That Time Sam Raimi Pitched A Thor Movie And Failed

That Time Sam Raimi Pitched A Thor Movie And Failed

Superhero movies might be everywhere, but there was a time when those blockbusters were few and far between. Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe popularized serialized storytelling, Sam Raimi had his Spider-Man trilogy, with each movie having varying levels of critical success. But it turns out that Raimi actually had his eye on another Marvel hero at one point: Thor.

That's right, the Spider-Man director once tried to get a Thor movie off the ground. And he pitched the God of Thunder's blockbuster to the most powerful man in Marvel history: the late, great Stan Lee. Sam Raimi recently told this story himself, saying:

After I did Darkman, Stan Lee called me and was like, 'Hey, kid, I liked your movie. He took me out to lunch and said we should work together. I said I'd like to make a movie about Thor. We worked together writing treatments and took it to Fox and pitched it. And they said, 'Absolutely no. Comic books don't make good movies.' This was in 1991.

Talk about a throwback. Sam Raimi's Thor pitch goes all the way back to 1991, before his Spider-Man trilogy and the X-Men movies proved that superhero movies could make tons of money at the box office. With the billions the MCU has accrued over the years, that conversation seems almost laughable.

In the wake of Stan Lee's death, Sam Raimi shared a few stories about the visionary comic book creator with THR. Raimi has had a long career in the filmmaking world, as both a director a producer. As such, he was making movies before superheroes took over the market, and became the most popular and profitable genre in the business. While he seems to have been ahead of the game, that first Thor movie never got off the ground.

While the studios weren't ready to bankroll a massively expensive comic book movie, Sam Raimi and Stan Lee knew it was inevitable. It's exciting to know that they worked together on the pitch for a Thor movie, although it never saw the light of day. Still, the treatments and early concept of the movie is enough to get most Marvel fans foaming at the mouth with FOMO.

Ultimately Thor wouldn't get his time in the sun until Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Feige 2011 brought Chris Hemsworth's signature character to the silver screen. Even still, the first two Thor movies aren't exactly the best the MCU has to offer, despite the strong cast. But Thor got to shine in ensemble projects like The Avengers, and his franchise was given new life with Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok.

Sam Raimi did some great work with the Spider-Man franchise (barring perhaps the third one), so it would be fascinating to hear more about his Thor pitch. We'll just have to hope more information becomes public in the future.

Thor and Spider-Man will return to the MCU when Avengers 4 arrives in theaters May 3rd. 2019. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

That Time Benedict Cumberbatch Got Kicked Really Hard On The Set Of Doctor Strange

That Time Benedict Cumberbatch Got Kicked Really Hard On The Set Of Doctor Strange

In November 2016, Doctor Strange took the Marvel Cinematic Universe by storm by introducing Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange. The film became a hit by embracing action, comedy, and magic in ways that the MCU had never done before, but the process wasn't an easy one for everyone involved. In fact, in a recent interview, Doctor Strange actor Scott Adkins opened up and revealed that he nailed Cumberbatch in the chest while filming one of the movie's standout fight scenes where the two were fighting while running up a building. Adkins explained how they were filming the same scene over and over again and he wasn't hitting the mark, until a series of unfortunate events led to him totally kicking the other actor. He said:

Benedict's such a lovely guy. But there's a bit where we run up the wall, and the first thing I do is jump onto a banister. I have to jump off the banister and 'kick' Benedict in the chest. We're on about the 10th take, and I've either missed or not hit him hard enough... lots of pressure. On the 10th take, I could see the faces are dropping a bit, and I'm like 'Oh fuck it, I'm just gonna have to go for it.' Benedict probably thought, 'Oh I'm going to help him out a little bit here by coming a little closer for his kick.' And I smashed him, hard, in the chest. And he went back, and he smashed off the banister with his back. And I do remember thinking, 'Easy Scott, that was a little bit too hard there, mate.' But he was great. He was fine about it.

The scene in question takes place toward the end of Doctor Strange's second act when Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) and his goons stage an all-out assault on the Sanctum Sanctorum. Benedict Cumberbatch and Scott Adkins got to exchange some impressive fake blows during the fight sequence, but in his comments on the Empire podcast, Akins revealed that the pressure of filming the scene led to one kick getting a bit too real during a later take. Luckily, Cumberbatch was fine and seemed to take the whole thing in good spirits, at least per what Scott Adkins said.

The good news is that the final product came off without a hitch, and you can check out a clip from that badass fight sequence, below!

Despite how painful this whole ordeal sounds for Benedict Cumberbatch, there's also a sense that things might not get any easier for The Sorcerer Supreme going forward. Stephen Strange will appear in Avengers: Infinity War and play an integral role in the battle against Thanos (Josh Brolin) and The Black Order, so much of the marketing material for the film seemingly suggests that the mystic hero will find himself put through a physical and mental wringer -- particularly in his conflict with Ebony Maw. Cumberbatch himself has also hinted at the possibility of Strange's death, so we will have to keep an eye out for all of the pain that the character (and by extension, the actor) may go through as the next Marvel story unfolds.

Stephen Strange will make his next appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe later this month when Avengers: Infinity War debuts in theaters on April 27.

Why Angela Bassett Knew Black Panther Was Something Special

Why Angela Bassett Knew Black Panther Was Something Special

A few months before Avengers: Infinity War arrived and started blowing the world away, Black Panther was doing the exact same thing. From opening day, the superhero film captivated audiences, breaking a ton of records and making boatloads of money in the process. It's fair to say that Black Panther was a legitimate phenomenon, and it certainly helps that it also happens to be a great movie. While the majority of the world had to learn this in theaters, Angela Bassett, who stars as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther, knew that it was something special on the set.

There's some moments and some sets where everyone catches the fever of it, the heat of it, and they're bringing the best to the moment. They're giving the full measure of their devotion, everyone. And that's what you experienced and felt and saw on that set.

In Black Panther, Angela Bassett plays Queen Ramada, T'Challa's mother. She doesn't have an especially large role in the movie, but she does provide a strong anchor that helps keep things together after Killmonger takes the throne. Bassett is great in the role, and the actress could feel the energy on the set as everyone was collaborating to make what would become one of the highest grossing superheroes films ever made. It was that energy and spirit that warned her early on that Black Panther was going to be something special, and the movie definitely went on to prove her right.

During The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actress Roundtable, Angela Bassett, along with talking about her Ryan Murphy-produced TV series 911, dropped a few thoughts about Black Panther. Even from just watching Black Panther, it's easy to tell that there were an energy and style behind it that was running at 100%. To be on that set must have been amazing, and Bassett confirmed as much.

The ending of Infinity War makes things a bit tricky, but Marvel Studios is definitely interested in pursuing Black Panther 2. Kevin Feige has stated that the ball is pretty much in director Ryan Coogler's court on when he wants to come back and work on the sequel. Hopefully, the sequel will be able to retain the same amount of energy and devotion which made the original movie so special.

We've got a long way before seeing Black Panther up on screen again, but there's plenty else to keep you occupied until then. The summer is just getting started so be aware of the big movies coming that you won't want to miss. For everything else arriving for the rest of the year, be sure to explore our 2018 movie release guide, which has every major release coming to theaters.
