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.

Which ones?
It's an incredibly convenient premise, and it also gives plenty of room for drama. The puberty metaphor is a bonus too.
Really, the whole X-Men premise re-imagined superhero fiction as a whole, it inspired tons of other series and changed how people think about superhero fiction.
By that logic they could use Mystique, no? I am not sure it works. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are special cases as they are far,far, more connected to the Avengers than to the X Men. Deathbird is primary an X Men villain in the comics, origins aside. It is not like Marvel can claim Wolverine just because he debuted in Hulk (they would have done so already, if they could).
That is why the mutants were created in the first place. Stan didn't want to think in more origins stories for another 5 characters. "They were born that way" is far more convenient.
Goldballs, Tempus and some other punks. Wikipedia
have the full roster(scroll down, everyone between Tempus and Hijack are new). They list the All New X-Men there also, which is not quite correct.

So Cap 1 is on. Something I'm just catching: Stark described the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube/Space Gem energy as being "alpha, beta ray neutral".
What comes next in that sequence...
Also, in the "buy war bonds" montage, Cap is surrounded by troops who well echo Bucky, Gabe, and Falsworth in appearance.

Selvig mentioned it emitting a small amount of gamma rays too. The Cube sure likes its rays.
I'm sorta surprised that Cap's war bonds movie included a black teammate, considering troops weren't desegregated yet and a propaganda film wouldn't want to raise protest.

Let's just hope that this film inspires Sony to create a One More Day two-part film with AS, giving the fans exactly what they want another excuse to hate on the franchise, only for it to default back to Marvel Studios

Edit: I'm really tired of all the "Spider-Man and FF will come back to Marvel if the movies suck" stuff so I'm starting on that thing I mentioned last time.

Captain America: Reborn is pretty much impossible for the MCU to do since it doesn't have the tech level, Zola is dead and Red Skull is probably not going to return since Weaving doesn't want to do the role any more.
Also the storyline was pretty awful and the reborn Cap was already back in action in other books before he was revived in the story.
Sticking with Bucky and maybe having Falcon take over after Fear Itself or when Stan gets tired of the role would be great.

It's Civil War, it's featuring Crossbones in a prominent role, it's taking place in a Captain America film specifically - really, at this point, I'm pretty well and truly convinced that Cap is going to die.

It's not a surprisingly long contract. It is exactly the same contract they wanted for Captain America, too, nine movies, (and I guess, more or less the standard for new actors in the universe), but Chris Evans was very reluctant to take the role after his experiences with the fantastic four and only agreed when Marvel went down to six movies. Naturally the six movie contract suggests that it might be time for Marvel to think about ways to write him out of the movie series, but I don't think that it will happen before the Infinity war.
I think we really have to get away from the notion that just because an actor has a contract for nine or more movies, Marvel has plans for him to be in that many. That is simply not the case, it is a back-up, to ensure that the actors are available when they need them. And just because a contract ends, it doesn't mean the there won't be a new one. Even if Chris Evans has other plans NOW, this might change in the future, especially if Marvel makes him an offer he can't resist. Like directing a movie in exchange for being around longer.
