But Cap is obviously the right choice, I'm Team Cap.


Also that trailer is so goddamn outstanding I'm so excited.

 

[Frozen Canadian]

PK being half-latino, half-black is perfect for the role, definitely.

#NotMySpiderman

Because PK Subban is a dickhead, you see

BP SO GOOD

 

[Drunken Master]

Oh my god I can't wait anymore

 

[Zeyphersan]

Happened to catch the MCU Wikipedia page during a time when the title for the Spider-Man movie had been changed. It was reverted when I refreshed

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That title would make no sense

 

[Zeyphersan]

That title would make no sense

Of course not. Trust me, I don't think it's real, and I'm not posting here because it has a chance of being real. Just thought it was funny I caught something within the 2 seconds it probably existed

Edit: Unless something happens in Civil War that he would have to "return" from, but again, little to no chance.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Spider-Man Returns sounds like one of these shitty made up undertitles for movienames that dont make any sense but are always made for germany...

Amazing Spider-Man 2 was supposed to be called Spider-Man 2: The Return of the Superhero...

 

[Glass Rebel]

edit: so what's the word on that Mockingbird spinoff? Marvel's Most Wanted? Is it still on track? I haven't kept up with Agents of SHIELD because I've been busy so I don't know what direction they're moving towards.

It was shelved but not completely tossed as a concept.

Shelved? It never got shelved. They are still planning a pilot.

It was shelved. The original plan was for it to be a pilot for this year and they scrapped that and kept the characters in AoS for this season.

Hmm, interesting. I feel like they've missed that opportunity. They could have introduced sort of a backdoor pilot in AoS but I feel like taking Bobbi and Hunter out will only hurt both shows.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/12/agents-shield-spinoff

ABC entertainment president Paul Lee ultimately decided not to move forward with the network’s planned Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff because new additions to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s second season—who would have been the spinoff’s focus—have arguably helped the Marvel series hit its “creative stride.”

That was as of May.

Then in August this happened: http://www.avclub.com/article/abc-orders-pilot-agents-shield-spinoff-which-isnt--224191

After months of heming-and-hawing about whether it was or wasn’t launching a spinoff of superhero spy series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., ABC has finally announced that it’s giving a pilot order to a new show based around Adrianne Palicki’s character Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse. But because nothing can apparently be easy with this story, the network also announced that the new program, Marvel’s Most Wanted, is no longer being considered a spinoff from S.H.I.E.L.D., even though it stars two characters—Mockingbird, and her ex-husband, Nick Blood’s Lance Hunter—who regularly appear on the show.

So it was Shelved.. then after the currently-airing season of AoS was mapped out, it was retooled and a pilot ordered.. but even then that doesn't mean the series will be a go. It could still be killed after the pilot is made. All this really means is that Bobbi and Hunter won't be irreplacable after this season. Though trust that if the Pilot bombs internally.. they'll still be big characters in AoS in some way. The audience reception for them has been great.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Yeah, I honestly don't get what ABC/Marvel is saying there. How is that not a spin-off if it features Bobbi?

Tom Holland really is into his preparation for Spider-Man, love it.

“I went to this gym yesterday where they strap electric belts on you and you do exercise whilst being electrocuted,” he said. “It's a really strange experience. It's like a dull tingling but I'm definitely feeling it today. I have to do 20 minutes once a week. Marvel are quite against us doing our own stunts [though].” Jumping in a bouncy house is another exercise method that Holland is utilizing to prepare him for his web-slinging role. “I’ve just been given this new gymnastics mat called an AirTrack, which basically you just plug in and it blows up and it’s a huge bouncy castle that you can bounce around in in your garden,”

And here's Zoe Saldana getting into her Gamora look for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2:

And this is what I really wanted to hear:

Joe Russo: "When people leave the theatre, they’re going to be arguing about who was right in the movie, whether it was Tony, or whether it was Cap.

On Black Panther:

Joe Russo: "It’s a combination of a practical costume and VFX. It’s a vibranium weave, a mesh, almost like a chainmail. Luminescence is something we have to do in post. He’s there for a very different reason which brings him into conflict with Cap and his team. His motivations are not their motivations."

On Baron Zemo:

Joe Russo: "Zemo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not Zemo from the comics, and what’s interesting and surprising is that we don’t always honour the mythology from the books. One, because it’s predictable and two, it’s not servicing the story in the way we want. So, if Zemo were in this movie, I think people should expect that it’s going to be something fresh and exciting."

From the first article they cite that removing Bobbi and Hunter was a negative for AoS. In the second article they say that B&M arent in it. Most likely is that they removed Bobbi and Hunter from Most Wanted and bringing in fresh characters?

 

[Pachimari]

But in a recent interview with Adrianne Palicki, it really seems like they are working on Most Wanted with Mockingbird and Hunter. Her being so coy about it, really gives me the feel of them trying to work it out still. Of course they can cancel it, but that's were we hope, that they'll see a purpose with the pilot internally.

And from the Cap thread:

Phase 2 Blu ray boxset has a copy of the Sokovia Accords:

And from the Cap thread:

There's a name missing from that. Hm.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

You mean Bruce?

He's AWOL and if this whole thing is Ross' idea, he probably wouldn't include Banner in it anyways. He is probably a kill on site target like Bucky is.

 

[Jest Chillin]

From the first article they cite that removing Bobbi and Hunter was a negative for AoS. In the second article they say that B&M arent in it. Most likely is that they removed Bobbi and Hunter from Most Wanted and bringing in fresh characters?

That second article states that Bobbi and Hunter are still in it.

Instead, The Hollywood Reporter says that Marvel and ABC are “changing course” for the new series, with a “new take focusing on the same duo and their continuing adventures,”

Same duo means it's still Bobbie and Hunter. It's all just PR spin because they couldn't figure out if they wanted to take the chance on the show. Bobbi and Hunter are legitimately enjoyed by the fans on AoS though but at this point that cast is pretty damn large so something's got to give at some point.

[More_Badass]

So how are we expecting Spidey to be introduced and play a role in Civil War?

Considering that Feige said Parker has already been active in the MCU, I'm imagining they're going to treat Spider-Man as an urban legend and then as the public face/a PR move for the Accords. A vigilante, now look at him, working with Iron Man as a sanctioned hero with a fancy new suit.

I'm assuming that's how Parker gets his official Spider-Man suit too, beforehand just having his slapped together basic outfit.

And I bet he'll turn up during the three-way beatdown to even the odds

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I'm just glad that Spidey will be introduced. I'm looking forward to a Winter Soldier sequel and everything but damned if I'm not excited for his MCU debut.

Yeah, I think we basically will hear about him a lot in the movie. "This new kid with untold power is just doing what he wants in Nyc...He is stopping purse burglars and bank robbers for now but what if he becomes some kind of..menace?" BLAHBLAH fear mongering etc.

And yeah. That 2v1 on Tony is the perfect moment for him to come out, stop all 3 from fighting and talk some sense into them. But I do think he'll also be a part of the big airport brawl.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I am always starting to grin just when I think that I finally get a MCU Spidey... I am more excited for him than for anything else
I will be utterly disappointed, when he will be there for just a couple of minutes
But the outlook, that he will have

Spoiler

an awesome fight with Captain America choregraphed by the Winter Soldier fight choreographers, will deliver it for me.

I just hope that he doesnt make his name public and other sheenigans. MCU needs Secret Identitys and Spider-Man need this.

EDIT: forgot Guardians Of The Galaxy

Now that Phase 2 is over, and Phase 3 is going to start (or may have already started with Jessica Jones):
How would you rank the main title sequences?
I know, not may people care for that kind of stuff, but a lot of work goes into them, and I like them. I am kinda sad, that many people in cinemas get up during them and pay no attention, and disturb the few of us who would like to enjoy them. Sure I am not the only one here, who cares about them, right

Spoiler

right?

As a reminder:

• Iron Man: colored animated blueprints of the suit, instrumental rock version of I Am iron Man plays: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/iron-man/
• Incredible Hulk: movie opens with montage of Hulk's "new" origin up to Banner hiding in Brazil: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-incredible-hulk/
• Iron Man 2: credits over montage of Whiplash assembling his power source and whips, which also shows some newspapers to bring us up to speed
• Thor: endcredits over flight through space or Bifrost from Earth to Asgard, reuses music from the Thor/Destroyer fight
• Captain America: 3D animated propaganda art: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/captain-america-the-first-avenger/
• Avengers: 3D flight along the tools of the Avengers in storage: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-avengers/
• Iron Man 3 Three: 70s-style montage of the first 3 Iron Man movies, "can you dig it"?: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/iron-man-3/
• Thor - The Dark World: animated 3D colored paintings of the main cast being drawn, no idea what the style is called
• Winter Soldier: 3D espionage-esque animations of SHIELD and HYDRA symbols and the characters: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/captain-america-the-winter-soldier/ (reuses music from the elevator jump and base escape, a different version, that may have been originally meant for the credits, can be heard at the tail end of the regular endcredits)
• Guardians Of The Galaxy: Starlord is the Tomb-Dancer
• Age Of Ultron: camera flight along a statue of the battle against Ultron
• Ant-Man: zoom from space to San Franciso to atoms and beneath, the style is hard to describe for me

Then there are 5 One-Shots:
IIRC the first 2,
"A Funny Thing happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer" and
"The consultant" had simple titles and black endcredits. I can not remember what
"Item 47" and
"Agent Carter" did, but I remember Agent Carter's credits being stylized.
"All Hail The King" used some 70s style animations of the 10 Rings logo.

and last, but not least the TV-series:
"Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D." and
"Agent Carter" have short animated logos.
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s logo was updated with black rock debris (?) for season 3, and one episode had the logo onscreen, stylized to fit the rest of the episodes captions.

"DareDevil" (http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/marvels-daredevil/) and
"Jessica Jones" have full title sequences.



My ranking:
IRON MAN THREE - just puts a smile on my face
Winter Soldier
Avengers
Captain America
Thor 2
Ant-Man
Guardians Of The Galaxy
Agents Of SHIELD
Jessica Jones
DareDevil
Incredible Hulk
All Hail The King
Age Of Ultron
Thor
Iron Man
Iron Man 2

 

[Baroquemantic]

I've watched everything in the MCU so far except Agent Carter and a few episodes of the current season of AoS. I just watched Ant-Man yesterday and it's one of my favorite so far. In my opinion, all the movies so far are awesome, but Ant-Man was so damn good, and a step above several of them. The only real negative I have is the villain. Worst one in the MCU. I also think the movie could've been longer. It felt way too short, like a bunch of stuff was cut or something.

You really think Yellowjacket is worse than Whiplash? Although underdeveloped, at least Darren Cross had some level of dimension to him. All of Whiplash's depth was left on the cutting room floor.

And you know who's worth less than Whiplash? Malekith - we never understand his motivations (bring back the darkness, wut?) or anything about him. He looks ridiculous and wastes the talents of Chris Eccleston.

Agreed that Ant Man could've been longer, but the tight pace doesn't hurt it as much as Age of Ultron's did. Ant Man is my second favorite MCU film behind Winter Soldier.

 

[KimiNewt]

If this happens it needs to cut to J. K. Simmons just before the word "menace" and have him say it.

 

[Pachimari]

I didn't like Yellowjacket, and found him useless, and yet another forgettable throwaway villain. He's not the worst of the MCU though, far from it. There are some who are wasted even more and underdeveloped, like eastx says, Malekith and Whiplash. I find Justin Hammer and Obadiah Stane more forgettable too.

By the way, a new short Agent Carter Season 2 promo is out. Can be seen on Youtube.

 

[Danthrax]

EDIT: forgot Guardians Of The Galaxy

Now that Phase 2 is over, and Phase 3 is going to start (or may have already started with Jessica Jones):

Jessica Jones takes place before Age of Ultron in early 2015, so I think it would count as Phase 2. If anything, Phase 3 started with season three of Agents of SHIELD.

You know what, I honestly forgot about Whiplash and Malekith. Guess that shows how forgettable they were, especially the former, though I personally think Whiplash is the worst of the two. But that's probably not saying much, I guess.

I think I need to rewatch all the movies again, one of these days.

Haven't finished the series yet, but people are probably going on what's not happening in it. And some major things happened to the MCU post AoU, particularly in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Also note that there's snow on the ground and everyone's wearing coats, so it takes place in the winter, and the MCU canon comic for Jessica Jones establishes it as happening after Daredevil season 1 ends, and Daredevil season 1 takes place roughly August to September 2014. So at the earliest, Jessica Jones happens November 2014 and at the latest it happens April 2015. But considering Kilgrave has a thing about anniversaries, it probably picks up in mid-January 2015 and runs until about mid-March.

Tom Holland gives some details on Spider-Man and reveals that filming will take place in Atlanta and New York.

"We’re shooting in Atlanta for most of it, because they have studios there and I think it’s cheaper to build a New York set than it is to shoot here, because it’s going to be very expensive. We probably will end up here (in New York) for one week or two."
