Two of the mainstream comic companies include Marvel and DC Comics, together taking some 72% of the sales of superhero graphic novels. With well known (household names) characters that mostly have unreal abilities, unlike, the medieval knight of old, equipped only with a horse suit of armour and a sword. The obvious place from where Iron Man developed. By comparison, John Storm, and his steed, the Elizabeth Swann, are entirely possible, taking known technology to the limit. There are no super powers. Just enhancements, based on computers and genetic modifications. If for no other reason, readers might like a change from flying people, and space adventures, to something a little more down to earth, and yet still mentally stimulating.

 

The latest news in 2023 is something of a most unfortunate repeat of what happened to Johnny Depp, also damaging a much loved 'Disney related' franchise. Which has nothing at all to do with the movies or performances, but a cast member. Leading us to wonder if in future CGI and VFX might overtake Hollywood, such that the private and personal life of the "stars" might not harm multi-million-dollar investments. Though, of course, many people watch movies because they like and are fans of the actors. 

 

It seems from media reporting that male actors are more prone to such accusations. There should perhaps be a clause in contracts that fees should be repayable in the event of such convictions. And perhaps, actors should have CTV installed and running 24/7 in their residences, as proof one way or the other as to who is not telling it straight. For example, there is no doubt that Will Smith struck Chris Rock in March 2022, over comments about Jada Pinkett-Smith. We all saw it. A most unfortunate incident.

 

According to Wikipedia, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania grossed $214.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $261.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $476.1 million. A box-office disappointment, falling short of its reported break-even point of $600 million. Forbes reported: "$965 million on four of its most high-profile streaming and film flops this year."

 

In our view, the "quantum realm" and "multiverse" takes fantasy CGI to a new level - not in any way suspending disbelief. Even swallowing the Pym Particle. Perhaps stretching credibility to breaking point. Though, having said that, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness grossed $411.3 million in the United States and Canada and $544.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $955.8 million loss, according to Forbes. We understand that tax breaks may have reduced that loss considerably. It is reported that Doctor Strange was the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2022. Forbes estimated the film made a profit of $183 million. So, who are we to judge.

YAHOO MOVIES 3RD NOVEMBER 2023 - JOHNATHAN MAJORS FACES MORE ALLEGATIONS AS MARVEL FATE HANGS IN THE BALANCE: HERE'S THE LATEST IN THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE

Jonathan Majors's career — and freedom — hangs in the balance amid his domestic violence case. The Creed III star faces up to a year in jail if convicted on misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault, and aggravated harassment. The 34-year-old has vehemently denied the accusation from his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

At the beginning of the year, Majors was considered Hollywood's next big thing following the HBO hit Lovecraft Country, a string of lauded indie films and being tapped to play Kang, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest existential threat, in several titles leading up to 2025's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. He stars in Loki, which is in its second season on Disney+. The studio has stayed silent in the more than seven months that the allegations have loomed over Majors, taking a "wait-and-see" approach. However, a new report from Variety insinuates for the first time that the studio is considering parting ways with the star.

At a September retreat with Marvel creatives, including studio chief Kevin Feige, executives reportedly discussed what to do about the Majors situation. The studio purportedly took notice of the disappointing, (for Marvel standards that is) box office performance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. "It gave people pause given that Quantumania didn't exactly land," the insider claimed. Another option is simply recasting the role.

There have been plenty of twists and turns in the high-profile case. Last month, Jabbari was arrested for allegedly attacking Majors. He's claimed from the start she was the aggressor; however the Manhattan District Attorney's office say they have no plans to press charges against her. Prosecutors also revealed they have a police report from a London incident in September 2022, including medical records. Authorities across the pond confirmed there is an ongoing investigation into "physical assaults" leveled against Majors. Multiple women are reportedly cooperating with the DA's office.

HERE'S A TIMELINE OF THE CASE

March 25


Police respond to a 911 call involving a dispute between Majors and a 30-year-old woman, later revealed to be his girlfriend at the time.

"The victim informed police she was assaulted," a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement. "Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition."

A representative for Majors denies wrongdoing via email: "We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up."

A judge grants the alleged victim a limited order of protection and orders that Majors be released on his own recognizance.

March 26

Majors is arraigned on a complaint involving misdemeanor charges for assault and aggravated harassment, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirms. In the complaint, the accuser claims the actor struck her "about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear." She also accuses him of putting "his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain."

Majors hires criminal defense attorney Priya Chaudhry, who represented Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah in her federal trial. Chaudhry issues a more defiant statement, telling the media Majors "is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows" and claimed the woman was having "an emotional crisis." The attorney adds that her team has evidence clearing Majors, including "video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations."

The U.S. Army suspends its TV ad campaign featuring the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania villain, saying they are "deeply concerned by the allegations surrounding his arrest."

March 30

Majors's lawyer releases text messages between the actor and alleged victim, but the correspondence only raises more questions.

In a new statement, Chaudhry tells Yahoo that Majors was the one who called 911 "out of concern for the woman's mental health. ... The police arrived with the paramedics, as is standard procedure, and arrested Mr. Majors due to an NYPD protocol requiring arrest in certain circumstances. On that same day, only seven and nine hours later, the woman sent text messages to Mr. Majors admitting that she was the one who used physical force against him. She also disavowed any allegations that he had done anything to her and confirmed that Mr. Majors called 911 because of her mental condition. These are those messages, redacting the woman’s name for her privacy."

In the messages, which Yahoo can't authenticate, the woman says, "Please let me know you're OK when you get this. They assured me that you won't be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I'm so angry that they did. And I'm sorry you're in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this."

The alleged victim says in another text she told police "it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of hospital. I love you."

A few hours later, the woman writes to Majors: "They just called again to check on me and I reiterated how this was not an attack and they do not have my blessing on any charges being placed. I read the paper they gave me about strangulation and I said point blank this did not occur and should be removed immediately. The judge is definitely going to be told this. I know you have the best team and there's nothing to worry about I just want you to know that I'm doing all I can on my end. I also said to tell the judge to know that the origin of the call was to do with me collapsing and passing out and your worry as my partner due to our communication prior. Out of care. She promised all will be relayed."

April 18

Majors is dropped by his publicist and manger, a shocking move given his slate of projects over the next several years and the fact that it's still weeks away from his first court date. The actor was already generating awards buzz for his role in Magazine Dreams, a critic favorite emerging from this year's Sundance Film Festival. He shot the second season of Loki for Disney+ and was due to appear in at least three upcoming Marvel films through 2025. As for his future in the MCU, there have not been discussions about recasting his role, with sources saying the Disney-owned studio is taking a wait-and-see approach.

Deadline reports Majors has been dropped from multiple projects, including The Man in My Basement in which he was set to star in and executive produce. He was also cut from a Texas Rangers MLB ad campaign and is no longer in consideration to star in a Otis Redding biopic.

April 19

Variety reports more alleged victims have come forward and are cooperating with the Manhattan D.A.'s office. Majors's lawyer disputes that in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.

"This story is baseless and without any foundation," Chaudhry declares. "Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone. Mr. Majors is currently considering his legal options."

Chaudhry adds to Yahoo: "Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone. We have provided irrefutable evidence to the district attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated."

April 20

Yahoo Entertainment obtains documents containing the evidence submitted by Majors's defense team.

In video footage, the alleged victim is shown clubbing after the purported attack where she appears uninjured using her right hand and the finger Majors is accused of breaking. "She danced her way to the DJ booth, passed a note to the DJ, danced wildly (even hanging off the DJ booth with her right hand), drank her champagne, and smoked a vape — clearly having a great time," Chaudhry writes in a letter to the court, noting they have multiple witnesses who will testify he never hit the woman.

"As witnessed by the driver, who saw and heard everything, just before 1 a.m., [the woman] assaulted Mr. Majors in a car while she was attempting to steal his phone. The driver will testify that Mr. Majors never struck [her] in any way at any time... The driver will testify that he unlocked the door to help Mr. Majors escape," Chaudhry writes. "[The woman] then attacked Mr. Majors on the street as he tried to run away from her. In doing so, and in trying to prevent him from escaping, she ripped his coat buttons and tore his coat pocket; but he got away."

Majors supposedly checked into a hotel while the woman went out. After 3 a.m., she went back to his apartment and security video footage from the building seemingly shows her unharmed at the time. The actor returned the next morning as he was supposedly worried about the woman's suicidal threats.

Upon arrival, Majors found vomit on his bed and the alleged victim "unconscious" in his walk-in closet. In body-cam footage submitted to the court, the woman apparently told paramedics that she took "a few" sleeping pills. Majors's attorneys say she likely fell in the closet and sustained injuries when she passed out.

April 27

Majors's alleged victim is granted a temporary order of protection with the consent of defense counsel.

May 9

 

 

Majors appears via Zoom in court on Tuesday for a brief and routine conference. The actor's attorney issues the following statement after court, calling the case a "witch hunt" that "highlights the racial bias."

We have provided the District Attorney (D.A.) with irrefutable evidence that the woman is lying, including video proof showing nothing happened, especially not where she claimed. We did this with the explicit promise from the D.A. that they would not 'fix' their case and change it as we proved the woman is lying.

Yet this false case continues, the woman's claimed location shifts and her story morphs. This is a witch hunt against Jonathan Majors, driven by baseless claims. Instead of dismissing the allegations in the face of the woman's clear lies, the D.A. has adjusted the charges to match the woman's new lies. To be clear, there are no new charges against Mr. Majors.

Now, we have obtained even more video evidence of his innocence, but we are hesitant to share it, for fear the D.A. will tip the woman off to change her story again.

The criminal justice system is saturated with explicit and implicit bias. When Mr. Majors showed a white police officer the injuries the woman caused him, the white officer got in Mr. Majors's face and taunted him, saying that if the officer were to slap Mr. Majors, the officer wouldn't break his finger. None of the white officers present investigated the assault of Mr. Majors. Worse, the District Attorney has not indicated any intention to pursue charges against the woman, or even investigate the truth.

This glaring double standard between the treatment of Jonathan Majors, a Black man weighing 200 lbs., and his accuser, highlights the racial bias that permeates the criminal justice system.

 

 

June 20

The actor makes his first in person appearance in court with his girlfriend, actress Meagan Good, by his side. It lasted mere minutes, the judge sets a trial date for August.

June 27

It's revealed that Majors filed an NYPD domestic violence complaint against his assault accuser and ex-girlfriend, Jabbari. He alleges a "drunk and hysterical" Jabbari attacked him, causing pain and bleeding, according to a domestic incident report and sworn affidavit obtained by Insider. Police reportedly find probable cause to arrest Jabbari.

June 29

A rep for the NYPD only tells Yahoo Entertainment that "an investigation is ongoing" related to the incident and "there are no arrests at this time."

Majors's defense team publicly pressures the D.A.'s office to bring charges against Jabbari.

"Mr. Majors has been asking for justice as the victim here, and he deserves to have his assailant arrested and brought to court to face the charges against her," Chaudhry explains to Yahoo. "All along, the D.A. has been insistent that it won't give Mr. Majors special treatment because he is 'high profile.' Now that the NYPD, who has actually investigated Ms. Jabbari, is ready to arrest her, I certainly hope the D.A. will not delay prosecution of Ms. Jabbari due to the 'high profile' nature of this case. That would be hypocritical, unfair, and unjust. We are grateful to the detectives of the NYPD and look forward to justice for Mr. Majors."

Jabbari's attorney, Brad Edwards, tells the New York Times that there is no reason to arrest his client and he's "seen nothing reliable indicating that any agency has developed a different opinion."

Rolling Stone also drops an exposé claiming the actor's "extreme abuse" goes back decades and that Majors was physically and/or emotionally abusive with two previous romantic partners. He "vehemently denies" all accusations.

Aug. 3

Majors appears in court as the trial is pushed to September. After court, Chaudhry calls Majors the"real victim in this shameful ordeal" as his "life, career and reputation [have been] torn apart" in a statement to Yahoo. She also claims Jabbari, whom the defense maintain was the real aggressor, will be arrested when she returns to New York.

Sept. 6

Although prosecutors are ready to present their case, Majors's attorneys say they found "deficiencies" in the certificate of compliance, according to the reports. The trial is delayed one week.

Sept. 15

The trial is delayed a third time over Majors's legal team's claims that prosecutors have attempted "to bury" key evidence in the case.

Oct. 24

New York prosecutors reveal they've obtained a police report prepared by London's Metropolitan Police, which they claim is relevant to the case. The incident is from September 2022. The filing references medical care obtained by Jabbari at that time. Majors was in London at the time filming Season 2 of the Disney+ Marvel series Loki.

Oct. 25

A judge denies the defense's motion to dismiss the case. A trial date is set for Nov. 29.

Jabbari is arrested on charges of assault and criminal mischief following their alleged domestic dispute. However, the Manhattan District Attorney's office says they have no plans to prosecute her on any charges related to the incident.

Nov. 1

London police confirm to Rolling Stone there is an ongoing investigation into a report of "physical assaults" allegedly committed by Majors amid his domestic violence case. "Enquiries are ongoing; no arrests have been made," a Met Police spokesperson noted.

 

 

How Walt Disney spent one $1billion dollars on four flops in 2023

 

 



VARIETY NOVEMBER 2023 - CRISIS AT MARVEL: JOHNATHAN MAJORS BACK-UP PLANS, 'THE MARVELS' RESHOOTS, REVIVING ORIGINAL AVENGERS AND MORE ISSUES REVEALED

This past September, a group of Marvel creatives, including studio chief Kevin Feige, assembled in Palm Springs for the studio’s annual retreat. Most years, the vibe would have been confident — even cocky — given how the premier superhero brand, owned by Disney since 2009, has remade the entertainment business in its image. 

But this occasion was angst-ridden — everyone at Marvel was reeling from a series of disappointments on-screen, a legal scandal involving one of its biggest stars and questions about the viability of the studio’s ambitious strategy to extend the brand beyond movies into streaming. The most pressing issue to be discussed at the retreat was what to do about Jonathan Majors, the actor who had been poised to carry the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but instead is headed to a high-profile trial in New York later this month on domestic violence charges. The actor insists he is the victim, but the damage to his reputation and the chance he could lose the case has forced Marvel to reconsider its plans to center the next phase of its interlocking slate of sequels, spinoffs and series around Majors’ villainous character, Kang the Conqueror. 

At the gathering in Palm Springs, executives discussed backup plans, including pivoting to another comic book adversary, like Dr. Doom. But making any shift would carry its own headaches: Majors was already a big presence in the MCU, including as the scene-stealing antagonist in February’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” And he has been positioned as the franchise’s next big thing in this season of “Loki” — particularly in the finale, which airs on Nov. 9 and sets up Kang as the titular star of a fifth “Avengers” film in 2026. 

“Marvel is truly fucked with the whole Kang angle,” says one top dealmaker who has seen the final “Loki” episode. “And they haven’t had an opportunity to rewrite until very recently [because of the WGA strike]. But I don’t see a path to how they move forward with him.” 

Beyond the bad press for Majors, the brain trust at Marvel is also grappling with the November release of “The Marvels,” a sequel to 2019’s blockbuster “Captain Marvel” that has been plagued with lengthy reshoots and now appears likely to underwhelm at the box office. 

This is all an unprecedented turn of fortune for a company that has enjoyed a nearly uninterrupted string of hits ever since it started independently producing its movies with 2008’s “Iron Man.” That wildly profitable run culminated in the $2.8 billion success of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” a high-water mark for the studio that has earned nearly $30 billion over 32 films. 

Replicating that kind of phenomenon is never easy. However, the source of Marvel’s current troubles can be traced back to 2020. That’s when the COVID pandemic ushered in a mandate to help boost Disney’s stock price with an endless torrent of interconnected Marvel content for the studio’s fledgling streaming platform, Disney+. According to the plan, there would never be a lapse in superhero fare, with either a film in theaters or a new television series streaming at any given moment. 

But the ensuing tsunami of spandex proved to be too much of a good thing, and the demands of churning out so much programming taxed the Marvel apparatus. Moreover, the need to tease out an interwoven storyline over so many disparate shows, movies and platforms created a muddled narrative that baffled viewers. 

“The Marvel machine was pumping out a lot of content. Did it get to the point where there was just too much, and they were burning people out on superheroes? It’s possible,” says Wall Street analyst Eric Handler, who covers Disney. “The more you do, the tougher it is to maintain quality. They tried experimenting with breaking in some new characters, like Shang-Chi and Eternals, with mixed results. With budgets as big as these, you need home runs.” 

“The Marvels,” which opens in theaters on Nov. 10, will struggle to get the ball past the infield, at least by Marvel’s outsized standards. The movie, which cost $250 million and sees Brie Larson reprising her role as Captain Marvel, is tracking to open to $75 million-$80 million — far below the $185 million “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” took in domestically in its debut weekend last year. 

Directed by Nia DaCosta, “The Marvels” unites Larson’s heroine with two superpowered allies, Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau (introduced in the 2021 Disney+ series “WandaVision”) and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan (first seen in the 2022 series “Ms. Marvel”). But instead of seamlessly building on the success of “Captain Marvel,” this move resulted in four weeks of reshoots to bring coherence to a tangled storyline. 

Then eyebrows were raised again when DaCosta began working on another film while “The Marvels” was still in postproduction — the filmmaker moved to London earlier this year to begin prepping for her Tessa Thompson drama “Hedda.” (A representative for DaCosta declined to comment.) 

“If you’re directing a $250 million movie, it’s kind of weird for the director to leave with a few months to go,” says a source familiar with the production. 

“The Marvels” has seen its release date moved back twice, too, once to swap places with “Quantumania,” which was deemed further along, and again when its debut shifted from July to November to give the filmmakers more time to tinker. But that extra time didn’t necessarily help. In June, Marvel, which traditionally only solicits feedback from Disney employees and their friends and families, took the uncharacteristic step of holding a public test screening in Texas. The audience gave the film middling reviews. 

But Marvel has never been in the business of being average. “Kevin’s real superpower, his genius, has always been in postproduction and getting his hands on movies and making sure that they finished strongly,” the source adds. “These days, he’s spread thin.” (Feige declined to comment for this story.) 

Feige isn’t the only person showing signs of strain. Marvel’s entire VFX battalion, including staffers and vendors, is struggling to keep pace with a never-ending stream of productions. This past February, when the credits rolled at the world premiere of “Quantumania,” shock rippled through the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood over some shoddy CGI. “There were at least 10 scenes where the visual effects had been added at the last minute and were out of focus,” says one veteran power broker who was there. “It was insane. I’ve never seen something like that in my entire career. Everyone was talking about it. Even the kids of executives were talking about it.” 

The schedule swap with “The Marvels” had left the “Ant-Man” sequel in a squeeze, pushing up its postproduction schedule by four-and-a-half months. Marvel films are known for coming down to the wire, given Feige’s ability “to foam the runway and land a plane that way,” says one executive familiar with how the company operates. But this level of unfinished was unprecedented and would be noted in scathing reviews when the tentpole with the $200 million budget opened 11 days after the premiere. Critics weren’t the only ones dismayed. Fed up with 14-hour days and no overtime, Marvel VFX workers voted unanimously to unionize in September, sparking an industrywide trend. 

“The year 2023 was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” says former Marvel Studios VFX assistant coordinator Anna George, who appeared before the Congressional Labor Caucus on Oct. 19 to testify about the studio’s untenable deadlines and working conditions. “The pay and long hours at Marvel were the reason we had to start our unionization process there. The conditions were completely unsustainable.” 

Disney’s top brass, including newly returned CEO Bob Iger, was said to be apoplectic about Marvel’s VFX troubles. One month after the “Quantumania” premiere debacle, the guillotine fell on Victoria Alonso, who oversaw the studio’s physical production, postproduction, VFX and animation. While the reason cited for her abrupt firing was her unauthorized role as an executive producer on the Oscar-nominated film “Argentina, 1985,” insiders say Disney was incensed that quality control on its Marvel productions was plummeting, particularly on the ever-expanding TV front. The VFX logjam had been evident for some time, with some final effects for such Disney+ series as “WandaVision” and “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” inserted after their streaming debuts. That Alonso was busy promoting her art-house project while Rome burned certainly didn’t sit well with Disney’s leadership. (Alonso’s attorney says her client is unable to comment.) 

But some internal sources suggest Alonso was a scapegoat and point to the “She-Hulk” VFX issues as a symptom of a deeper rot — namely a lack of oversight on script development. In the original arc of “She-Hulk,” a flashback of star Tatiana Maslany’s transformation into her Hulk character didn’t take place until Episode 8, the penultimate episode. But after Marvel’s brain trust watched footage, it realized the scene needed to happen in the pilot episode so that audiences could see more of the character’s backstory early. That meant that the VFX team was tasked with fixing the mess in postproduction.

“The so-called bad VFX we see was because of half-baked scripts,” says one person involved with “She-Hulk.” “That is not Victoria. That is Kevin. And even above Kevin. Those issues should be addressed in preproduction. The timeline is not allowing the Marvel executives to sit with the material.”

All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of “She-Hulk” costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones, ” but without a similar Zeitgeist bang. The August 2022 series premiere at the El Capitan Theatre foreshadowed what was to come six months later at the “Quantumania” bow: the “She-Hulk” special effects were out of focus in multiple scenes.

There are signs that the flood of product is leading people to tune out. “I’m not prepared to call it a permanent fall. But based on the numbers that go with Marvel podcasts, Marvel-based articles, friends who do Marvel-based video coverage, all of these numbers are significantly down,” says Joanna Robinson, co-author of the New York Times bestseller “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios,” who is a writer and podcaster at The Ringer. “The quality is suffering. In 2019, at the peak, if you put ‘Marvel Studios’ in front of something, people were like, ‘Oh, that brand means quality.’ That association is no longer the case because there have been so many projects that felt half-baked and undercooked.” 

As public criticism mounts, Feige is pulling the plug on scripts and projects that aren’t working. Case in point: the “Blade” reboot. With Mahershala Ali signed on for the eponymous role of a vampire, things looked promising for a 2023 release date. But the project has gone through at least five writers, two directors and one shutdown six weeks before production. One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board. 

Amid reports that Ali was ready to exit over script issues, Feige went back to the drawing board and hired Michael Green, the Oscar-nominated writer of “Logan,” to start anew. Speculation around town is that the studio is looking to make the film, now slated for 2025, on a budget of less than $100 million — a deviation from Marvel’s big-spending strategy. 

With Iger publicly acknowledging the downside of a Marvel TV glut that “diluted focus and attention,” the keepers of the comic book empire are considering some dramatic moves. Sources say there have been talks to bring back the original gang for an “Avengers” movie. This would include reviving Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, both of whom were killed off in “Endgame.” (That shouldn’t be a stumbling block — in comic books, beloved characters are often killed off, only to be resurrected thanks to the power of things like the multiverse.) But the studio hasn’t yet committed to the idea — if it were able to bring those actors back, it wouldn’t come cheap. Sources say Downey Jr.’s upfront salary for “Iron Man 3” was around $25 million. 

Will that solve Marvel’s Majors problem? When the “Quantumania” actor was arrested in March, Disney executives insisted that they could afford to play a wait-and-see game, given that “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” wasn’t expected to begin shooting until early 2024. But then Majors was dropped in quick succession by his publicists and managers. (He remains a client at WME — the agency where he landed after CAA parted ways with him, pre-arrest, for his “brutal conduct” toward staff, says one source. CAA declined to comment.) In April, other alleged domestic violence victims of Majors began cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Then, ahead of a key hearing in October, media outlets including Variety obtained a court filing that referenced a police incident in London involving Majors that led his ex-girlfriend to seek medical attention. Making matters even stickier, the ex-girlfriend also worked on “Quantumania” as a movement coach, and the London incident took place while Majors was shooting Season 2 of “Loki.” On Oct. 25, a New York judge denied Majors’ motion to dismiss the case, which ensures that the actor will stand trial in late November. His legal team is attempting to keep some material in the case sealed. 

A studio source notes that regardless of the actor’s legal issues, Marvel already had considered moving away from a Majors-led phase because of the box office performance of “Quantumania,” which will struggle to make a profit. “It gave people pause given that ‘Quantumania’ didn’t exactly land,” the source says. (On Oct. 27, Disney removed another Majors film, Searchlight’s “Magazine Dreams,” from the release calendar.)

Recasting Majors is also an option, as Feige did when he replaced Terrence Howard in “Iron Man 2” with Don Cheadle. In fact, Marvel isn’t afraid to change direction, even after making splashy announcements. “Armor Wars” was first unveiled as a series and is now being developed as a feature, while the studio’s push to adapt the comic book “Inhumans” into a feature film generated headlines but is now dormant. (The now-defunct Marvel Television mounted an “Inhumans” TV series in 2017 that ran for one season on ABC.) 

Still, there was one bright spot in 2023: “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which became Marvel’s biggest draw of the year with $845 million worldwide. The fact that it was directed by James Gunn, the guy now running rival DC Studios, was lost on no one.

“With Marvel, it used to be as close to a guarantee as you could get,” says Paul Dergarabedian, a box office analyst at Comscore. “So, going all in on the budgets made sense. ‘Guardians 3’ was a bit overlooked in how successful it was. But that had James Gunn and Chris Pratt, and I think star power is becoming more important. Then there was ‘Quantummania’ with $476 million. Anything under a half billion dollars is viewed as a disappointment. And these overreaching expectations are a result of so much success over the years.”

The key to reinvigorating Marvel may lie with the superhero arsenal that Disney acquired during its 2019 purchase of 21st Century Fox. That deal brought several blue-chip heroes, such as the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, back under the studio’s control. Already fans are geeking out about next year’s “Deadpool 3,” which unites Ryan Reynolds’ merc with a mouth with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and a reboot of “Fantastic Four” slated for 2025. As a bonus, the Fox additions give Feige an opportunity to reimagine the “X-Men” franchise, the very property he cut his teeth on as a young executive at Lauren Shuler Donner’s production company. Now that the WGA strike is in the rearview mirror, Marvel has started talking to writers about bringing the X-Men into the MCU fold.

While Feige recalibrates, the rest of the industry is anxiously hoping that Marvel’s best days are not behind it. 

“Writing the Marvel obituary would be ill-advised,” says Jason Squire, professor emeritus at USC School of Cinematic Arts and host of “The Movie Business Podcast.” “Kevin Feige is the Babe Ruth of movie executives, and Marvel has the most profitable track record in movie history. No question.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAILY MAIL 24 OCTOBER 2023 - JOHNATHAN MAJOR'S EX-GIRLFRIEND GRACE JABABARI IS ALLEGEDLY 'ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING HIM'

Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari is set to be charged with assault - seven months after he was arrested for attacking the English dancer, according to reports. 

The Creed III actor, 34, was arrested on March 25 on misdemeanor charges for allegedly attacking dancer Jabbari, his former partner. 

London-based Jabbari initially told police Majors hit and strangled her, but the strangulation charges were dropped. Now, he is only charged with hurting her arm.

But Jabbari, 30, is now allegedly set to be charged with assault herself, reports the Messenger, who cited sources within the New York Police Department. The outlet said this comes after Majors filed a counter-complaint against her.

The outlet said Majors' accuser would be hit with a domestic violence charge and that she would report herself to the NYPD's 10th precinct, located in Chelsea. 

On Tuesday, Variety reported that there may be an unreported incident involving London police that may be relevant to prosecutor's domestic violence allegations, but they did not report what the incident was. 

The outlet also said that a filing, which has not been made public, allegedly stated that the DA does not have any plans to prosecute Jabbari if she is apprehended by the NYPD. 

The Messenger claimed that Jabbari would be 'issued a desk appearance ticket' that police issue to 'require a suspect to appear in court to answer charges.' 

Priya Chaudhry, Jonathan Majors' attorney, could not comment on Tuesday. 

But she has previously shown her steadfast belief that her client Majors is innocent, and that Jabbari ought to be apprehended. 

Majors' next scheduled court appearance in Manhattan is October 25.

On August 4, Chaudhry said in a statement to DailyMail.com: 'Jonathan Majors has been waiting for 132 days to clear his name of these false allegations while the NYPD waits to arrest his accuser upon her New York return.'

And on August 3, the attorney said: 'One hundred and thirty-one days ago, authorities unjustly cuffed Jonathan Majors in his own home, hauling him off to jail based on the word of a woman now hunted by the NYPD.

'Bravely, Jonathan Majors laid bare to the NYPD the relentless, alcohol-fueled abuse he suffered at the hands of Grace Jabbari, an enduring nightmare in their relationship. 

'Now, as soon as Jabbari sets foot back in New York, the NYPD stands ready to arrest her.

'For an excruciating four months, Jonathan Majors, the real victim in this shameful ordeal, has had his life, career, and reputation torn apart. 

'Yet he remains unwavering in his determination to be absolved from this harrowing ordeal.'

On June 27, she said that the NYPD had found probable cause to arrest Jabbari.

Chaudhry said: 'Last week, for the first time, Mr. Majors met with the NYPD to present them with evidence of what really happened on that night. 

'Within hours of viewing the evidence, and conducting their own thorough investigation, the NYPD found probable cause to arrest Grace Jabbari for assaulting Jonathan Majors.' 

On June 20, the attorney called on the District Attorney to 'initiate proceedings against Ms. Jabbari, holding her accountable for her crimes.' 

And on May 9, Chaudhry claimed that the fact Majors was arrested and not Jabbari 'highlights the racial bias that permeates the criminal justice system.' 

Brad Edwards, Jabbari's attorney, did not comment on Tuesday. 

Jabbari admitted to Majors in text messages that she was the aggressor, screenshots of a conversation presented by the defense attorney claimed. After the alleged attack, she was seen at nightclubs drinking and partying with friends.

Majors has always maintained his innocence.

In June, Majors filed his own domestic violence claim against her, telling police he had been slapped and scratched by a violent and 'hysterical' Jabbari.

Majors, whose star was quickly rising, was dropped by his management firm and PR firm after the charges were dropped.

He has attended previous court appearances with his new girlfriend, actress Meagan Good.

In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Jabbari texted Majors to apologize, according to documents previously provided by his attorney.

'Please let me know when you got this. They assured me that you won't be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight.

'I'm so angry that they did. And I'm sorry you're in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone... I only just got out of hospital... just call me when you are out.'

The actor did not respond, according to the screenshot.

A few hours later, around 9:30pm, she sent another text message to Majors, telling him that she spoke to officials again.

In the text, she wrote, according to the screenshot: 'Reiterated how this was not an attack and they do not have my blessing on any charges being placed.'

 

 

MARKET SHARE

In 2017, Marvel held a 38.30% share of the comics market, compared to its competitor DC Comics' 33.93%. By comparison, the companies respectively held 33.50% and 30.33% shares in 2013, and 40.81% and 29.94% shares in 2008.

FILMS

As of the start of September 2015, films based on Marvel's properties represent the highest-grossing U.S. franchise, having grossed over $7.7 billion as part of a worldwide gross of over $18 billion. As of May 2019 the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has grossed over $22 billion. 

 

Marvel Comics is an American comic book publisher and the flagship property of Marvel Entertainment, a division of The Walt Disney Company since September 1, 2009. Evolving from Timely Comics in 1939, Magazine Management/Atlas Comics in 1951 and its predecessor, Marvel Mystery Comics, the Marvel Comics title/name/brand was first used in June 1961.

 

HISTORY

Marvel was started in 1939 by Martin Goodman as Timely Comics, and by 1951 had generally become known as Atlas Comics. The Marvel era began in June 1961 with the launch of The Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and many others. The Marvel brand, which had been used over the years and decades, was solidified as the company's primary brand.

Marvel counts among its characters such well-known superheroes as:

 

MARVEL COMICS US SUPERHEROES - A TO Z

 

Ant Man,

Captain America,

Captain Marvel

Doctor Strange

Hulk,

Iron Man

Spider-Man,

Thor, and

Wolverine,  

 

As well as popular superhero teams such as the:

 

Avengers, 

Fantastic Four,

Guardians of the Galaxy and

X-Men,

 

Its stable of well-known supervillains includes the likes of Doctor Doom, Magneto, Ultron, Thanos, Green Goblin, Galactus, Loki, and Kingpin. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with most locations mirroring real-life places; many major characters are based in New York City, New York, United States. Additionally, Marvel has published several licensed properties from other companies. This includes Star Wars comics twice from 1977 to 1986 and again since 2015.

GROUP BANKRUPTCY

In 1986, Marvel's parent, Marvel Entertainment Group, was sold to New World Entertainment, which within three years sold it to MacAndrews and Forbes, owned by Revlon executive Ronald Perelman in 1989. In 1991 Perelman took MEG public. Following the rapid rise of this stock, Perelman issued a series of junk bonds that he used to acquire other entertainment companies, secured by MEG stock.

Marvel earned a great deal of money with their 1980s children's comics imprint Star Comics and they earned a great deal more money and worldwide success during the comic book boom of the early 1990s, launching the successful 2099 line of comics set in the future (Spider-Man 2099, etc.) and the creatively daring though commercially unsuccessful Razorline imprint of superhero comics created by novelist and filmmaker Clive Barker. In 1990, Marvel began selling Marvel Universe Cards with trading card maker SkyBox International. These were collectible trading cards that featured the characters and events of the Marvel Universe. The 1990s saw the rise of variant covers, cover enhancements, swimsuit issues, and company-wide crossovers that affected the overall continuity of the Marvel Universe. 

Marvel suffered a blow in early 1992, when seven of its most prized artists — Todd McFarlane (known for his work on Spider-Man), Jim Lee (X-Men), Rob Liefeld (X-Force), Marc Silvestri (Wolverine), Erik Larsen (The Amazing Spider-Man), Jim Valentino (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Whilce Portacio (Uncanny X-Men) — left to form Image Comics in a deal brokered by Malibu Comics' owner Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Three years later, on November 3, 1994, Rosenberg sold Malibu to Marvel. In purchasing Malibu, Marvel now owned the leading standard for computer coloring of comic books that had been developed by Rosenberg, and also integrated the Ultraverse line of comics and the Genesis Universe into Marvel's multiverse.

In late 1994, Marvel acquired the comic book distributor Heroes World Distribution to use as its own exclusive distributor. As the industry's other major publishers made exclusive distribution deals with other companies, the ripple effect resulted in the survival of only one other major distributor in North America, Diamond Comic Distributors Inc. Then, by the middle of the decade, the industry had slumped, and in December 1996 MEG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In early 1997, when Marvel's Heroes World endeavor failed, Diamond also forged an exclusive deal with Marvel — giving the company its own section of its comics catalog Previews.

To help Marvel expand its storytelling during the early to mid-1990s, they began to experiment with their series, including Saturday-morning cartoons and various comic collaborations to explore new genres. In 1992, they released the X-Men: The Animated Series which was aired on Fox Kids, they later released a Spider-Man: The Animated Series on the network as well. In 1993, Marvel teamed up with Thomas Nelson to create Christian media genre comics, including a Christian superhero named The Illuminator, they made adaptions of Christian novels too, including In His Steps, The Screwtape Letters, and The Pilgrim's Progress. In 1996, Marvel had some of its titles participate in "Heroes Reborn", a crossover that allowed Marvel to relaunch some of its flagship characters such as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, and outsource them to the studios of two of the former Marvel artists turned Image Comics founders, Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld. The relaunched titles, which saw the characters transported to a parallel universe with a history distinct from the mainstream Marvel Universe, were a solid success amidst a generally struggling industry.

MARVEL ENTERPRISES

In 1997, Toy Biz bought Marvel Entertainment Group to end the bankruptcy, forming a new corporation, Marvel Enterprises. With his business partner Avi Arad, publisher Bill Jemas, and editor-in-chief Bob Harras, Toy Biz co-owner Isaac Perlmutter helped stabilize the comics line.

In 1998, the company launched the imprint Marvel Knights, taking place just outside Marvel continuity with better production quality. The imprint was helmed by soon-to-become editor-in-chief Joe Quesada; it featured tough, gritty stories showcasing such characters as the Daredevil, the Inhumans, and Black Panther.

With the new millennium, Marvel Comics emerged from bankruptcy and again began diversifying its offerings. In 2001, Marvel withdrew from the Comics Code Authority and established its own Marvel Rating System for comics. The first title from this era to not have the code was X-Force #119 (October 2001). Marvel also created new imprints, such as MAX (an explicit-content line) and Marvel Adventures (developed for child audiences). The company also created an alternate universe imprint, Ultimate Marvel, that allowed the company to reboot its major titles by revising and updating its characters to introduce to a new generation.

Some of the company's properties were adapted into successful film franchises, such as the Men in Black movie series (which was based on a Malibu book), starting in 1997, the Blade movie series, starting in 1998, the X-Men movie series, starting in 2000, and the highest grossing series, Spider-Man, beginning in 2002.

Marvel's Conan the Barbarian title was canceled in 1993 after 275 issues, while the Savage Sword of Conan magazine had lasted 235 issues. Marvel published additional titles including miniseries until 2000 for a total of 650 issues. Conan was picked up by Dark Horse Comics three years later.

In a cross-promotion, the November 1, 2006, episode of the CBS soap opera The Guiding Light, titled "She's a Marvel", featured the character Harley Davidson Cooper (played by Beth Ehlers) as a superheroine named the Guiding Light. The character's story continued in an eight-page backup feature, "A New Light", that appeared in several Marvel titles published November 1 and 8. Also that year, Marvel created a wiki on its Web site.

In late 2007 the company launched Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, a digital archive of over 2,500 back issues available for viewing, for a monthly or annual subscription fee. At the December 2007 the New York Anime Fest, the company announcement that Del Rey Manga would published two original English language Marvel manga books featuring the X-Men and Wolverine to hit the stands in spring 2009.

In 2009 Marvel Comics closed its Open Submissions Policy, in which the company had accepted unsolicited samples from aspiring comic book artists, saying the time-consuming review process had produced no suitably professional work. The same year, the company commemorated its 70th anniversary, dating to its inception as Timely Comics, by issuing the one-shot Marvel Mystery Comics 70th Anniversary Special #1 and a variety of other special issues.

DISNEY CONGLOMERATE 2009 ONWARDS

On August 31, 2009, The Walt Disney Company announced it would acquire Marvel Comics' parent corporation, Marvel Entertainment, for a cash and stock deal worth approximately $4 billion, which if necessary would be adjusted at closing, giving Marvel shareholders $30 and 0.745 Disney shares for each share of Marvel they owned. As of 2008, Marvel and its major competitor DC Comics shared over 80% of the American comic-book market.

As of September 2010, Marvel switched its bookstore distribution company from Diamond Book Distributors to Hachette Distribution Services. Marvel moved its office to the Sports Illustrated Building in October 2010.

Marvel relaunched the CrossGen imprint, owned by Disney Publishing Worldwide, in March 2011. Marvel and Disney Publishing began jointly publishing Disney/Pixar Presents magazine that May.

Marvel discontinued its Marvel Adventures imprint in March 2012, and replaced them with a line of two titles connected to the Marvel Universe TV block. Also in March, Marvel announced its Marvel ReEvolution initiative that included Infinite Comics, a line of digital comics, Marvel AR, a software application that provides an augmented reality experience to readers and Marvel NOW!, a relaunch of most of the company's major titles with different creative teams. Marvel NOW! also saw the debut of new flagship titles including Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men.

In April 2013, Marvel and other Disney conglomerate components began announcing joint projects. With ABC, a Once Upon a Time graphic novel was announced for publication in September. With Disney, Marvel announced in October 2013 that in January 2014 it would release its first title under their joint "Disney Kingdoms" imprint "Seekers of the Weird", a five-issue miniseries. On January 3, 2014, fellow Disney subsidiary Lucasfilm announced that as of 2015, Star Wars comics would once again be published by Marvel.

Following the events of the company-wide crossover "Secret Wars" in 2015, a relaunched Marvel universe began in September 2015, called the All-New, All-Different Marvel.

Marvel Legacy was the company's Fall 2017 re-launch branding, which began that September. Books released as part of that initiative featured lenticular variant covers that required comic book stores to double their regular issue order to be able to order the variants. The owner of two Comix Experience stores complained about requiring retailers to purchase an excess of copies featuring the regular cover, which they would not be able to sell in order to acquire the more sought-after variant. Marvel responded to these complaints by rescinding these ordering requirements on newer series, but maintained it on more long-running titles like Invincible Iron Man. As a result, MyComicShop.com and at least 70 other comic book stores boycotted these variant covers. Despite the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Logan, Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming in theaters, none of those characters' titles featured in the top 10 sales and the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series was cancelled. Conan Properties International announced on January 12, 2018, that Conan would return to Marvel in early 2019.

On March 1, 2019, Serial Box, a digital book platform, announced a partnership with Marvel, in which they would publish new and original stories tied to a number of Marvel's popular franchises.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, from March to May 2020, Marvel and its distributor Diamond Comic Distributors stopped producing and releasing new comic books.

On March 25, 2021, Marvel Comics announced that they planned to shift their direct market distribution for monthly comics and graphic novels from Diamond Comic Distributors to Penguin Random House. The change was scheduled to start on October 1, 2021, in a multi-year partnership. The arrangement would still allow stores the option to order comics from Diamond, but Diamond would be acting as a wholesaler rather than distributor.

John Storm is a new breed of British super hero, a modern Knight. Seen here with Dan Hawk, at the helm of the Elizabeth Swann. The formidable high tech duo discover they have no way to make it in the book or film world, but discover that they make excellent comic characters, ideal for publication as graphic novels. George Franks, mentor, is held to be a descendant of King Arthur, a knight of the fabled Round Table. The Swann's onboard weapons early warning and targeting system is called: Merlin. The laser cannon: Excalibur. And the tazer anti-piracy boarding system: Pendragon.

 

 

 

John Storm is a hybrid character. A new breed of modern Knight, fighting to protect the natural world and the archaeology that defines man's development, from Tanzania, to the Moon and beyond. Storm's ace in the hole is the Elizabeth Swann, the onboard AI, Hal, and his enhanced performance via a brain implant and genetic modification. Thus, just about keeping pace with what the market expects in a modern world: A technological super secret agent. In this case, for Blue Shield & UNESCO.
