captainkev Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I agree, but Warner Brothers have pretty much admitted that if Man of Steel doesn't meet their expectations then they won't go ahead with a JLA movie. Maybe it's a desperate cynical ploy by Warner Brothers? To get DC comics fans who aren't particularly keen on Superman but who do want a JLA movie to go see Man of Steel just to bump up their profits? It's Hollywood so you wouldn't put it past them. I honestly think Warner Brothers will go ahead with a JLA movie at some point in the next couple of years regardless of how well this Superman film does. They'll be looking at Marvel Studios and the profits The Avengers brought in with seriously envious eyes. They'll be all too aware that this desire for comic book films by general audiences won't remain at the level that it is at the moment. Warner Brothers are going to want to strike while the iron is hot and there still a keen interest in superhero films amongst the mass cinema going audiences. I can't see Warner Brothers choosing not to make a JLA film unless Man of Steel is an unmitigated commercial and critical disaster. We're agreed though that is unlikely to fail on a commercial level though so I don't think we need to worry about Man of Steel being a serious risk to a future JLA film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I think the problem with the JLA film is that there is still too much ground work to do on other character origins - wonder woman, Flash, Martian Man Hunter, Aqua Man, Hawk Girl etc If they are serious about challenging Marvel they need to get these films out quick while the interest is there post Batman/Superman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 All of this while Marvel continue to own them with, Iron Man 3, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-man, Thor 2, Avengers 2 and Captain America 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 All of this while Marvel continue to own them with, Iron Man 3, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-man, Thor 2, Avengers 2 and Captain America 2. Marvel have had a plan and story arc in place for everything for a while now. If they wanted to they even have a plan for various movies culminating in Avengers 3 in 2017. Depends on how Avengers 2 and the related films do though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Think after the success of the Avengers it will push the sales of the other titles through as well Plus there is still Xmen, FF4 remake, rumour of another Hulk film, Spiderman 2.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is another Hulk film, it won't be until after the second Avengers movie. Ruffalo came out and said a couple of months back.

Theres rumours that the human torch is going to be played by a African American actor, and Marvel geeks are being accused of Racism because they are pointing out that the Human torch is white. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that, but more because Susan Storm would have to be african american(-ish) as well...right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the way forward if you look at the Kingpin in Daredevil, SLJ as Nick Fury and the half black/hispanic Spiderman as well. I can understand opening the door and making it racially more diverse but whats next a Chinese Dr Doom? Im not racist but same changes can work ok others are just forced for my namesake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems as it's apples and oranges in general but, I just don't know how much of a baring it has on the original F4's origins with their parents and how the more devout fans would take it. As you've said, it has worked tremendously well with Kingpin and Nick Fury 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I think the problem with the JLA film is that there is still too much ground work to do on other character origins - wonder woman, Flash, Martian Man Hunter, Aqua Man, Hawk Girl etc If they are serious about challenging Marvel they need to get these films out quick while the interest is there post Batman/Superman There's already a Flash movie in pre-production, presumably waiting on the go ahead for JLA movie before it starts proper work. I think they'd just go with Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash and Wonder Woman. No need for any of the rest. SLJ as Nick Fury and the half black/hispanic Spiderman as well. Nick Fury is black in the Ultimates universe comics (and he was drawn to look exactly like Jackson) so that wasn't a casting choice made with racial diversity in mind. Hell, maybe they wanted to distance themselves from the awful Hasselhoff version too. Miles Morales is completely different from changing Human Torch to being black. He's a completely new Spider-man in the comics. It might come across as forcing the issue if you cast someone purely just to try and seem racially diverse. Of course, it can work and Michael Clarke Duncan did a fantastic job as Kingpin and I have no doubts Jamie Foxx will be great as Electro in the upcoming Spider-man flick but it might not work with Human Torch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with diversity and all that, more power to them, but some white characters wouldnt work at all if they were another ethinicity, i cant picture an Indian James Bond for example. But regarding my OP, if they do decide to cast a African American actor as The Human Torch, if they can pull it off without making any major alterations to the character then go ahead IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 ? In the new comics, Spider-man isn't Peter Parker anymore. It's a half hispanic, half black kid called Miles Morales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
