Here’s everything you may have missed this morning Tuesday, July 24, 2018. In Case You Missed It (ICYMI).
Warning: POSSIBLE SPOILERS
1. Robert De Niro Might Join Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Movie in a Key Role for Some Reason via io9
“According to the Hollywood Reporter, Robert De Niro is in talks with the studio to join Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker film, playing the host of a late-night talk show who comes to play an instrumental part in the Joker’s origins. While that doesn’t quite map on to the character’s comic book origins, it makes sense that the film, set in the ‘80s, would incorporate a Johnny Carson-like figure in the Joker’s life; perhaps he’ll first meet him his early days of trying and ultimately failing to become a stand-up comedian.”
2. AVENGERS Helmer Joss Whedon Admits He Didn’t Know What To Do With Thanos; Praises INFINITY WAR Directors via Comic Book Movie
“I love Thanos. I love his apocalyptic vision, his love affair with death. I love his power. But, I don’t really understand it. He’s had a lot of power, and he was cool in the comics. And I’m like, Thanos is the ultimate Marvel villain! And then I was like, I don’t actually know what I would do with Thanos. So, I liked what [the Russo brothers] did so much, and I thought Josh Brolin killed it. And they did an amazing job of keeping that performance on-screen. But it wasn’t like I was like, here’s a set of directions. I was like, I’m gonna get through Ultron, nap for four years, and then I’ll come to the premiere. Which I did! It was like, this is so cool!”

5. Paul Bettany Confused By Solo Bombing At Box Office via Screenrant
“I loved the movie. I went to see the movie and I loved it. I knew some real dyed-in-the-wool nerd fans, Ryan Adams, for instance, who was like, ‘It’s so fantastic, I love it!’ and then he went to see it again. I took him to the premiere and then he went to see it again. It was confusing to me. I thought the story was so great, I thought the execution was so great, so it was surprising, to me.”
