Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I'm editing this OP and pinning it to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules still apply.

  • This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
  • While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
  • Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

Looks Ron Perlman-esque. I think they made the top of his skull too big.

Wow, the Avengers sure are staring calmly while Thanos behind them prepares to annihilate the galaxy.

They just finished part of shooting so not yet, maybe in October? There was that brief snippet at D23. Anyway Bucky, Rhodey and Hawkeye being there but no Cap/Nomad or Black Widow strikes me as rather interesting. Thor's also not there either but according to the D23 spoilers there's plot reasons for that.

[up][up][up]The panel isn't until 5, lol. And even then there's a good chance they won't put it online.

[up]There is probably one more poster to complete the image.

[up] Yeah, there's a beam of light going towards the left that seems to be similar to the one going towards the right that can be seen in the first poster we got.

Why would you expect there be an IW trailer? It's still three movies away.

Same for Ragnarok come to think of it.

Well, the Black Panther trailer dropped in June, and the movie comes out in February. Meanwhile, it's currently July, and Infinity War comes out in May. So I think time's the issue here.

[up]Whaaaaaat? That's pretty awesome.

'80s, not '90s, so even more so. Also that international trailer is coming up as blocked by Disney for me. Anyone been able to watch it?

Oh fuck, so that's how Captain Marvel's gonna show up in Infinity War. Nice. And fuck yes, Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster! I was wondering if they'd bring him in.

Aw shit, even more nice.

Hulk will be speaking in Ragnarok. He's more evolved now and hasn't changed back to Banner in two years.

I remembered they confirmed a while back that Captain Marvel would be in Infinity War, so I was kinda confused if they'd have her origin in there like they did with Black Panther in Civil War or not.

Of course this makes me wonder how Brie Larson wouldn't age for nearly thirty years.

Does the whole movie take place in the '80s? Empire's pretty reputable, but this could be an Ant-Man situation where we're finding out there was a whole secret history of superheroes and aliens and superscience between TFA and Iron Man and Hulk showing up.

And holy crap, Lawrence Fishburne, too, in the same era? This day just keeps getting better.
