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.

So, forgive me if I sound like an idiot, but since they tease the Black Panther outfit in this trailer... do we know who the new one will be yet?

[up] Not really. But most if not all the signs are pointed at Shuri, even if the internet is all "nah fam" due to her actress' anti-vax BS.

If its one of the characters we already know, then I'd like for them to keep it a surprise. At least as long as possible.

Hmmmmh looks like the leaks are looking accurate

I think that may have been a pregnant Nakia with T'Challa's kid.

[up] I thought that was a flashback to Namor's birth. Like, who gives birth underwater? Wouldn't that just drown the baby unless it had gills or something?

I would like a movie or tv series of Scarlet Witch in phase 6, in which she fights against some demon.

Im not sure on the plot, but at least visually Wakanda Forever is deffinitly delivering. What we see does seem to match up with the leaked synopsis. So I guess its really gonna be Shuri, urgh.

Though I wonder whats up with Ramonda saying her entire family is gone.

Storywise I was kind of hoping for that to be the case, and it honestly makes a lot of sense narratively as well going by comics precedent, although the actress's personal drama has soured that significantly.

Maybe this happens halfway through the movie:

Ramonda: Say, Shuri, you look like you have something to say!
Shuri: I certainly do! [dubbed over voice] I have to go now. My planet needs me.
Note: Shuri died on the way back to her home planet

That line makes me wonder if Shuri is in trouble as well.

Would they kill her off due to what her actress did?

I do remember seeing some rumors a while back that Nakia would be pregnant with T'Challa's child, plus a few that claimed Riri's role was to invent the device that sparks the conflict between Wakanda and Namor. We'll see if that bears out.

If something happens to Shuri, then if the above is true she's technically a Spare to the Throne.

All things considered if Shuri does become the new BP I feel they'll just downplay her in following movies, like having her sit out the Avengers films entirely aside from a cameo or small mention.

Blade starts filming in October 2022!

Fantastic Four starts filming next year!

And we have the synopsis for Wakanda Forever:

'BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER' follows Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation in the wake of King T'Challa's death and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda.

...I'm sad again, guys. sad

And the synopsis for GOTG Vol. 3:

'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 3.' follows Star-Lord, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, who must rally his team to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed, could lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

UPDATE: PLOT TWIST! From Kevin Feige himself, The Russo Brothers will NOT be directing The Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars!

Just saw the Wakanda Forever trailer. Can't wait. [tup]

I couldn't tell did they keep Namor's feet wings or were they part of his sandals?

I wonder who they'll get? Hope it's someone that can buck the criticisms of the Russos's direction.

Has anyone considered the possibility that Wakanda Forever is an Interquel set between Infinity War and Endgame?

I guess that makes sense. They said they'd only come back for Secret Wars, not that they'd be coming back.

[up]Shuri was officially Blipped, so no, it's probably not. At least not entirely.

The MCU pattern (granted, based on a single example) would be getting someone from the solo outings to helm the films.

Personally I feel like they should ring up Sam Raimi and see if he's available but I am biased.

The synopsis states that T'Challa is dead, so it wouldn't work as an interquel.

@Eagal in the scene of his birth (0:45 of the trailer) you can see his baby feet wings.
