Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Agent Coulson

They could use Deadpool 3 with all its supposed multiverse jumping as a way to kill off the old Kang off screen and replace him with him with another actor or another big bad.

That sounds to me like Deadpool 3 to the rescue maybe? Be a perfect post credit stinger to have Wade deal with Kang as a "gift" to his new universe.

I mean theres no way he doesn't quip about joining the MCU so be pretty hilarious if they just leant into it and had him "fix" the universe (after probably breaking at least a dozen or so universes during his actual movie).

It would leave Majors Kang a complete and utter punchline and let the Kang character restart from a blank slate.

Joseph Quinn is an interesting choice for Johnny Storm. Great in Stranger Things, but haven't seen anything else he's done so excited to see what he's capable of. Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vanessa Kirby are great choices too (thought the image was actually a blonde Emma Stone but the tweet says it's Vanessa Kirby).

pixelburp

That's funny 'cos I spent Season 4 of Stranger Things thinking Eddie Munsen reminded me so much of a young Robert Downey Jr. in places.

Agent Coulson

So will we get an origin story I wonder.

No Doom announced so I'm going to guess Doom will be in the stinger at the end of the movie and not play a major part in it.

Not a bad cast, Moss is great in The Bear and has been cleaning up with awards

Think they ruled out the origin story..rumours doing the rounds is they were removed from a present timeline and placed back in time to another generation...hence why they were never present during thanos etc

The other 3 were definitely locked long before Pedro so it will be fascinating to see how it all gels, but if there's one leading man you could trust to join late it's him.

I just don't want him jumping in any role, doing a Chris Pratt but he is a good addition just not someone I would have thought for the role as Reed

Agent Coulson

Big enough age gap between the actors playing husband and wife.

Solid enough casting.

Mr Crispy

Yeah, have seen plenty of speculation (which is mad considering it's only been a few hours since the reveal) that this will be...

Spoiler Warning

...set in the 1960s. There are a couple of clues in the image released.

I'd like that approach, I think.

pjohnson

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121768344#Comment_121768344

Yeah it seems like the TVA/Deadpool might cause some "helpful" breaks or at least break enough things that this would become a standard way to introduce/retcon anything that needs it.

CastorTroy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121768844#Comment_121768844

There's a big age difference in the comic characters as well, I believe, unless they changed it at some point.

The fact they had The Thing in that picture, I think it would've been a nice touch to at least hint at the other powers as well.

Since they're old enough actors, they won't do a full origin story and may just have a quick summary/flashback.

Was reminded that Monica possibly implied Reed was around for WandaVision when she mentioned an aerospace engineer.

Is it lightly any F4 cameos in DP3 (D&W)?

pjohnson

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121772624#Comment_121772624

Definitely not this Pedro Pascal led iteration anyway. As is the case with pretty much every comic character that ever existed its very heavily rumored that Michael Chiklis's Thing is appearing and some are expecting Chris Evans to appear as Human Torch at the same time.

But it seems no one really was expecting Aaron Stanford to return as Pyro but he was the only one to actually explicitly appear in the trailer so its anyones guess really.

PTH2009

Seeing The Thing as a astronaut. In the universe what's the point of that role as Aliens and Space are a big thing ?

Odd to see another recasting

Agent Coulson

I'd be more impressed if the got the 1994 unreleased Fantastic Four back together for Deadpool 3.

Evans cameo as both Johnny and also Captain, he might do it for Ryan 😁

I really like Evans as Johnny Torch Storm

Norrie Rugger Head

For Deadpool: They are so going to lean into this being the second Deadpool, and a variant (after X-Men Origins: Wolverine), aren't they?

CastorTroy

Just thinking about the Young Avengers teased at the end of The Marvels and who would be in it.

As of now it seems it will be another all female team with Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, then likely Cassie Lang, America Chavez and Riri.

Considering the lack of success for Marvels and Madame Web, will they try and bring in male characters as well? Maybe Skaar? Who else is there, as of now or planned?

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121848851#Comment_121848851

There were definitely going to be male characters; I've seen Skaar, Patriot (briefly featured in the Falcon & Winter Soldier show, Isaiah Bradley's grandson, possibly going to show up in the next CA film) and one or both of Wanda's sons (few years older) all mentioned as possibilities.

pjohnson

I'm still dissapointed they never spinned of an actual Vision series post Wandavision. Be kinda weird not seeing Viv in the Young Avengers stories.

🤔 Wonder what this could mean.

One Batch, Two Batch is a made up children's story made especially for Daredevil season 2.

Spon Farmer

I’m in need of a recap about the final episode of Loki Season 1

Did He Who Remains want to be killed so that the Time Loom would create more branches and more Kangs or was he trying to convince the Lokis to not kill so there wouldn’t be other Kangs?

But then why did he create the TVA to prune the branches in the first place?

And I also need to be reminded what was being said and happened in the Kangs mid credit scene in Quantumania.

Thank you

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121893859#Comment_121893859

Loki Season 1:

He Who Remains is trying to protect the Sacred Timeline which prevents a multiversal war between all the Kangs. He doesn't necessarily want to die, but he's also old and wants either Loki and/or Sylvie to take over from him. But he also knew if Sylvie killed him, the branches would split, the multiversal war would still happen, and He Who Remains would likely return (as he's from the future originally).

Quantumania:

There are still a huge number of Kang Variants out there (same way Loki and Sylvie still exist even though their timelines were pruned), and they exiled one of their own to the Quantum Realm (the main one Ant Man fights). But because he's defeated, the Council of Kangs are worried that the Avengers who have started to experience the multiverse will come for them, so all the remaining Kang Variants are going to team up to stop them instead of fighting among themselves.

I'd recommend Loki Season 2 if you haven't seen. It starts slow and confusing, but the second half of episodes are pretty great, and the finale is superb. It'll also clarify or expand on some of the things I posted above.

Norrie Rugger Head

Loki season 2 is the past thing Marvel have done since Endgame

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121895935#Comment_121895935

I'd say maybe GOTG3 or Spiderman NWH, just because there are two of the episodes of Loki S2 where I kinda just zoned out, but I must go back and rewatch and give them another try. The second half of the season though exceeded all expectations and was absolutely terrific. Also shows why Disney+ shouldn't just one-and-done their TV shows, but instead give them a chance to develop and grow.

Spon Farmer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121895713#Comment_121895713

I have started Season 2 and had just watched the episode 1893 and I needed a memory refresh.

So He Who Remains is actually trying to protect the timeline that he belongs to - not a bad guy, but doing a bad thing? Does Loki understand this because now I’m confused as to why he is so terrified of him? Or is he terrified of the Variants?

Quantumania - that is what I thought but had started to doubt it. That film doesn’t show him as a powerful threat as the had no powers in the Quantum Realm. He needs a few more appearances to establish him/them as a threat and I can’t see him having a part in the upcoming films. Stark and the gang didn’t know Thanos was coming until he arrived but we saw the build up to it even without knowing his plan or powers.

Feige doesn’t seem to be doing that with Kang in the movies, just in Loki.

Spon Farmer

Is Jackman going to be Wolverine or Will Deadpool 3 finally be the last for him?

martingriff

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896239#Comment_121896239

If I remember properly when the rights were bought they could not recruit new actors for the X-Men and they wanted Wolverine for Deadpool so asked Jackman back but I think he wants to leave it now. I think Ligan was meant to be his swan song

Norrie Rugger Head

It was all Reynold's. They are good friends so you just know that they had to do a Deadpool/Wolverine film together.

I'm just surprised that they have not roped in Jake Gyllenhaal for something

Spon Farmer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896275#Comment_121896275

I don’t understand - who cannot recruit new actors for X-Men characters?

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896217#Comment_121896217

I think Loki is more terrified of He Who Remains simply because of the scale of what he was able to do. He's a human who essentially gained dominion over the multiverse and created the entire TVA to eliminate entire alternate universes. And he was pretty much controlling both Liki and Sylvie's lives to get them where he wanted them.

As for Quantumania, yeah it kinda sucked that that version of Kang was dispatched pretty easily so he's obviously not near the power of Thanos, but Kang's threat comes from the Council of Kangs. Near-endless versions of himself working together. Same way Thanos is powerful even without the gauntlet, but his real threat was with the gauntlet. So we haven't seen the Kangs at their full power and ability yet, only one individual Kang (who still managed to take over the Quantum Realm without his powers). Different versions of Kang were supposed to start popping up throughout Phase 5 & 6 before The Kang Dynasty.

But it's likely Kang will either be quickly ignored or Poochie'd off-screen, never to be seen again.

Spon Farmer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896553#Comment_121896553

I’ve seen a lot of headlines on Google about Kang being removed but don’t understand why.

Marvel have recast characters before, so why not Kang ? That seems more sensible than dropping the Big Bad for the arc they have planned out.

Though as I type I’m thinking maybe it is no big deal to leave Kang for the next Saga - he has only appeared in one film and in Loki, but the movies, he hasn’t even been teased in the other movies. Can’t for the life of me figure out why the Kangs had no part in Multiverse of Madness (which itself should have had Strange and America Chavez spend some time in more timelines rather than just two).

Theres a rumor that the actors/producers/writers all had X-Men contracts that ran until 2024 from FOX meaning that they'd have to be credited/paid if characters/X-Men movies were made before then.

pjohnson

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896275#Comment_121896275

Yeah as Spon said I'm 95% sure Reynolds just kept after Jackman until he agreed to don the claws again + yellow suit he always wanted.

Spon Farmer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121896779#Comment_121896779

It is Norrie Rugger Head that posted that. ;)

I’m glad X-Men are getting their time and looking forward to seeing who gets the roles. I wonder if Kelsey Grammer was back for that THE MARVELS credits scene.

I don’t like Deadpool - Ryan Reynolds was taught acting by Tommy Lee Jones, it is a short course titled “just be yourself”.

He might suit the Deadpool character but he is just so dull that that I end up not finishing the movie.

Disney marvel but only for x years
