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.

I wonder if the reason the MCU is designated Earth-199999 by Marvel(main comic world is 616 and the Ultimate universe they killed off due to massive mismanagement among other things was 1610) is because they want to do a invasion or something from Earth-200000(which has never been used) later.

Blade and Daughter is exactly the kind of content I want added to the MCU. It would probably work best as a Netflix series, but if Snipes is still possibly attached, that might suggest a film franchise. It's not obvious how much Snipes costs after prison.
I'm happily anticipating the day that MCU hasn't got much live action stuff going on anymore, and it primarily exists in the comics medium, because then we can have crazy stuff like a 616 crossover.
Because the MCU has a lot of fans. And historically, popular superhero TV shows tend to continue as comics after their live action platform ends, because comics are a lot cheaper to make than live action media, so if your audience can no longer support films and TV they will be able to support a comics line for a while.
Smallville is probably the best example.
Even if it doesn't get a comics era, if the MCU goes dead I still anticipate a 616 crossover over comics series, because it's a great way to retain fans and introduce them to the 616.
He pretty much has to. Iron Fist's supporting character gallery in New York is really tiny if you don't pull on characters from Jessica Jones or Luke Cage.
I really hope Misty Knight shows up from Luke Cage so we can get something like this

So I just had a thought: what if they make a sequel to Doctor Strange, and it has Mephisto as the villain? Then they could bring in Ghost Rider (either Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch, whichever one they wanna use) as someone who has their own personal reasons for going after Mephisto, and he teams up with Strange so that they can both stop him.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

@Bleakness in 616 and Earth-0: I'd actually say both worlds are the happiest they've been in a decade. Sure mutants are still hunted and the inhumans are now as hated as them, superheroes still fight each other and we're getting close to a new Civil War of all things, Black Cat is the worst evil mob boss ever and Thanos looks to be showing up on Earth once every year etc but at least most of the books are happy. Sure Bruce has to go back to being Batman, the Joker is coming back after a while gone, Darkseid showed up on Earth, Gotham is still probably the worst city in the US to live in if you're wealthy etc but most of the books are happy or hopeful. Books like Gotham Academy, Ms. Marvel, Starfire and more shows that the world can be a happy place.
@Blade: Around the time Snipes went to Marvel and told them he'd be up for more Blade movies(R or PG)Marvel announced a new Blade book with Blade's never before seen daughter taking up the name and having Buffy-esque adventures(the book is still not out).
