I think Fox owns the rights to both of those.So you want...
No, no, wait... wrong one.
I'd like to agree, but man that movie has hit so many road bumps I wonder if it's just going to get canned.Fox pulls Gambit from line-up, no longer has a release date.
I'm betting they are doing heavy script rewrites to hit a hard R after the success of Deadpool. Gambit could probably use the higher rating.
Possibly that too.I'd like to agree, but man that movie has hit so many road bumps I wonder if it's just going to get canned.
Thought #1: And nothing of value was lost.Fox pulls Gambit from line-up, no longer has a release date.

Yeah, you're right. I'm just completely exhausted and posted it in the wrong thread. *shrug*Thought #1: And nothing of value was lost.
Thought #2: Shouldn't this go in the Movie News thread? This has nothing to do with the Marvel/Netflix shows.
It happens. No worries, man.Yeah, you're right. I'm just completely exhausted and posted it in the wrong thread. *shrug*
Well, I think it was io9 that suggested it was initially racist in the comics in the first place (white guy discovers culture, learns secrets better than the natives) and this was a chance to undo that. Additionally, they made the point that his being white doesn't really matter to his story at all, so he could be any ethnicity and it would be virtually the same. I don't know enough about the character to say otherwise. I certainly don't feel any ownership over Iron Fist's ethnicity.So people are whining that Danny Rand shouldn't have been a white guy.
Even though the character is a white guy.
Apparently he should have been cast as an Asian-American, because reasons. The reasons basically sounding like they could all be prefaced with "I'm not a racist, but..."
Except it completely changes the dynamic of the Luke Cage/Iron Fist friendship and the social implications of it from the period in which it was forged (the early 70's). There would be no underlying commentary about how it was possible for white and black people to simply get a long instead of constantly trying to undermine each other if Iron Fist wasn't himself white. It would be a completely different dynamic; that of two minority heroes bonding and working together in a world where they were both constantly being shit on. That's a fine story, but it's also not the story of Heroes for Hire.Well, I think it was io9 that suggested it was initially racist in the comics in the first place (white guy discovers culture, learns secrets better than the natives) and this was a chance to undo that.

I think they already made a movie where they played with mixing up the ethnicity angle.his being white doesn't really matter to his story at all, so he could be any ethnicity and it would be virtually the same.
That helmet looks ridiculous. I mean, I can understand not going with the... snakescale weave whatever jumpsuit... but that helmet looks like a small child fashioned it out of things he found around the kitchen.

Honestly, just lose the helmet and it looks like a solid translation of his comics costume.
Iron Fist
Plane crash?
iPod from 2004?
Insane asylum?
Fake beard is fake, but ok I'm willing to give it a shot.
Luke Cage
Hoping this doesn't turn out to be "Hancock: The TV Series," and also hoping it doesn't become a place for up-and-coming artists to show off their new mixtapes. More interested in this one than Iron Fist, honestly. I don't know, maybe it's because it's more relateable? Less challenging to write?
