A new rumor suggests an A-Force movie is in development at Marvel Studios with a roster that includes Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel and Natalie Portman’s Female Thor.


The rumor comes from We Got This Covered, who reveal their source tells them the team will not only include Captain Marvel and Female Thor, but will also feature America Chavez as Miss America, Valkyrie, and She-Hulk.


In fact, their source tells them the newly announced She-Hulk Disney+ series will lead to the formation of the A-Force team.


As one can expect in modern Hollywood, the source also indicates Disney is looking for a female writer and female director for the project.


An all-female Marvel team-up movie has been talked about for a couple of years now. Thor: Ragnarok actress Tessa Thompson discussed the possibility about such a film back in February 2018. (Related: Kevin Feige Talks About All-Women Marvel Movie!)




In fact, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige endorsed the idea:




He did note:
A single episode of Happy Days was immortalized when the world coined the phrase "jump the shark" to describe that moment when a TV series reaches the end of a good run and turns to shit.

After this is released, the phrase "A-Force" will be immortalized as meaning that moment when a movie empire that makes more than the GDP of medium-sized countries turned to shit and disappeared forever.

I think we have gotten into a mindset that MCU movies must be all the same formula and appeal bracket. I personally have no issue if they decide to branch out and make more targeted movies. It actually makes good business sense to do this. Look at the financial success of Black Panther.
I'm totally ok with movies targeting a Wakandan demographic, a SJW demographic, an LBGTQEIEIO demographic. Odds are I wont pay to see them, but assuming they also make more traditional MCU flicks I'll pay to see those. It's like all the new fake meat burgers. I wont eat one but I dont care that they are being made.

Times change. I remember movies being made with white folks playing asians. So now that we are putting asians playing asians its targeted pandering?

Idris Elba didn't detract in any way for me being a black Asgardian. Realistically all Asgardians should have been white and blonde. Same with a Sam Jackson Nick Fury. If someone can act, they can act.

There are times when it's obvious pandering. The abominations that were the all female Oceans 11 or Ghost Busters.

Make a good movie with good actors and solid writing and I'll watch it.

There's some obvious racism going against redheads lately. It's not about who they cast instead it's the fact they are deliberately NOT casting ginger hotness.

And people wonder why SJW bullshit is allowed to thrive.

The fact they turn white wakanda(asgard) into a multicultural 21st century pipe dream utopia but leave Wakanda as dark as night while also throwing in some snide remarks about whitey should tell you something.

I hope your trolling because this is truly as stupid as the SJWs your railing against.

Let me lay it out for you. Speech, SJW or White Supremacist, is allowed to thrive if there are people who want to hear it. I actually abhor both the SJW and the WS spouting off. But in this country, they have the right to spew it whether I like it or not. That's what makes us greater than everyone else.

I dont go see LBGTQEIEIO films any more than I go see romcoms. That doesnt mean I feel their speech should be silenced. If enough like minded people feel the same way and the film producers lose lots of money they might CHOOSE to stop making them. The word choose is the key concept here.

Simply put, "SJW bullshit is allowed to thrive" because this is the United States. We allow (and sometimes even encourage) forms of expression to exist even when we dont agree with it.

These choices arent made in a vacuum of artistic reasoning or "gee we couldnt find anyone but elba to play heimdall". All you need to do browse the gamergate or captain marvel or star wars threads to see where this is all rooted. All this gender/race swapping, inclusion nonsense is a sympton of a far larger problem.

the whole argument sounds good on the surface, until you realize that they arent adding new SJW friendly characters. they are wokerizing already established iconic characters to virtue signal in current year. its ridiculous and has made me curtail my film watching to movies made before the woke era.

Its not asians playing asians, its X people playing traditionally white characters. If there was an issue with white people playing asians, why is this okay?

Holding someone to their own rules is not a bad thing. What you're doing is holding us to one set of rules (Merit), while their ideologues are held to a different set (Identity). For them, being black is important--its why Wakanda must be all black, its also why you need people of other races in more traditionally white backgrounds. For your merit is important, its why you don't care if a white religious figure is black. The problem here is...You don't seem to be calling out merit in a film like Black Panther, or places where it would be a traditionally "black" background or films which cater to "Wakandans" (OR any other niche). What, do you think no white person was a superior actor, even though due to the Demographics of the SAG you'd have 8 white actors for every 1 black actor? (Because the population of Britain,. Australia and the U.S,/Canada reflect that demographic skew).

If you choose not to enforce your rules, but they can enforce theirs, then you're just surrendering your rules without saying so. Your course of action can only lead to merit being, at best, a secondary qualifier--which no one who believes in merit would want. So why support this?

Oh, and its a silly red herring to make this a free speech argument. No one is asking their speech to be restricted through power of law. I, personally, just want people to see the double standard and hypocrisy and stop being so timid about calling it out. Its OKAY to hold people to the rules they demand you be held to. That's the only way to get people to be honest about their ideology and actually change it for the better. When people aren't held to their own rules, that's how you get hysterical mobs/ideologues who simply use ideology as a pretext to abuse and unfairly control others.

Youre defending the casting of a black dude as a Viking god? Not a serious person.

There are borderline, "grey area" kind of cases, and there are LMFAO obvious in-your-face kind of cases. This is the latter.

I'm not going to drag this into a deep politics/capitalism derail as we have threads for that. I dont care that your delicate sensibilities are offended by business marketing decisions that involve movie companies expanding revenue streams into flavor of the month SJW favorites.

And for all of the responders think their experience working the drive thru window at Wendy's gives you an insight into corporate decision making, well done. While artists/writers etc are assuredly pushing agendas, the people with that actual checkbooks making corporate decisions are greenlighting movies to make money and not to raise a rainbow flag. The exception to this is people like that daughter of Ellision who is pissing away daddy's money making shitty SJW films. That isnt a corporation.

You seem to be the one who is upset, now you're tossing insults and retreating from discussion. I get it. You dont want to admit you were brainwashed by progressive marketing. It happens to a lot of people who werent expecting it to happen in their films. I can assure you it happens everywhere. Wake up, son.

Do you even read people's posts before replying? Why would think I am upset about any of this? I was stating why some of you are wrong and being driven by a need to "fight the good fight" against SJW shit.

My being cognizant and respectful of the rules and not wanting to shit up a Marvel thread with what will be endless posts about politics, ideology and capitalism when we have threads for that equates to "retreating from discussion"? Lol

I wouldn't go that far. Lithose Lithose spent the time to give you a logical response to why if you allow 1, you MUST allow the other. Your response was a quick jab. Technically, the jab could have been to Aldarion Aldarion because he posted next, in which case you didn't choose to acknowledge the previous post at all. It's all very tiresome.

Imagine looking to be offended by SJWism or not enough SJWism in a movie. You're all fucking boomer baby whiners. Black Heimdall meant nothing for the movie and the only downside is Elba can't be used in the MCU elsewhere now.

Seriously, you guys go in looking for this shit to complain about rather than just watching the movie.

TLDR;

You're now the old whiney generation. But we'll use our terms.

You guys are fags.

You can't really believe this, can you?

You really think the market wants a gay couple in every movie and show? You think there are people who won't watch something unless there's at least one tranny? That the population is just clamoring for all the white actors to replaced by black guys?

Hollywood has an agenda and it's not even hidden. If you choose not to see it that's on you.
