![]() ![]() Cinema-goers’ uncertainty over Blade Runner 2049’s downbeat worldview and meditative pace comes down at least in part, I’d suggest, to the entrenchment of Marvel’s winning formula of star power, pop spectacle, a rousing soundtrack and rewardingly busy plots, which the studio seems to further refine film by film, to maximise its cine-sucrose hit. What seems increasingly likely, though, is that they’re also changing the way we watch. Cinematic universes are Hollywood’s new normal, from the fanatically micromanaged Star Wars and Fantastic Beasts lines to scragglier also-rans and wannabes like Warner Bros.’ DC Comics cycle, or Universal’s Dark Universe, in which the studio’s roster of classic monsters will lumber off on an interconnected series of “new and modern adventures”, whether anyone wants them to or not. Nine years and 17 films into the Great Marvel Project, it’s clear this franchise has changed how blockbusters are made. Dir: Taika Waititi starring: Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Hiddleston, Tessa Thompson, Idris Elba.
