But there are few Marvel comice I really enjoy, and all of them are getting new movies! Where to start?
Ok, let's go with what might be some of the best castings ever, Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius in Morbius.
This comes from the comic Morbius the Living Vampire about a scientist who tries to cure himself with vampire blood. Some changes will be made to this for the movie to be sure, but it looks fantastic. The cameo by Michael Keaton is also a shocker and what role is Matt Smith playing? (Loxias Crown according to the Wikipedia).
My second favorite casting (and this is so weird to say since up till Morbius this one was my favorite) in Marvel movie gives us Anna Taylor-Joy as freaking Magick in the New Mutants.
"I killed 18 men. One. by. one." Oh Magick, you keep doing you.
I mean really, ATJ as Magick the only thing that would keep me from geeking out over the casting of Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane. I read a lot of New Mutants back in college and was the last X-men/Marvel comic I kept up with. Plus it has a solid horror vibe.
Those are the ones we have trailers for.
We are also getting Doctor Strange 2: The Multiverse of Madness. That is like, three of my favorite things in the title alone. Now the rumor is Scarlet Witch will be in the movie too. I like the movie Wanda much more than the comic one so this is great.
AND the hits keep coming with the Blade reboot with the amazing Mahershala Ali as the day-walking half-vampire Blade.
It's going to be great really. And this is not even looking into the DC movies coming up.
I've been cautiously optimistic about Morbuis, but that trailer looks great. And I agree about Magik's casting. She seems perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit worried about the new Dr. Strange film. It went from being a horror film according to the director to being not a horror film by Feige and I believe the director has quit. I'm sure it will all work out in the end.
I can't wait for New Mutants, glad to see it finally getting a release date. Agree about the Magik casting as well.
