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 was wondering if they might show a clip from it in the stinger for Black Panther.
Like, Wakanda's being invaded, so T'Challa decides to defrost Bucky to give them some extra manpower, or something like that.
Oh God! Natural light!I'd prefer if all of their new characters/series had tingers that build their own mythoses, like Homecoming's was.
But still... an after credits scene where everything seems well in Wakanda, and then T'Challa looks up and there are alien ships falling from the stars... that's awesome.
I just realized that the "aliens invade Wakanda" thing is probably inspired by the Ultimate universe.
Black Panther banner from D23
◊.
It was also a thing in Infinity, which the movie seems to be drawing from. Right down to the presence of the Black Order
◊.
I would like it if Bucky was alluded to or factored into the plot as a faceless Living MacGuffin (e.g. Killmonger leaks news of his presence to rally the xenophobic factions) rather than having an onscreen appearance walking around chatting with people. A postcredits scene is highly likely though as Black Panther is the last film before Infinity War and D23 reports say that T'Challa and Bucky are fighting side-by-side.
The question is did they get the trigger words out of Bucky's head beforehand? Because it seems like IW is going to be complicated enough without "shit, the Asset is back in play, and he just killed half his team". But it also seems too involved to show them removing the triggers, and this really deserves better than the way they handled Pepper and Extremis in IM 3.
Personally, I was reminded of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, where once the team learned about the Skrulls' infiltration of Earth, T'Challa left the Avengers to prepare Wakanda for the coming invasion, which later led to an great episode solely devoted to Wakandan forces fending off Skrull impostors with Carol Danvers caught in the middle.
Then, in an episode after that storyline was concluded, Hawkeye spent the entire episode whining about how T'Challa "abandoned" the team to do what a nation's leader is supposed to do in the first damn place. Because EMH Hawkeye is an asshole.
I'm only a little sad that the MCU is so grounded that you can't have random eccentric SHIELD agents wearing elaborate superhero costumes as part of their everyday jobs, like in EMH and the comics. It's the first thing I always think of when I think of EMH's Hawkeye.
Like, if Bobbi Morse was exactly the same in Agents of SHIELD, except she was wearing this

Would undo quite a bit of the message too. You create a movie with a black director, black actors and actresses, set in Africa - putting some random white secondary character in it as an important plot piece should be the least of your worries (and if he is not important, ignoring him should not be an issue).
The Other Ross is still in the movie and he's white. So Hollywood can still find a way to fuck it up.
We'll be getting an Infinity War teaser "very soon."
Maybe something to coincide with Comic-Con?
