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.

Some day this week it reached 1 billion.
But...
Out-gross the first avengers? I'm going to say no, I think it would be rather unlikely, even though it still has Japan to open in.

Crow: There's a plot?
Today...or Friday, to be precise. Because when I was looking a few hours ago, it hadn't passed the point yet.
It is difficult to tell, which makes the whole thing so interesting. It doesn't do as good as The Avengers in the domestic box office so far (it could still make more overall by keeping the numbers stable for longer, but I doubt it), but it kills it international. Not just in China (it didn't quite manage Fast and Furious numbers on the opening, but it opened on a Tuesday where the ticked prices are lower, while Fast and Furious opened on the weekend), but in general. It should move past The Dark Knight at the very least after this weekend, and the movie isn't even a month in the theatres and still has to open in Japan.
Fast and Furious made only half of what the Avengers did domestically but is nevertheless directly behind it due to international box office. Age of Ultron is strong domestically and internationally, so yes, I would say it still has a good chance to move past both movies. The next two weeks should paint a clearer picture.

So this is who the funeral scene is for.

Grain of salt, etc. etc. But even if this particular doc isn't real it's probably who we're expecting.

So. I'm up to episode four of Daredevil.
Wilson Fisk. He's the spectrum, isn't he?
My various fanfics.^^ Isn't "a few years" the earliest we could get a movie of the character anyway?
Carol is usually depicted as early 30s. Emma Stone wouldn't be too far off.
I wouldn't want her to be Spider-Woman though because I always imagine Spider-Woman as having a posh British accent.

No, that's Ultimate Jessica Drew. Silk's just some girl from the 616 verse that also happened to get bit by the radioactive spider.

Anyone care to take guesses on whether Age of Ultron will manage to pass $500 mil. domestically? (Or, for that matter, pass Furious 7 worldwide?)
It's doing well, obviously, but seems to be doing significantly less well that many people expected; there were tons of predictions that it was going to outgross Avengers.
