Spielberg leaving Disney, looking at Back to the Future and Jaws remakes and now dissing Superheros. What's with all the publicity? Does he have a new movie out next week? Look at the comments below. Some are pleased with his comments. Everything comes and goes in cycles but it's not people will get tired of Superhero movies. Its the bad ones that people get tired of and ruins it for everyone else. Hear that Fox and DC?

Long story short: "Nobody Knows Nothing" All this talk about tracking and they still missed the mark to the point that both companies declined to comment. It's all about the fans of cinema and thier love of movies instead of corporations and suits.

Let's face it. Put in Hulk and Thor and you might as call it Avengers 3 instead of Civil War. So while we know Thor was never considered to be in Civil War, having Hulk it this, it would not be a Captain America movie even through the line is so close. Hulk needs to be given he's own movie again and hopefully they'll get it right.
