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.

Do we have any official statements that his rights where with Fox? Because maybe they simply held off on introducing him while Thanos was still the big threat rather then them not being able to use him.

From the mouth of Kevin Feige himself, after Wakanda Forever releases, Phase 4 will officially be done.

Huh, so Phase 4 really was just about introducing a bunch of new characters it looks like.

Fucking yes!

Though it is interesting, since "Born Again" was already adapted with Season 3.

With 18 episodes there might be hope for some crossovers with other Defenders members.

Also Vincent D'Onofrio confirmed! If anybody seriously thought Kingpin was dead.

[up]X2: Also posted in the show's thread!


Curious to see that Daredevil will be 18 episodes. Namely budget wise, as I imagine the shorter seasons of previous Disney+ MCU shows took that into account.

Unless, because Daredevil is more street-level, they'll budget it similar to the Netflix ABC Studios series?

18 episodes is good news but they'd better not fuck this up.

If it's not Daredevil Season 4 in all but name, we riot.

I honestly don't expect it because Tom Holland's on a break and the Sony licensing stuff might get in the way, but I'd sploosh for an episode where Daredevil teams up with Spider-Man.

I feel like 18 episodes is too long, the Netflix shows did have the issue of having too many episodes and spinning their wheels as a result

The D+ shows have too little but now hilariously they wind the risk of doing too much

Yeah, I just got off a Doom Eternal marathon and suddenly we have ten or more MCU live-action works lined up.

The She-Hulk trailer is great. I don't even care about the CG of her face. And where are all these new supers popping up from?

GOTG Vol. 3 deets!

  • It's the end of this take on the Guardians.
  • From Gunn himself, "some stories have an end, doesn’t mean everyone dies."
  • Chukwudi Iwuji is THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY!
  • Maria Bakalova (from Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm) is COSMO THE DOG!
