I can imagine after the presumed events building up to Infinity War Loki will turn face and join the heroes?

Especially if there's theory talk of Thanos stomping all over Asgard at some point.

Maybe they're forced to go for him for information.

Doctor Strange filming has wrapped in NYC, according to Scott Derrickson.

 

[LaNaranja]

I'd love it if for the MCU they rewrote Mephisto's role for Loki. Hiddleston playing Thanos' sleazy forced vassal would be incredibly entertaining.

This makes too much sense not to happen.

I am really curious as to what they are going to do for the plot. I personally didn't really like Infinity Guantlet. It was sorta just the Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer show with everyone else as a super minor background character (besides Thanos of course). Drax and Strange got a bit more to do than everyone else but other than that everyone was just there to get killed in one shot.

I dunno if it'll be like Age of Ultron in that its taking the name of an existing book and doing something entirely different but it's probably going to be a loose adaptation of Gauntlet/War at best. To be honest it will likely have more in common with Hickman's Infinity, being more of a standard evil alien overlord invasion story, albeit with less or none of the Inhuman/Thane stuff.

Surely some of the big moments from Infinity Gauntlet will come over but the setup and setting itself will probably be very different.

 

[Fuu]

I really want the finger snap scene from Gauntlet at least.

I'm also curious about how/if they'll approach Thanos and Death... It's such a big part of what makes his character interesting, I hope they find a way to fit that in somehow.

 

[IHaveIce]

We really should have gotten a thanos rising movie inbetween.

We need to get Death, the cosmic abstracts and gods to actually show off how powerful you become once holding the gauntlet

 

[BLACKLAC]

I still say Infinity War part 1 is a Thanos Quest adaption.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I still say Infinity War part 1 is a Thanos Quest adaption.

This would be great. Throw in the Guardians and a small earth sideplot with the Avengers searching for gems and it works.

 

[IHaveIce]

Would be incredible but I foresee the outcries if the movie is labelled with Avengers and the main focus isn't on them

It might be the characters at different parts of the universe witnessing Thanos gathering the gems. Maybe see the GotG attempt to stop him. And then Thor and co. fail at their attempt as well. Keep the characters separate throughout, and then in the end when Thanos gets the gems all together for the first time, the heroes finally all get together and end it on a cliffhanger.
The poster for part 2 will then be a version of one of these two covers:

 

[inky]

Have they talked about showing Thanos's perspective in depth at all?

Previously underused villains and having to give several dozen people something to do across 2 movies doesn't really give me many hopes they would.

Even if they did say anything, it would just be more lip service. Can't really trust that they seriously give a shit about villains in these films.

Well, this is supposed to be THE guy, right. You would hope they'd treat him as a main character, which he is.

But I guess you are right.

Worst part about MCU are the villains.

 

[Macadinho94]

Worst part about MCU are the villains.

With a few notable exception like Wilson Fisk and Loki

 

[evanmisha]

Wasn't the old rumor that Part 1 would be primarily New Avengers with Part 2 bringing back the originals (

Spoiler

Steve gets revived, Thor and Hulk return from jail and space respectively

) for one last hurrah before most of them dip out of the MCU?

 

[inky]

With a few notable exception like Wilson Fisk and Loki

Fisk is MTVU and TV has more time to develop fewer characters. So Loki, basically.

It's a shame. We need some villain centered movies dammit.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Justin Hammer. Adam Pierce was fine, too.

Loki has two movies, tol.

 

[guek]

Red Skull never gets the respect he deserves.

According to Devin, the TV people are blocked from being in movies because of Ike's hissy fit against Feige.

Ike still runs the TV division, right?

hopefully they get this bullshit sorted by the tile avengers 3 drops. it's ridiculous.

Yup

Sony Pictures just registered the web address SpiderManHomecomingTheMovie.com. This may be a leak of what the name of the MCU Spider-Man movie will be.

 

[Pachimari]

I still think that will be for the animated movie coming out as well.

They definitely need to do some sort of Thanos quest, or go the perspective route like others have said.

 

[tomtom94]

They've announced they're shooting parts one and two simultaneously. Does that put to bed the idea of having different heroes in each part? Does it make it more likely it will just end on a sequel-bait cliffhanger?

I'm hoping part 1 ends with the Avengers defeated, all hope lost and maybe the Guardians appear to help.

Or...Have Cap pick up Mjolnir, shout Avengers Assemble and charge towards Thanos.

How apropos.

Spider-Man's finally with his rightful family.

Welcome home, Spidey, Feige will take good care of you.

Black Panther is the character I'm most excited about in the MCU, for some reason even though I don't think I've read any of his comics. He just looks great and unique in this. Now I remember reading something about his role was reduced due to Spiderman, is that true?

 

[olympia]

...Man. It'd be quite the twist if

Spoiler

she turned out to be Microchip, all along.

That would be very cool

Nah, Spidey's inclusion didn't screw over T'Challa in the slightest.

I think what happened was that Spidey's inclusion into MCU Phase 3 bumped Black Panther's solo film on their itinerary, so that might be what you're thinking of.

 

[Interfectum]

Yeah Loki is good but I kinda got tired of him after Thor 2. Though I blame the movie more than his actual character.

The need to get Dr. Doom in there as a recurring villain. Snag the rights from Fox already...

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Hiddleston on Rumors He's Done With Loki: 'Don't Believe Everything You Read'

Rumors swirled last week that Thor: Ragnarok will be Tom Hiddleston's last time playing the villainous fan favorite, Loki. But on the red carpet at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday, Hiddleston told ET we may still see more of him.

"I don't know that I did say that..." he objected, before adding, "Don't believe everything you read."

Lol.

 

[tomtom94]

Speaking of Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi's latest film Hunt for the Wilderpeople is out now (I discovered this while stalking him on Twitter) and it's getting very nice reviews indeed.

Also, he has a writing credit on the next Disney Princess film (and I presume he'll have had a hand in the script rewrites for Ragnarok too)

 

[inky]

I don't even know why that Tom rumor started. He just said they had not told him, so he didn't know. The movie starts shooting later this year right? I'm sure they don't even have all the details of how everyone fits in just yet.

It's also entirely possible that Loki just isn't in Part One. Sure, they're filming back to back but considering how long the shoot will be they may not need him for a while.

 

[mreddie]

I do feel sorry for Tom, that role has been with him since e became him.

 

[Quick]

I do feel sorry for Tom, that role has been with him since e became him.

Why feel sorry for him?

Tom seems to have a lot of fun playing Loki, and the role was his big break to begin with.

 

[guek]

Yup. I fully expect him to take Mephisto's role from Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Even if they did say anything, it would just be more lip service. Can't really trust that they seriously give a shit about villains in these films.

They would have to be really stupid to not treat Thanos as a huge deal by this point.

The real question is the fan expectations.

Ah that's it! Thank you and it's great to hear that his role in this isn't effected.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So much green.

 

[Future Foundation]

I didn't know he had a hand in Moana.

 

[tomtom94]

Yup. (Directors had the idea, he got tapped to write the script, which in and of itself is a good sign.)
