One of the reasons they need big name actors is to send them out on a worldwide publicity push on chat shows.
The assumption you made is entirely reasonable, most people might think the same thing
CGI can be incredibly expensive compared to using 'real' actors, depending on the film, some CGI productions take upto 500 animator on 6 figure salarys upto 2 years to make, compared to a 6-8 week shooting schedual for a live action production, it obviously depends of the actors involved in the film, the bigger the star the more they will cost, someone like Brad Pitt commands a $20 million plus fee, whete as an up and coming actor may work for peanuts, whete as CGI animators will always cost you big money. Pretty much all of the top 30 most costly films to make contain a huge amount of CGI animation.I honestly don't think they will for much longer. I watched "Raya" the other day, which was excellent, but I noticed a lot of the computer animation was totally indistinguishable from reality...the foliage, the hair, skin, movement of the characters. Filimg a movie is a load of hassle and expense...you will be able to make "real" animated movies for a fraction of the cost...4 people in an office with computers. Heck, don't even need an office...4 people on computers working from home
This is beautiuflly and intelligently put. It's what I was trying to say but am not as smart as you. Yes - you always know when they are coming, it's like a drum rhythym. Inevitable. Some of them really work and are great...most of them just seems to be there because...just because...

Yeah, don't you start too mate!
Souleater is a being entirely rendered through CGI, scores of animators are working on him as we speak...
I think we better get this back to "Upcoming Marevl Adaptations"...much as it's been a pleasure...
Its well underway in the comicsI think the Marvel Universe will be just like a reboot of the old Marvel Universe but gender swapped.
I believe there are plans to have Natalie Portmans character take over as 'Thor' in a new film.They also had a female Thor for a while in the comics.

Black Widow seem to be the first Marvel Universe flop - obviously their flops take millions more dollars than other people's, but after the first week, it seems interest has dropped dramatically. Some are blaming piracy, but maybe it's because she never had any personality to hang much of a movie on?
I'm not as down on her as Stephen Dorff is, mind you!
What? You and Dorff (to varying degrees) go down on SJ?

I feel like I'm suffering from super hero fatigue.
I can't bring myself to watch any of the DC shows at the moment, and I love Legends of Tomorrow; I still have all of last years Arrowverse shows to watch. However, I'm still fairly excited for the Marvel stuff. I enjoyed Wandavision, thought Falcon and Winter Soldier was OK, and have absolutely adored Loki. I'm very much looking forward to both the next live action Spider Man and the next Into the Spiderverse. It's interesting that both my boys (9 and 8) much prefer Miles Morales over Peter Parker.
I feel that we need a bit of a break from superheroes for a while. We need some good Sci-Fi - It's been a while since we heard anything about Netflix's Old Man's War adaptation; Apparently being adapted as a movie now rather than a series. That would make sense to me as the book isn't that dense and I struggle to see how you would drag it out. I could see an adaptation of each book as an individual movie though.

Saw one. It was shit. Didn’t watch another one.Have you watched Batwoman? Dark, violent, very much an adult show.
I hope they deliver Old Man's War.
