Talk about foresight

Those two have their hand in literally everything. It's scary.

Well played...

but something aint right about that

The first feature-length production of Captain America for theatrical release has a long and tumultuous production history. The film rights were originally purchased by The Cannon Group founders Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus in 1984.[5] Initially Cannon regular Michael Winner (Death Wish 1-3) was attached to direct a script by James Silke.[5] However, in 1986 Winner scrapped the Silke script and recruited British television writer Stan Hey (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Dalziel and Pascoe). According to Hey, the film involved a stolen Statue of Liberty plot by an elderly Red Skull, aided by a female death cult, and Steve Rogers working as an artist.[6] Later, after some negative feedback for the Winner & Hey version, Winner started over, working alongside Stan Lee and Lawrence Block, with an advertisement released with their names listed.[5] By 1987 Winner was off the project and actor-director John Stockwell came aboard with a script by Stephen Tolkin.[5]

Golan left Cannon in 1989 and as part of a severance package he was given control of 21st Century Film Corporation and allowed to carry over the film rights to the Captain America character.[5] Director Albert Pyun, who had previously worked at Cannon, was brought on board and worked with the Tolkin script that originally started at Cannon.[5] Principal photography began in 1989 and was completed in 1990. Entertainment Tonight also visited the set during making of the film, airing a segment in August 1989.

But I guess yall never let the facts or truth get in the way of a decent story

Even though Marvel Studios began with the MCU in 2008..... the same cant be said about the DC Entertainment, yea the DCU may have started in 2013, but they been making movies 1997 and history that shouldnt be forgotten.

Its disrespectful for DC stans to forget or ignore their history


After 4 films the Marvel had made 1.9 Billion

After 4 films the DC has made 943.3 Million

DC was first to the punch with a Black Super Hero on the big screen and he only brought 1.7 Million

Facts is facts

Speaking of a headstart

Martha

And the MCU alone has made more skrilla then DCs entire slate since they started with Christopher Reeves as Superman in 1978. lol

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

By the time justice League drops the dceu could potentially be sitting at 4 billion after 5 films


This level of success has never been seen before. At least in cbm history.


Ill have to check the numbers but I'm Fairly certain it would make it the most successful franchise ever relative to being 5 films in to any franchise. That's not a 1 or 2 film fluke.


MAYBE sony with spider man if you add raimis and the 2 amazing films together. I'll have to check these numbers

Insane.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Yes.... cant not knock that..... 4 Bill on they last 5 films......... 13 total DC films in.

Respect

Martha

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Just checked cuz I'm bored.


The 5 Sony spider man films made a little over 3.9 billion

That's crazy. Forgot how big those were.


So jl needs to make like 900 million for it to pass the 5 spider man films totals.

Could happen but may not.

While these Marvel boys was tryna get this off the ground the gawd Nolan was putting out back to back BILLYS in the Batman universe and refused to use 3D, them shyts would have made even more

Then Zack tried to do the same thing with Man of Steel and failed. That's why they had to do the DCEU/BvS thing. lol

Failed how?

Man of Steel did $660M worldwide.

Iron Man did $585M

Hulk did $263M

Cap did $370M

Marvel has never produced a billion dollar film without Robert Downey Jr. Good luck when he's gone

While Marvel was 'trying to get this off the ground', DC/Warner had no interest in following suit. They were setting up Man of Steel produced by Nolan directed by Snyder as another 'artsy' take on a superhero character. He didn't deliver so they threw Batman in the next movie to bite the MCU model. They had no intention of doing so until they saw how MoS was received. They were content doing one off trilogies and they threw that out the window after they saw how MoS was received.
Now we're STILL waiting for the MoS sequel. lol

False. Batman/Superman was in talks for many years. But it was something that Nolan didn't want to do with his own trilogy. Batman/Superman logo appeared in I Am Legend.

Oh is that movie apart of the DCEU or something? lol
They don't reference Batman or WW in MoS for a reason man. It wasn't in the works.

Not to mention the satellite in man of steel saying Wayne enterprises.


Jason momoa recently said he was cast to be aquaman far back as 2013.

They do reference Bruce Wayne actually. More than once. You obviously do not know anything. lol

OK, I only did see the movie once. I must be mistaken.
