Iron Man 3: Rebecca Hall clarifies why Marvel reduced her role 'I signed on to do something that was a substantial role' Thursday 15 September 2016 14:05 BST Upon the release of the rather fantastic The Nice Guys, Shane Black spoke candidly about his time working on Marvel’s Iron Man 3, revealing that the film’s original villain was a female. According to the director, the villain - who was going to be played by Rebecca Hall - was cut due to Marvel not believing a female toy would sell. While promoting her new film at Toronto Film Festival, Hall explained how it was “100% sure” and that she had been “gagging to talk about it with someone, but I haven’t had the opportunity, weirdly.” “I signed on to do something that was a substantial role,” she told the audience according to The Toronto Sun. “She wasn’t entirely the villain – there have been several phases of this – but I signed on to do something very different to what I ended up doing.
33 Superhero films set for release between 2016 and 2020 “Halfway through shooting they were basically like, ‘What would you think if you just got shot out of nowhere?’ I was meant to be in the movie until the end... I grappled with them for awhile and then I said, ‘Well, you have to give me a decent death scene and you have to give me one more scene with Iron Man,’ which Robert Downey Jr. supported me on.” Marvel has often been criticised for not having a leading female superhero, something that is set to change with the release of Captain Marvel. “Look, (Marvel) is paying for their mistakes right now,” she added, “and I applaud them for casting Brie Larson in Captain Marvel. It’s about time women started being the heroes of things. They can also be the anti-heroes of the things and that’s what I feel I’m getting to do with Christine.” Meanwhile, Thor: Ragnarok will feature a female villain: Cate Blanchett is set to star as the villain Hella.
In part 1 of this series, we looked at how to get started with the Brickset module. In part 2 we examined how to easily download sets of instructions. Now in part 3 I’ll show you how to use the inventory features of Brickset. When you are logged into the Brickset website you can use the inventory features to help keep track of your collection. For example if you look at a particular set, you can mark the number of copies of that set you own, or if you don’t own it, mark it down as a set that you want: Also at the top of the page you’ll see a summary of the number of sets owned and wanted. Each is a clickable hyperlink which will provide you with a nice view of what you own or are looking to get hold of. Included in the PowerShell Brickset module are a set of functions for working with this functionality. First of all Get-BricksetCollectionTotals will give an overview on existing totals: Get-BricksetSetOwned will give details on owned sets: Get-BricksetSetWanted will give details on sets wanted:
Of course these are only useful if you have already populated your Brickset Inventory via the website. While it’s a pretty simple experience in the website to do that for individual sets, there could be a lot of clicking to do if you have a large amount of sets to upload. In it’s simplest form, to add one set: (Note: I don’t think the ‘xxx people own this set’ stat updates instantly whether you update your set ownership via the website or the API) Let’s say we now want to do a bulk upload of everything we own and we have a data set of our Lego sets contained in Excel. We could take that data and fire it at Set-BricksetSetOwned to do the bulk update. Here’s an example CSV file with a small amount of data to illustrate the process: and the following code will mark each of those sets as owned, with the number owned as the quantity: and now our collection is starting to look a bit more respectable: All that’s left for me to do is get a list of all of my owned sets into that CSV file and uploading to Brickset will take just a few seconds 🙂

When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
