To rewind, this all stems back from the time in-between Marvel’s Avengers doing crazy good box office and Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 doing mediocre box office. The rest of us are just scratching our heads, because…what in the world? Maybe somebody out there did a backflip over this news. People were hyped about John Cena as Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad the moment he was announced.īut when news hit that Dakota Johnson is set to star in a movie about Madame Web? That’s the kind of news that has you pause for a moment before asking, “Really? Are you sure?” Maybe I’m wrong. There were certainly enough Jack Kirby fans psyched about Eternals. I mean, I for one was excited about Vin Diesel as Bloodshot until I actually watched the movie. When there’s casting news about an upcoming superhero movie, the hoped response is something along the lines of a fist pump and some level of, “Hey, awesome!” You’re always going to hit on a character somebody’s interested in.
