Looks like the Gambit movie will come out a few months after X-Men: Apocalypse, so at most we may see a Gambit Cameo before his own film (although that would make him roughly 50 if the Gambit flick is contemporary). Also, there was leaked stuff from the Sony hack implying Sony had some more serious discussion with Marvel getting Spidey back, but today there was a casting call for an Andrew Garfield/Dan DeHaan Spidey 3. While I'd love to see Marvel get Spidey back, if Sony keeps him I'd much rather they go for ASM 3 than Sinister Six.

Ant Man preview will be during Peggy Carter, which I'll be watching tonight.

I think the contract runs out when they stop making Spidey movies, so essentially Disney/Marvel would have to buy them back outright (at WAY more than the $7 million they sold them for when they emerged from bankrupcy in the 90s) to get the full rights back or use Spidey (they do have a split on the merch., so its not impossible). Otherwise, as long as Sony releases a Spider-Man flick every few years, they keep the rights.

I like Paul Rudd, so I'm fine with him being Lang & not Pym. I couldn't imagine Paul Rudd would knock around Janet.

The trailer looks promising. Was kind of expecting the quip towards the name.

I honestly don't know the precise terms under which Marvel sold the rights to Sony, or under what conditions they could buy them back. I was speaking about all the contracts involved in actually making the films. With the actors, and producers, and writers, and directors. Usually, you contract them for 3 films in a franchise when you make the first film. That way, if you decide to do sequels, you don't have to renegotiate with all of those people in order to get them back. The plus is that you don't renegotiate, but the negative is that you've basically pre-negotiated ahead of time. An actor is going to demand more money per film if he knows he's contractually obligated to do 3 since he can't renegotiate later (well, without penalties, you can technically *always* renegotiate). Ditto for pretty much everyone involved.

Point being that having the set of people you need to make the film already contracted to do one more, you're wasting that potential revenue if you *don't* do one. Even if it's total garbage, you do it (and this is why we get so many really really terrible 3rd films in a franchise). So regardless of whatever other conditions apply, or whether they want to sell back to Marvel, Sony would always make a third film *first*. So the fact that they're making a third film doesn't tell us anything about whether they are going to sell the rights back to Marvel. After they make the film, and that set of three film contracts have expired is the time to make that decision. Because if they make more Spidey films, they have to go out and hire all new people to do them, with new contracts. And that's time/money/effort.

Seems the obvious choice looking at her previous movie characters and physique.

I had to look up who Michelle was. Other than relative obscurity, age definitely is a negative for her. Good or bad of that point aside she's 22 years older than Scarlett. That's a factor in these things too.

New Ultron trailer

I liked the old one better overall, but this has some nice new action scenes.

Source? From what I remember from the flashback episode of "Individual Eleven" arc the Major was a girl that was severely injured in a plane crash.

She was put in a little girl's body too, wasn't she?

I'm almost certain that she goes with the female bodies not because of an affinity towards them but tactical.

Anyway, Agent Carter was kind of weak tonight, though she dodged a bullet Spoilerby other people taking them all in the face.

Just rewatched the Agent Carter One-Shot. I wonder if they'll explain her working with different people in a bureau with a different layout than in the series.

Episode 3 was okay. Not great but not bad either.
