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.

...so the MCU seems to be collecting people who've worked with Steven Moffat.
I mean, we have Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Karen Gillan, Jenna Coleman, Benedict Cumberbatch and now Martin Freeman.
That's the two leads of Sherlock, and either a Doctor or a Companion from each era of New Who.

Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Having watched The First Avenger after playing Xenoblade I got a different sort of Retroactive Recognition from Coleman's cameo. Looks like even in the MCU Melia's romances are doomed to failure
I think this is more a "the MCU is HUGE" thing. I remember that there were jokes going around that the Harry Potter series used nearly every British actor with a decent name in Britain (which was not far from the truth). Between DC and Marvel they will swoop up more or less every actor who isn't too shabby in the next years.
I am personally still waiting for them to announce Matt Bomer in some role. They have already used half of the cast of White Collar in some role or another.
I'm waiting to see if they ever start firing shots via hiring the same actors.
"DC hires Bob to play Green Lantern!"
Two years later
"Marvel hires Bob to play a nameless space cop who gets his ass kicked by Nova!"

Forever liveblogging the AvengersHulk's penis is the most dangerous part of having sex with Banner, though.
It doesn't even have to be particularly impressive, relatively speaking. Just being proportionately sized would be damaging enough.

It's a shame because I really, really wanted Martin Freeman to play Dormammu.
The role reversal would've been glorious.
