Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 & 3 thread.

Guardians 2 poster.

Guardians 2 teaser.

Yondu's got his fin back!!!

So that's three more Marvel movies out in the coming months, and every single one looks awesome, AND different to the ones that came before. At some point, Feige & co. will have to write a book looking back and tell us how they did this. Beyond individual ideas, they just managed to attract so much amazing and diverse talent, I want to know what they did to make that happen.

I am Groot!

They're more than welcome to take my money.

Yes, that's certainly necessary, but it clearly isn't sufficient, when you look at the other well-budgeted stuff out there.

Logan teaser.

Critics have seen Dr. Strange, and they like it.
The consensus seems to be "not top 5, but fun", so, somewhere in Ant-Man territory, I wager.

That looks badass and a very different, but, OMG, Hugh Jackman looks like Mel Gibson with that beard. I wasn't aware Professor X was going to be in this.

Wow, looks so different than prior Wolverine films. Looking forward to it.

Agreed. Marvel's had so many good films, Dr. Strange not being in the top five does not preclude it from being a good film. Even Marvel's bottom five were decent and watchable.

That's about what I'm expecting/hoping for, so good news there.

JESUS, NO!!!

Let's all just kill ourselves now.

Oh, that's very troubling. After the success of Deadpool, all involved should've been striving to keep a winning team together.

The sequel may still be great; we'll have to wait and see.

Also, techically not MCU but whatevs.

1. A separate thread for Fox-Marvel would be tedious.
2. I count the heli-carrier and Hydra Bob in Deadpool as enough of a link.

Deadpool should be upgraded to MCU on merit, IMO.

If below report is accurate, they may have dodged a bullet. [Marvel even more homogenized ?, no thanks.]

Director releases huge Dr. Strange spoiler. No, I'm not going to quote it. Click the link if you want to know what it is. I'm not familiar with the comic, so I don't grasp the importance (if any) of it.

^That seems like a HUGE spoiler, but when you read what it actually is, it's not. The only spoiler there is that a certain character in the Dr. Strange universe is confirmed to be in the movie. Something that will probably come as no surprise to those who know the comic.

I don't know shit about Dr. Strange, so no.

*Peeks*
Yep, I thought that character would be as forgone as Joker in the Bat-verse.

This is almost like finding out Christopher Reeve plays another role in Superman: The Movie...



...and you later find out it's the voice of the pilot on the radio as the helicopter approaches the Daily Planet to pick up Lois Lane.

Interesting, but hardly a big deal.

(That one's true, by the way.)

And the composer is out.

Jebus, WTF guys?

Inhumans is going to be a show instead of a movie, but the first two episodes will be on IMAX, and therefore a movie anyway.

Might we be getting DR. DOOM in the new Avengers films?

Seems pretty flimsy at the moment, it's just a picture of an older building with stone arches that's caused people to speculate.

Would be cool though.
