The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Playing games with my heart

TUESDAY

Let’s start with this piece of news from Marvel… Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies. Yes, we have campy goodness of robots vs. zombies. Though I expect there won’t be much camp. So, it’s a crossover for those alternative worlds or what? Summer 2015 will be packed with Marvel events!

Talking about Age of Ultron, let’s talk about The Avengers! After the news that RDJ will be in Captain America 3, there are new rumors about what could be the fallout of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Indeed, Tony Stark will retire from the team (and being Iron Man) because of Ultron… and I guess will turn into a villain of sorts who wants to register his old pals to the Government by the time Captain America 3 happens. So, the Avengers line-up change with Cap at the head.

The team is Falcon, War Machine, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow, as well as probably The Vision… [but] I have been told Black Widow will not be much of a presence in Cap 3.

OK, we know what supposedly happened with Tony, but what about Thor, Hulk or Hawkeye? That said, the Russo brothers were asked about the validity of Captain America 3 being Civil War and Fallen Son, which was also rumored. Fallen Son, for those unaware is the limited comic series that deals with superheroes reactions to the death of Captain America (at the end of Civil War).

– Had you said Fallen Son… It’s Fallen Son and we kill him on page 20. It’s crazy, but we’re doing that.
– Actually he’s dead before the movie starts.

Yeah, they are joking. Or are they? Talking about the Russo brothers, Marvel wants them to direct Avengers 3 and Avengers 4… and I don’t mind at all! It’s just how good Captain America: The Winter Soldier was. Forget not minding, I actually want it to happen!

Now, on Marvel movie actually being made. Here’s our first look of Michael Douglas as Hank Pym in Ant-Man. Old dude looks fab! Like an old Tony Stark!

And the latest Doctor Strange casting rumor is that Ewan McGregor could get the part. Dude is even prepping for the role! OMG! That would be awesome! Dude is just as good as Joaquin Phoenix and way more charming in press tours. Also, we might get nudity~

That said, there are also more actors added to the Doctor Strange shortlist. On the list there is also Jake Gyllenhaal, Oscar Isaac, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke, and Matthew McConaughey. I still like Ewan McGregor of all of them~

On DC news, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice producer Charles Roven said why Ben Affleck was chosen. The main reason, they wanted an older Batman that was taller than Superman~

He was the first guy we went to, that’s who we wanted. We knew that we wanted a very mature Batman, because we wanted to juxtapose him with this very young Superman. So we wanted a guy, who was tougher, rugged, who had signs of life, who had lived a hard life, and we wanted the guy to have chops for sure. So when we went down that list, there just weren’t a tremendous number of guys who could carry that. We also wanted a guy with big stature. Ben is 6′ 4″. Henry [Cavill] is a 6’1″. We wanted Batman to tower over Superman. Not hugely, not like a basketball player. Superman needed to ‘look up’ to Batman. We wanted that dynamic and Ben could do that, easily.

Also, it totally seems Wonder Woman origins will be the New 52 one. That is, that she is a demigod, daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus.

So, The Flash had great ratings! And it’s officially the top-rated premiere episode ever on The CW! Congrats!
