I'm getting Romeo & Juliette gothical vibes from this. For it to be released this year they should really stop calling this a 2020 film since it was only seen at the Deauville Film Festival.
In case anybody was holding out hope that Caption Marvel & Rhodey would be a couple in the MCU, that's officially dead now:
I wouldn't call anything official just yet, the website that is cited in that video is literally the only place that rumor is being reported. Also, I think it is more than a little curious that this rumor appears shortly after Brie Larsen made a video that hinted about her fluid sexuality. However, if it is true I don't have high hopes for Captain Marvel 2. Going all-in on LGBTQ characters is really risky because liberal media aside a lot of movie-going people in the world are still not cool with gay depictions.
Dude, that blog isn´t truthful, is merely a rumor. BUT if they think that, it would be awful. Carol was awful on first movie, but this would be even worst cause stereotype blond, angry man-hater, short hair woman is a lesbian... WHAT A SHOCK! I don´t like when characters are so fucking different from comics mostly. Also in terms of money bad choice, China and other "big" countries are not fans of LGTB stuffs. Talking about War Machine, at least I hope one love interest for him on Armor Wars, same with Falcon on Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
I didn't see them going with Rhodey & Carol regardless. There is absolutely nothing that hinted at it. The MCU doesn't really delve into the romances of the characters that much anyway. Remember how bland they wrote Natasha & Steve. lol.
Once I saw Captain Marvel I knew a comic accurate relationship with War Machine probably wouldn't work. To be honest, Tony/Pepper, Cap/Peggy, and Wanda/Vision are the only MCU couples that have any chemistry. The sex and romance in the MCU have about a 50/50 chance of being comic book accurate. For example, in the comics, Black Widow hooked up with just about everyone except Hulk also, characters in the MCU are a lot less promiscuous than their comic book counterparts. If Black Widow was the way she is in the comics she would have banged Tony way back in Iron-Man 2, she would have banged Hawkeye before Avengers, and she probably would have taken Caps virginity in The Winter Soldier. Speaking of Black Widow, I think she would have made a better LGBTQ character than Captain Marvel, being an international super spy it would make a lot more sense that she has been with every gender under the sun, but of course now that door is shut.
Black Widow bi? No thanks, if they really want a lesbian or bi Marvel has other superheroines, about "every gender" she mostly teases, she barely kisses any of her "foes", less sex, mostly criminal organizations are handled by men. I´m just happy first and last Natasha movie she will have a black guy as love interest, MCU a long time ago own us that
I'm not invested in Black Widow's sex life at all. I'm just saying that it makes sense that a character who was a super spy ( a job that requires deep cover missions) having fluid sexuality. As for criminal organizations, sure in reality most of them are guy heavy, but spy/action movies almost always have a fairly substantial female presence. Natasha was trained in a super strict spy school to do all kinds of things. Fury put it best in Winter Soldier when he said "Romanoff is comfortable with everything" If there was a mission that required that she goes in deep as a bi/lesbian she wouldn't bat an eye. I know Natasha has been portrayed in the MCU as an highly skilled tease, but her comic book counterpart literally banged half the men in the Marvel universe, and probably a woman or two.
I'm currently goin through the "Upcoming IR Slate" thread & noticing some of the films that were announced in that thread, eventually got released, but nobody posted the trailers for those films to keep us updated. "Sweetness in the Belly" is an example. It finally got released May of 2020:
RUN HIDE FIGHT The film is Rambo/Die Hard in a school shooting scenario. The nerdy black friend is also the lead character's love interest.
Turning school shootings into a DieHard knock-off is a little iffy to me. I'm also not a huge fan of anything involving Ben Shapiro and his ilk.
Indeed though I think they more got the distribution rights and didnt actually do much in terms of making it. Ben only got into Political Commentary cause he failed at Hollywood.
Some heavy material to use for an action film. It can go only two ways if it makes to mainstream. Hard fall or Fly high.
