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.

For Kingpin in Hawkeye (2021), his actor Vincent D'Onofrio posted a poem about Lucky the Wonder Dog but otherwise hasn't confirmed that he's in the show. It's either to keep a major spoiler away from the public or he's just playing with fans' expectations. Keep in mind, Avengers: Infinity War almost included cameos from the Defenders but were cut due to The Russo Brothers not being able to contact the showrunners of the Netflix shows and the film having too many characters. If the rumors of Kingpin in Hawkeye and Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home are actually true, it will be a Soft Reboot of sorts for the Netflix shows featuring the same actors but in a new story/setting with maybe a few Continuity Nods. Daredevil would be the first MCU Netflix show to be revived on possibly Hulu since it was the first and they might reuse some ideas from Season 4 such as the return of Typhoid Mary or the Owl as the Big Bad but with the timeframe potentially moved to the post-Blip period.

Alas that just seems to be the nature of social media and Twitter these days.
A Youtube creator I follow was in a similar situation in which he got accused of some seriously heinous stuff a few months ago, except it turns out most of it was likely faked or severely exaggerated. Most of the internet is firmly convinced of it being bullshit and found alibis against it, and eventually several of the original perpetrators even admitted it was in part a hit job and they were told to spread it by another source (allegedly but largely agreed to have been a Psycho Ex, and apparently someone who was quite infamous in the community to begin with). Yet a lot of people including some high-profile figures continue to swear up and down that they have hard proof and detailed accounts of his misdeeds, despite never actually showing anything for it when asked (sometimes with the excuse that showing any of it would put the supposed victims in danger). Which results in his name remaining a divisive one in some communities, particularly those with a high amount of people who I'd describe as performatively woke.
Expect a lot more of that kind of thing to happen in the future.

I'm hoping since continuous movies are a sure thing now, it be cool to finally having overarching and bigger bad villains that appear in multiple movies. We've only had Thanos for that and he barely appeared overall.
Like a trilogy that features the shifting in the criminal underworld similar to Spectacular Spider-Man where Tombstone was top crime boss, a crime war happened featuring other guys like Ock and Silvermane all vying for top spot, and ending with a Goblin having manipulated and last-manned his way to supremacy.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."A gang war would be a great way to team up Daredevil with Spiderman, and maybe bring in Luke Cage and Jessica Jones as well.
One Strip! One Strip!It doesn't even have to be trolling. It can simply be the actor wanting to be back in the role and trying to drum up publicity by doing this. Or, conversely, it can simply be about the actor trying not to burn bridges by explicitly denying it.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."For the record, D'Onofrio has openly said he loved the role and would love to reprise it, and has been very active on social media encouraging fan enthusiasm and support.
Pretty much everything surrounding the potential reprisals of him as Kingpin and Cox as Daredevil is unsubstantiated beyond the fact that the MCU "leaker" "community" has backed those claims in solidarity. So yeah, heaps of salt, I personally actually buy all of it but I also get I'm basically gambling and will roll with whatever ultimately happens.

What Villeneuve said vs what the clickbait headlines said.
I mean that does happen with him a lot in the comics
Took forever to learn how he escaped the cancerverse and when we did get an explanation it was incredibly poor
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

I'm pretty sure that's an unfounded rumor. Even though it admittedly has some roots, given that in the comics, Fisk killed Maya's parents and raised her as his own.
Okey Dokey!
