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.

Black Panther 2's continued production delay is potentially due to Letitia Wright being unvaccinated and in London - new CDC guidelines prohibit unvaccinated non-US citizens from entry. (Note: BP2's production was previously put on halt due to Wright suffering stunt-related injuries.)

GAHHHHH why won't this movie just be a smooth production? I almost want them to just recast both T'Challa and Shuri just so they can get the ball rolling again. (Really awful of me to say, but man this movie has squeezed so much stress into me as it is that it hurts too much.)

Ms. Marvel has been delayed to Q4 2022, which puts it between July and September.

Huh. Maybe they read about the internet bellyaching about the (evident) change-up to Kamala's powers? Or maybe just COVID causing reshoots to get tricky?

Man, what did we do to have this pandemic? It's a forking nightmare.

> Ms. Marvel being delayed to late summer 2022

Man, that really sucks. I was looking forward to it a lot.

On another note, NWH is coming out in spring 2022 or something right?

I think the Ms. Marvel thing is just down to Disney juggling their schedule. They finished filming in May, so if it comes out in July of next year, that's really not too crazy as far as turn-around is concerned.

Production companies for tv and film are now tightening vaccine mandates for everyone who works there. So that will probably cause quite a delay....

The nature of Kamala's powers probably also mean that her show needs a bit more post-production than the ones that have come out so far.

The far more likely reason is to get the show closer to The Marvels, which now releases Feb. 23 2023. However given the nature of her powers (revised or otherwise) I could see devoting the extra time to SFX/CGI would be worth it.

So wait, does No Way Home drop right in the middle of Hawkeye's gradual episode release? Just like Shang-Chi did around the same time What If was releasing episodes?

[up] It is, though Hawkeye is releasing its first two episodes at once, which means NWH comes out between episodes 5 and 6.

There's gonna be a six month gap from No Way Home to Multiverse of Madness.

Hopefully that's long enough for me to develop some theories on how the latter movie could show some animosity between Mordo and Wong, to play off the fact that it was actually Chiwetel Ejiofor himself who found Benedict Wong and suggested he try out for the role of Wong.

Okey Dokey!

I'll be honest, WandaVision really kept me going during my second semester of my otherwise exhausting sophomore college year. I was super excited for it when I saw trailers for it, and the overall mystery progression of what we got each Friday invested me in it so much. It's not perfect, but that show really came around the right time for me.

I also ended up showing WandaVision to some of my family members who don't really follow the MCU at large, and I was genuinely surprised that they actually loved it and were invested in it the whole time. I mostly wanted to show them the first three episodes just because I thought they'd find them funny, and expected them to drop off afterwards.

On lighter updates, Disney+ has a new "Spider-Verse" selection in their Marvel section. It seems to be a hub for anything that had Spidey in it, even if he's not the main character.

Spider-Man is still Marvel's biggest seller, after all.

Putting all of the Spidey stuff together regardless of continuity seems like a perfectly fine category, but including ensemble pieces he's a more minor player in (e.g. Infinity War) feels a bit weird.

[up]Spectacular Spider-Man on Disney Plus when?

EDIT: Jokes aside, maybe give it 2-3 years from now until ITSV comes on D+? Maybe 1 and a half years?

Considering the deal they made earlier this year, I wouldn't be surprised if today at D+Day they announce the date when Sony movies will be added.

[up][up] Okay, time for some unpacking:

  • RE: X-Man '97: HOOOOLLLLY BALLS, IT'S REAL! They're actually doing it! surprisedsurprisedsurprised
  • RE: Marvel Studios' Spider-Man Freshman Year: HOLY PETER TINGLE! A new animated Spider-Man series from Marvel Studios?! I'll bet this wouldn't have been possible if Sony and Marvel didn't kiss and make up in 2019.

And both have the Marvel Studios name? Not sure if this has large implications for X-Man '97 and the MCU. (probably not, but extremely ecstatic)

  • And Marvel Zombies?! Watch it be a continuation to the zombies episode in What If...?

[up] Agh, I'm not ready!
