Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 & 3 thread.

Rachel McAdams has been confirmed as the female lead in "Dr. Strange".

They haven't said whether she's Clea...but come on, who are we kidding? She's Clea.

Strange without Clea would be like Superman without Lois.

Let's see...

Benedict Cumberbatch
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Tilda Swinton
(maybe) Mads Mikkelson
and now Rachel McAdams?

Marvel's really stacking the deck of acting talent for Dr. Strange!

Since Diacanu isn't around...

Captain America: Civil War Trailer!!

Shit that looks decent.

Remind me again why this isn't AVENGERS 3? Most of them are there anyway

Yep. They still know how. At some point, they're going to make a mediocre movie, but not quite yet, I guess.

Looks VERY promising.

Just looks like more of the same to me. I as already got bored half way through Age of Ultron I might give this a miss. The novelty of seeing them all together has worn off and I'm not seeing anything on offer in that trailer that doesn't follow the already set forumla from previous movies (including heroes battles each other). But then Marvel was never my thing growing up.

"AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR" INCLUDING CHARACTERS WE'VE NEVER SEEN ON SCREEN IN THE MCU

They've also said altogether, there'll be about 68 characters.

As long as one of 'em is She-Hulk.

I'm hoping that recognizable characters will just keep popping up throughout the film. That would be sooooooo cool.

You just know the Defenders will be there, even if for a second.

They got Doctor Strange's look just right.

Aw fuck, Chiwetel's in it, too! Damn, that's gonna be a good movie!

What is going on with his forehead?

I don't know much about Doctor Strange. Would he be the Marvel equivalent to DC's Doctor Fate?

Basically.

He's actually closer to Constantine if anything, but neither is correct. I'd say he is as unique a Lee invention as Spider-Man, Thor, and the Fantastic Four.

FTFY

True. It's among the bundle of Lee innovations, but very explicitly Ditko's. Of course, several more of the explicitly Lee characters probably are about as much drawn from his partners' ideas...

Early word on Captain America: Civil War is that it's good.

Inhumans on the back burner.

Marvel has been very hit or miss for me. Ironman was really good but both sequals were pretty bad. Liked Thor but not the sequal. Avengers was great but 2 was a letdown... Captain America has been the most consistent so I really am looking forward to this one even though I know that like most marvel movies it will most likely have little rewatchable value for me.

Exciting new casting for "Thor: Ragnarok".

Cate Blanchett as Hela
Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster.
Tessa Thompson (Creed, Selma) as Valkyrie.
Karl Urban as Skurge.

Also, Michael Keaton is back in talks for "Spider-Man: Homecoming".

I don't know Tessa Thompson, but everyone else is

See "Creed".

Oh, yep, I did see that. Now I know who we're talking about.

Rumor has it that Vincent Donofrio will reprise his Daredevil role as Kingpin Wilson Fisk in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The animated Sony Spiderman film is going to be about Miles Morales.

Yeah, not exactly MCU, it's Sony's own spinoff thing, but I didn't wanna do a whole thread just for this.
