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.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Project@Ant-Man stingers: Looks like that answers my question of "How are they going to get Hope a suit to be Wasp in the next one if there are only 2 suits on the hero side?". They already had one hidden away. Guessing she won't be in CW(because she hasn't been seen at the locations)and IW seems like not the right place for a new hero so she will probably disappear for a while like Pepper/Jane and only show up for a scene or two until after IW. The second stinger is just more buildup to CW.
All in all the movie doesn't sound amazing but it doesn't seem to fall in the same holes as Thor 2 and Ao U.

I'm seeing Ant Man this Friday.

Even so they had maybe 3 minutes of screentime combined. If Hope is in CW she probably won't be there as Wasp, the hero, but as Hope, friend of Ant-Man. They're going to save her putting on the suit for either a major scene in a Avengers movie(which would mean she would be in the cast with a "From Ant-Man") or in Ant-Man 2.
Would you want Zeta-Jones as Wasp in a prequel?
Edit: Tatum is the kindest actor.

I'm thinking given Falcon's appearance in Ant-Man, and Widow's well-received Deuteragonist role in The Winter Soldier, that even if Hope Wasp doesn't have a solo movie of her own (even though she should) she might show up in others' films as a major character nonetheless.

I... don't know what adventures The Wasp could have that make her deserve a film, other than established, female representation at last.
Like seriously, out of everyone, The Wasp. The woman with the ability to grow smaller and shoot annoying darts at people? Ant Man is a heist film (so I've heard), I'll give them that one. I used to hate Ant Man (wasn't bothered they gave Stark into his role either), but I like the idea.
How about Storm, or Elektra, or Maria Hill, or... or somebody else. Jane Foster. Jane Foster deserves her own film. Or She-Hulk.
I'm not generally a fan of romance. That said, I didn't expect for Natasha and Bruce to have any, and it once again confirmed that Bruce Banner is not Stark's bro, Bruce Banner does not control the Hulk, and Bruce Banner is a very tragic hero.
So I liked it.
I'd like it more if Black Widow actually had a way to pressure point the Hulk instead of just calming him down. That's what it looked like the first time she did the lullaby. was my kneejerk reaction because of how long they dwelt on it, and the way she had to gently rest her hand on his arm. Some kind of superhuman, comic booky pressure point.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Well, she IS Thor after all.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.The Wasp actually deserves a movie over Scott Lang because she's one of the people who actually founded the Avengers alongside Hank Pym. That alone means she deserves priority in making a solo film, or at least a duo with Hank if not for Wright, and she tends to be more liked than her husband anyway.
As for her lack of a rogues' gallery, all they need is one person who went against Hank to be enough. Hell they could make up 75% of it. It's not like the Iron Man films and even Scott Ant-Man didn't already play fast and loose with adapting comic villains.
I don't think it really matters. None of the movies faithfully adapt comic book stories.
Or hell, give her She-Hulk as a co-star
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI just remembered someone in this thread wanted to be updated once more than just 1 of the main Marvel Avengers/team books were announced(All-New All-Different Avengers is the one from before)so that they could see what characters Marvel are focusing on in the future.
