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.

As much as I'm turned off by the idea of the Eye of Agamotto being an Infinity Stone, there are flags here and there that hint that it probably will be. As for BP, I doubt an Infinity Stone will be in the film, let alone take precedence over Wakanda's vibranium mound as a potential MacGuffin. The last stone will probably be in Guardians 2 (Adam Warlock and the Soul Stone are kind of a staple pairing in the Marvel mythos).

Some updates on the other movies
.
Feige seems to suggest Thanos won't be in Guardians 2, and that the next time he appears he's actually going to do something other than sit in a chair.
And on Thor 3:
And he confirms what everyone has been hoping for.
JANE AND DARCY ARE GOIN' TO SPACE
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.It's been described as a buddy movie and he puts a lot of emphasis on it featuring new characters and feeling different from the past two Thor movies. I'm thinking Jane and her buddies are either being Put on a Bus or Demoted to Extra.

In a surprise twist, Darcy becomes the female Thor!

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Chiwetel Ejiofor talks a bit about Mordo
.
He sounds more like an ally than an enemy in that case, and it could be that Marvel will take a slow burn approach to turning Mordo into one of Strange's most fearsome foes. We likely won't find that out until next November, but when the actor was asked specifically if he's a hero or villain, Ejiofor responded: "Oh, he’s a very complex character that, really, I don’t think can be nailed down either way, you know. I guess it’s something to experience, is what I’d say..."
If Jane and Darcy aren't in the new Thor I will be so miffed.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.You don't need to kill Jane and Darcy to get rid of them. Just put them on a bus. The only reason Jane ended up in Asgard last time was because of a rather stupid contrivance.
Thor shows up on Earth. Says Vagueness Is Coming and he must embark on a grand cosmic odyssey to save the Nine Realms. Jane gives him a kiss and Selvig tells him they'll be rooting for him. Thor teleports off into space to save the day.
Boom.
We don't need to show Jane and her friends anymore for the rest of the movie.

I don't know. On one hand I wouldn't mind Jane and co. being absent, but at the same time I found it extremely annoying how both Avengers movies handwave none of the characters' significant others being present (because they are offscreen doing something awesome, we promise!)

Thor tells Jane what is happening over the phone. She gives an inaudible reply, presumably telling him she loves him.
Thor says he loves her too and then hangs up.
Then he goes off into space to do stuff.

It's not that I don't like Natalie Portman as an actor.
Or the Jane Foster character.
Or even the Jane/Thor romance.
I'm just sick of Thor being on Earth.
My various fanfics.

Feige also had this to say in Empire.
I'm now wondering if Strange and Panther will introduce the final two Infinity Stones?
