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.

Avengers 4: The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe.
They can release it at the same time as X-Men: Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe.
I just hope it's an actual Spoiler Title and not "We totes think this is a spoiler even though everyone already knows it and there's basically no reason not to call it that Title".
Like, if they hype up how secret it is and then it just turns out to be something like, "Avengers: Thanos Arrives", it's going to be pretty disappointing.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I assume the subtitle is going to be a spoiler for Infinity War. It's not like they're going to be keeping it a secret past release date.
My money's on "Something something Adam Warlock".

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.It also depends on what they consider a spoiler. Depending on their temperament, they could even consider calling it Avengers: The Infinity Gauntlet a spoiler because it would spoils the fact that Thanos gets all the gems.

One of the 5 post credit scenes in Got G Vol.2 kind of confirms a popular fan theory about Stan Lee in the movies.
So, here are some actual things it could be:
- Avengers: Acts of Vengeance (fits the previous title structure set by "Age of Ultron" and would indicate that it involves a large number of supervillains, rather than one big one)
- Avengers: Secret Invasion (indicates that shapeshifters or something similar have invaded Earth)
- Avengers: Dark Reign (indicates someone evil has taken over the US/the world)
- Avengers: The Crossing (indicates that the movie is going to be super awful and will almost immediately be retconned)
Wouldn't Winter Soldier already cover about the same ground as Dark Reign? And we can't use Daken, Norman Osborn, or Venom. Honestly, the Sentry's a whole can of worms that'd probably feed the whole fandom war between the DCEU and MCU in a way I'd just as soon avoid. And Secret Invasion would require Skrulls, which they also can't use.
And while this would in no way stop them from doing it, AOS's LMD arc was probably enough of a Secret Invasion adaptation for me.
Ignoring the Sony deal for Spider-Man rights, we could probably use Norman as long as we never mention the Green Goblin. Green Goblin Norman is a Spider-Man villain but Iron Patriot Norman is an Avengers villain.
Legally, I'm certain there'd be no problems with Norman Osborn as an Evil Counterpart to Tony Stark, assembling his own Dark Avengers and/or Thunderbolts with his own cutting-edge weapons technology.

Luke Cage Season 2 starts shooting in June
. Not sure if mentioned before but Punisher isn't gonna have an appearance from Claire.
Apparently the name for Avengers 4
is a Spoiler Title, hence why they haven't announced it yet.
