Yeah but between them who has the Oscar for best actor?

I think the fact that Sam showed up on the TV show (twice) is pretty conclusive that he will sign back on when his contract is up.

Hah, fuck DC. :) It's almost like Marvel's doing that just to rub it in.

SLJ does do damn near anything they put in front of him, and unless he's doing much action, he should be able to keep up Nick Fury beyond his original contract. Usually he's just standing around stoically looking badass or saying smartass, funny things. I think the opening of the Avengers is the only time he did anything very physical, and it was likely just a stand-in/stunt guy for those shots anyways.

I think they may look to replace him. Think about it, Avengers 2 isn't until 2015. Then he has 2 more movies left. So he may fulfill his contract by 2017? 2018? He'll be almost 70 years old by then. Also, the show most likely won't still be running by 2017.

Or they'll sign him on until Avengers 3 at least and maybe kill him off or retire him in that movie. It's fun to think about.

wow, I knew he has been around forever, but never thought about his age. He is the new 7 shades of Kevin Bacon when it comes to movies it seems. But I still never thought about him being in his 60's.

Black men are immortal. I've got a buddy who I thought was mid-20s who is almost 40. He'll look 50 at 70, no worries on him aging out.

I think he'll die before he looks too old for the part. That's heart attack/cancer territory right there.

Cap 3 "news"...probably just intended as indirect marketing for Cap 2...

"Cap 2 is soooooo good, we've already started talking about a third before the second is even out!" :rolleyes:

Yea that's definitely a marketing ploy.

Honestly though, even if it sucks it will make enough money to warrant a 3rd film. We'll be getting a Thor 3 too. It's just a matter of when.

Sammy will likely sign up to renew + some more $ when the time comes. It keeps him working as he is the kind of guy who will keep working till he gets to sick or dies.

But they do have their replacments lined up in case anything bad should happen.

It usually just takes a big opening weekend now. They can project it really well now after the opening weekend if they're going to make money.

*in old persons voice*

Back in our day it used to take months and word of mouth to get a good buzz on a movie. Nowadays a movie is only in the theater for weeks and every cocksucker and their brother has seen the movie on a torrent or the net. Add in the fact that people tweet and failbook about the movie during the opening night of the pre-release of the actual early release.

*ends old person voice rant*

Didn't they do that for RoC too?

Ya the original plan was to release a movie a year, with filing Joe 2 starting in Nov/Dec after ROC's August release. Obviously ROC didn't make the projected numbers & it never happened. Joe 2 went into production Hiatus & it eventually became Retaliation.

The plan was to sell toys, which required a strick production schedule, a lot of people hoped that the films could be churned out quickly & sell toys. Unfortunatly bad movie = bad toy sales.

Not even watching the game, but that was awesome. TF4 looks fucking stupid from the online trailer I saw, despite being a garbled up mess. So it should fit in perfectly with the plots of 2-4, and visuals of the whole series.

Yep. More stupid slo-mo shots of unidentifiable robots flying over the screaming humans.

The pitch.

"This time. I'm going to remake Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds, only I'm replacing tripods with Dinoformers."

"You mean Dinobots."

"Sounds kind of cheesy, but we can go with that."
