I'd like Rob to consider allowing people who send in questions to include their Kinja screenname, and then if he takes the question he follows them (assuming they are longstanding members and not just drop-ins), so that their comments won't be greyed out from that point on. It would incentivize asking good questions.

Here's an alternate idea; how would you feel if they did a little bit of both? For example, if Iron Man 4 had RDJ in there just long enough to pass the mantle to Rhodey, and then Don Cheadle stars as Iron Man throughout the second trilogy, and then by the seventh Iron Man movie, they recast a younger actor to play…

I actually think Green Lantern could've worked as DC's answer to Iron Man, it just would've required a much better script.

I would be about 200% more interested in a Big Red Cheese movie if The Rock were the star (not the villain).

It's finally happened! Han Solo has Malcolm Reynolds Envy!

This is being done by the same producers who did "Son of God," so there's clearly a religious motivation involved, they're not just trying to make any old movie. Rumor has it they're trying to make it closer to the book.

Truthfully, I would also enjoy them using the casting of Michael Douglas as "Old" Hank Pym to open the door to 60's era MCU stories with the original Ant Man and Wasp.

That would make a lot of sense. I wonder if we'll be seeing Adam Warlock in Phase 3 (his cocoon was supposed to be in the Collector's collection).

But Captain Marvel is just as cosmic as GotG. If they wanted to, they could have just as easily used her to introduce marvel cosmic.

I should have read your other comment before replying.

The real answer is obvious: Hollywood is scared of trying new or risky things.

But of course he's responsible for Uncle Ben, blames himself for her dad and for her, etc etc etc. That's the point.

Agent Carter is going to be on ABC.

Also, where is the respect to Marvel Studios for announcing not one, but two, female-led action TV shows? Does that not count for anything?

As an interesting aside, I randomly found this article while looking up some other superhero movie news. It indicates that a treatment for a Black Widow movie was written, but not actively developed. So, if we wanted to give Feige/Marvel the benefit of the doubt, it may be that they are making efforts toward a…

I really respect Feige for what he's been able to accomplish with the MCU, but you're right. They are launching several new franchises with the next couple of movies. Which very much makes his "we don't have the time" excuse seem like BS.

But it's not like this is a new issue, and while he's busy talking about it being difficult to schedule a new property Guardians just launched, Ant-Man is coming very soon and Doctor Strange is there a year afterwards. None of those are particularly huge or famous superheroes and yet they all managed to get in line…

Where do I sign?

Oh, and BIG ups for Sony announcing that they're bringing us a female super-heroine movie in 2017 - and doing so on the same exact day that Kevin Feige made his latest "but doing a girl superhero is haaaaaaaaaard" speech.
