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.

@ Windleopard - Thank you for posting/sharing.
Regarding the female friend, I would really happy if that does end up being Jazinda. Just something I would like, not a theory with any support.
In terms of actresses, maybe Brenda Song, Ali Wong, or Kelly Marie Tran? Or for a different kind of Asian, Tiya Sircar?
Edit - Re Miles, I think it's perfectly fine and it's my preference for him to go by Spider-Man in and out of universe, especially because he wears a distinguishable costume.
Regrding the different cities though, that reminds me of the recentish Superior Spider-Man where Otto was in (IIRC) San Francisco and called himself Spider-Man (not surprising, given his ego), but wore the Superior costume in what he claimed in-universe was an homage.

I think that’s part of why they had Kaine move to Dallas for a bit.

Sometimes, Marvel still forgets the world is bigger than New York, don't they?
Wake me up at your own risk.... Screwball?
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.Lucy from the movie Lucy?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersYeah, that description does fit Screwball, although 1) she's not a She-Hulk villain and 2) she's not really Big Bad material. I know Titana is pretty much the only major She Hulk villain, but that doesn't sound much like her
She-Hulk doesn't have any villains but Titania?
One Strip! One Strip!Doesn't Howard the Duck count as a rival to Jen at least?

She has a few, Titania is just by far her most prominent. That said, most of She-Hulk's rogue gallery is shared with other characters, mostly Hulk rogues or those general Marvel villains who aren't tied down to any particular character.
The only ones off the top of my head that I can think of that are primarily She-Hulk villains are Titania, Ogress and Lyra. But that's not to say that she doesn't have a healthy hero-villain relationship with some characters who also villain for other heroes as well.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.You'd figure this would be as good a spot for The Leader as any.
Who's to say we won't see him? I see Titania playing a big role, but at the same time I doubt she'd be the Big Bad.
I don't know enough about Oggress and Lyra to comment on them.
Man its a shame we can't get a crossover at the moment between She-Hulk & Daredevil.
It be cool to see them both lawyer together. Plus She-Hulk is green so she is truly an avocado at law.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Given that the article is citing the already very Jossed rumors that the third Spidey flick is going to be a multiverse movie, probably not.
And then, of course, there's the fact that We Got It Covered is all over the story.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.Agh, I debated with myself on whether to bring it up on this thread or not. I was under the impression that if they ever revisited any previously used Spider-Man villains, they would be performed by very different actors.
That impression got jossed when Jamie Foxx was announced to appear as Electro that, according to a now-deleted post on Foxx's Instagram, would not be blue, which was a defining trait of the character in ASM2 (for better or for worse). And now, there's rumblings of Molina returning as Doc Ock?
I already saw a lot of people calling "multiverse shenanigans," but what if he's just playing a rebooted MCU version of the character? Because Otto explicitly died in Spider-Man 2.
JLA/Avengers intensifies
Forever liveblogging the AvengersEh, I'd love to see Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Lantern yell Avengers Assemble

One Strip! One Strip!And for Wasp to say "Justice League, Lambaste!".
She had to say something. I mean, it's not her fault the Justice League doesn't really have much of a battle cry.
One Strip! One Strip!Silence is always an option, Rob. Better to let people think you're an idiot rather than open your mouth and confirm it.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.The only Doc Ock my life needs at this point is "Liv".
I'd say they already have a great actress lined up, but she's already going to be in the MCU as Ag* nes.
The sad, REAL American dichotomyPeople want the classic Ock, especially after seeing him used rather well in the PS 4 game. Liv is weird because there was a female Ock for a bit but she never gained momentum.
It'd be simpler if Miles and Peter operated out of different cities. Like, if one's the New York Spider-Man and the other's the Chicago Spider-Man, then there wouldn't be as many circumstances where the confusion would come up.
