Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here 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 without spoiler tagging 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.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Eh. Considering how mediocre Book of Boba Fett was, I'm not too sure if Robert Rodriguez would be a good fit for a Marvel project.
I liked The Hard Goodbye and the action parts of From Dusk Till Dawn tho.
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."I'm definitely envisioning more of a grindhouse-y From Dusk Till Dawn meets Planet Terror vibe here. Johnny Blaze (Lakeith Stanfield), Roxanne Simpson (Jessica Alba), Mephisto (Antonio Banderas), and Scarecrow (Javier Botet) would make up the original, and then future installments would involve Danny Ketch (Pedro Pascal), Robbie Reyes (Gabriel Luna reprising), Ilyana Rasputin (Samara Weaving), Belasco (Jason Isaacs), and Zadkiel (Evan Jonigkeit).
Rodriguez is hit or miss as a director as far as I'm concerned. His best films were largely in the 1990's (El Mariachi, Desperado, From Dusk 'Til Dawn).
Personally I'd like to see George Miller direct a Ghost Rider film in full Mad Max mode. He did nearly have experience with superhero movies before (he was attached to the Justice League movie that never happened).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."As far as other Rodriguez collaborators go, I'd hold off on Danny Trejo for this, but I kinda envision him as Ch'od in Starjammers. Elijah Wood I'd like to see as Owl Jr. in Daredevil (who was originally confirmed to be a future villain), and Cheech Marin could basically just be a tamer version of Chet Pussy, probably as a ringmaster or emcee at Johnny Blaze's circus. I'd save Alexa Vega for Angela del Toro, depending on what they do with Hector Ayala.

I guess having a Jewish actor play a Nazi is a fairly common thing to do.
Disney100 Marathon | DreamWorks MarathonZombie feels like a Great Value Rodriguez half the time, though I wouldn't mind seeing him take a crack at Daimon Hellstrom or Jennifer Kale/Man-Thing. I do envision Black Sunshine, Electric Head Pt. 1, or El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-o-Rama being a great opening song for a Ghost Rider movie, especially if it's an 80s or 90s period piece and they really want to do up the trashy, sleazy grindhouse feel.

Multiverse of Madness actually got praise for Raimi's flourishes giving it a slightly different style than other MCU films.
