tribe politics might seem foreign and won't resonate with cacs tho. Magic with camp + tongue and cheek will, sadly

Doesn't have to be tribal politics. Was referring more to interactions with foreign countries, geopolitics, and so on. Think BP's "Enemy of the State" and "The Client" by Christopher Priest. Along those lines.

His character is as political, if not more, than Cap, imo.

I just looked at that MCU Exchange website and they are basically a fan blog that has only been in existence since last October.
I think they did this little bit of fake news to get their site some attention and up their site visits because before today they were ranked down in the 200k range as far as visitors to the site.

Bring it on. As long as the script is top notch, it should void all my concerns about her lack of experience in shooting action movies.

Damn, she so fine.:noah:

Could someone please edit the thread title to reflect that this is an unsubstantiated rumor from a fan blog?

I know but it is getting annoying seeing all of these posts from people who haven't read anything in the thread acting like this is legit verified news still.

I agree but again, reading is overrated on this board breh you know that. We never let the facts get in the way of a good thread

You know some of that is going to be edged out...then again, if she goes for a tone similar to winter soldier, it will make sense
true
i can rock with a Winter Soldier type feel

That's gonna be tough because Winter Soldier didn't even feel like a superhero movie at times. It felt like a spy thriller.

Why are people acting like she hasn't directed anything before Selma.:dwillhuh:

Both her first 2 narrative films are good .
Especially middle of nowhere.

:comeon:BRUH, as much as the lil boy in me wants to be excited, the grown a$s me :stopitslime:who's been exposed to reality & detects high profile f##kery isn't too hype. :yeshrug:
I try not to be a pessimist but NO ONE will get me to believe that a story of such Black Excellence (ironically created by white men) will make it to the big screen with faithful, dignified & well executed adaption. I just won't believe it. :francis:A big budget, multi-million dollar, globally marketed superhero film not ONLY starring a black man but if adapted right will have atleast a 98% cast of black MAIN CHARACTERS!?! ... those of which aren't stereotypes but intelligent, well spoken, SUPERIOR foreigners!!???! Mayne fuk Outta Here!! As much as I crave this to be truth my "Don't fall for the bullsh#t" senses are tinglin.:wtb:
Ava's talented but NO film with source material that powerful is gonna be adapted now. The film will come out ...but T'challa gonna hate dark skin women, simp for Black Widow, defend IronMan sayin "nikka", have the catchphrase "But what about Blk on Blk crime?" & sell all Wakanda's priceless resources for floor seats at the NBA ALL STAR dunk competition all before the third Act!! SMH!! I aint buyin it!! :rudy::camby:
