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.

Ultron and Kang are probably the two most iconic Avengers villains that aren't a Rogues' Gallery Transplant so I expect him to be in Avengers 4.
And because Chris Hemsworth is lazy, Jackson put up his too

Should Marvel get Fantastic Four back at that point, I'd love for a FF movie featuring Rama-Tut as the villain premiere in the same year as a Kang the Conqueror Avengers movie.
And then have them revealed to be the same guy in The Stinger in whichever movie comes last in the most confusing, Timey Wimey, and contrived way possible.

It depends on whether or not Scarlet Witch is a Reality Warper in the movies, but I guess you could say Speed and Wiccan are something she accidentally creates while being tortured/experimented on by HYDRA.
Their ages always made very little sense (there's no way in-universe the incident with Wanda's babies was already 18-19 years ago) so I always assumed they'd received an offscreen Plot-Relevant Age-Up anyway.
That was my point. Time travel would tie back to the YA original story and serve as an easy(er) answer for the kids age.
Nick fury is included, that means more than eight posters!
@Speed and Wicken; considering that the MCU works in real time; it's actually possible that you could have the children, just, grow up.
I think Runaways could compile a few other young heroes into the team, on the ground Marvel is so eager to do something with the property, and shaking up the roster means it's no longer a foregone conclusion who the mole is.
I expect post Phrase 3 Kamala Khan and possibly focus movies for the Maximoffs and or Vision will take the place of heroes who's actors' contracts run out.
In her own comic she currently looks like this

Which is odd because despite Marvel's massive synergy boner they still have her with long hair in all the cartoons and comics despite her having shorter hair in every movie but Iron Man 2.
And interestingly Iron Man 2 was where I thought her hair looked most obviously fake. The curls made it look like the top of a Raggedy Anne doll.

Black Widow's hair has always been a bit problematic in the MCU. Either the shade or the way it falls is just off.
Which is weird cause if they just dyed Scarlett Johansson's hair a normal shade of red it would probably work fine.
"War without fire is like sausages without mustard." - Jean Juvénal des UrsinsIt's almost never used for full on time travel in the comics. At most it's used to rewind time back a day(like at the end of Infinity Gauntlet)rather than transport Thanos/Adam Warlock/whoever back in time. Its full range of powers are:
Time Gem: Total control over all aspects of time including time travel, stopping time, slowing down or speed up flow of time and to accelerate or slow down aging.

That would mean that they could only show up, at earliest, in 2030. I guess that, if MCU is still a thing by then, they will certainly need fresh new heroes to substitute for the old ones
Wanda (and Vision) wanted kids and this was when Wanda was at her strongest so she just reality-warped two into existence. They were destroyed (I think Mephisto was involved), leading to her assorted problems, but their spirits were later reincarnated, keeping their powers and twin-ness.
So biologically they're some other people's kids. Wiccan seems to care about the situation a great deal more than Speed does though.

After Thanos? If they get that far I'm do't see the harm. He about Ultron level in infamy, the only other candidate I've seen most Avengers fans see as the Arch-Enemy of the whole team so it's not like he has no-one that wants him on screen. The problem is how much of his history is worth adapting.
