Also again Dr. Strange (allegedly an unknown character) did more money than Thor 1 and Thor 2. Hulk didn’t have a sequel because the first one wasn’t considered a hit. There is not a “material” or “factual” reason for Dr Stange being just a Thor sidekick or for him to be used as Hulk in other charcater’s movies. His origin movie was more popular than theirs based in the numbers.
The rest is just an opinion piece by a fanboy.
Having said that I like how both Mark Ruffalo and Scarlet Johansson managed their careers outside Marvel since they joined in. I don’t know if it’s becase they have more free time or not (they still are in a lot of movies) but they probably have the better or at least more interesting careers outside Marvel of the original Avengers IMHO

In my non-expert opinion, Doctor Strange was pretty good and I probably would have enjoyed it even if it had starred someone other than Benedict. But I don’t think he gets enough credit for its success. Sure, there are Marvel fans who go see all the movies - people who’ve never heard of Benedict or Sherlock and have no idea who he was before Doctor Strange. But there are Benedict fans - like me - who see those movies only because of him. He has said before that he wanted to bring a whole new audience to Shakespeare when he did Hamlet, and I think he has done that with Marvel, too. I was a fan of the old Superman (with Christopher Reeve) and Batman movies, but they were nothing like these Marvel movies.

Is anyone else sick of Scarlett J.? She’s in *everything.* Yes, she has a blockbuster career, but I don’t find her that great of an actress. Imo, of course. And I’m very curious how Hemsworth’s career is going to pan out. His turn as Thor in both the recent movies (but especially IW) was so well done. He’s really grown as an actor. His movies always seem to bomb, tho. Or, not *bomb* (witness Kevin Spacey’s $126 opening last weekend - that’s a bomb, lol) but don’t do terrifically. I’m afraid he’s got a pretty boy curse.
I do like Ruffalo all the way around. Good actor, good person, good choices in roles.

I’m not talking about Johansson’s blockbuster career but her work with people like Jonathan Glazer, the Coen brothers and Noah Baumbach. Those projects are exciting!
It’s ok not like to like her but IMO she is “suffering” a backlash maybe because she was just named the best paid actress and yes, she is everywhere, it’s kind of normal. I think some attacks against her are just good old misogyny.

I was a fan of the old Superman (with Christopher Reeve) and Batman movies, but they were nothing like these Marvel movies. I found Doctor Strange pretty entertaining; not perfect, but good. IMHO, some of what Benedict brought to it is hard to quantify...in a different actor’s hands it could have been much less than it was, Ok maybe, or even gone off the rails a bit. But his skills, charisma, athleticism/poise and ability to convey intelligence/interior life of his characters brought a lot to it. And all that continues to play out in Strange’s smaller MCU appearances and A4:IW. The only negative I’ve seen is his inability to speed-grow a goatee, because the way his expressions are stifled by the paste-on goatee is a drag. That and some of his attempts at American vowel pronunciations (O’s especially) LOL I really hope that McAdams is back for DS2...I love how she played off BC and I have developed a bit of a girl-crush on her . Saw Game Night recently and it was fun. She was a big part of that!

I don’t know iif this is relevant to this movie but apparently today should had begun The Guardians of the Galaxy pre-production. According to Variety, 20 crew members went too work and Disney told them to go home and gave them permission to accept other projects.

It looks like it’s “indefinitely” on hold.
