Movie Marvel Cinematic Universe - News, updates and discussion

[Ry009]

What lead in movies are still to come before this? Always felt like a good build up before an Avengers movie but this is lacking badly so far.

Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four I think.

Not a great way to set up the story then.

This feels an awful lot like a hail mary.

Seem to be going all out for Doomsday. Hope the story matches the hype they're building.




I don't have the hype for MCU as I once had, but glad to see OG X-Men. (wonder if we get a couple of extra unannounced cameos - surely Evan Peters gets better than Ralph Bohner...)

Even though he has the perfect ending in the TV series, always glad to see my boy Loki, although I suspect it may be another variant.

Hope they haven't shown the best bits.

Where's mephisto?

This feels an awful lot like a hail mary.

It’s an expensive roll of the dice too. RDJ alone is rumoured to be earning $80m. Whilst he will feature heavily, as contrasted to the likes of say Ian Mckellan/Patrick Stewart etc (who will probably have smallish cameos filmed somewhere on a green screen closer to home for them), I’m sure they’re still being paid handsomely.

The budget for Secret Wars will be fascinating. In my head, all those cast names further cement my prediction last year that the Battleworld Avengers will feature Jackman, Tobey Maguire and so on.

It has X-Men... So im in day 1 regardless

 

[Sinjin Smith]

I really lost interest after Endgame. That sort of wrapped it up for me, I have seen some others since but you need to watch the multitude of TV shows to keep up and I just can't be ****ed.

Though the characters in Doom look good.

 

[Jeremias]

A few things.

Firstly, that's a hilarious way to announce the cast, or part thereof. Pure Marvel arrogance and I love it!

So in the announcement we had...

Ant-Man
Shang-Chi
Loki
Sentry
Yelena
Falcon
Magneto
Bucky
M’Baku
Thor
Beast
Cyclops
Gambit
U.S. Agent
Sue Storm
Mystique
Professor X
Nightcrawler
Black Panther
Namor
Reed Richards
Ghost
Johnny Storm
Red Guardian
Doctor Doom
The Thing
Captain America

Plenty of big names, as to be expected. But perhaps the bigger story is who wasn't named, and whether any or all of them are truly not in the movie.

And then whether any or all of them will be in the next Avengers movie.

Spider Man x 3
Doctor Strange
Wong
Wanda
Vision
Nick Fury
Captain Marvel
Starlord
Guardians
Deadpool
Wolverine
Hulk
Hawkeye
Ms Marvel
Moon Knight
Monica Rambeau
Storm
Jean Gray
Any of the Young Avenger team they've been building up - though I guess none are big enough to warrant being included in this announcement.

The other issue I have with this is it basically ruins what happens in the upcoming Thunderbolts*.

Watching this appear after the casting sheet of Doomsday is hilarious. Dude is excited to be back as Cyclops as I. OG X-Men hopefully on the OG outfits.
