I think, in most cases you are correct, that the Air Force - and more generally the US Military - will not cooperate in movie productions depicting them unless they get not so much script approval, but veto power on problematic story points.

She doesn’t.

This is what had me confused about that comment.

Bigelow doesn’t like comicbook movies.

You almost always kind of have to agree to that sort of thing if you’re going to in any way use any part of the military as part of your movie’s story with actual military props and insignia (REAL ones, not the made-up universe ones) in Hollywood.

She’s never done a Marvel or DC film because she’s very clearly stated that she’s not a fan of comicbook movies.

Sometimes you just don’t like some other person.

Yes, you are being a bit naive about it.

Also, the actor who plays Bron in Game of Thrones - Jerome Flynn - and Lena Heady (Cersei).

“PizzaGaetz!”

THIS!

I have every confidence that the studio will find some way and somehow to shoehorn in an American/European/Rando White character into the story in a major role in some way - regardless of whether it makes sense or not.

“I know, right?

He looks like Elf on the Shelf’s deadbeat dad, but who also happens to be a registered sex offender, and likes to wear an overcoat for no reason at all even during a blazing hot day.

Simple question:-

He got thrown into the sin bin for a couple of years, while his Solo movie percolated before eventually devolving into a Disney+ Show instead.

>>>>”Though I always found his “character” in them to be smarmy, sinister, and carrying the air of someone who dabbles in the occult.”

So it WASN’T an open relationship.
