Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Jonathan Majors story is weird. Apparently his girlfriend has now retracted her statement. Which I know doesn’t mean it didn’t happen but is also why I can’t decide what happened and if he was physically abusive or not.  Ezra Miller is more bizarre. They were accused of multiple felonies, including kidnapping and burglary and he has been kept in both the Fantastic Beast films and The Flash with WB basically saying nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actively building literally every film around him for the next phase of Marvel so if its true then shit is going to hit the fan. Assuming that they do sack him off - and you assume they'd have to - then the "Multiverse" aspect can cover a multitude of sins; it gives them an out to recast pretty much any character as just an alternate version of themselves, and handwave away why this is the main one now. There are few characters easier to recast in that regard than someone like Kang. The downside to that is that he was being geared up as a major villain across multiple movies, and has likely filmed a bunch of stuff already that they'd need to can and reshoot. But it's Disney, I'm sure they'll cope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's Disney, I'm sure they'll cope. Am sure they could just recast him without the need for any storyline justification. People were OK with the Dumbledore recast (I mean, alright - they had to be, but it seems they were perfectly fine with Gambon), and, closer to Marvel, they were OK with the War Machine recast with Don Cheadle, even though that's a less high-profile character. If they absolutely had to justify it in the storyline, the character is of sufficient technological advancement that he could just decide to have some kind of cosmetic rebuild after some disfiguring incident or something.

Guest Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Anyone who watches soaps knows how this is done. Just have someone ask "Is that a new haircut?" and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree but they really made it difficult for themselves by Spoiler having a scene at the end of Ant man with him portraying every variant of himself  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nick James Posted April 12, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2023 The comments to the Tom Skinner accusations are exactly as you'd imagine, "Lads' defending their own type and discrediting the poor lass. Never heard of Tom Skinner, so googled him and realised I'd seen him in a few things and I honestly thought it was a gimmick character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All saying it couldn't possibly be true because she wouldn't have used certain language etc. Or there's no way it would've happened multiple times and she wouldn't have told anyone. Clearly these guys all know the proper way to deal with being raped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stuff they got away with in actual released films is mind boggling, so what they could have been up to off set doesn't bear thinking about.
