Kid Loki that also leads up to Young Avengers would be a great idea.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

This is why I want Kid Loki — he doesn't invalidate the original Loki's death. Sure, he's Loki, but he's a different Loki.

There are plenty of ways to keep Loki around without bringing him back to life.

Personally, I think he'll hang around as an illusion that haunts Thor before transitioning into Kid Loki.

This song needs more love.

Count me in as wanting kid Loki. But I also take adult Loki to fill some of the blanks.

Whether in Avengers 4 or later, I want Thor to go on a straight-up voyage to the Norse afterlife, so Loki, Hela, and any other dead Asgardians they can wrangle up can appear.

That's kind of a problem, because they haven't really established a Norse afterlife and Hela being the "Goddess of Death" was more about her being really good at killing, rather than ruling over the dead.

Yes please.

I know a guy who suspects that Avenger's 4 won't utilize time travel, but be an adaptation of the most recent version of Secret Wars.

What we'll be looking is other universes based on specific moments from the MCU not unlike the Battleworld of the 2015 secret wars.

So Secret Wars will probably be the title of the fourth movie. I admit, it could work. Plus with the Fox deal still playing out and the Xmen and Fantastic Four needing to be integrated somehow, Cosmic Retcon and alt universes seem like the most logical way to pull it off.

Any thoughts on this.

How would it involve Thanos?

Thanos would be ruling one of the worlds on Battleworld.

Note that it's been mentioned by Crossbone's actor that he's going to return in some capacity. If we have worlds based on different moments from across the MCU (like the battle of New York, the Battle of Sokovia, the fall of Shield) there's be room for him to return...along with a lot of other dead villains.

It could be a cameo I admit, but it's not impossible.

Edit: To be more precise, the place he's in at the end of Infinity War is his own section of Battle World.

Edit: He also brings up Vision and Ultron's final conversation. Namely how Ultron states they're all doomed. Now both of them came from the Mind Stone, and Vision did seem to understand on some level what Thanos was (enough to be afraid of him, or at least that the stone was warning him about Thanos).

Now, this one might be reading too much into things, but I'm gonna keep an open mind on it.

I feel like right now the setting is too small for Secret Wars II. We’ve barely dipped a toe in the Multiverse.

No no no thats a terrible idea in my book the mcu should not mess with the multiverse shenanigans.

Well at least not yet

I was thinking they'd lead into the multiverse shenanigans by first broaching the concept through time travel shenanigans. So not Secret Wars, not yet, but it would be a way of opening the setting up as they start phasing out the core Avengers.

The fun part of multiverse shenanigans is seeing a bunch of different takes on the same character.

I don't feel like that meshes well with either the "X number of movies" contracts or the actors aging out of their roles.

Like. You can write a cool multiverse story where Iron Man takes over the world and that's neat, but it doesn't change the fact that RDJ isn't available to star in your film.

Multiverse stories are the kind of plot that just work better in serial formats like television shows, cartoons, and comics. Mediums where trying to track down all the actors you want to showcase parallel versions of and getting them to the set isn't as much of a factor.

My Tumblr. Currently liveblogging Haruhi Suzumiya and revisiting Danganronpa V3.

I mean, you could just say "the butterfly effect caused a different sperm to create that character, so while they're the same person, they can be played by a different actor who just looks similar".

I agree with Tobias Drake.

It just doesn't fit well with the movie format

Thankfully Spider-Verse is animated.

Huh would an animated film in the MCU work?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I wouldn't do it. I think it really helps to leave the animated stuff as their own thing.

But hey, now that Disney owns really all the Fox rights, they could create an animated multiverse which would include most of their TV shows...minus the Sony ones, naturally.

On the movie side, well, Ao S already kind of introduced the concept. I think they are testing the waters there. So I think it could work. But that is something which needs to get built up, just cramming it into the finale of phase 3 might be a little bit much.

I'd be on-board for a Howard The Duck animated movie or even a Who Framed Roger Rabbit-esque mix of animation and live-action.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."

i think howard's cameo in GOTG lowers significly the possibility of it happening sadly.

Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson lost his home in the California fires.

Peace is the only battle worth waging.

That is realy sad i hope he and his family find a new home

Yeah, "kind of" being the operative term. AOS had an alternate universe...which was actually a computer simulation a la The Matrix. But then they had an actual dimensional breach...to a fear dimension that could manifest your worst fears. So no actual "multiple realities with different versions of characters" as of yet, but it would be interesting to see. It would also let them get around Coulson's death again.

I was actually referring to the multiverse theory which played a big role in season 5. And if it weren't correct, well, the actor of Deke still has a role next season, so there is that.

I wonder if the MCU will ever do a crossover with the X-Men movieverse. I want Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to realize they are alternate dimension counterparts of each other's sibling, and they bond over each having lost their brother/sister, respectively.
