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.

Is Hemsworth that tall or is the director (at least, that's who I'm assuming he is) that short?

It was just someone asking the same question several times.

Hey, Happy Hogan is returning to the MCU with Spider-Man: Homecoming! I mean, we already knew Tony Stark was going to appear, but this is neat, too.

So they removed the Asgardian plating for something less royal looking and more traditionally gladiator-like.

I want them to slyly drop info that Happy and Pepper are dating, with Tony's response.

Hemsworth is over 6+ feet tall.

It's just one of those things that happens when a dude who is a bit taller than average stands next to a guy a bit shorter than average (I speak with considerable experience of the latter.) I reckon there'd be a fair few similar pictures of Hemsworth alongside RDJ behind the scenes of the Avengers movies.

Oh god, I really want to see a fan edit where they do the entire movie that way. With that filter.

Are we posting silly Ant-Man edits right now?

the funny thing about that kamen rider edit is

a) ant-man does look HELLA kamen rider

2) it actually looks like a legit kamen rider show too

The Kamen Rider thread (of which I myself am a regular) was saying the same thing around the time the movie came out, so we're pretty ahead of you guys on that front.

Funny. I remember a joke fan edit that portrayed and compared Ant Man to Kamen Rider, but I didn't know there was a full on commercial in Japan comparing the two.

5 Marvel Cinematic Sub-Universes ComicBook.com wants after The Defenders

Oddly enough, the X-Men are in the list. Really, no one else thinks something's up when one of the filmmakers for Doctor Strange mentioned "Marvel Cinematic Multiverse" plus we've been getting radio silence regarding almost every new X-Men related stuff?

The guy who was suppose to direct the Gambit movie left to be at the DCEU and we haven't heard squat about that last Wolverine movie that's supposed to come next year or so. All we've gotten is some new show called Legion and more radio silence regarding the New Mutants movie.

Why are you using spoiler tags?

And no, I think people read way too much into the "Multiverse" thing. Doctor Strange traverses dimensions all the time in the comics.

And I'm not sure what radio silence you're referring to.

I dunno, has anyone heard anything regarding any new X-Men cinematic universe material?

The Wolverine movie was filming last I heard. In fact, I think it was finished filming — certainly Patrick Stewart said that he was done.

And they are currently writing and casting for Deadpool 2.

What? Are you guys thinking that Xmen Apocalypse did the same to the Film/Xmen franchise that The Amazing Spider Man did to Spiderman?

I mean, Whatever flaws it had, Apocalypse wasn't even half as bad as Amazing 2.

[up][up][up]Last week when they announced a writer for New Mutants and then a little before that when the writers of Deadpool were discussing the sequel's premise? And then prior to that Fox ordering another X-Men show.

[up]It underperformed, but the franchise had the fortune of the More Popular Spin-Off that proved to be a smash hit. Unlike the Amazing Spider-Man situation where the planned Spidey Cinematic Universe stalled right out of the gate.
