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.

That place has little to do with either Iron Fist or Shang-Chi directly, though it makes sense for this movie if they're going with a more mystical tone.
No real rule though, some threads on here have been around since the film was first announced (ie no director or cast attached) or when the trailer comes out. I figured it was almost time anyway.

Marvel’s Eternals Actor Barry Keoghan Assaulted in Galway
.
Independent Ireland is reporting that actor Barry Keoghan required hospital treatment after he was the victim of an assault in Galway.
Keoghan is one of the stars of the upcoming Marvel film Eternals and the DC film The Batman. He was reportedly found with serious facial injuries outside the city’s G Hotel last weekend. After being found, he was rushed by ambulance to Galway University Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries, including cuts to his face, and subsequently released.
According to some of the locals asked about the incident, “[Keoghan] was spotted around town a bit. He said he was down to see a few people he had become friends with when he was abroad. It was known he was staying up in the G Hotel, which is one of the poshest hotels in the city. But no one heard anything about any assault or anything and it was obviously kept very quiet.”
While there is surely a chance that this was just an assault done with no knowledge of who Keoghan is, I will just say that his face is fairly recognizable and he is considered one of Ireland’s biggest rising stars. He was just in The Green Knight and is going to be in two Blockbuster films within the next year, both of which are from really popular IP (well, Marvel itself, not the Eternals).
It is also noted in the article that this attack follows one against Irish Olympian Jack Woolley, a taekwondo fighter, who was hospitalized after he was beaten up in Dublin city centre. He also required medical attention for his injuries.
For Keoghan, it is good news that the injuries were not serious, but it is still haunting that he was just trying to visit friends and ended up in this situation, especially with touring coming up fairly soon. I hope he will be able to rest and take time off to deal with the aftercare mentally and emotionally from what happened.
Regarding No Way Home, if Daredevil does actually make a cameo appearance as Spider-Man's lawyer, then it will reserve as a reintroduction/continuation of the MCU Defenders shows for the Multiverse Saga and he's rumoured to show up in Hawkeye alongside Kingpin, since Echo is in that show. And the leaked trailer does show us a man with red-tinted glasses and a business suit that matches up with Matt/DD's physical description.

I think it's going to be the former. The Defenders (2017) iterations of the characters are far too popular to recast and Dardevil's appearance will be a cameo with no reference to the prior series but not exactly Canon Discontinuity since it has the same actor (Charlie Cox).

I noted a while back
that there might be some complications if this is true.
The Netflix MCU shows will be the first non-Marvel Studios properties to be reintroduced. Then after it, there's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a few other potential candidates (i.e. the Hulu shows).
I can't imagine why they would delay a trailer because it got leaked. Doing so would be spiteful and not much else.
Trailer leaks if anything tend to compel an earlier release, since it allows people who were avoiding the leak out of respect for the filmmakers to see the trailer and participate in the discussion. That's exactly what happened with AoU's first trailer.
