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.

Love the movement of the cape.

Back to the homecoming title...aren't Cap and/or Iron Man part of that story?

[up][up]That was never confirmed. There was discussion in the Sony leaks about them wanting Captain America and Iron Man to possibly show up should the deal go through, and then there was a rumor that the new Spider-Man movie would have a major subplot about Iron Man fighting Peter and trying to see if he is good enough to join the Avengers.

The synopsis was more or less debunked.

[up] I meant the original story with the same title.

Briefly. It's when the heroes get back to Earth from Secret Wars. The sites who keep reporting on that aspect neglect to mention that the Avengers appearances were cameos, or that the set-up required for the issue couldn't possibly exist in the MCU.

Yeah, some of the sites either never read the comic or are intentionally being being really misleading for hits.

One website noted that Hawkeye and the Wasp are in the story and said this might be an indication Jeremy Renner and Evangeline Lilly are joining the cast, without mentioning that they only appear briefly near the beginning when the heroes get back from Battleworld.

[up] On the subject in general, I would actually be surprised if there wasn't at least a cameo from some established MCU character in the Spider-Man movie.

Hard to predict who it's going to be until we see the outcome of Civil War of course.

I know it's impossible due to him being in different company, but I would die of joy if Deadpool appears in the new Spiderman movie. evil grin

Right... "accidentally". tongue

Still, mad respect for the folks who do fight choreography that looks good without hurting people (too much).

Just had a thought: Selwig mentions a scientist who experimented with gamma radiation in Thor. Does he personally know Bruce Banner? I don't recall them ever meeting in either Avengers film.

I think it was confirmed by Word of God that the scientist he knew of who disappeared was Bruce, and that the other scientist he knew who "had dealings with SHIELD before" was Hank Pym.

[up][up] Did he know him personally, or was he just familiar with his work?

I heard the reference to Pym was only a deleted scene.

That was posted earlier but those are much better quality photos.

It is indeed a very impressive make-up effect.

It will supplement the other special effects quite nicely.

I wonder how long it takes to do this one.

But I am now sure that ever that in its core, this will be a horror movie.

Someone joked that if they aren't human bodies possessed by demons they're probably Mindless Ones due to the eye focus.

Edit: Everyone has to see this reimagining of Strange's origin at least once.
