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

THURSDAY

Today, Marvel decided to torture us with Planet Hulk. Seriously, Marvel? Seriously? At least in this event we will get All The Hulks! So really it’s Planet of the Hulks… with Devil Dinosaur and a seriously outnumbered Captain America~

Box Office news! Guardians of the Galaxy has had a great time in China… where they are called Interplanetary Unusual Attacking Team. LOL. Anyway, the movie has passed $700 million worldwide! So thanks for that China! I might eventually forgive you for Transformers: Age of Extinction~

A Forbes contributor says that the Iron Man vs. Captain America possible confrontation in Captain America 3 could totally win at the box office battle against Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The reason? Basically everybody loves MCU characters, specially Iron Man if you listen to the box office, even if Supes and Bats are way more iconic characters~

Yes Batman and Superman are, barring variables, arguably bigger characters than Iron Man and Captain America. But in terms of cinematic relevance and pre-affirmed audience interest (both notable variables), it is a much closer contest.

Pacific Rim‘s Facebook teased a Pacific Rim II image where poor ships are about to be sucked into the ocean. And also reminds us the movie is still three years away. Bastards!

Guillermo del Toro also had an interview with Collider where he says that Pacific Rim II will set up a third movie. Damn! I like that! I just hope it makes great box office money for it to be true!

Some of your favorite characters come back, some others don’t because we have decided that we’re going to shoot ambitiously and say ‘Let’s hope we have three movies,’ so some characters come in at the end of the second, hoping that it will ramp up on the third one.

FRIDAY

It seems the cute little ears on Batfleck ain’t the only thing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has taken from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns~ We will have a Robin, and that Robin will be female! Or so rumor says. In fact, the confirmation that Jena Malone will be the movie (and dyed her hair red like female Robin Carrie Kelley) gives the rumor more credibility.

It seems some guys just want Tom Hardy in another superhero movie. And he could play a villain once more if Fox gets away with it! Dude’s been eyed to play the titular character in X-Men: Apocalypse! While I think Doctor Strange is not in his plan anymore (or at least he has a lot of competition), it could be between X-Men and Suicide Squad. Mmmm, decisions decisions.

Talking about that Marvel movie without a lead actor, we have more people being considered! Remember how Cumberbatch was considered before but didn’t appear in the latest batch (LOL)? Well, not so fast! Posh Alien King is still on the race! And joining him (and others mentioned) are Colin Farrell, Keanu Reeves and Justin Theroux! OK, this is getting more and more complicated. Just pick one, Marvel. Pick one already!

And the week ends with another Marvel new old event: Armor Wars. Here we have Tony Stark looking not-so-happy as his armors battle each other and produce a lot of pricey damage to New York’s most famous landmark~

I guess, all these Summer 2015 events will tie up with Secret Wars. Maybe it’s a bunch of alternative universe versions of said events! Oh well. I’ll just have to wait and try not to think too much about it or I’ll get a headache. Woes of geekiness.

And that it’s for the week. Before I go, I want to wish Happy Birthday to Dawn French (11), Hugh Jackman (12), Josh Hutcherson (12), Ben Whishaw (14), Eminem (17) and Mark Gatiss (17)!
