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.

And when we say "busts out of the helicarrier", we mean "busts out of the flying helicarrier, lands on a fighter jet, and commandeers it from the outside. So illogical, and so badass.
Just read this.
I thought a while back about making this its own works page, but haven't yet.
The fact that the MCU really doesn't have secret identities actually makes the likes of Spider-Man, Daredevil, and possibly Black Panther more interesting. The whole "hiding behind the mask" thing has some legitimate weight here, especially with the mounds of sneaky SHIELD shit that keeps surfacing back up.
I think it was said they don't really have a specific chronology or plan to crossover into the films in order to avoid Continuity Lock-Out.
The films don't include stuff from the shows to a major extent to avoid Continuity Lock-Out. However, the shows themselves are in the films' continuity and timeline, and the events from the movies can and will affect the shows in major ways.
You guys and gals know this already, and I'm just late to the party, right?

Agreed, by the article's own admission any hypothetical Iron Man 4 was never in production on any meaningful level. The door for one might of been open if he didn't want to do Cap 3 but still wanted to play Iron Man, but I'd hardly considering that "turning down" a role.

According to some sites it's RDJ who approached Marvel for a bigger role in the third Cap movie and Marvel begrudgingly allowed it to become Civil War to accommodate him. While others state that Marvel was the one to come to RDJ requesting that he take a big role in Cap 3 so they could get Civil War off the ground, or else they would've had to switch over to an RDJ-less backup storyline. I'm not sure which set of rumors to believe more at this point.

They gave RDJ a huge sum of money to appear so I'm leaning towards the latter. He'd said as far back as Iron Man 3 that he was worried he was getting too old for these movies and that it might eventually be time to start winding down, so this might have been a compromise. This way he doesn't have to carry the whole film by himself and Marvel still gets its Iron Man.
So what do you think AOU's RT rating will be? Higher or lower than 83%?
For that matter, will Ant-Man score higher or lower than 67%?

Its not really a thing that concerns me? I just hope/expect to enjoy it.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()
Just enjoy the movies and stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.
Marvel's looking for more extras for Civil War for a scene apparently taking place in Africa
, and another one involving a bunch of rich people.
Yeah, L, don't fuss too much over scores if you enjoy something.
Ant Man is totes going to be higher than that. I BELIEVE
Oh yeah, I saw the Ant Man poster at my local cinema. It's amazing that Scott is so tiny, and yet if you really look you can make out a surprising amount of detail.
