Hm, interesting. That was one of the more curious parts of the trailers for sure. I wonder what that was all about, and why it is ultimately being cut.

Shorter run time for more viewings per day because they're spending like half a billion on this thing.

Well yes, that is the practical reason for most studio demanded film cuts. But there had to be a reason they chose that subplot specifically, and a reason that it was even in the film to begin with.

Apparently most of the subplot of
Thor going to the cave. The woman folks were trying to name is no longer in the movie, I believe the article said.

Can someone point me to a trailer with this scene and around what time it is? I can't seem to find it.

A funny idea occurred to me (but a caveat: I'm sure this has already been put out there).

I think in Infinity Wars, there should be a scene where the Watcher is talking to some other celestial being and says something to the effect of:

"I've been watching these earthlings for quite some time, now. I've been present for quite a number of significant events." and adds "but I usually take this human form to blend in..." And then he morphs into Stan Lee.

I'm fully expecting that they will pay off his cameos in some way like this.

Fox probably has the rights to use the Watcher

In other news, Kevin Feige's contract with Marvel Studios is up in 2018.

But I'm sure he'll stay and continue on. At least, I hope so.

Word on the writers for Captain Marvel

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/captain-marvel-movie-targets-inside-763081
Click to expand...

Heh. Perlman back in 2014:

She was offered several lesser-known Marvel properties to focus on, and she chose Guardians, once again defying expectations despite its obvious match with her sci-fi propensities. She wanted a project where the “super”-ness of the heroes came from their personal histories and their planetary origins, not weird circumstances like radioactive spiders or chemicals.

“I can’t tell you what the other titles were that they were offering up on the table, but I can tell you that one of them was a little bit more appropriate for me, just based on gender,” she says. “I think they were a little taken aback when I chose Guardians, because there were ones that would make a lot more sense if you were a romantic-comedy writer or something like that.”

A She-Hulk movie could be cool! Though I'm actually pretty interested in seeing a Marvel flick that's filtered through a romantic comed-

Oh my God, what if Captain Marvel is a romantic comedy

Mark Ruffalo talks about his role in the MCU and explains the reason there's no solo Hulk film is because Universal still owns the rights.

That's unfortunate. I'd love to see Ruffalo go solo for a flick.

Just think about all of the supporting cast as well. How many people are already a part of the MCU. It's massive.

There's also Agent Carter and Whitehall.

Should come as no surprise but Marvel had multiple Phase 3 plans, with and without Spidey.

Question with Kevin Feige:

You made the Phase Three announcement in October, planning through 2019. Then a few months later, Marvel’s biggest character becomes available. How drastically did the Phase Three plans change when Spider-Man was back in the mix?

As you might have imagined, that had been in the works for a long, long, long, long time. And we had, as we often do, mapped out various alternatives if things don’t happen. So we had a plan how it would continue without him and we have a plan how now it will continue with him. I wouldn’t say it was “drastic” but we were certainly happy when it all came together.

Just a general question but how many more superheroes do Marvel have, which they can give a solo movie to? Besides Punisher, Ghost Rider, MoonKnight and Blade which would probably be better suited for Netflix.

They have Spider-Woman I guess.

Hundreds. Thousands. I wouldn't worry about the exact number.

- Runaways
- Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

Just off the top of my head.

Didn't the same site think that Spider-Man was gonna be in Doctor Strange?
Click to expand...

It's not the site but the author who makes speculations. BUT Richiek is misinterpreting the content of today's Hulk article. Devin believes Planet Hulk was on the table or might be on the table, but he clearly states that nothing is solidified and it might not happen. The real news of the story is that Marvel doesn't have distribution rights for a solo Hulk film, which originally comes from Collider.

This is such a nothing article that is pure speculation based on new news coming to light regarding the character rights.

Hulk will not be in GotG2.
Click to expand...

The article itself is about the Hulk movie rights stuff, which is news. He just added his speculation and analysis to make the article interesting to read, which is good. Not that Devin particularly thinks Hulk will be in GOTG2, but unless you're writing or directing the movie, I don't think you can declare he won't be in it as fact.

You're right, but the guy who is writing and directing GotG has declared as fact that it's not happening...and people still aren't believing it.

Devin Faraci seems pretty sure that Hulk's next MCU appearance will be
Guardians of the Galaxy 2, since Marvel can't make a standalone Hulk film because of Universal.
Click to expand...

Considering Gunn wrote the script for that already and didn't include Hulk... I doubt it.

I think if Hulk is going to show up in any non-Avengers thing, it'll be Doctor Strange or Inhumans since he's hung out with both of them a lot in comics and his powerset would not marginalize theirs in any significant way.

Is that true?
I kinda doubt it. Incredible Hulk happened, and at first glance in many countries Universal (or UIP) wasn't the distributor. Though I am not sure if Universal or UIP has a presence in all those countries.

They can, it would just be distributed by Universal. Dont let us create another strange truthfact for Marvel Movies, just because we reapted something long enough. This is already annoying enough with the myths that were here already established.

It's crazy that I know almost everything going into Age of Ultron, while I knew absolutely nothing when I went to see The Avengers. It's gonna be a different expedience and I'm afraid it will lessen my enjoyment of it.

That said, I will not read spoilers again. I'm going in as blank as I can with the upcoming movies and shows.
