Chapter 695 Marvel’s Plan
Chris Hayworth was so confused that he didn't even know what was going on, and he became the male lead in "Thor" with an investment of 120 million US dollars.
The heroine was simple. Gilbert's agent, Sheena Boone, poached Megan Fox from Michael Ovitz, and Gilbert Jr. slipped her in.
The role of Jane Foster needed a vase, and director Kenneth Branagh admired Natalie Portman very much and wanted to cast her.
At this time, Natalie Portman had not yet won the Oscar for Best Actress, and "Thor" was filmed several years ahead of schedule. Although he had a relationship with Natalie Portman, Gilbert Jr. still rejected her.
Quite simply, Natalie Portman does not fit the position of a vase, Megan Fox is very suitable.
Of course, Gilbert Jr. did not reject all of Kenneth Branagh's casting choices. Tom Hiddleston was Kenneth Branagh's choice to play Loki.
As the release date approaches, the announcements about the "Thor" movie are becoming more intense. Because there is a real lack of attractive stars, little Gilbert had to stand up for "Thor" a lot.
Kevin Feige is very worried now. It is understandable that the last time "The Incredible Hulk" failed. If "Thor" fails again, Marvel Studios' cinematic universe may be in jeopardy.
However, Little Gilbert told Kevin Feige not to worry: "Kevin, I am the boss. If the box office is not good, it will be mine. Don't put too much burden on you."
Kevin Feige was even more embarrassed: "But, won't this affect our plan?"
"No," little Gilbert said confidently: "No matter what happens, there will be "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America" next year. There is still hope for the film."
Little Gilbert said this, and Kevin Feige was relieved.
He said another thing: "Sony Columbia Pictures refuses Spider-Man to return to Marvel movies, and Spider-Man will not be able to return to the Marvel family in a short time."
Little Gilbert is not surprised by this. After all, although "Spider-Man 3" received a mediocre reputation last year, it created a pretty good box office.
Why would Sony give up its cash cow and cooperate with Marvel?
So Gilbert Jr. said: "This matter cannot be rushed, we will slowly make results. I am sure that when our Marvel Cinematic Universe is successful, Sony Columbia will be eager to join in."
Don't worry about 20th Century Fox, they are counting on "X-Men", and even Marvel can't get back the copyright to "Fantastic Four".
It seems that before the collapse of 20th Century Fox, there is no need to expect these superhero copyrights to return to Marvel for the time being.
But to be honest, little Gilbert thinks this is actually very good and doesn't have so many worries.
The fourth phase of the Marvel Universe was criticized in the previous life. In addition to the poor plot and special effects, the casting and the appearance of various superheroes were also one of the important reasons.
Comics have a large audience, but not everyone reads comics and understands the stories in them.
This has caused the fourth phase of the Marvel Universe to become a fan-oriented phase. If you don’t have a deep understanding of things in the Marvel Universe, you won’t be able to understand or keep up with the rhythm.
A movie has a limited duration, and dozens of superheroes have to be crammed into the limited time. This huge but complicated setting is not only burning the brains of the audience, but also the screenwriters and directors.
So little Gilbert is actually quite lucky. The first, second and third phases of the Marvel Universe are pretty easy to do. Just tell the story around the original six Avengers.
As for the superheroes such as Scarlet Witch, Vision, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel who appeared later, it is not too complicated and can be handled fairly well.
In addition to supporting "Thor", little Gilbert has also not forgotten "The Dark Knight".
He edited a trailer and released it in the Super Bowl, which caused a great response. Especially the clown's appearance made the entire Super Bowl scene calm. Heath Ledger quickly became popular on the Internet for his role as the Joker in the trailer. His unique voice and appearance are simply full of unique charm.
The trailers continue to be released, including a Joker special, a Batman special, and a Two-Face special. Among the posters hanging everywhere, the one with Batman standing in the middle and the Joker and Two-Face facing each other is the one with the most.
This poster shows that this time "The Dark Knight" revolves around these three characters.
At the same time, in the action special trailer, the Batmobile made a handsome appearance, which was liked by many viewers. Many people who like to collect motorcycles decide after watching the trailer that they must buy a Batmobile, even if it is a fake.
March is coming, and "The Dark Knight" has released character posters one after another. On the eve of the Oscars, it released the ultimate trailer of three minutes and 21 seconds to satisfy eager movie fans.
Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Heath Ledger and other leading actors have also begun to gather and appear on various programs to promote "The Dark Knight".
Among them, the one who received the most attention is of course Heath Ledger, who has just been discharged from the hospital. There are rumors on the Internet that Heath Ledger received psychological treatment because of his role as the Joker.
In an interview, Heath Ledger responded to this matter: "The character of the Joker is particularly crazy. He respects chaos and the purest evil.
He believes that evil is noble and cannot be stained.
Honestly, this is the most terrifying and insane villain I've ever seen, and I'm so excited to have the opportunity to play this character. ”

He didn't explicitly say that he felt mental pressure playing the clown, but his words were enough for fans to imagine.
Christian Bale also talked about the feeling of playing Batman this time: "I was very stressed, and both Heath and Nicholas performed brilliantly.
When performing, I have to give 120% of my efforts, otherwise I might be sidelined. ”
Nicolas Cage said: "This is my first time starring in a superhero movie. My role is very special. It feels like I have returned to the feeling I had in "Face".
I promise, this is a very surprising role. ”
Gilbert Jr. praised the actors: "Heath locked himself in his apartment to study the character a month before joining the cast.
He almost went crazy over this, and even his girlfriend and daughter had conflicts with him. So much so that I had to give him a week off to let him adjust.
Chris has worked very hard since the last film. He played Bruce Wayne and Batman very well. He did many action scenes by himself and the fighting scenes were very exciting.
Needless to say, Nikolai fully displayed his Oscar-winning actor-level abilities in the movie. I believe his role will arouse a lot of discussion. ”
Finally, Gilbert Jr. made a summary: "The reason I agreed to direct "The Dark Knight" was because I wanted this series to become a unique superhero movie.
Even after many years, many people will think of this series when they think of Batman movies.
This summer, let's meet in the cinema. ”
