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.

Kevin Feige and Tom Holland are both saying MCU Spidey is done.

Their comments are just PR tricks that they only said just to get people off their backs. Talks between Disney and Sony are getting better from what they were earlier.

This will clear up in a few months.

Here is part of the trailer for What If? The animation looks outstanding. I hope they release the entire thing online.

Who's Vanguard?
The character is actually Red Guardian, since his name has been confirmed as "Alexi." In the comics, he was Black Widow's former husband who had his death faked and then became the Russian Captain America.

RE: WandaVision poster: Well this is unexpected. I'm wondering if there'll be Canned Laughter and someone comments about that.

(If you look at Wanda's shadow, you can see what looks like her comic book counterpart's crown.)

WandaVision looks insane and is definitely the Disney+ show coming out in the next two years that I'm looking forward to the most.

Yeah, you know what? I'm actually getting more interested in Wanda Vision. The cast and crew seem really promising. I guess they'll be the ones to make me finally give a hoot about this pairing. :^)

[up]x2: Like it's supposed to mirror 1950s television shows, or that it is a television show? The latter is true, though it would be hilarious if this scenario does have the occasional laugh track as Targetmaster suggested.

Nothing leaked about the show really talks about the former, just the possibility of Agatha Harkness appearing and the neighbors being prejudice against Wanda and The Vision's relationship. Not to mention "dark forces" involved.

[up][up]Like the title Wandavision sounds like the word television. I'm really looking forward to Wandavision, too, it seems like it's going to have some weird psychological element to it, and that sounds bizarre and cool.

Tom King’s Vision comic is one of the best ever.

An existential thriller as Vision tries to have a family & a normal suburban life until it all comes crumbling down like a house of cards.

Okay, here's a bigger version of the poster. And the full frame.

Notice their shadows and how they appear to be the real versions of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch (including her iconic headgear)? Amazing.
