EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Taps Ava DuVernay To Direct Black Panther

no they didnt

"Last line is most important. She wanted an AVA film, Marvel wants a MARVEL film, and they couldn't come up with something in the middle. So, glad this just happened now and not in the middle of production. I want a MARVEL black panther film too....

On to the next one..."

a view i agree with

Depends on what you care about when you watch movies.

Marvel only has 2, maybe 3, movies that actually mean something outside of being a big budget action/comedy film. I like movies with underlying statements the way The Winter Soldier delivered.

Time will tell what kind of Black Panther movie Marvel wants. When that day comes, we'll see how deep or shallow it is. That's why I said IF her statement was truthful, Marvel lost. By the same token, she could be full of shit.

iron man 3?

Idk, i dont see Marvel trying that hard to have some big underlying message like, say Nolan put into the Dark Knight, with themes of terrorism, hostage capturing and government spying.

damn when you think about it Batman was kinda George W bush.

The Dark Knight trilogy were definitely reflections of society at the time - you already summed up TDK as a reflection of Bush-era, Republican ran society, and TDKR was more of the hangover/Obama-era with the failure of economic institutions and social inequality, echoes of Occupy Wall Street, French Revolution (A Tale of Two Cities being an influence), etc.

Nolan is an intelligent film maker though with a lot of persuasive influence and will go that far to try and add further context and themes into his films. Marvel just want to make money - getting a black woman to direct a Black Panther film is good PR but Marvel couldn't give a shit about a director's vision unless it matches their own. They have a set template for how their films are produced and want to stick with it.
