Please no. He does not possess the capacity to create real emotional depth in characters; his logic regarding set and setting is awful; he constantly rips off other, better artists; therefore he needs to stay away from the MCU, and preferably all filmmaking for the rest of eternity.

JJ Abrams is an over-rated hack. His time travel crap ruined Star Trek and his Star Wars movies are just retreads of the originals with a bigger Death Star. I liked Cloverfield & Super 8, but most of his stuff is derivative crap.

Reed Richards IS the CEO of the Hanso Foundation. 

anything is an upward move after Trank.

Which is a real shame because the third, not directed by Abrams, was the best yet. 

Isn’t that overhead one of the notable reasons why the Star Trek film series ended up being such a loss maker and now cancelled? I can see why Paramount are dumping him when really he’s been rather overhyped on the back of Cloverfield and not much else of late quite frankly.

Also - Last Jedi still sucks

Recent? It says on Wikipedia that Leslie’s family’s ancestral seat dates all the way back to the 15th century.

Fun fact: Harington and Leslie are both descended from relatively recent British nobility.

The problem with bringing in Blade to the MCU is you bring a world full of vampires with him. From that point on, logically, SHIELD, the Defenders, the Avengers, etc. should be locked in an endless war against the vampire nation. It’s like suddenly adding the X-Men and pretending like the mutants were just always…

Goyer created Whistler for the movie

I’ve long maintained that Goyer is the weakest link of any project he’s a part of.

This would make it the first and only time Goyer wrotea script for a good movie.

Blade is basically the second pre-MCU/Nolanbat “genre superhero” movie series after Burton’s Batman.

Disney’s definitely the lesser of two evils compared to Comcast.

Fox is selling anyway. They made the internal decision to refocus their company. The other largest bidder, other than Disney, was Comcast. Would you rather see 20th Century Fox’s film and TV division go to Disney? Or an ISP like Comcast?

Yeah, who wants to see a beloved entity be taken over by some corporate overlords? Why that’d be like this here AV Club being purchased by some large conglomerate and shifting its editorial viewpoint to accommodate their new corporate masters.

I’ve long given up hope of a future where we don’t live in subservience to a single planet-ruling corporate overlord.
