Yes please

The MCU works as its own thread since it's all a single continuity. It is like a TV series in which the episodes are spread REALLY far apart. New threads for new news get posted all the time in OT but it's still nice to have a place that sums up everything we currently know and provides an opportunity for general speculation and discussion.

I totally agree with this.

There should be a DCCU thread but a general comic movie thread would turn into a war quick. 80% of it would be fighting.

This, they should be kept separate (even though a lot of us would be in both).

Guardians broke $700M.

Guardians.

And now we'll see even more revisionist history of how it wasn't a risk, ever.

That would be an amazing TV show!

Are you joking or just being annoying?

It's a running gag, a lot of people (wrongly) argued that The Avengers looked like one.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm surprised there's not a DCCU thread, considering the first MCU thread went up once there was a solid release list following Avengers.

We have been given no indication that any of the DC films will be better than Man of Steel. I'm personally not that excited about this giant DC venture.

Ohhh. It made me think of the Avengers complaint, but I wasn't sure.

DCCU technically doesn't exist yet.

Well, we've got Terrio instead of Goyer, hopefully for all the major DC films. I've got faith in him at least putting together something interesting instead of the snoozefest that was MoS.

I liked Argo but IMO he hasn't really put together a sufficient body of to get me excited simply based off his name.

It's all about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. If that is exceedingly great then I will have some reason to get excited about this initiative. If it is terrible or simply marginal then his name will mean nothing going forward (as it relates to this series of films).

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah we'll see, I just think anyone is better than Goyer.

I want to say I'm confident because they should know how important these properties are, but then you look at how they handled Superman (both recent attempts).

Basically I think Marvel has proven that they will treat the characters and stories with the care and respect they deserve, and outside of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, I don't think WB/DC has shown that at all. I really want it to be the case but TDKR and MoS were both huge duds in my opinion.

But now we're talking about DC too much in a Marvel thread.

I want my AoU trailer NOW.

From the SHIELD thread, here is Mockingbird's suit revealed:

Palacki was great in the role last night and she looks excellent, I really hope what she said about her maybe appearing in the movies in the future is true.

Painfully obvious she's going to be Wasp with that haircut.

Shots fired.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

the hype is so HYPE

 

[Pai Pai Master]

So, Serkis' character really reminds me of Ulysses Klaw. Anyone else?

I think that's pretty much everyone's guess. Don't know who else rocks a Lincoln beard in Marvel.

 

[danielcw]

What happend to force them?

Some (if not all) international versions got released as well, by the way.

Adam McKay is in talks with Marvel to direct a film.

What is your deal with Marvel? Do you have a shot at directing one of their big characters?

I just did a big rewrite on Ant-Man with Paul Rudd and had such a great time working with them that we’re kicking around ideas. But yeah, maybe I would take on one of the characters so we haven’t locked in anything, but discussions are definitely going on.

Evangaline's hair looks turrible.

It's the face. That's not a flattering picture of her with Douglas.

 

[Pachimari]

Is Klaw an enemy of Black Panther?

 

[yankeehater]

Is Klaw an enemy of Black Panther?

Yes, seems like a lot of BP references in that trailer.

Yes.

Hail HYDRA!

I been wondering how the hell Von Struker and Whitehall remained without aging all this time? Could be that somehow HYDRA replicated some of the effects of the super soldier serum or they have Futurama cryotechnology?

I wonder if strucker will have his weapon he usually saps other people of their str, he is an old man otherwise. Who knows with them being in possession of the Tesseract though.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm guessing Whitehall will be how they introduce the Infinity Formula into the MCU. It's pretty broken to give it to Fury, but maybe they reveal that Bucky and Whitehall both have it.

I thought the patterns Coulson was drawing was gonna be that, but now Skye says it's a map. A map from an alien blood transfusion. LOL

As someone else said, it doesn't have to be a map to a place, it could be a DNA map.

There hasn't been an indication so far that the MCU Strucker isn't just a regular guy, born in modern times. Whitehall still being young, I guess will be revealed later in Season 2 of AoS.

Oof, not the best shot for Lilly.

What the hell. She looks like a 50 years old woman in that pic.

 

[johnsmith]

Maybe she's playing both Janet and Hope, and that's her as Janet?

 

[BLACKLAC]

Shots fired.

Notice how the drone is blue and white while Ultron is red and white? ......

Doubt it's a coincident.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I dunno she looks like she's been crying. And Pym looks like he's been shot.

Here's a great article on the history of Dr. Strange.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Newsarama reporting that Marvel has invited a bunch of websites and movie sites to some type of presentation/event next Tuesday in LA:

Marvel Studios is taking a page from Silicon Valley, and issued a surprise, and mysterious, invitation for Tuesday, October 28. The invitations, extended to Newsarama and other sites that cover comic book movies, says nothing other than the date, the morning time, and the location of the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles. The invitation certainly brings to mind what Apple has done when announcing a major product in the past. It does specify the event is a Marvel Studios one, not Marvel Comics.

Maybe they'll finally give out some more info about their upcoming schedule.

Interesting

Argh if its a major announcement feel like got kicked in the nuts by both DC and Marvel for skipping out on NYCC for any major movie news!

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

At least they specified its for Marvel Studios this time, unlike the Secret Wars announcement from a couple weeks ago.

 

[yankeehater]

They are announcing they got the Spiderman rights!!!!!!
