Has Adams been confirmed as Night Nurse? I know Claire Temple in DD is confirmed not to be, but last I heard Amy Adams didn't have an officially announced role yet

Well, Dawson's character was originally going to be Night Nurse.. but then the film division said they had possible plans for the character, so Dawson became an amalgamation of several Night Nurses in terms of what she does.

McAdams could turn out to be the official Night Nurse but unless I missed an announcement (entirely possible), I don't know that it's confirmed.

 

[JoseLopez]

In Daredevil?

In Doctor Strange?

That sucks but why not cast Rosario Dawson? Like do they not care about continuity or what?

 

[Cerium]

That sucks but why not isn't it Rosario Dawson? Like do they not care about continuity or what?

It's pretty obvious that Feige doesn't consider the TV shows to be part of the same continuity.

Yeah no. They wrote AoS around AoU with a thirty second tie in at the end of one episode.

Ugh then why force the shows to talk about the stupid bs that happens in the films.

Still counts!

Also the helicarrier? Coulson was stashing it.

Still bloody counts

If that were true they wouldn't restrict the shows on characters and plotlines. The movies don't take the shows into account because they're bigger in every way. Money, time, scheduling, etc... Are all bigger and harder to change on the fly.

 

[Htown]

Could Cap beat Jessica Jones or Luke Cage?

I only saw the JJ pilot, which didn't really show what the extent of her powers would be.

It's hard to tell exactly how strong JJ is, because the show isn't really about pushing her physically, but mentally and emotionally. The real problem is that compared to Captain America, Jessica can't fight for shit. Since she's not really all that invulnerable physically, Cap would clean her clock.

Luke Cage is an entirely different problem. I feel like he's portrayed as less physically strong than Jessica, but he's a damn tank with unbreakable skin. That matchup is less about fighting skills and more about just doing enough damage to put him down before he wears you down.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Rachel McAdams. Not Amy Adams.

Whoops! Edited

 

[Htown]

Yes he does. He just assumes, correctly, that more people watch the movies than the TV shows, so you don't have to watch the TV shows to figure out what goes on in the movies.

My friend who hasn't seen anything Marvel, but was really into Jessica Jones was like

I assume it's a combination of both these reasons. They need to keep the TV shows from exploring important plot-points because 95% of your movie audience won't have seen them and you can't have them be lost. Likewise movies are a lot less flexible than TV scheduling-wise and I imagine would be hell on actor contracts as well. It's hard to plan where you want these characters to be 5 years down the road anyway, let alone if they need to be bouncing between formats all the time

 

[The Artisan]

Spidey is a helluva lot more of a public figure than Daredevil. As are his villains.

right but in his current state in the mcu? he isn't. not yet.

Spider-Man is a member of the Avengers for a decade now. There was one time, were he also just went into a UN meeting and told everyone to get their shit together.

yes but in the mcu he's still technical street level. at least that's my understanding of it.

Spidey's powerset alone enables him to involve himself in any level of event he wants to. So the only restriction on him getting involved is desire.

MCU DD isn't capable of that yet in addition to his focus being his own neighborhood

i wasn't debating his abilities/capabilities. just his reputation & where he currently makes berth as a vigilante.

It hurts ;_;

it hurts real bad why doesn't feige want to bring out the tv show superheroes more?

Shiiiiiit

BP just On Your Left'd Cap.

It will be contract issues. If they give them the big aaa movie money, they wil be obiviously want more money for the TV show.

I mean I don't care if he couldn't possibly know that reference, that has to be the line lol

is it confirmed that rachel mcadams is playing night nurse? if it is then it might just be a different "night nurse" instead of a recast. if not, then maybe she's not playing her at all.

if that's the case, then they could just offer the same amount for the film role to avoid that issue.

shit, if I had a role in a marvel property I wouldn't care if I was being paid the same amount twice even if it's TV ---> movie.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Daredevil has Night Nurse in everything but name, but neither the films nor the TV shows are exactly rushing to give characters code names anyway. So chances are even if Night Nurse is used in Doctor Strange as a code name, it'll be used once and never mentioned again. I mean shit, Doctor Strange won't be used much either.

Haha yeah good point, its not like the characters in the comic go around calling him Doctor Strange, they just call him Stephen.

And I would make it for free. But these people earn their money with acting.

Is this BP superhuman or peak human?

(Assuming Cap is considered superhuman)

He seems to be pulling away from Cap in that chase scene, and going toe to toe with Bucky, so I'm guessing superhuman.

What? He's very clearly stronger than Jessica. You can see that in

the bar fight scene, when he's going after the bus driver, the final fight scene...

Which makes absolutely no sense because being super strong goes hand in hand with a level of invulnerability. Otherwise her legs would crumble to goo after a super jump and her hands would would be ground into meat when balling up metal.

From what I remember, Charlie Cox has movies written into his contract so they at least consider it. And I assume the same goes for Ritter, Coulton and whoever they cast as Iron Fist.

Personally, I don't mind the three MCU strands (movies, Netflix shows, ABC shows) to be more or less separate with some overlap here and there and the movies setting the main course of where the universe is going. Do I want DD, JJ and Luke to show up in the movies? Of course, I'd love it. Do I think it's necessary? The way Feige and co. have set up the world, not really. At least not yet.

 

[Cloyster]

Seriously, guys. If Spiderman doesn't win at least one fight against another Super, I call shenanigans.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Spiderman can beat bullseye hawk dude. Maybe little tiny insect man.

Anyone bigger in tier and then it becomes a "why isn't he in the Avengers?"

I see it the same way. And I understand 100% that Feige doenst want to care about a Netflix TV show that will be seen by a couple of hundred thousand people when he is making movies that make billions.

He'll win the moral fight by telling both sides that with great etc comes yadda yadda yadda.

 

[Seesaw15]

Is Tony still using his extremis ptsd suits? Hopefully its explained during the fight that Cap can only use his shield and Bucky can only fight with his right arm.Otherwise all those punches seem silly.

 

[IndoAssassin]

So what I want to know is is Dr. Strange movie an origin story? Because if it is, then how does Black Widow know about Stephen Strange in the Avengers movie?

It's not impossible for the movie to be released after Captain America: The Winter Soldier while taking place previously in the timeline. Same shit happened with Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. Hell, technically the first Captain America movie does this as well to an extreme.

 

[Anung]

Wait, what?

They mention him in The Winter Soldier as a person of interest who Hydra are monitoring. It could still take place before the origin though as the whole plan was the AI could guess what people are important and kill them.

The Iron Man armor is far from indestructible. At the end of the day, it's sheetmetal and sheetmetal dents given enough force. Considering Bucky and Steve are high on Super Soldier serum, AND have enough strength to catch a vibranium disc mid-air, the both of them using Tony as a Rock 'Em Sock Ém robot isn't that far fetched. Especially when you consider Cap jumping down that helicarrier in Winter Soldier and rus off like it ain't no thing. The comics might spell "The Indestructible Iron Man", but in the MCU, he's far from it.

Black Widow doesn't mention him though, Hydra Shield dude does... I think.

At any rate, he's a famous heart surgeon in the comics. I can see why Hydra would want to eliminate someone like that - Sega Zola 64 might think he can replace The Hulk's heart with an arc reactor or some shit.

No you are right. The other poster must have just mixed films/characters up.

I can accept that Bucky and Steve are abnormally strong. I cannot, however, accept that they hit with a greater force than a fired tank shell. Because that's what Ironman took in the first movie, and it barely slowed him down. So atleast within the ballpark of that amount of force is what they have to be hitting him with.
