RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

  Spoiler: More F4 Casting 

Sue is officially down to A and B.

A is Iger choice in all casting
B is Feige choice

A = Margot Robbie
B= Rachel Brosnahan

Robbie wants the moon and Feige brought her in for X-Men casting potential. But, she wants to get paid.

Brosnahan just wants a Disney deal for the next 5-10 years.

It will either be 1 of the 2.

[Matt]

Both are good choices. Different choices but solid either way.
I think option B is better as she has not had a superhero role and would not have any baggage. Option A has an association with DC that would be hard to shake. Also, she is borderline box office poison at the moment. We'll see how her new movie shakes out to break that cycle.

[Captain Russ]

I just can't see how you can justify a huge payout to box office poison

[Abraham Smashington]

wait, how is she poison? She was fantastic in Amsterdam. But I agree, the second choice could totally work. The first one just reminds me the Alba thing again.

Most of her movies much like Amsterdam tend to be bombs and make zero dollars.

Barbie will go a long way to buck the trend. But, she's batting a 75% bomb rate.

No different than King of the Flops Ryan Reynolds. But Hollywood still stubbornly swears he's a butts-in-seats movie star.

But, he's made money for FOX/Disney and recency bias triumphs all.

[Anderson]

Even more

  Spoiler: Shit is coming in fast and furious, so I'm expecting an announcement soon again. 

Doom will be a background player as of latest script, but will appear in 3-4 other projects now to set him up more for Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.

Silver Surfer is one of 4 Heralds of Galactus in the movie. Surfer will get a Disney+ series 6 months after film release to explain his back story and the consequences of F4 movie.

Since Doom changes, Driver has agreed in principle to be Reed Richards.
Maisel vs. Margot for Sue. But, Margot wants a producing credit alongside the role and even Iger is like FUCK THAT.
The Rock vs. Rogen for The Thing and Rogen is winning out.
Johnny Storm is anyone's guess at this point, but it's not Elvis. Elvis is going to be at WB for probably the next 5-10 years.

Mila Kunis was offered Alicia Masters but passed in favor of being in the X-Men pool for 2026 and beyond.

Heralds of Galactus - Terrax, Firelord, Airwalker, Surfer

Banderas is all but confirmed for Galactus.

T Bolts and NWO got rewrote to help set up the coming of Galactus.

Galactus will be in F4, Surfer show, Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.

  Spoiler: Can you smell what I'm cooking? *Sniffs* Oh... my apologies. 

Obviously Johnson is going to the MCU.

I would argue Kang is his destination.

[Matt]

I'm taking this out of the spoiler tags as it's all over the internet. Reports are that Margot Robbie has been flat out offered the gig of Sue Storm

[FilmNerdJamie]

That passed the smell test.

She was never going to be Harley Quinn again anyway. Like Cavill, the public just didn't take to her in the role and she doesn't "need" it. Especially after when Barbie explodes and beats the ever-living-fuck out of Oppenheimer.

Have to respect Disney for that cuck of a move.

[Matt]

OPPENHEIMER should be THE prestige picture of November. I'm baffled that they don't see that.

Offers aren't guarantees. She countered and that counter with a caveat is what I'm talking about.

Feige ain't giving that up and neither is Iger.

Now, if she held out for X-Men, maybe. Because those cats are supposed to be getting points to land names for the massive project. Even if that is super super super early in the wind.

  Spoiler: Seven Bucks Shakedown 

The Rock is up the MCU's ass, so you're going to be hearing about him for everything until Feige and Iger just shove him into a role.

[Matt]

What does a producer credit give her? Would it just mean 'more money' for Robbie or is there something else? I've always wondered what it meant when you see actors with producer credits.

More money, back end points depending on the contract, the direct ability to control scheduling and basically derails the MCU plans if they don't suit her career.
