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.

Mmm...the new synopsis for Got G Vol 2 mentions "traversing the outer reaches of the cosmos"...this actually sounds a little bit like it might end being a space western...this sounds like the introduction line for the original Star Trek, doesn't it? Or it could be a classic explorer story....
Anyway, sounds exciting. I wonder who the fan favourite characters from the comics might be....
Well in gog we only got a glimpse of one section of a very large cosmos. They didn't really leave the Andromeda Galaxy.
There's Andromeda M31 (Skrulls), dwarf galaxy (?) Milky Way (us), Pinwheel Galaxy (Shi'ar) , LMC (Kree), Black Galaxy (Ego), Fornax Galaxy (Sakaar) etc in the comics. Even within these places there are other races and planets.
I'm pretty sure Quill's dad lives outside the general Nova portrayal area, which can be way further than Knowhere.

Filmography, or do you mean cinematography? Because if it's the latter, I think he's actually pretty damn good at it. It's just his writing is awful.
This photoshop made me laugh.

Nope. Like Mantis very few people seemed to guess it.
The most recent rumors were Mads was playing Nightmare or a Race Lifted Kaluu.

Interesting. The set shots made it look like Strange and Mordo were still on the same side during the end, and they mentioned Mordo would be a more morally ambiguous character than in the comics, so it's possible what happens is that Kaecilius takes things too far, and Even Evil/Whatever He Is Has Standards so Mordo joins Strange in stopping him.
I think they sidestepped it by having it so while Claire Temple's role is similar to the Night Nurse, she can't actually use the name itself. Whereas the one in Dr. Strange is the Night Nurse, even if her role in the films may emerge to be something different.
Hopefully we don't get a cheesy Romantic Plot Tumor with her in this movie. Especially if the movies plan on bringing in Clea down the line.
Selenis Leyva
from Orange Is the New Black is playing one of Peter's teachers.

He said what also contributed to its demise was the backlash from execs against female superhero movies after the one-two punch of Catwoman and Elektra.
