This is the second time that something on Disney property has had to be pushed back in the theatres. The first was the release of Mulan, which was delayed by a month. Another delay is already on the horizon for the long awaited sequel of Cars. Why is this happening? Well, the reason is quite simple.
At the time when I heard that educircul was going to open after the second quarter of this year, my initial reaction was, “What is it going to be?” I didn’t know anything about it, other than it was supposed to be a superhero drama. However, after looking through the sales page, I noticed that the plot was very different than what I was expecting. It seems like a bit of a stretch to put an entire superhero ensemble into one movie, but it seems like they are trying to build interest in the MCU. They had also released an official teaser for May 3rd, so now we just have to wait and see what happens.
After reading the article above, I immediately started to get excited, and then worried at the same time. Is the new movie going to be a flop, or will it really deliver on its promise of being a dark comedy? Will this project simply be a flop, or will it break the box office. Right now, I am expecting a big hit, and I thought maybe my excitement may be unwarranted. But then I read another article by Entertainment Weekly, and this one included a synopsis for the second film that they are releasing, called The Wolverine, which is supposedly going to be a much better version of X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Still, even if this movie doesn’t live up to what fans of the mcu had hoped for, or even seems like a huge flop, it still will be good to have some familiar faces back in the Marvel fold. There are so many people that are passionate about the marvel franchise, that having some recognizable names attached to it, will only help sell tickets. I have always loved Professor X, and Cyclops, and Jean Grey, and Dr. Doom, and Gambit, and Rogue, and Wolverine, and Scott, and Professor X, and Cyclops, and Jean Grey, and Wolverine, and Dr. Doom, and Rogue, and Magneto, and microwave, and a few more. That list is so long, it might make you hungry for more! But who knows, maybe after future films we will get to see all of them again.
One other piece of news
is that the first of the X-Men movies that will be released in 2021 will be a movie that executive producer Lauren Shuler Meyl called “the most exciting, emotional and rewarding film to date.” It will star Patrick Stewart, who plays Charles Xavier, and it will be directed by the man that helmed X-Men: Days of Future Past. Lauren Shuler Meyl is the mother of actress-writer Kelly Kinney, and she produced X-Men: First Class. Her other credits include X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Days of Thunder.
There are also several untitled marvel projects which have been set up, and I can exclusively reveal one of them. It is a TV series based on the young adult novel written by Chris Van Valker, and the project has already received an executive producer. The book in question, titled The Lost Girl, is written as a coming of age story about a girl who has been abandoned by her abusive father, and raised under the care of a foster family. The girl then discovers that she has mutant powers, which she uses for good. The TV series will likely be executive produced by of the two main producers of X-Men: First Class, and it will be based on the book.
I could go on
about more of the X-Men cast members, and the many upcoming movies and television series. I’ll leave it to you to check out the extensive timeline of what is happening in the world of the X-Men, and what the characters unraveling the mystery of the altered reality they now find themselves living in. That being said, what I would like to stress is the importance of learning about this stuff when you can get a chance. Luckily, I have some sources that will make this information accessible to you.
In short, the short summary of the story ends by briefly mentioning how the first Marvel movie we had an early screening for was Doctor Strange, and the subsequent spinoff of that movie, Doctor Strange and the Infinity War, is set to begin shooting in the next few weeks. Then, it was announced the first Marvel property up in 2021 is going to be a Black Panther, which will surely be a major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally, it was also mentioned that there will be at least two more educircul spinoffs, which start in late 2021, so look forward to those. In other words, the whole theme of the original Doctor Strange is being slowly brought back, and it appears the story will go into the future and back to the present for a bit. Then I’ll wrap things up.
