny because it will have to play with Ryan Reynolds. There will be real dramas and real stakes, it is a difficult role ”
You will have understood: the actor who will play Cable in Deadpool 2 (of which Zazie Beetz was cast in the role of Domino) will have to constitute a duo of shock with Ryan Reynolds. It must be said that the actor fought hard to revive the hero on the big screen after the fiasco of his treatment in the film Wolverine . Not to mention the fact that in interview, the star tends to have the same slightly borderline humor as the hero known for his often very funny traits of mind. Note that the scriptwriter duo also stated that the information around Deadpool 2 was going to rain quickly over the months. Of course, we will not forget to keep you informed of all this.
