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.

I think it's still there. It was called Troy(looked it up)and was built on a former Mandarin-owned location close to China by Tony after the Mandarin died. It has over 500000 people living in it and is under the control of Tony's brother Arno after Tony moved away from it to prevent it from becoming a target like usually happens to places where he lives.
Btw Tony is in Death Battle vs Lex Luthor:

I wonder what happened to the couple from Item 47. At best, they probably think they are working for SHIELD while actually working for HYDRA. Otherwise, they're probably either imprisoned in the HYDRA version of one of these
or are dead.

They haven't said it's The Helicarrier in show yet, and I don't recall the films saying the ship's name, so it's possible that the Word of God that said that the Illiad is The Helicarrier is wrong.
Take with a grain of salt, but a whole bunch of interesting information and potential spoilers for several upcoming movies:

Well there was that claim that Falcon is in The Stinger for Ant-Man so maybe he recruits him for the Avengers but he ends up switching allegiances.
Some details about the aborted female Spider-Man spin-off
.
Apparently Sony was in damage control after the stupid decision to kill off Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy, so the idea was they would bring her back as an alternate universe version of Spider-Woman, who ends up teaming up with Silver Sable to take down Doctor Octopus and Mr. Negative.
And
there was apparently some massive drama over Drew Goddard jumping ship from Daredevil to make the Sinister Six movie. Like the legally actionable kind.
It's actually really funny they both had the same basic idea. Unless it was Ret-Canon.

THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE A SPIDER-GWEN MOVIE.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. BUT I WANTED IT SO MUCH.
PLEASE. PLEEEASE.
The Deadpool movie is happening because people were enthusiastic. Come on, we can still get Sony to do this.

I think a hypothetical Sony spider-man verse could have done without alternative universes. That's like; suicidal world building this early in the game.
Saying that, thanks to Miles and Mayday, you can gte a lot of bang for your buck with a Spider-man film franchises which hinges on alternative worlds.

Yeah it'd be cool. And you wouldn't even need to necessarily reference ASM 2 either since the premise of an alternate universe still works.
Heh. Looking at the Civil War rumor it actually looks like the deck is stacked hilariously in Stark's favor, if that turns out to be true.
John Ridley
(12 Years A Slave, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock) is working on a new TV show for Marvel. It's described as revitalizing an old Marvel property.

I thought Dwayne Mc Duffie did the writing for Static. Or was that just the comic? I'm not sure of his exact role regarding the show.

Yeah, most of the talk about Stark Industries, whenever we get specifics, is that they went from being a weapons company to an energy company. Which sucks for about half the existing staff as of '08 but what're you gonna do.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.
