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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

I can't disagree since my strategy for JJJ is to just bring back JK Simmons and not acknowledge anything weird about it.

The first Spider-Man movies did a lot of things wrong. Casting for Norman Osbourne and Jameson wasn't one of them.

So, back on the discussion: what actress would make the best Kamala Khan?

That's what we were talking about, right?

Are there any well-known teenage Pakistani-American actresses?

Tried to do a search on The Other Wiki and didn't have success. Might be an instance where they would need to do a casting call.

Unless they're on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, I don't think there are that many well known teenage actors in general.
