kafzielSo, we can be reasonably certain that there will be a Spider-Man 3, and this should surprise absolutely nobody. We can be equally certain that there will be an X-Men 3, and this should be equally unsurprising. However, this gives me an idea ... wouldn't it be approximately the coolest thing EVER if they were, in fact, the same movie?
Think about it. They're both Marvel comics. They take place in the same universe. Comics are known for constant crossovers. They need not even be just exactly the same movie, either; you could have Spiderman 3 and X-Men 3 tell the same story, but from different perspectives. Like, Spiderman 3 is Spiderman's take on the what happens, and X-Men 3 is their take on what happens. Hell, throw the Hulk and Daredevil in there, and brutally murder them both for having such horrible movies of their own.
I really don't see how it could go wrong.
Also, on the topic of the Green Lantern movie: OK, they're making it a zany, Mask-esque comedy, and Jack Black is starring as Green Lantern. This has caused fervor. Now, maybe it's just my lack of experience with Green Lantern, but I don't really see the problem with this. We have here a superhero who is, for all intents and purposes, omnipotent, but who is stopped by the color yellow. This is wacky and zany already. You can't make Green Lantern serious without either an idiot protagonist or inconsistent writing. As for the inclusion of Jack Black ... well, he can act, and he can be funny. Again, I don't see the problem.
