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.

That's gonna make people pretty happy.

And not just the people who are determined to hate Clint as much as possible either.

Fall 2021 - Hawkeye

According to Renner, of course, "In the series he’ll be teaching someone else without superpowers how to be a superhero."

Hawkeye logo. Pretty much identical to Fraction's Hawkeye logo, which is a good sign.

Wow, I was sure we'd be seeing Guardians of the Galaxy 3 before Thor 4.

According to Tessa Thompson, "As new King - she needs to find her Queen." GOD YES.

Also sounds like Valkyrie MAY have a female love interest?

This is probably going to end with a teaser for Black Widow.

Some people are spreading around fake images of "Asgardians of the Galaxy Vol 3" and "Black Widow". Not sure what the point is, since both of those are sure to be announced.

Natalie Portman is back as the new Thor!

Holy shit, Natalie Portman is playing Jane Thor!

Wait, that's it's called "Love and Thunder" - because Thor is seeing his ex-girlfriend again! And she's going to have THUNDER IN HER VEINS!

So, is she taking Stormbreaker, or is Mjolnir coming back somehow?

I never thought they could do it, since Natalie Portman disliked doing The Dark World and also Mjolnir was destroyed. But they got around both of those before.
