Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 & 3 thread.

Looking forward to the Stark/Strange beard-off - "oh, I'm sorry young Gandalf, only one of us can rock this look and you rock... Prog. Prog rock. You're going to have to go shave for this to work"

Dazzler is going to be in "Dark Phoenix".

You know, someone at Sony has to think long and hard and just accept that the best way to make money is for Disney Marvel to deliver it to their doorstep without their interference on the finer creative points, such as how to make a movie.

Junket press reactions to Homecoming are good.

The Sony Venom & Black Cat movies are NOT in the MCU.

The "sad Feige", memes were right, he was giving Pascal the "bitch, you crazy", face.

I hope they tank for this very reason.

Fan theory that Tom Holland subscribes to that the little boy from Iron Man 2 is Peter Parker.

This needs to be a confirmed thing.

Dark Phoenix cast photo.

Uh.., where's Fassbender and Lawrence?

Smaller cameo roles during reshoots?

Confirmed.

Yeah, whatever.

I'm going to do my "get off my damn lawn, ya hippies" routine and say that I don't like these fan-service retcons. No, sir, I don't like them one bit.

If they never acknowledge it on screen, it makes no difference. That kid could literally be anybody.

And if they do acknowledge it on screen at some point, it doesn't fit because the very first time Peter met Tony that should have come up. Peter or May should've said something about it. But they didn't, and because they didn't, I'm afraid that, no, that little kid in Iron Man 2 was not, in fact, Peter Parker.

Peter did make it very clear that he was a life-long fan -- and tongue-tied. And Tony probably can't even recall the encounter.

Having said that, I take the official confirmation as an announcement that this will be acknowledged on screen.

It's better as a fan theory with a wink from Marvel, otherwise you start getting in small world syndrome. I mean, it's a nice thing as a fan, but also fanwank.

No one was around to help Stark in IM3, but hey, Peter Parker happened to be in the right place and right time in IM2 to meet him!

A line that he was at the expo? Happy with that, as then the kid could be Parker, also couldn't be, up to your own personal opinion then.

Rosario Dawson has left New mutants, and been replaced with Alice Braga.

She's hawt!

FOX has 6 mystery Marvel films scheduled.

http://www.cbr.com/fox-marvel-movie-release-dates/

X-Men: Magneto is off doing something, Raven is off doing something, Jubilee is shown, but her name is never mentioned and she does nothing, a bad guy shows up or Magneto is the bad guy, Wolverine makes a cameo, Striker makes an inconsistent timeline cameo, new mutants are introduced, Quicksilver does something really cool and funny and has the best scene, Dark Phoenix appears, Scott is a dick, the X-Men save the day, but Raven either joins them and leaves or joins Magneto and leaves, Charles And Eric have some kind of exchange and a chess match and in the end are friends, but Eric still proves he's right, but we still root for Charle's view, rinse and repeat five more times.

They're going to give Roger Corman another stab at the Fantastic Four.

Now Venom & the rest ARE in the MCU.
Kinda.
Amy Pascal & Kevin Feige jointly confirmed that while they wouldn't interact with the MCU proper, they would be in the same REALITY.
I take this to mean it's like Netflix.
The Defenders will never be in an MCU movie, but they can reference characters and events.
Same for this Venom-verse.

I would imagine that Venom, being a Sony production, cannot refer to anything in the MCU explicitly. That is, no one can mention the Avengers or events of the Marvel films. It will connect only to Spider-Man.

In other words, it isn't in the MCU in any meaningful way.

I mean, Venom and Avengers are in the same reality the way Gilligan's Island and The A-Team are. There's nothing in one that contradicts the other, but neither do they reference one another.

*Accepts the challenge*

Gilligan's Island met the Harlem Globetrotters, Harlem Globetrotters met Scooby-Doo, Scooby Doo and A-Team are in Lego Dimensions.

Goddamn you.

All TV shows exist in the same universe.

Sam Beckett is the ancestor of Johnathan Archer.

He's Sterling's brother, right?

Huh?

I don't watch that show.
