MCU phase 5.

My gambling chips are on Celestials replacing Beyonder in Secret Wars, so me.


They'd better bring some Guardians-verse characters in to liven it up a bit though.

They brought in Harry Stiles at the end, they have to make a sequel.

Starfox was a big fucking deal in the 80's comics.
I don't know why, but he was.
Now he'll be a big deal for being Harry Styles.

It appears no one wants the movie. The studio is just looking to throw away several million dollars for the hell of it.

They’ll make this one and @Diacanu is probably right, they’ll link it to Secret Wars and then quickly bury it in the desert and it’ll never be mentioned again.

Just so they can waste several million dollars.

Disney filmed Solo twice. Sometimes the Mouse makes dumb business decisions.

Yeah, I want to see the Lord/Miller cut of Solo, and the Ayer cut of Suicide Squad 1.
We won't though.
The cockroach people that replace us will excavate the film cans in a salt mine, and not know what they are.

Eternals 2 has Harry Styles, Joker 2 has Lady Gaga, I'm gonna call it now, Joker 2 will be the better movie.

One day another Steve Jobs will come along, except he’s more like us and he buys up all of the things we want and releases them. He also remakes the prequels the way fans want them to be made. Then the people who grew up with the prequels and genuinely loves them will make a huge stink about it the internet blows up for real this time.He also remakes the sequel trilogy.

I liked Solo. Apparently I’m not the only one.

Thank God Hollywood and Disney don’t make films based on your opinions.

Pro: It had Emelia Clarke

Con: She was never naked.

They do, they made the Snyder Cut.

I actually liked Eternals, you still had the usual CGI fest towards the end, but it was a real change in pace for MCU movies - much more expansive, so looking forward to the sequel.

A lot of people complaining about the post-Infinity Saga movies seem to forget that the first few movies were all about finding its feet, setting the pieces up, then moving them together into a (mostly coherent) whole, they seem to be repeating the process on a much bigger scale with the Multiverse saga as they're using a lot of new characters people won't be familiar with.

Which has been another moan, roll back to before Iron Man was announced, the general public could have told you who Batman and Supes was, Iron Man? Sounded like a service for middle class women bored of chores and their husbands dad bods to the average cinema goer.

I'm thinking The Watcher - MoM scene with Clea sounded like the start of the Multiverses colliding, and we already had the Watcher build a mini haven in What If?

They'll do what the Arrowverse did to merge realities, only instead of Supergirl, Superman and Black Lightning the MCU will bring in the X-Men, F4, etc. and instead of doing it in 6 episodes, they'll spaff a few billion on dozens of movies and TV shows and make a metric tonne of moolah from it ready for another Saga and Phases 7-9, assuming the public hasn't got bored of it by then.

Looks pretty close to certain that it's going to be Matt Shakman from Wandavision.

Jesus Christ, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. The only one of those that looks remotely interesting is Guardians 3.

Yeah, the titles are boring, but consider "Civil War" was a backdoor Avengers with the first Spidey appearance, Thor 3 was Planet Hulk, Spidey 3 was multiverse, Dr. Strange 2 was the first X-Men cameo.
Hopefully, they're hiding cool surprises behind bland titles like that.

Loki S2 has my attention.

Thunderbolts is going to have to deal with Suicide Squad Fatigue, unless they go all out on the "Dark Avengers" angle and make every member a flip of a major hero.

Dude finds out that he's been cut from another MCU movie on-air.

No idea who Tom Scharpling is, and really don't care.

But the way he found out about being cut from the film is pretty funny.

Prediction- "Multiverse Of Madness" was just a taste, "Quantumania" will be another taste, but "Age Of Kang" will be the gluttonous feast of pre-MCU cameos we wanted "Multiverse" to be.

Notice that there's a cigarette burn in one scene. What's a cigarette burn, you may ask?

Ope, this one slipped by me yesterday.

Remember a million years ago, Tim Blake Nelson played Sam Sterns in "The Incredible Hulk", and then he got transformation gunk on his head, and it was hinted he was going to be The Leader, and they never, ever, ever got back to that?

We're getting The Leader.

In Captain America 4, weirdly.

Shulkie 5 is better, I'd prefer a straight up Titania but this version is a little interesting. No magic and Wong Being An Idiot(tm) in this one. I guess we are done with Abomination and Tim Roth.

But this one was more Ally McBeal, had a few cute moments, nothing overtly cringe worthy, and while Black Gay Edna Mode is an obvious rip off, at least they give us a teaser of DD in ep 6.

This belongs in the Marvel TV thread.

Marvel Studios Enlists Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer to Write Fantastic Four

They don't have a lot of writing credits.

Jon Watts was nobody when they picked him for the Spidey Home trilogy.
Kevin Feige knows what he's doing.
