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.

Pretty sure he was an Xmen first
New theme music also a box
No he was a Hulk villain first. Well, antagonist anyway. His first appearance was The Incredible Hul #180.

Wikpedia listed his Hulk appearance as a cameo before making a full appearance in the xmen comics
Interesting

Huh? No, Wikipedia lists Wolverine's appearance in The Incredible Hulk #180 as a cameo before making his first full appearance in The Incredible Hulk #181.

I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
I read that comic, Wolverine looked weird. If memory serves, Hulk met him because Hulk was in Canada to avoid the US military. Hulk and Logan fought, and then they teamed up to fight the Wendigo.
I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
Which actor would you want for Silver Surfer? Frankly, I think they could just bring back Doug Jones, with the right direction, that man is a phenomenal actor.
Although, there is something charmingly humanizing about the "actual surfer bro" take in Super Hero Squad, like Silver Surfer was just some surfer dude back on his home planet before he became Herald to Galactus, and his Herald power manifested as a surfboard because it's what he was most familiar and comfortable with. I don't know if Doug Jones can pull off "surfer bro", however.

Wonder if they'll have him tell a story via CGI abs again.

Sometimes, it's strange to think that one of Marvel's most popular characters is Canadian in nationality not American. Especially, when he so brutally averts the stereotype of Canadians being polite to a fault.
I'm Sad Frogerson.
The same thing applies to Deadpool, too.
Although it's pretty much a Running Gag at this point that Canada is a hellhole in the Marvel Universe.
Be nice to comic writers, or your country will be made to look terrible. Larry Hama served with rude Australians in Vietnam, so when G.I. Joe needed a rude biker gang, he made them all Australians who were portrayed as complete pigs.
Obviously we need this guy to come back as the Silver Surfer.
So, fun unrelated note, but did anyone see this? It's called "Gambit: Play For Keeps", a very well-produced Gambit film that seems to have been in production for about two years. Production values are through the roof for a fan-film. Gambit and Rogue get some cool portrayals. The script is wonkier (it does come across like they had to chop it down from something that was significantly larger) but it still kind of works as a Rule of Cool little thing to make you wonder about Gambit on the big-screen.
Takes some visible cues from the crime thriller comedies of Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, The Gentleman) and Joe Carnham (Smoking Aces, Stretch) but moreso the latter. It also bizarrely features none other than Eric Roberts as the Big Bad, which legitimately surprised me though I guess Eric Roberts has always been able to show up on anything if paid half a dime.

A not for profit fan film usually falls under Fair Use laws. They’re not stretching that definition to include licensed footage or anything.
His cards attacks are in concept...well..his card attacks. He just tosses them, they glow purple (to varying extents) and they explode, knocking people backwards with a slight purple explosion. Aesthetically, they use a lot of slow-motion shots of people flying backwards and slow-motion close-up tracking shots of the cards flying towards the camera stylishly. The cards also often seem to float or levitate through the air while Gambit is shuffling through them or throwing them. It's aesthetically reminiscent of how X-Men Origins: Wolverine portrayed Gambit's powers, of all things.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
In an interview with Empire, part of which was released in preview online yesterday, Black Widow director Cate Shortland implied the film will have Nat pass on her title to Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova.
Too old for this
Hey, I remember speculating about the movie introducing the next Black Widow. For once I'd have been right when trying to predict movie plots.

Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.
The King Without a Kingdom
I've been thinking that ever since that actress was announced.
It's been 3000 years…
As long as she doesn't die or turns out to be bad, everything points to Yelena being the new Black Widow.
Off-topic: Does anyone know if the weapons Skurge used to kill Asgardian zombies were special in any way.? Or are the Asgardians in the movies really that weak?

Thing with making Yelena the new Black Widow is ... have the movies ever actually used the Black Widow codename?
The "Black Widow" alias pops up in Avengers 2012, in the scene where she's playing those dudes who think they're about to torture her. I don't think it's used anywhere else outside of marketing.
The fact that Black Widow takes place post-Avengers seems like a pretty indication that it'd be going that way, as it'd allow them to touch on Natasha's backstory and redemption without making the whole film a prequel, by using her own redemption of Yelena as a proxy vehicle.
She mainly did because it was the only way she could stay alive.
He started out as a Hulk villain.....which didn't go well for him.
