Ava DuVernay, Director of Slema, Rumored to Direct Marvel's Black Panther

[Bigbigguy]

Joss Whedon was a hack and bad director when Avengers was out but now that he has divorced himself from Marvel and complained after the fact he's visionary director with tons of talent who won't bend to Marvel. Hilarious.

Whedon really isn't that good.

On the topic I'm not mad about this

its been working decently for them so far. im sure they arent gonna lose too much sleep at night in their money beds over this

Not worried or concerned about Marvel specifically, they will be alright in the end.

Nevertheless, it's not the end of the world. Movie is still 3 years away. Hopefully the right fit is found soon.

I do think her version might have been too preachy for Marvel.

Ava DuVernay Passes On Marvel's BLACK PANTHER; "We Couldn't See Eye To Eye"

Confirming it was Black Panther (and not Captain Marvel) that she was in contention for, Ava DuVernay has revealed that she and the studio will not be collaborating on the project. Check it out!

Ever since Ava DuVernay was revealed to be in talks with Marvel Studios to potentially helm the long-awaited Black Panther adaptation, the Selma director has become the ideal candidate; and there were even rumors the she was in final negotiations. However, the filmmaker herself has unfortunately confirmed to Essence that those "talks" with the studio have since fallen through.

“I guess I'll declare my independence from this rumor on 4th of July weekend and Essence weekend!” said DuVernay. “I'm not signing on to direct Black Panther. I think I’ll just say we had different ideas about what the story would be. Marvel has a certain way of doing things and I think they’re fantastic and a lot of people love what they do. I loved that they reached out to me.”

DuVernay also confirmed meeting with the star of the Black Panther movie, Chadwick Boseman, who is currently filming for the character's cinematic debut in Captain America: Civil War. “I loved meeting Chadwick and writers and all the Marvel execs,”she said. “In the end, it comes down to story and perspective. And we just didn't see eye to eye. Better for me to realize that now than cite creative differences later.” Not to mention the Ant-Man split between Marvel and former director Edgar Wright. Despite not signing on to helm Black Panther, DuVernay says she's still in support of the movie. “I love the character of Black Panther, the nation of Wakanda and all that that could be visually. I wish them well and will be first in line to see it," she said. What do you think?

I've heard Volume 2 being cited as the reference for the BP movie. That's pretty much entirely told from Everett Ross' point of view. I could see that as a reason for her walking.

if it dont make dollars then it dont make sense if it aint bout the infinity stones and leading to more bodies for Thanos to catch in pt 1 and pt 2 then you might as well not even show up

Black, White, Latino, Asian..... I don't care for race I just hope for a good director.

It would be cool to have someone of color doing this project but it shouldn't be a major determining factor......


And I'm a black male from an HBCU
