Marvel Cinematic Universe News, Rumors, and Discussion

I didn't think otherwise.... :?

I disagree

Wrong.

You trying to fight?

But really I meant that you guys are all dumb and Michele Gonzales is a Mary Sue and even Spider-Man 3 was better than what this will be.

Avengers: Infinity War including characters never seen on screen in the MCU

"New characters are going to appear in Avengers: Infinity War," Joe told Forbes in an interview. "It's a big sprawling ambitious movie, it's about as ambitious as movies get and it should be, and the title alone indicates that there will be an incredible scape and scope to it."

Spider-Man 3 wasn't as good as Fant4stic though

That makes sense, as the two Infinity War films will likely serve as a bridge between Phase 3 and Phase 4, since the Avengers actors' contracts mostly end with IW Part 2 as far as I know. It'd make sense to transition a bit by introducing new characters who will then become focus of Phase 4 and onwards in terms of solo films. Hopefully it'll work better in Infinity War than it did for Mutt in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The film is going to end with Bucky reaching for Cap's shield, and Cap snatching it away at tge last second.

Amazon now has a list of comics that will be included in the Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude TPB. As far as the MCU comics go, it's the expected Doctor Strange Prelude #1-2 and Doctor Strange Prelude Infinite Comic.

So Cloak and Dagger are getting their own TV show on Freeform. It hasn't been said if it'll be in the MCU, but it'll be co-produced by both Marvel and ABC studios, so more than likely it'll be.

Synopsis for Cloak and Dagger:

"This exciting new series is an adaptation of the beloved Marvel characters aimed squarely at young adults. This live-action interracial romance follows Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while falling in love. Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart—but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging."

Cloak and Dagger aren't a couple though

 

[Mattimeo84]

They were in the Ultimate Universe I believe.

Peter also didn't go to school with Mary Jane. Professor X only had five students at first. Bucky didn't "die" from falling from a train. Changes happen.

Also...

Yup. They were.

There was so much potential with Ultimate Power Pack.

I know, but I would have preferred it to be like 616. I like the idea that they have this very important platonic relationship, especially on Ty's side where he literally needs her to stop himself from becoming a monster of a human being. I'm definitely hyped, but I'm not really as hyped as I could be.

Me too.

I know things change and in a lot of cases it's not a problem, but some changes just make me think if you want to make a big important change, why aren't you creating something new?

I never read a ton of Cloak & Dagger so I'm no expert. But interpersonal relationships like this generally shouldn't be changed.

 

[Ice]

I wouldn't say this is necessarily a "big" change. But it looks like they're using the basis of the ultimate versions, so it makes sense- teenagers and they're a couple.

Charlie Cox revealed The Defenders begins shooting later this year.

With Iron Fist also filming soon and aiming for release in early 2017 (probably March) we'll probably see The Defenders in late 2017 (maybe September)

He also mentions he's not sure if there will be a Daredevil Season 3, but with success of first two seasons I'd be surprised if Netflix doesn't begin production on a third season after Defenders wraps production.

The Inhumans movie is delayed to an unspecified date:

Feige says the Inhumans movie will happen, it's just a question of how far back it will be delayed.

"Since we made our initial phase three announcement, we added Spider-Man, which was a big joyous coup for us. We added Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us. Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time. So I think it will shuffle off the current date that it's on right now," Feige said in an interview with Collider's Haleigh Foutch. "How far down it shuffles, I'm not sure yet."

Marvel Studios Head Reveals When To Expect Captain Marvel Announcements

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed during the Captain America: Civil War press day that talent announcements are imminent.

"I think we'll be announcing a filmmaker in the next month or two, and probably some cast members later in the summer, at the end of the summer," Feige told Fandango. That timeframe makes a Captain Marvel announcement a very real possibility for this year's San Diego Comic Con.

 

[E]

Feige says the Inhumans movie will happen, it's just a question of how far back it will be delayed.

There seems to be a few people who think it won't happen.

I wonder how Marvel will have to consider marketing this movie considering they are basically competing with X-Men.

Official title and logo:

That doesn't look like a movie title. It looks like a Spider-Man cartoon title.

It totally does! :lol:

 

[the watcher]

Michael Keaton in talks with Marvel to play Spider-Man villain.

(Sorry, I'm on my iPad and for some reason it's not letting me copy links. You can check it out at just about any comic book news site. But it really doesn't give you any more information than this.)

 

[DIrishB]

Keaton would actually make an awesome J. Jonah Jameson. Actually, I don't even want him as the villain, just JJJ.

Daredevil Showrunners Return For Marvel's The Defenders

Spider-Man: Homecoming adds Robert Downey Jr.

It's official: "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark for Marvel Studios and Sony's joint "Spider-Man" film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Downey has just closed a deal to appear in "Spider-Man: Homecoming." It is unclear at this time if Downey's deal is just for "Homecoming" or includes multiple other Marvel Cinematic Universe installments.

 

[Captain Canuck]

Still hoping for a Spidey/DD crossover.

 

[Captain Canuck]

So the Inhumans movie has been removed from the Disney release schedule. Hopefully it's just been pushed back for now.
