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.

I don't know if I'd say "concerning." They want to make sure they don't just haphazardly throw them in "We have these characters now, make them now!" And there's no reason they couldn't slowly introduce those characters in upcoming productions, either. Worked out fine for Black Panther and Spider-Man.

On the one hand I'm glad Stature is joining the cast in Antman. On the other hand... it's a bit weird to use Kang now.

Oh yeah, remember how we have a Gamora variant thanks to Endgame? She's a Ravager now! AND ROCKET STILL HAS HIS BLUE AND RED COSTUME FROM ENDGAME?!?

[up] I blame Fox.

[up][up] This is actually potentially a really cool set up for the end of Peter Quill's character development. He's always been a character latching onto the past, and I could see him pining for and trying to win over Gamora in the movie, only to realize its not the same, she's not his Gamora, and let her go. I might be expecting too much of the MCU for that to happen, but could I see Gunn taking a somewhat ballsy route like that? Yeah, I could.

Discussing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ryan Coogler straight up getting emotional about Chadwick Boseman: "I promise you that I can feel his arm on my shoulder right now."

Damn it, I'm sad again. sad

The dates of the two Avengers movies make it seem like its going to be set up as a two-parter, a la Infinity War/Endgame.

I still believe that there will be at least 3 Kangs, the villain of Loki, the one from Ant-Man and Wasp and a last one that will be the Big Bad in general.

Only a 6 month gap between Avengers Movies? Marvel Studios, I know doing things that ain't been done before is kind of the hat you've always worn, but holy shit.

...I should really start catching up on all this stuff though. Other than Spider-Man: No Way Home, I haven't been keeping up with Phase 4 at all. (Other than reading synopsis for stuff)

So that means that we won't have an Avengers film for three years that seems like weird gap to have between the instalments of easily the biggest money making series in the MCU.

"Secret Invasion" will likely fill that role. Wouldn't be surprised if the name gets tweaked a bit.

Admitably the issue with Secret Wars is that Kang might be taking Doom's place as the main antag

As there's really not enough time to properly build up Reed and Doom's epic rivalry that is the culmination of the Hickman Secret Wars story

Prolly be a very distilled version of the story which shame, really wanted to see the ultimate Reed vs Doom slug-fest

So Phase 5 will be only for a year then? Since Fantastic Four will be in 2024 and the start of Phase 6.
