Ep. 24 - Would You Rather Be Deadpool or Wolverine and How can Robert Downey Jr. Play Dr. Doom? (guest David Merel)

Film Fury

Alan discusses "Deadpool vs. Wolverine" starring Ryan Reynolds and Hug Jackman. David Merel, a technology and superhero expert answers whether or not Jackman is too old, whether or not superhero films will save movie theaters, and whether he'd rather be Deadpool or Wolverine. Was the opening scene too gory? Was the villain badass enough? Did anyone notice that Matthew Macfadyen, who plays a corporate villain, is somewhat similar to his character in the HBO hit "Succession." David gives some great insights on the power of MCU and why he thinks the upcoming Captain America film will be great and hits there could be an unbelievable twist in how Robert Downey Jr. is used "Avengers: Doomsday" and how he thinks the Russo brothers know what they're doing. Some wonder if it is a risky move to put Downey Jr. so well-known as the iconic Iron-Man as it might seem counterintuitive to have the greatest hero play one of the greatest villains. Or maybe there is a method to the madness. take a listen.
