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.

Yeah Miles was very independent at the start of his career. He was more alone & had to do everything by himself with his only ally being Ganke who was just there for moral support.
This is very different from MCU Peter basically having the backing of Tony Stark and the Avengers.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I thought Ultimate Peter was a couple years older than Miles
Because Miles gets a time skip of a year or so after his mom dies that gets him closer to the age Peter started at
Forever liveblogging the AvengersOk, I will concede that there is less in common between the two then I thought there was. I've only read the first arc and a half of Bendis' initial run and a few years ago at that. Sorry for misrembering.
I think canonically he was around 28, or at least he was soon after Spider-Men (I remember that being the age given in Superior in some issue or another).
Letitia Wright spoke
a little about Black Panther 2.
TL;DR: It still hurts not having Chadwick around, so BP2 is the LAST thing they're thinking about.
Stupid cancer...
That’s according to writer Derek Kolstad, who spoke on the latest episode of the Script Apart podcast about his original screenplay for John Wick. There, he teased a little of what’s in store in Falcon And The Winter Soldier – including the fact that some familiar faces from long ago in the MCU will make appearances. “What I will say is that there are characters from the earliest Marvel movies that are coming back,” Kolstad said. “We’re layering them in and reinventing them in a way that’s gonna shift the storytelling structure. It’s fucking awesome." While it’s known that Daniel Brühl’s Zemo is returning – as is The Winter Soldier’s Batroc – could that mention of the “earliest Marvel movies” mean we’ll see some Phase 1 characters return too? Stay tuned to find out.

I wonder what the plans are for Zemo. The original comic character was essentially the prototype for every Saturday morning cartoon villain with a private army (most notably Cobra Commander) but he did everything in Civil War alone. With Agents of SHIELD non-canon now and forever, I wonder if he will get his own private army.
Agents of Shield isn’t non canon...yet.
Yeah, know it probably is due to circumstances beyond their control, but honestly, only the last two seasons could really be called non canon due to ignoring the snap.
One Strip! One Strip!I figure it would have to be rendered non-canon given its viewership levels and the disconnect.
So, do you think we'll get a Truer to the Text Zemo?
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. starting with Season 6 at least no longer fits the timeline. Before that, it ran parallel just fine, but outright ignoring the Snap isn't something that can be glossed over.

Certified: 48.0% West Asian, 6.5% South Asian, 15.8% North/West European, 15.7% English, 7.4% Balkan, 6.6% ScandinavianSpeaking of Zemo - or more specifically the Thunderbolts - I wonder if we're ever going to get Justine Hammer or Sasha Hammer in the MCU. Iron Man 2 kind of kiboshed the idea of Justin and HammerTech as threats, but his daughter and granddaughter have so little to do with him conceptually (they're basically completely separate character groups that share a surname at this point) that I'd love to see them regardless, even if they're retconned into not being related to him.
Agents of SHIELD has always been very close to throwing out the rest of the universe anyway, it's just that the last season made it more explicit. I still remember how they insisted the heroes completely wiped out HYDRA, only to have to retcon it into only part of HYDRA when HYDRA reappeared in Ant-Man, then to do the same plot again and insist that HYDRA is totes completely destroyed guys.
Or their whole "Inhumans are being made all throughout the world, people with powers are everywhere!" bit, which the movies completely ignored (granted, that I think is something they should have made explicit, since imo for too long the MCU was way smaller and had far less worldbuilding than it should have).

EDIT:on similarities/differences between Peter Parker's portrayal in the MCU and Miles' characterization in the mainline comics
