Good question... I always assumed each phase ended with an avengers movie...

D23 is next month maybe they will expand then...

7 MCU films in 2021...

I'll see What If...?, Doctor Strange and maybe Loki for free, the rest look boring as shit.

5 Films for 2021 I think...

Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Dr Strange 2 & Thor 4.

Falcon/Winter Soldier, Wandavision, Loki, What If? & Hawkeye are all Disney+ series.

2022 I’m guessing will be Blade, F4, X-Men etc...

No avengers film in this phase...

TBH it sounded like Feige has closed the door on the avengers.

Nothing here really gets me too excited.
Maybe I’ve just had my fill of the MCU for a while and I’ll get more amped the closer these get.
Not sure if I’m a fan of the female Thor (Natalie Portman). Don’t know the story of how it happens but seems a little tacky to me on the surface.

Bosslogic into his work quickly...

It is in the comics
But I was hoping they’d recast the role, Portman is a terrible choice

It would have been pretty cool if they gave the hammer to lady sif considering people made a big deal about her absence from Ragnarok and the fact she was obviously in love with him in the earlier films.

But I’m guessing Jane Foster plays an important role in the comic which is why they had to use Portman...

I agree though... I wasn’t a fan of her last showing in The Dark World.

 

[bileduct]

Jane Foster became Thor in the comics in 2014, after Natalie Portman had already been cast for the role in the first two movies.

I suspect it will be a one movie only thing and she'll be dead at the end of it.

IMHO, The Dark World was bollocks, you can't really base anything on that - if that was what Chris Hemsworth was based on then he'd be considered pretty crap.

Jane Foster becomes Thor, and later Valkyrie...yeah, she's a fairly important character.

That, and the cancer she must fight while in her mortal form, make her a very interesting character.

 

[shiznit]

I know no one else seems too bothered but I’m pretty interested in Falcon & The Winter Soldier series...

I’m hoping that it will be a spy/espionage type series... expanding on Zemo sounds great.

My favourite villain is Victor Von Doom... I’m just hoping Marvel Studios can do justice to him...

I can't see Portman hanging around for a bunch of films, so I'm thinking they'll use the cancer thing to kill her off while doing something heroic.

I think you're right.

Ok so I know I'm about 12 months behind, but I'm a shiftworker and I'm not that into comic books (despite starting this thread).

I don't have the time (or the ability to stay awake) to go the cinema to see movies that run for 3+ hours.

I don't care about who is meant to do what because the comics say so, why "he" did that and why "she" died etc. etc. All the nitpicky stuff that folk obsess over.

Ultimately, as far as these movies go, I just wanna be entertained.

So I just watched Endgame, totally blown away. I predict I will watch it again another 5 times in the next 2 or so weeks at least.

4.99 stars out of 5, because, well, nothing is perfect.






Except The Dark Knight.

Terrible news - Spider-Man no longer in the MCU:

Disney asked that future Spider-Man films be a 50/50 co-financing arrangement between the studios, and there were discussions that this might extend to other films in the Spider-Man universe. Sony turned that offer down flat, and I don’t believe they even came back to the table to figure out a compromise. Led by Tom Rothman and Tony Vinciquerra, Sony just simply didn’t want to share its biggest franchise. Sony proposed keeping the arrangement going under the current terms where Marvel receives in the range of 5% of first dollar gross, sources said. Disney refused.

Two more movies were planned allegedly.

Sources said there are two more Spider-Man films in the works that are meant to have director Jon Watts and Tom Holland front and center. Unless something dramatic happens, Feige won’t be the lead creative producer of those pictures.

 

[Frederick]

Without Feige involved, I fully expect those next Spiderman movies to be terrible.

What a shame. Wonder how they resolve this in the MCU too

 

[bileduct]

Disney got too greedy.

They f**ked Star Wars and MCU phase 4 looks like a total snoozefest.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah I think they needed Spiderman to carry this thing forward.
