It's not just Hugh Jackman, they're all there until they're 90. Hell, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are nearly there. Forget 90, why not a cool C-note? With AI, they can go even longer. Tom Holland will be playing Spider Man beyond the year 2100.

And he’ll still look 16.

Pre ordering seems a bit foolish. But then again I'm still on my "try to give zero money to Disney and other mega corps" kick.

This is why things never get better. We vote with our wallets. 10 of us don't buy the thing and 2000 do.

They're probably servo-guards. Visually similar design, much smaller, and less powerful, but easier to mass produce.

It's people reserving seats for opening night/weekend. Not as absurd as presales for video games.

I agree with the sentiment of your statement, but I wouldn’t consider movie ticket sales to be the same as a preorder.

Some cinemas don't do reservations anymore. You can only buy in advance

Similar. You're buying tickets before any reviews are out. It won't crash on launch like a video game might, but it's still a lot of faith for minimal gain. I guess they could sell out, but you could just wait.
