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.

I guess we'll have to see how she's portrayed. Aside from being a genius armor builder, she's not very like Tony in the comics.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThe funny thing is by the time Riri became Ironheart Tony was dead for a while so they completely missed out on setting any sort of mentorship between the 2.
Admitably it is funny to be saying you'll be doing things your own way despite your overall power-set directly based off someone else's.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."And like, wasn't there an issue before Tony died where he actually met her and saw her armour, and was like, holy shit kid! You just built a suit as good as my current one with the kind of resources I had when I built my first suit or something like that?
Like, I'm positive he saw her once and was impressed enough with her.
Then he died, and she kinda did her own thing, but still.
One Strip! One Strip!I think the only shortcoming she had was that modern day advanced armor couldn’t be effectively piloted without an AI and she couldn’t build one of those with a box of scraps, which is why Tony sent his brainscan AI to her when he died
Although after Tony resurrected himself with science, Riri did make her own AI
Forever liveblogging the AvengersNeither does comics Spidey, but that didn't stop them from making the character's identity all about Tony in the films.
The MCU is very Tony centric because Tony was the lynchpin of their business model, and on top of that it's also very legacy centered right now.
Given the other stories they've put out recently, it would be fairly typical for them to interpret "the character is taking up this former character's mantle" as "the character's character arc has to be about taking the former character's place, but realizing they're their own person." It's how they handled Peter, how they handled Sam, what they seem to be setting up with Kate, etc. I'm willing to bet it's what they're going to do with Shuri too.

Yeah, like it or hate it, Tony is essential to the MCU's progression ever since the first Iron Man, and so a lot of people are going to take any kind of continuation of his legacy very seriously.
In fact, I'm willing to bet there's going to be a ton of Iron Man dudebro stans who'll start complaining about how Riri isn't fit to take up the mantle of Iron Man online once they start promoting Wakanda Forever.
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."What does Riri have to do with Black Panther 2?
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Kevin feige has said that if Daredevil returns he will be played by Charlie Cox
. Playing coy about his supposed upcoming appearance?

This is definitely a win, and the right call to make Considering how acclaimed Cox's performance was in the show, I feel that Feige would have to keep him in the role, like they did with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
I remember reading a report once that had Feige saying something among the lines of "don't underestimate the fans of the Netflix TV shows", meaning he's definitely watched Daredevil and likely understands what made the show so popular. So being able to build off that, even if they won't be able to go as bloody or crude as that show, would definitely be a plus.
Also, with Jarvis's cameo in Endgame and Kingpin rumors in Hawkeye, Feige could definitely be leaning into that kind of support.

"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Like, pretty much the only person who I believe isn't coming back is Finn Jones as Iron Fist.
Like, we probably won't be seeing Iron Fist for a long time. Shang Chi is doing his thing, and better. The fact he's actually asian helps too.
One Strip! One Strip!I would not be surprised if while the netflix actors reprise their roles, the shows themselves are only canon in a Broad Strokes fashion.
You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid

Looks like Harry Holland's scene in No Way Home got cut
.
In fairness, I'm not entirely sure where a scene where Peter meets a drug dealer would've fit in something like this.
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."
