This makes me wonder, why don't we get more cameos or casting-gags.
I mean we have Stan Lee or Lou Ferigno every once in a while, but why not get more actors or people with a Marvel history in other minor roles?

I feel like that's a lot of effort for gags that only a few people will appreciate. Most people don't know or care that Cap's actor was already Johnny Storm.

Bleeding Cool seems to think that a Marvel/Sony produced Spider-Gwen film is a distinct possibility since Ike Perlmutter is really keen on the character.

eh...I don't think introducing alternate universe characters is a great idea for the MCU. I guess it could kinda work? but she would be a clone, a reskinned jessica/anya or something crazy- no way to make the character 1:1 with what's in the book.
Ike you senile old fuck, stop screwing around with characters nobody cares about and don't be such a cheapskate.

I think part of the idea is to make people care about them though.
I don't think they will. I think some characters will just stay in team movies and shows and Hawkeye is probably one of them. There are only so many movies and shows they can make and going forward they will probably want to spend more and more resources expanding and diversifying the roster.
Kate Bishop? Maybe. Family man Hawkguy? No.
A Kate Bishop series? Please make it so, Marvel.

Hawkguy decides to retire to his family, but first trains his replacement.
This is relevant to my interests.

This article clarifies the rights situation for the Hulk and indicates that Universal is not an obstacle in making a solo Hulk film.

Realistically, they are an obstacle though. As long as they retain first right of refusal, there is no reason for Disney to want to make such a film. Marvel can only produce so many films a year, and there's no reason to divert resources to a film which would benefit a competitor. Spider-man is a unique situation because Spider-man is -really- popular. Hulk, not so much.

The source article (a British tabloid) talks about her being considered for Blink and Boom Boom by Disney executives, but both of those characters are mutants over at Fox. This story is made up bullshit.

This just reminds me that I need to see Selma. Hopefully she does a great job with this one if true.

A little skeptical about the source, but good news if true.
Screenrant is reporting that Umberto Gonzales is saying Kenneth Brannagh may return to direct Thor: Ragnorok.

I'm not familiar with her, but going by reactions here she is a good choice.
Also, I'd love Branagh back for Thor.
Definitely okay with this.
Kenneth Branagh was sorely missed in Thor: The Dark World. I hope he really comes back.

Agreed.
IMO, Thor 1 was the most "beautiful" of the MCU movies. Great Cinematography, amazing set and concept design in the form of Asgardian stuff, did a really wonderful job of transforming on of the more "hokey" Marvel heroes into something that was more believable and you could take more seriously.

HELL YES!!
Hope Branagh comes back, Ragnarok needs him to prevent other TDW (even if i really liked it)
What do all those stories have in common? The main character is an unassuming "normal" guy who gets forced into a magical larger world where he must do great things. They're also dorky leads. This makes it easily relatable to the nerd culture audience and the common joe. Thor is a confident and arrogant thunder god with a perfect physique. Basically an out of style action hero from the 80s. That's why he's considered "hokey". It's not the setting, it's the character.
