hey can we talk about how this might effect video games for a second?

with all that's going on in phase 3, what's the chance we might see a marvel vs capcom 4 this generation?

I never thought the third would happen so I'm kind of optimistic. I'd love to wreck some fools as Thanos personally.

honestly I don't think MVC4 will happen.

marvel seems to be guarding their IPs a lot more closely when it comes to games, and Capcom doesn't seem interested in making another fighting game that's not gonna sell 5 million+ copies.

regarding the post-Avengers 2 bump, I think after that movie and with RDJ involved, Captain America 3 is gonna make bank. Would be nice to see it beat IM3 as the top-grossing "solo" film, even if it is looking to turn out like Avengers 2.5.

 

[injurai]

Oversaturization incoming.

Seems pretty well spread out. If anything oversaturization will come from Warner Bros, Fox, and Sony stocking weekends full of their movies.

But Marvel is looking really good with their plan.

Intrigued to see how they'll possibly out-epic Phase 3.

Namor
Moonknight
Sif
Aldrif

Marvel made it to where their movies do in fact occupy multiple genres, so they won't be hit that hard in the event that the comic book bubble bursts.

Yeah, exactly.
They will just break out the Moon Knight psychological thrillers and The Midnite Sons' horror movies.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Sif better have a lot more screentime in Thor: Ragnarok.

 

[kunonabi]

You know why RDJ worked as Tony Stark? Because he essentially IS Tony Stark. Great casting sometimes means an actor doesn't need to "reach".

I'd argue, Katee Sackhoff IS Carol Danvers as she has been portrayed in many arcs. Strong, sarcastic, wry, confident, fighter-pilot bad-ass.

It doesn't matter if she can't be compelling in a staging of Shakespeare... she just has to be herself to pull off a perfect Captain Marvel.

Plus I think she would be a natural fit with Evan, Downey, Hemsworth, etc. She seems like she could slide in and be going out for beers with them in no time. That kind of chemistry between actors is just as important with the way everything is connected at Marvel Studios.

 

[Slayven]

Sif better have a lot more screentime in Thor: Ragnarok.

Of course, how else would her and Beta Ray Bill's romance develop?

 

[Stark]

Hope Moon Knight is not a TV Series. Want a film in Phase 4 for him.

Sif better have a lot more screentime in Thor: Ragnarok.

Yes.

 

[injurai]

Sif better have a lot more screentime in Thor: Ragnarok.

For real, and none of the love triangle Thor crap.

Spoiler

She should totally get with Cap.

Yes, Phase 1 movies all pretty much just occupied the superhero genre, but Phase 2 started branching out with sub-genres. GOTG being sci-fi, TWS having espionage and political elements, etc.
They were still superhero summer films with those subgenres, but I imagine Phase 3 will take it even further again in separating the different films with different genres. Doctor Strange and Ant-Man are probably going to be very different from the other films.

Thor TDW could have gone a lot more fantasy than it did, so hopefully Ragnarok goes full on fantasy. The best Phase 2 movies were the ones that embraced their sub-genre.

 

[guek]

R rated Moon Knight, yes please

Well hopefully we'll get Jamie Alexander as Loki after Thor: Ragnarok

That's a really good point. The reason Cap 2 and GotG were so great is because they were barely superhero movies. Cap 2 was a simple but well done spy thriller with a super soldier protagonist. GotG was a straight up comedy space opera. Nothing about it was really a superhero movie except the Marvel name.

Trying to bring in the bronie audience?

Yes indeed. Sad but true but ultimately (and without derailing too far into the gaming side) this isn't a bad thing. I liked MVC3 but for me it lacked the charm of past ventures. X-Men COTA and Marvel Super Heroes were perhaps my personal favourites but I do think technically it peaked with MVC2.

It had a good run and if thats the end, we'll always have "GONNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE"!!

Ahhh!!! That would be awesome! Need to keep my expectations in check.

 

[FaustsBoon]

You know, people mentioning Phase 4 being sequelitis... I think there are a few ringers they could pull.

1. If the Netflix shows do well, Daredevil, Heroes for Hire, etc... could get a movie treatment to further bring them in.

2. The actor who played Bucky has signed on for what, nine films? I fully expect if Evans bails, we'll get The Winter Soldier/Bucky as Cap... hell even making for an exciting moment in Phase 5, etc... IF Chris Evans pops back for a cameo/return.

 

[Netherscourge]

Does anything happen with the X-Men 1st class crew?

Or is that officially over now?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Intrigued to see how they'll possibly out-epic Phase 3.

From earlier in the thread:

House of M, in which Scarlet Witch goes crazy and causes all three realities (MCU, Spider and X/FF) to combine. In the comics, M stood for Mutant, or maybe Maximoff, but in this instance it'll stand for HOUSE OF MARVEL.

(lol)

 

[IntelliHeath]

I can't really believe that we finally got full roster for Phase 3. I'm very excited about phase 3. I have a concern that DCCU, MCU, Sony and Fox might cause super heroes movies being over saturated and people would get tired of it. Right now, it's still hot but we don't know how the audiences felt after 5 years. If they got tired of it then I'm perfectly fine with them ending on Avengers Infinity War.

Unfortunately, I don't think Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 would happens. After what happens with Marvel's stances with video games (Marvel) and Capcom's financial issues. From top of my head, I think Capcom can't afford license right now.

Isn't Chris Pratt signed on for 9 too, Bucky becomes Cap and Starlord becomes Iron Man.

 

[richiek]

I'm ANGRY we've got no Captain Marvel/Doc Strange concept art yet. Chances are we'll be left with nothing for well over a year, barring some crazy leaks.

1. Nobody's cast as Captain Marvel/Dr Strange yet.
2. Black Panther wears a mask, so it's easier to make make concept art without showing the actor's face.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Does anything happen with the X-Men 1st class crew?

Not sure how accurate IMDB is but Apocalypse lists Lawrence, Fassbender and Avoy as part of the cast.

 

[Blader]

They'll be back for Apocalypse, but apparently that movie ends that trilogy. Who knows what follows that, aside from a third Wolverine solo flick.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I don't read the comics...WHAT IS HE KEEPING AT BAY? (you have me intrigued)

Spoiler

The In-Betweener is the embodiment of Chaos and Order and seeks to act upon his nature in an effort to achieve balance (in his own unique way that defies his masters), which leads him into conflict with Galactus (who is in a sense his counterpart). For all his world eating Galactus isn't inherently evil, he's more like a universal necessity that consumes worlds for sustenance so he can continue correcting imbalances in the universe. The Cancerverse (where Death has been conquered and life runs rampant) is an example of what happens when Galactus isn't around.

Marvel & Disney are still on good terms with Capcom. Capcom just can't afford to renew the license.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

You see it move just after it cuts and the focus shifts to Thor's reaction. There are also sound effects for it in the video clip.

X-Force afaik.

 

[Skab]

I'm disappointed there's still no Punisher anywhere in the MCU. He'd be a great fit in a Captain America flick or in the Netflix shows.

Psh, who do you think was driving the Penske truck that saved Fury in Cap 2?

Poor Hulk.

It's -barely- there. The only reason I noticed was because of the clink sound.

Poor Hulk.

What's he mad about? He's about to go on a long vacation very soon!

...Into SPAAAAAAAAAAACE

 

[Buddha Beam]

I hope after the Infinity War movies, they basically retire the MCU or at least just make singular, stand alone movies. After like 11 years, it'll feel time for a retirement or a major drawdown.

I'd like a phase that doesn't necessarily culminate with a big Avengers cross-over.

You got it. Phase 2 culminates with Ant-Man. Enjoy.

It needs to be Spidaman.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

lol we will see, I feel like they've started pushing it that way because Ant-Man will ultimately not be that important to the rest of the MCU.

But basically I want more movies where we can get characters crossing over without it having to be an Avengers movie, and that seems to be happening in phase 3. so I'll probably remain satisfied with whatever they do.

That would not be interesting at all.

Her current solo book is great, but yeah it's not the kind of thing people would want to see in a big blockbuster movie. It's more low-key and would be better as a TV series or something. Black Widow isn't the kind of character that should be headlining a film, she works best in an ensemble film like Avengers. And it doesn't look like Whedon is ignoring her at all (she was crucial in both Avengers and TWS) so I don't see what the fuss is about Scarlett not getting her own movie. Using the slot for Captain Marvel instead is a million times better.

This may have been discussed in this thread already, I haven't read through it all but doesn't Steve Rogers have to die in Infinity Wars Part 1. Isn't Chris Evans only contracted for 3 more movies? Age of Ultron, Civil War and Infinity Wars Part 1?

I don't think the contracts matter as much as people kept saying, as far as Phase 3 goes. Marvel is firing on all cylinders, the actors seem to have their contracts in mind but aren't ready to jump out as soon as they're fulfilled. Like RDJ they seem to be in a place where they just want to complete the vision they signed on for, and will probably adjust their contracts accordingly so they can appear in the movies they should be in.

After phase 3 is when they should expect to start losing cast members, at which point I'm hoping they can sign them for minor transition roles (like Steve passing the shield on to Bucky) before recasting them for their next solo movies.

 

[jmood88]

Just a thought; is it possible for Black Widow to get a standalone movie that has nothing to do with the Avengers? Could be pre-SHIELD / pre-Avengers era, or post-Avengers for that matter, just not connected to anything happening in the grand scheme of things.

Essentially just a spy movie set within the MCU, much like how Agents of SHIELD is set in the MCU but has virtually nothing to do with what happens in the Avengers-continuum movies (apart form the cross-over with Winter Soldier).

That would not be interesting at all.

 

[MisterHero]

I'm not a fan of Carol Danvers but a Cpt. Marvel vs. Hulk fight would be awesome in live action

 

[BlastProcessing]

Other than the fact that they could have just negotiated an extra film for him, they could easily solve this with story.

For instance, Civil War could end with Cap quitting and going off the grid. Infinity Wars: Part 1 could have Bucky holding the shield. At the end of part one the team is shattered with Thor falling. So Tony has to go and find Cap and make peace because he is the only person Tony can think of that can wield the hammer.

 

[Kain]

Forget MVC, why not a full fledge Avengers action game? Marvel is swimming in bazillions of money, hire Platinum and blow everyone's minds already.

 

[Vyrance]

Hoping they go crazy enough to make Moon Knight and Sleepwalker movies in a future phase
