DOCTOR DOOM VS. THE AVENGERS... THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE HYPE IS SO HIGH. 🔥 One thing this fan concept gets right is the scale. Doctor Doom shouldn't feel like just another MCU villain. He has to feel different from Thanos and Kang. In the comics, Doom isn't simply a genius inventor—he's a master strategist, a ruler, and one of the most powerful sorcerers in Marvel history. He's the kind of villain who wins battles before they even begin. That's why a final battle in Avengers: Doomsday shouldn't be about heroes rushing toward Doom. It should feel hopeless. The Avengers should be completely overwhelmed. Every punch, every blast, every attack should make it clear that they're fighting someone who combines Tony Stark's intelligence, Doctor Strange's magic, and Thanos' ambition into a single character. That's what makes Doom terrifying. This concept captures that atmosphere surprisingly well. The dark tone, the massive battlefield, and the feeling that the Avengers are facing an impossible enemy are exactly what fans expect from Doomsday. If Marvel can deliver a final battle that truly makes Doctor Doom feel unstoppable... This could easily become the greatest Avengers movie ever made. This is a fan-made concept inspired by MCU rumors and comics—not official Marvel footage. #AvengersDoomsday #DoctorDoom #Marvel #MCU

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy didn’t just redefine Batman, it reshaped how superhero films are made. Nolan insisted on practical effects over CGI, even flipping a real 18 wheel truck in The Dark Knight (2008) without digital tricks. Christian Bale’s Batman was grounded in realism, fear, and psychology rather than comic-book spectacle, while Heath Ledger’s Joker was written without a fixed backstory to feel truly chaotic. Nolan also became the first director to bring IMAX cameras into a superhero film, changing the visual scale of the genre forever. Batman wasn’t just a hero here , he was a cinematic experiment that worked. 🦇

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey is a promise he made to himself at 16, watching a volcano documentary in a dome-screen IMAX in Chicago. Christopher Nolan: "Going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago when I was 16 years old, seeing a documentary about volcanoes in the OmniMax format, and thinking... why on earth isn't Hollywood using this format? I always wanted to be a director. If I ever got the chance, could I shoot a film in this way?" Christopher Nolan: "I called my friends at IMAX and said, look... if ever we're going to make a film entirely on IMAX, this is The Odyssey. This is the one. Can you find a way to alleviate the limiting factor? The cameras are extremely loud." Christopher Nolan: "What they did is they came up with a way of blimping the camera... a high-tech box that silences it. The thing weighed about 300 pounds. But it let us, for the first time ever, get the quiet scenes, the dramatic scenes, and therefore do the whole film."

Christopher Nolan told TIME the ending of Homer's Odyssey was too grim and misogynistic to keep, so he cut it. That instinct reached the landscape too: Nolan filmed his underworld scenes on Iceland's black sand beach at Hjorleifshofdi, standing in for Hades. Homer's Odysseus never apologizes for the Trojan Horse. He brags about it. That's kleos: glory earned by being unmistakably good at what he did. Nolan's Odysseus treats kleos as a wound to confess. Gladiator got the hero epic right twenty-five years ago. Hollywood forgot. Full essay: Every generation thinks the world is ending. It never is.

Christopher Nolan just visited Mumbai to promote The Odyssey — but did you know it’s not his first time there? He famously shot ‘Tenet’ in Mumbai, which co-starred Dimple Kapadia, and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in Jodhpur. Actors Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, and Tom Holland, who plays his son Telemachus, also joined Nolan. “No one brings energy to a movie theater like you do here,” Holland told Indian fans. Mumbai is the third stop on The Odyssey’s global tour, after London and Paris.

Christopher Nolan almost lost The Odyssey before it even finished filming. While flying into Scotland with the IMAX film cans, airport customs opened every single one of them. The same footage that took months to shoot across six countries… one bad light exposure away from being completely ruined. Nolan sat there and watched it happen. He later told Jimmy Fallon: “They opened up all the cans. It was a massive amount of film cans… and they did not actually expose it. We were able to rescue it.” When Fallon asked if he was sweating, Nolan just said: “Oh yeah. Big time.” One of the most ambitious films ever made… nearly destroyed by airport security. The Odyssey era almost never happened

The greatest warrior who ever lived was told, after his death, that he should be happy. His answer is one of the most devastating things ever written... Achilles had been given a choice while alive: a long, quiet, forgotten life at home, or a short one at Troy that would make his name immortal. He chose glory. He chose to die young and be remembered forever. In the Odyssey, Odysseus goes down into the land of the dead, and Achilles comes to meet him. Odysseus tries to comfort him. He tells him he has nothing to mourn: "For of old, when thou wast alive, we Argives honored thee even as the gods, and now that thou art here, thou rulest mightily among the dead. Wherefore grieve not at all that thou art dead, Achilles." You are the most blessed man who ever lived, he says. You were worshipped in life, and now you are a king among the dead. What is there to grieve? Achilles answers immediately: "Nay, seek not to speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I should choose, so I might live on earth, to serve as the hireling of another, of some portionless man whose livelihood was but small, rather than to be lord over all the dead that have perished." He would rather be a day labourer, working someone else's field, for a master so poor he can barely feed him. He would take that life over ruling every soul that ever died... Achilles chose to die young so that his name would live forever. And then, in the Odyssey, Homer let him speak from the other side of that choice. And this is his answer, to Odysseus and to us: being remembered is not the same as being alive. And the ordinary day you are living right now is the thing the greatest hero in the world would trade eternity to have back.

Christopher Nolan shot Troy at Aït Benhaddou, Morocco. He rejected CGI for on-location filming. Here we have a 1,200-year-old mud-brick ksar standing in the actual Sahara dust. He nailed the setting. The script for the Odyssey is a different story. Nolan built his Odysseus around Emily Wilson's phrase "the complicated man." She's now written that his script doesn't earn it. It's the same word, and the wrong century, according to the one who chose it. This fight is an old one. Alexander Pope got hit with almost the same complaint in 1725, three hundred years before anyone had heard of a movie screen. A different medium, the same argument, over the exact same Greek word nobody's ever fully translated. New story coming today on this old Odyssey argument. Every generation thinks the world is ending.

Christopher Nolan spent 12 days filming The Odyssey in Iceland. He used black sands near Hjörleifshöfði to build his Hades. He wanted the cold to mirror how far Odysseus had drifted from home. The landscape is stunning. But Nolan's biggest change to Homer isn't a mountain range. It's what happens inside Odysseus. In Homer, Odysseus tricks his way into Troy and spends the rest of the poem bragging about it. There is no apology. The Greeks called this kleos: glory earned by being good at what you did, not by feeling guilty after. Nolan's Odysseus, by early reports, treats that same trick as a wound to confess. Twenty-eight centuries of the story working one way, and 2026 wants it to run backward. My new piece breaks down why, and why Gladiator II made the exact same mistake in 2024.

Christopher Nolan reveals the first time an actor said no to him was David Bowie, and he had to personally beg him to change his mind. Jimmy Fallon: Have you ever gotten a “no”? Christopher Nolan: Have I ever gotten a “no”? Yeah, I have. Jimmy Fallon: Besides me when I said I didn’t want to do Batman. Christopher Nolan: The only “no” I’ll admit to is David Bowie for The Prestige. He was my great idol, and I thought he’d be perfect to play Nikola Tesla. Christopher Nolan: We sent him the script and everything, and he said no. It was the first time I ever went back and said, “Can I just go and meet him? Can I try and convince him in the room?” Christopher Nolan: They agreed, so I quickly wrote him a better speech for his first appearance, showed up with a new script, and basically begged. I managed to turn that “no” into a “yes.” Jimmy Fallon: Yes! But you did get a “no” from the coolest kid in school.

“There’s no denying it – Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey might be one of the greatest movies of all time” Chantelle Bozicevic - Nine News. The early mainstream reviews are in, and The Odyssey is an epic masterpiece! Yet I’m more inclined to trust Film Threat’s smart Asian friend Alan Ng (in the background here). As to Elliot Page - an interesting and plausible conspiracy theory. The early reports that she played Achilles were denied. Indeed, she plays Sinon. The conspiracy theory: they changed the role of Achilles to Sinon after the backlash. (Others think that Nolan himself realized Page as Achilles was not going to work and changed it before the backlash.) Sinon was not in The Odyssey… Achilles was… and now Sinon is taking Achilles role (as a ghost in the underworld). In the movie Odysseus says that Sinon is “The greatest soldier I’ve ever known”. Which is certainly believable of Elliot Page regardless of whether she was supposed to be Achilles or not…. John Leguizamo who plays Eumaeus on people who support ICE: “Don’t come to my shows, don’t watch my movies” #odyssey #elliotpage #ChristopherNolan #johnleguizamo #alanng #ChrisGore

asked Joe and Anthony Russo about the Avengers: Doomsday runtime, Doctor Doom, and Avengers: Secret Wars after Marvel's Hall H panel at SDCC Here's what I asked: • How long is Avengers: Doomsday and where are they in the editing process? • Who is Doctor Doom for people that don’t know the character and why is he such a threat that all the heroes have to come together to fight him? • What is their schedule for the rest of the year in terms of editing and then shooting Avengers: Secret Wars? If you're not aware, you have VERY little time on a red carpet. Collider

Chris Pratt was rejected for multiple Marvel roles before almost turning down the one that changed his career. Before landing the role of Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy, Chris Pratt auditioned for several Marvel Studios characters, and was rejected every time. After so many disappointments, he decided he was done auditioning for superhero movies. When the opportunity for Guardians of the Galaxy came, he initially said no, convinced they would reject him again. But after seeing himself in Zero Dark Thirty, he realized he could convincingly play both a tough action hero and a funny character. He finally agreed to audition, but with a different mindset. Instead of trying to guess what Marvel wanted, he walked in, trusted his instincts, and played the character his own way. That audition earned him the role that transformed his career. Sometimes the opportunity that changes everything is the one you're most tempted to walk away from.

The Killer (1989) Dir. John Woo Quentin Tarantino on why John Woo’s films were better than most American action films. "What he does that Americans don't have is he just has good ideas, like in "The Killer." When it comes to the woman's, the blind gal's apartment, all right, the cop and the hit man are there and they can't say who they are, so the blind girl doesn't know, but they each get like a Mexican standoff going there, but they gotta act like they don't. That stuff is just incredible, man. I mean, you'd watch 20 years of American movies and never see anything that clever."

None of the people who think they are Greek are actually Greek. The ancient Greeks left this world 3,500 years ago, just like the Aztecs and Incas. Those who call themselves Greek today are Christian Turks, Albanians, Macedonians, and Slavs who stole the heritage of the ancient Greeks. They were brought together by the British to create a buffer zone against the Turks. The flag used by today’s so-called Greeks comes from the British East India Company. Their kings are from Germany. Their language is one that died out 3,500 years ago but was revived by the British. Even after the country was founded, the Neo-Greeks couldn’t speak it, so it was only made the official language in 1976. All of their national heroes are Albanian… There’s nothing more to say. Enjoy the show. 🤷‍♂️😂

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And the thing about common knowledge in the social realm is that it's what props up our social relationships. And so when something is blurted out, then it can change everything. It changes the nature of your relationship with someone. Maher: And we do have sort of a modern version of the Emperor parable, which is Joe Biden. I mean, he was the Emperor who everyone wouldn't say had lost his marbles. I mean, is that not really the same story? Me: It is the same story, because opinion polls showed that after that disastrous debate with Trump, the number of people who thought that he was cognitively impaired didn't go up by that much. It went up by a few percentage points. But before, a majority of people thought that he was cognitively impaired. The difference is, when it's on TV, where you're watching it, you know that the rest of the country is watching it, you know the rest of the country knows the rest of the country, it's no longer private. It's common. And that's when he was challenged. That was the end. Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn.
