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.

"Also 'she not Black Cat attractive,' what is that supposed to mean?"
Black Cat is distractingly sexy, knows it, and uses it to her advantage. Hathaway, while very attractive, is not that. Your mileage will probably vary here, but that's my opinion anyway (I could see Margot Robbie as Black Cat, for instance). Possibly she could play such a character (she's a good actress, after all) but thus far at least she hasn't had a role where she's demonstrated that. She just doesn't seem like the right type for Black Cat. It'd be like getting Timothee Chalomet to play Superman or, I dunno, Dane Cook to play Batman.
I know there were mutterings a few years ago about a Black Cat/Silver Sable film; I wonder if that's still in the works?

The big reason I'm not sure Hathaway is playing Black Cat is because I don't think they'll be casting for the next Spider-Man flick this soon.
Thinking of the movies that are coming up, and I'm going go hail mary and wonder if they're looking for characters for Ant-Man or Guardians.
Or maybe she's playing Moonstone in The Marvels, provided that's not Zawe Ashton's role.
Madam Masque would likely be the big bad of a Young Avengers film right?
But I could see her debuting in Armour Wars given her ties to Tony Stark in the comics.
Edit: I also asked myself if there is anyone who could be cast for House of Harkness, and all I can think of, is Satana? Seems unlikely.

Masque has been more of a down to earth Hawkeye villain (which is why I expected her to be in the series, but she wasn’t), while the Young Avengers often go up against cosmic threats like Kang and interdimensional parasites. But if the plan for the YA seems to be them versus the Thunderbolts, then it may be a fairly grounded affair.

I guess we're ignoring they already did Madame Masque on Agent Carter, except not really...
If we were going to do Black Cat, maybe we should try someone around Tom Holland’s age? I think she could be interesting as a second love interest.
Oh God! Natural light!
Black Cat would be Peter's third love interest, since we had the one-off thing with Liz Allan in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
And personally, I feel like introducing too many potential love interests would be really confusing and/or frustrating, especially since they were really leaning in with MJ as being Peter's one to get.

"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Fair enough. Still, I think Black Cat could be an interesting character to use in light of Peter’s status quo post-NWH.
Oh God! Natural light!
x6 With Hulkling Mar-Vell could have hooked up w/ a male skrull in the refugee ship. As for Genis and Phyla though, an ex-husband maybe? Marvel never dwelled on Kree marriages/divorces or whatever their equivalents are.
Come to think of it, would the MCU even try to adapt Carol's half-sister Lauri-El?

Set! Avenge! "Henshin." Black General! Bujin Sword! Ready, Fight!
Well in the case of Hulkling, she would have had to shacked up with a Skrull prince cause Hulkling's thing is he's a space prince.
Thats the interesting thing, the Mar-Vell family characters has an immense importance on legacy as Mar-Vell was regarded as the greatest warrior the Kree Empire ever produced. Which is why they consider Mar-Vell's children so important and have tried to clone him, to recreate Mar-Vell in some manor but under their control.
So I'm curious how would that work here since Mar-Vell was changed from a great warrior into a scientist.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Oh uh if their was any doubt Evangeline Lily is coming full out against vaccine mandates
Not sure how the third antman film is going to go. Hollywood has extremely strict vaccine mandates. At this point I would love if she and Letita we're just recasted? Is it not possible ?
Also on the opposite side of the spectrum. Simu Liu Calls on Media to ‘Stop Highlighting’ COVID-Related ‘Opinions That Are Not Rooted in Facts’ - Actor reveals in new tweets he lost his grandparents last year due to COVID

I saw David Dastmalchian threw some shade at Lilly as well when she made that post.
And yeah, as much as it sucks, recasting isn't on the table at the moment.

Probably yeah, just like in the Guardians game.
Which would be a huge shame since the family relationship is a pretty cool detail about both of the characters.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
