Analysis Of Joss Whedon: The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish had originally written a treatment of Ant-Man for Artisan Entertainment, but since Artisan was searching for a family-oriented film, they decided to not go with the script. Back in April of 2006, Marvel Studios asked Wright if he was interested in writing a script for any Marvel titles, and this is when Wright offered up the Ant-Man script. Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish were signed to co-write together while Wright also signed to co-produce with Nira Park (Wiki).

Marvel Worldwide, Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics (formerly Marvel Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Comics Group) is an American publisher of comic books and related media. Marvel, founded by Martin Goodman, started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel 's modern incarnation dates from 1961, the year that the company launched The Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others. Marvel is a very successful company and has survived for 75 years so far.

When the term “X-Men”, comes to my mind, I immediately deem of an individuals with their own unique abilities, lovable characters, their characteristics features, qualities, traits, aspects with cool special costumes. I’m sure of it, everyone gets the impression of the X-Men same way as I does. The X-Men are superheroes with the powers, fighting bad guys and making the world peaceful and standing up for what is right and fair. Am I correct? However, as I grew older, my conscience begin to comprehend that X-Men were more than the superheroes. They were born with an unique “gifts” that granted them superhuman strengths that makes them totally different from the rest of the normal people. We call them the “Mutant”. What is a Mutant?

The role of a producer in the filmmaking process involves financial and technical responsibilities, as well as creative responsibilities. As the industry evolved, producers were typically associated with the financial and technical side of filmmaking, more so than the creative side. However, in the last three decades, more and more producers are being recognized for their creative involvement (Pardo 2). In 1997, David Heyman, a British film producer, discovered the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling (McNary). Almost immediately, Heyman began working to secure the film rights, having no idea that he was embarking on a project that, according to IMDb, would become the highest grossing film franchise in history (IMDb). His creative involvement, on the production of the films, stems from the fact that he truly loves the Harry Potter book series. The success of the franchise had much to do with what can be referred to as the “Potter formula”: Heyman’s direct involvement in the novel to film adaption process, his decision to work with a team of Potter fans, many of which returned to work on all 8 installments, and his careful selection of directors who shared his vision. This “Potter Unit” of returning cast and crew members included writer Steve Kloves, production designer Stuart Craig, the majority of cast members, as well as many more. Having produced all

Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, the cast and crew of the fourth film were told to set aside time in the near future, as Walt Disney Pictures intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back (like the first two sequels).[23] However, it was later stated that only a fifth film was in the works. On January 11, 2013, Jeff Nathanson signed on to write the script for the film.[24] Rob Marshall, the director of the last film, was believed for return to direct,[25] but he declined after he chose to direct Into the Woods[26] (released in 2014) and The Thin Man[27] (both projects for Disney and starring Johnny Depp). After Marshall passed on the project, many directors were rumored for direct the film, like Tim Burton, Sam

Joss Whedon does not have an origin as dramatic as some comic book heroes, but his story is almost as unbelievable in filmmaking today: a transformation from a typecast fan favorite to the writer and director of some of the most successful movies of all time. He began his career as a lesser-known—but undeniably talented—sitcom writer in 1988, but his fame in Hollywood really began when Marvel sought him out in 2010 to write and direct The Avengers. Whedon’s varied experience in the movie industry, unique skill set, and passions for writing and creating made him the perfect fit for the project; and they have helped him become one of the most admired screenwriters of the 21st century. He knows the creative process that works best for him when writing, and he used this same process when writing the script for The Avengers. He believes that writing from a director’s point of view, being a willing and able collaborator, and finding balance in characters will lead to a great film. Applying these constants to his writing process for The Avengers, Whedon created a coherent and compelling story that balances the characters’ heroism with their humanity.

Another break-up occurred with Kevin Spacey. Who not only was fired by Netfllix ,but replaced from a movie that he had already filmed and was set to be released in less than a month. Ridley Scott, producer of an upcoming fact-based hostage thriller replaced Spacey with Christopher Plummer and re-filmed all the scenes while maintaining the same release date. Scott is an example of filmmakers that are regaining control of their projects who are threatened to be overshadowed by the actor’s bad publicity.

They’re Back!! The events of Civil War II has created some major shake ups with Stark Holdings that has left Dr. Val Ventura, AKA Flatman, as the holder of the Avenger name. The Avengers lawyer, Connie Ferrari, comes to Milwaukee the former HQ of the Great Lakes Avengers (before the eventual cease and desist by the Avenger) and current home of Flatman. Negotiations for the Avengers name reach a dead end even as Val is offered a sizeable amount of money. The only thing he is willing to exchange the rights for is for the Great Lakes Avengers to become a permanent feature of the Avengers which after hours of negotiations Connie caves in.

And in August this year, Dwayne Johnson reveal that it will not a reboot but a continuation of the original film. Johnson, as people called him "The Rock", earlier signed to star the movie and said that the new film will honor Robin Williams. The Rock cannot hide his excitement as he shared some of the photos during their shoot in Hawaii.

Even though he is not a key part of Marvel now he still makes a debut in every film they make from his comics.

B. Relevance: Have any of you seen a Spider-Man movie? What about Thor or Iron Man? Very few of us in this room can say we have not seen an action packed Marvel movie at least once. Since its humble beginnings in 1939, Marvel has revolutionized not only the comic book world, but also set the bar incredibly high for all potential superhero movies. Marvel is completely relevant to the yearly cinema culture we find ourselves in the midst of, and continues to grow in popularity.

As the thrill and nostalgia for Western films fizzled out, the appeal of space travel became the forefront of interest among movie goers. Joss Whedon’s short lived show Firefly depicted life in the world 500 years into the future after a civil war between the galactic government known as the Alliance, and the rebel forces known as the Browncoats. Whedon’s film Serenity, is a continuation of the show that follows Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew. The film falls into the space western genre, and Malcolm Reynolds displays characteristics of a futuristic cowboy. Unlike the television series, the film gives background to Miranda, a utopian city where River Tam was taken by the Alliance for her training, however it is more so a dystopian

Now Marvel has over 15 movies and all of them are amazing Guardians Of The Galaxy blew my mind And I didn’t even know who they were at the time. My third reason is Marvel actually knows what to do with their characters. Now don’t get me wrong DC can do some good things with their characters. Like how they did Batman and the Flash but that’s about it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the 16th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 3rd reboot of the titular character in less than 20 years. Directed by Jon Watts, the film stars Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr., among others. Quite frankly, Homecoming is the

of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War (Menard, 2014). For sake of time, only Winter Soldier and Iron Man 3 will be
