After such a long period of preparation, Thanos's image as the overlord of the universe has been established, and the power of the Infinity Stones has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Because of this, "Avengers 3 and 4" have all the fans looking forward to it.
The DC movie universe did not do enough foreshadowing for Darkseid. When it appeared, many viewers even mistakenly thought he was Thanos.
Moreover, other heroes in "Justice League" also lack foreshadowing, such as Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash, etc. So when they appear, the audience doesn't even know who they are and has to search online.
In fact, if Xiang Nan were to arrange the DC universe, individual movies for Superman, Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash would be released first.
Among them, Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman can all lead to the Mother Box of All Things, and then lead to its original owner Darkseid.
After four movies, the magic of the Mother Box and the power of Darkseid have become a consensus. These heroes are already well-known, so just arrange a game with them at this time.
It's a pity that in order to catch up with Marvel, Warner hastily arranged for them to fight before the characters were foreshadowed. As a result, it not only failed miserably at the box office, but also suffered a complete loss in reputation. Especially "Justice League", it was even more criticized.
…
In addition, Warner has not made a good plan for the DC universe. It is completely a hammer in one direction and a hammer in the other.
For example, Nolan's "Batman" trilogy is really good, achieving the unity of commerciality and artistry. DC originally wanted to follow the style of "Batman" and expand its own movie universe.
Therefore, in "Man of Steel", Superman always looks bitter and bitter, torn between the earth and the Kryptonians.
Compared with the self-willed and carefree Iron Man, such a hard-working Superman is naturally not very popular.
The subsequent "Batman v Superman" and "Justice League" also pursued artistry too much and lacked entertainment and excitement, resulting in several movies that were not strong at the box office.
Therefore, after this, DC was ready to change its style, from Nolan's deep style to Marvel's entertainment style, and launched "Aquaman", "Shazam" and so on. And with all this fuss, five or six years were lost.
Because Warner has been suffering setbacks in the past five or six years, the DC movie universe has not released a few movies. After all the calculations, only five movies were released in five years.
By comparison, the Marvel Cinematic Universe releases five movies a year. In the past ten years, more than 40 superhero movies have been released, with profits exceeding 12 billion US dollars.
The profits of these five DC movies are up to US$700 million, a difference of more than ten times. And this is the difference!
…
However, DC is pretty good, and it can still make money, and if it is improved in the future, there will still be money to be made.
For example, Lionsgate was originally preparing to create the "Hellboy" universe. This comic is very influential in the United States and is all-encompassing.
It is a collection of Greek mythology, Nordic mythology, Eastern European mythology, Japanese mythology, Eastern mythology, and Indian mythology, with many heroes, many bosses, and a strong Cthulhu style.
If done well, it can actually be very attractive. For example, Guillermo del Toro made two previous "Hellboy" movies, which were very popular.
But it is a pity that the first "Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen" released by Lionsgate Pictures failed at the box office. The cost was US$50 million, and the global box office was only US$44 million. It was such a loss that even the cost was not recovered.
The first part of the "Hellboy" universe created by Lionsgate was so miserable that the entire project collapsed and was announced to be cancelled.
Fox Pictures launches "Alien" prequel "Prometheus" series. For this reason, Mr. Ridley Scott was specially invited back to take charge.
It's a pity that although the movie received great reviews, its box office performance was mediocre. Especially "Alien: Covenant", with an investment of US$97 million and a global box office of only US$230 million, it also made no money.
For this reason, Fox Pictures also stopped the creation of the "Alien" universe.
Sony Pictures originally wanted to use "Night of the Living Dead" to create a zombie universe. However, after "Night of the Living Dead" was released, it also failed miserably at the box office and suffered a complete loss in reputation.
It's not just that "Night of the Living Dead" has a ham-fisted plot and perfunctory special effects.
The key is that the "Resident Evil" series has just ended, and this series of movies is also about zombies. Although the reputation is not very good, the influence is great, and every movie can make money.
Jewelry first, "Night of the Living Dead" can only turn things around unless its quality is much higher than "Resident Evil". But unfortunately, it ultimately failed.
Therefore, although the movie universe makes money, only Universal Pictures is currently successful. And it’s not just one movie universe that’s successful, the X-Men universe, the Monsters universe, the Midnight Sons universe, the Harry Potter and Avengers universes are also successful.
This is really enviable.
Because it is unique in the movie universe, its stock price is also unique among many Hollywood film companies. Currently, its market value is over US$200 billion.
…
In February, after the Spring Festival, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan returned to Hollywood, and then began to prepare for the filming of "Rescue 3". At this time, he has also decided to play the role of Ancient One himself.
On the one hand, his acting skills are enough, and on the other hand, his identity is enough. For him to play the Ancient One can also increase the popularity of "Doctor Strange".
Moreover, the Marvel Universe is so popular that it would be a pity for him not to appear in it, so he would play the role of Ancient One.
However, because he also has to film "Rescue 3", the scenes in "Doctor Strange" can only be postponed for a while.
…
When the news that Xiang Nan was confirmed to play the role of Ancient One came out, it immediately exploded on Facebook, Twitter, Weibo and other media, and fans of the Marvel Universe were excited about it.
First of all, Xiang Nan is really suitable for this role. He has great martial arts skills and is proficient in Qigong. He really has the demeanor of a peerless master;
Secondly, over the years, Xiang Nan has always been the most popular actor in Hollywood, bar none. In the 1980s and 1990s, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, etc., all Unintentionally and gradually became obsolete.
Only Xiang Nan is still alive on the front line, and the movies he releases become hits every year. It has been popular for nearly 40 years, which is rare in the history of world cinema.
Therefore, it is really suitable for such a big star to join the Marvel Universe and play the role of the Supreme Sorcerer, who has profound magic and protects the earth. Everyone is looking forward to his performance.
