March CQMB - Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four, Superman, & More

Madame Web Thoughts

Well, um... I don't know how to feel about this movie. This didn't stray too far from my expectations going in to the film, which were based off the first trailer. I find it super depressing that they used the shots of the girls in their spider-suits throughout a good portion of the trailer, and those sequences were barely included in the film. They used those sequences to make their trailer look better, but somehow the trailer was still absolutely awful. It's wild. I never thought Sony could stoop lower than Morbius. I rate this movie 3.7/10.

My quiz for Madame Web will be uploaded in the coming days.

Deadpool & Wolverine Teaser Thoughts

Yes! It finally arrived! The teaser trailer for Deadpool 3 dropped right before Super Bowl LVIII. This was surely one of the top highlights of the night (the Super Bowl is lower since the Chiefs won ;-;). This teaser does a really good job at teasing what is to come in this thrilling movie, and I just cannot wait for July 26. And with the dropping of the trailer came the official title announcement. The movie has been officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine. How exciting is that? This is definitely my most anticipated movie for this year.

Echo Thoughts

In the first week of February, I got around to the first three episodes of the mini-series. Since it's been a few weeks since then, my memory isn't as strong in regards to the specific details of each episode, and my singular takes for each episode. However I do know the show had me intrigued. I hadn't anticipated to draw me in as much as it did, since it seems to be one of Marvel's irrelevant shows that nobody asked for- although I really do think it's not so bad so far. I won't go so far to say it's amazing or great, but its definitely not as bad as I imagined it would be.

X-Men '97 Trailer Thoughts

This looks cool. I don't think I'm the target demographic for this show, and I haven't been totally into Marvel Animation's productions either, but I will be sure to check it out eventually. That's really all I got for this trailer.

The FINAL Cast for the MCU's Fantastic Four...

We have waited for this moment for years. And just this Valentine's Day, it was revealed to us the official cast of Marvel's first family, the Fantastic Four. Here it is:
Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic
Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm / Invisible Woman
Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch
Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing

Wow... let's look at this. First off, Pedro Pascal had already been rumored for a few months prior to this official announcement, so this didn't come off as a complete surprise. Then we have the casting of Vanessa Kirby as The Invisible Woman. I'm not so familiar with her works, however she looks the role, so I'm down. Then there's Joseph Quinn as Human Torch. Joseph Quinn is most famous for his role in Stranger Things as Eddie. I have not seen Stranger Things (since I don't have Netflix), however he seems to be a fan-favorite. I'm assuming this means he is a good actor, which has me on board for this casting. And lastly, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing. Once again, I am not familiar with his works, but I am so for this casting. This new announcement also came with a new reshuffling of release dates for the MCU. Here's the current schedule for the MCU.

Phase 5:

Deadpool & Wolverine - July 26, 2024

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries - October 2024

Captain America: Brave New World - February 14, 2025

Thunderbolts - May 2, 2025

Phase 6:

The Fantastic Four - July 25, 2025

Blade - November 7, 2025

Avengers 5 - May 1, 2026

Avengers: Secret Wars - May 7, 2027

I'm so excited for the future of the MCU, especially seeing that they now will be adding the Fantastic Four to the mix of characters already included in the universe.

Superman: Legacy Title Change

Filming for Superman: Legacy commenced yesterday, February 29, and with this came a change to the title of the movie. James Gunn announced the new title of the movie, as well as the emblem that will be included on Superman’s suit (aka the Superman S). The new title of the movie is “Superman.” I feel like this is a little underwhelming since it’s so simplistic. I kind of like Superman: Legacy, but I’m okay with just Superman. Superman will be in theaters July 11, 2025.

Thank You!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this month’s CQMB. Be sure to stay tuned for the next CQMB which will release on the first of April.

Yessss Deadpool Three trailer looked so fire. Me and my friends were all watching the Super Bowl when it came on and when the fricken TVA showed up we were all so excited. The number of easter eggs in the trailer was wild as well.

Madame Web sucked so bad, I kinda expected it but cmon Sony, "Keep on Webbing!?!?!?"

I lost interest in Echo after two episodes. It wasn't bad at all, I just had other stuff to watch I was a bit more invested in.

Also how many times are they going to change the names of their Phase 5 Movies? I personally think "New World Order" sounds much more ominous and just sorta cooler than "Brave New World..."

I always look forward to these blogs! Keep them coming!

(:

Yeah that Deadpool & Wolverine trailer had me like squealing 💀

Yeah, Madame Web was seriously a joke- I’m just wondering how long this Spider-Man universe will last before Sony decides they’re losing too much money 😂

I think they changed it from New World Order to Brave New World cuz New World Order means something else irl that relates to politics. So I think they were just tryna keep it separate from that. The upcoming Agatha show is the worst though! It was originally Agatha: House of Harkness, then changed to Agatha: Coven of Chaos, then to Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, and I saw one source saying it could possibly change again to Agatha All Along. That last detail is not confirmed, but still that’s crazy.

Yeah I’ve had trouble getting to Echo too. Doesn’t have the same interest pull as Loki and WandaVision 😕

Thanks for checking out my blog again Nazgul! Always look forward to your comments!

The Marvels was terrible, and I really hope Captain America: New World Order is good. Marvel really needs a good movie now more than ever

Like the blogs :)

Yeah, I have a good feeling Deadpool & Wolverine will help bring the MCU back to higher status.

Not as sure about Brave New World- I’m a little worried about that one but it sounds like they’re doing extensive reshoots to meet the fans’ wants, so I’m crossing my fingers.

Thanks for checking my blog out!

Also am I the only kind of confused why Marvel seems to be going 2 different directions? They’re releasing R-Rated movies like Deadpool, but they are also releasing more movies that seem like they’re more centered to kids like the Marvels. The producer even said something like they were trying to make a lighter mood and funny movie.

Brave New World stuff makes sense- I looked it up lol

Yeah the Agatha thing is ridiculous, every single time each of the names get worse.

Heres how I see Brave New World being good- Follow a grounded realistic approach to the movie, make sure the fighting is actually choreographed and not CGI baloney they keep using. Then they have to make a compelling story, all of these reasons are why I thought Winter Soldier was one of the best Marvel movies- The bad guys need to be dangerous enough to make an impact, but not some new world ending threat they introduce in every movie.

In all, Marvel cannot try to top what they already have, stop trying to make bigger threats than Thanos, Endgame and Far From Home modeled this. Far From Home was nowhere near the scale of Endgame, but was still a very enjoyable movie.

Quizbyquiz- Marvel seems to be really scrambled up recently. However it seems like now they’re trying to get back on track. The current CEO (Bob Iger) of Disney was responsible for the management of the Infinity Saga, and then stepped down in 2020. His replacement was Bob Chapek, who was responsible for Phase 4 and the beginning of Phase 5. Yes, they the CEOs weren’t the sole reason for these contrasts in quality, but they played a big role. Now, Bob Iger is back as CEO, and major shifts are being seen at Disney as a whole. Disney has Moana 2, Zootopia 2, and Frozen III releasing soon, Pixar has Inside Out 2 and Toy Story 5 on the way, and Marvel is spreading out their schedule more and beginning to focus on quality over quantity. Iger re-entered his position in 2022, and it took some time before all of Chapek’s planned projects follow through. Now in 2024, things are starting to play into effect. I’m expecting that Deadpool & Wolverine is where we’ll especially see that turn-around.

Nazgul- Agreed. I feel like I’m seeing Marvel really trying to aim for these grounded stories for the future. I mean, they’ve been doing reshoots for Brave New World I believe as a result of complaints about current projects, and Marvel is fighting Sony to have Spider-Man 4 be a street-level movie (Sony wants it to be similar to No Way Home- they want Tobey and Andrew back lol). I think Marvel is at a point right now where they’re struggling, and now more than ever they’re turning to the fans to see where they need to improve.

Also, about Brave New World, about a year back there seemed to have been a description on the movie’s plot- I’m not sure how true it’ll end up being, but this is what it sounds like the plot will be:

It’s discovered that Tiamut Island (the celestial protruding from the sea in Eternals) is made of Adamantium, some new metallic resource. President Thunderbolt Ross wants ahold of it, and Captain America is trying to prevent that.

…or something along those lines.
