So for Infinity War, lets say theaters do another one of those marathon deals before the movie with old MCU flicks.

Which films should be included? God help us if they try to power through with EVERY MCU movie.

Wasp suit would look so much better if it were sleeveless. Or straight up the same from that post-credit scene.

I wonder if Kevin Feige will ever watch Lady Bird one day and be like "Shit, we gotta do that for Spider-Man"

New synopsis for Avengers: Infinity War has released, teasing deadliest showdown yet.

"An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time," the synopsis reads. "The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must willing to sacrifice it all in an attempt to defeat the power of Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe."

I just hope Feige watches Lady Bird and thinks "we need to cast Saoirse Ronan in one these". She dodged a bullet by not getting the role of Sue Storm in Fan4stic, so she'll have her sights on a more successful superhero movie.
She passed on Scarlet Witch, too. She'd have done one of these already if she really wanted to.

Both of those rumours ended up being off the mark. To quote myself from last week's Box Office thread:

Edit: And for added fun: Saoirse supposedly turned down the role of Scarlet Witch before they gave it to Elizabeth Olsen, so you know Feige liked her.

That turned out to be false. She was asked about the role at TIFF a little later in the year, and while she was reluctant to give a direct answer, what she did say made it clear she didn't get far into the audition process:

This MTV interview @ 2:15 said:

Similarly, reports that she'd auditioned for Sue Storm were also bogus (thankfully).

This is my personal re-watch list going into Infinity War:

Avengers
Guardians
Age of Ultron
Civil War
Strange
Guardians 2
Ragnarok


Totally plays by my arbitrary rules, but I feel like those are the ones that tie into the Thanos story the most.

But the stories that Saoirse auditioned for Jean Grey (and got beat by Sophie Turner) are true as far as I know (and that was the rest of the post that JaseC quoted), so it's not like she's completely disinterested in doing superhero movies. She might not be interested in one anymore, but she has been interested in them in the recent past.

Edit: The primary reason I could see her balking is the idea of signing a contract and doing one of these movies for 6 months every 2-3 years, but that's generally enough time to get to do most of the smaller projects you're interested in (like Liz Olsen and Jeremy Renner did with Wind River, for example).

Add Homecoming and this would be my perfect re-watch list, too. Hell, I'm doing the one-film-a-week thing and I might watch these again the week before Infinity War.

(I really like re-watching MCU movies)

I still can't unsee that penis.

Thank you whoever said it. :(
Maybe you can replace it by being unable to unsee the wasp and the ant faces that are in their costumes:

These days, I think it'd be a matter of characterisation more than anything. People coming up to her while doing promo for Brooklyn to say how it made them reflect on their own thematically similar stories changed her outlook significantly. I mean, I gather she's always been a bit of a film buff, but literally coming face to face with the relatability of Brooklyn seems to the point at which she truly realised just how powerful a film can be when people can identify with the experiences of its characters. She still makes some room for roles that are appealing more because of personal interest, of course (e.g. Mary Queen of Scots), but crossing that threshold with a superhero character who's expected to become part of an ensemble strikes me as a tall order.

Realistically, I can see her agreeing to do a one-off role, either as the villain of a movie, or something like Logan or Deadpool that arguably takes place in an alternate timeline. In theory Marvel could make an interesting enough solo movie that they'd be able to get her to sign on to occasionally do an ensemble movie (I personally think the days of "everyone gets together" Avengers movies every few years are done after Avengers 4), but I'd argue they haven't made that type of movie yet (Logan is probably the only movie that fits that bill or comes close, and that only got to happen because it was a send-off).

Ditto. Logan also came to mind while I was writing my post. Something like that -- a mostly isolated, character-driven story -- would be the best way to woo her.

At some point I hope someone shares a proper version of the Captain Marvel concept art they showed at comic-con.

Chris Hemsworth confirms a character to appear in Infinity War
So Chris Hemsworth came by Jimmy Fallon who went through a list of names that would either appear or not in Avengers: Infinity War, which Chris then had to confirm or deny. Chris confirmed that
Benicio del Toro will appear, which means that the many rumblings about The Collector appearing may come true.

Well I'm sure
They show thanos getting the ether from his collection

but we knew that. There was that leaked clip of Rocket and Mantis in the Collector's lair and the man himself has Thanos stepping on his chest, pushing Tivan to reveal where the Power Stone is.

Oh shit, that's right.

Anyway, this is what happens when you give Nebula a Power Rangers suit:



Also, Jon Schnepp from Collider has clarified his recent statement about Spider-Man appearing in the Venom solo movie, and explains it'll be Peter Parker, as he has seen Tom Holland film on set for at least two days:

"Tom Holland was on set filming scenes on Venom for at least two days as Peter Parker," Schnepp said. "I'm not saying that Spider-Man is in the film. When I say that 'Tom Holland's Spider-Man is in the film,' I'm saying 'Peter Parker is in the film.' This is a cameo."
