Gravy guys, if you can keep the political / ideological dick-swinging contests to the appropriate threads that would be great. Everyone always bitching about “don’t go into X thread if you don’t like it”, well a lot of us don’t and just want to come in here and talk about Batman without having to wade through yet another protracted pissing contest.

Anyways, if someone actually wants to discuss a sci-fi movie, here a teaser / title reveal they released for the next Godzilla movie coming out in March 2024.

Just give us more Godzilla movies. No one wants to see Hollywood pretending that King Kong would be anything but a 2 second speed bump for Godzilla.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to pin it on you directly.

It was more about the shared ecosystem on YouTube.

I should have chosen my word's better.

Meh. I'm pretty into seeing them expand on their universe as a whole. I mean they don't really explain how Kong's species built a throne room with hinged doors, an actual throne, and weapons....but I'm willing to just go with it.

Edit: Also, this movie isn't Godzilla vs. Kong. It's Godzilla x Kong. Just a cross-over.

Toho also has a Japanese Godzilla movie announced for release this November but nothing really known about it at all aside from this amazing logo.

clearly Toho is crossing over Godzilla with the aliens from Arrival.

I'm surprised since I thought Krasinski would have been their guy for sure, but Driver is an excellent choice. I think that Krasinski could be an excellent Wolverine as well if they want to lean into the Hugh Jackman model of the character.

Huh?

Wolverine is supposed to be a short, surly, loner type. Krasinski is tall, friendly, and personable....also his facial features are way off. I feel like that would be like casting a golden retriever to play a pitbull.

You do not want to mess around with the Youtube algorithms, especially if you are a 40ish year old male. Every time I search something even tangentially related Joe Rogan, it takes weeks of stating I'm not interested in his videos to get rid of him from my feed.

This was the charming and friendly 6'2 Australian that defined the role for 20+ years now. Jackman was seen as wildly miscast at first, but he nailed the character. I think Krasinski could do something similar.

Apparently so....he definitely looks shorter and "stalky" though. Apparently they put other actors on boxes during scenes they filmed with Jackman.

"Actually, in the first movie, Chris, I never had my shoes on. Every other actor around me - the rule was, unless they were a kid, they had to be taller than me... I was literally crouching like that. Shoes off. People were on planks and boxes all around me. So, we went to a great effort. And I think after a while they just gave up on that."

LOL!

'Stalky'

I believe that means something entirely different from 'stocky' which is what I think you were going for.

Wolverine was kind of Stalky with Jean Grey I guess.

Adam Driver is a great actor so I would be very interested to see what he does with the character. It's cool that Marvel gave fans the Krasinski Richards in DS2. Doesn't mean he couldn't come back in some other multiverse type crossover, timeline being pre Wanda visit obviously..
