  2. *sigh*

    I want a complete MCU with the X-Men and all I need quality wise is for it to NOT SUCK.

    Is that really so much to ask?

  3. This is a good way of explains of why marvel movies are so shitty

  7. He has also said that this filming experience has been a breathe of fresh air. Meaningless clickbait

  10. Are we expecting Nightcrawler to show up in this one? 👀

  11. I’m betting this is a lie so people won’t ask him if there are people in the movie that we don’t know about. 🤣

  12. I think there is a reason we see so much spiderman filming scenes to hype it up. That movie will probably be good and the rest will suck.

  13. Sounds like the bro is going to die early in the film

  14. “I did the entire film in isolation,” Cumming told Gold Derby. “Lots of green screen, face replacement. They even gave characters fake names. I don’t know who I was acting with half the time.”

    Intriguingly, Cumming appeared to then reference a previous statement he made about sharing a fight scene with Reed Richards actor Pedro Pascal, and suggested what he had said may actually not be the case due to this confusion.

    “I broke the internet by mentioning something once,” Cumming noted, “but honestly, I might have got it wrong.”

  15. I mean a good paycheck is a good paycheck but that’s gotta be weird to just not know what character you’re even talking to

  16. “Great so, who is my character saying ‘I love you’ to?”

    “You let us worry about that, Alan.”

  18. That’s how green screens work. Although scripts clearly tell actors who they’re acting with.

  19. I’m starting to think a lot of these actors are gonna be in cameos or montages, like the ending of Return of the Jedi that shows different planets etc

  21. Imagine acting like you’re teleporting or shooting energy beams from your hands. It must feel ridiculous and you’re reeeeally putting faith in the director and effects team

  22. More and more I can understand why Ian McKellen cried during the filming of the Hobbit.

  23. So in regards to nightcrawlers abilities and excessive green screen, (it makes total sense btw), but the scene(s) could be BATSHIT crazy cool.

  26. Ian McClellan also had big issues with green screen/split acting during the Hobbit

  31. Wow this really makes me want to go see this now. The acting must be top tier. Not.

  33. I’m just glad he’s securing that bag, who cares about the ‘quality’ of these awful movies
