SHIELD is funded by the U.S. government through the ATCU now.
Is this from AoS, too? https://twitter.com/whihofficial/status/726818752092770305
Roxxon is everywhere. It was in Iron Man 3, AoS, and Agent Carter iirc.
I know but I thought about the Antarktis stuff, which sounded a little bit random and I thought that it may be connected to AoS
... But while spraking about it, what was Elektras deal with them in Daredevil again? I remember it beei something ethical wrong, was it maybe that?
My buddy learned a valuable lesson today. He follows a bunch of comic pages on Facebook and one of them spoiled Civil War for him. Anyway, just a heads up if you do a similar thing. What sucks though is he was supposed to go with me to see it but now he doesn't want to. I hate going to the movies by myself.
But why? Its still a great movie and its fun to watch the plot unfold and see the greatest action scene in superhero cinema
I appreciate and like what they do and I know that they have just limited stuff that they can do with that Twitter account, but whats the point in bringing up a 10 year old storyline? It should be more about the more recent events...
He's one of those "I read it on Wiki and that's good enough" types. Now that he knows what happens he doesn't care to see it. It's super annoying.
Question:
Several filmmakers have tried to turn Watchmen into a movie and failed. One issue Hollywood has always had with the material is that it requires an intimate familiarity with the superhero genre in order to fully appreciate it. Does the fact that Watchmen is finally being made into a movie indicate something has changed in the culture?
edit: whoops. wrong thread, but it sort of fits here better anyway. Interesting to see the change in reaction to the MCU over the past 8 years.

It's funny how no one gave a shit about this interview back when it actually happened but suddenly 8 years later it's been posted multiple times in several threads in the past week.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
A non-update on Most Wanted, from Deadline. Some people were wondering what happened to it. http://deadline.com/2016/04/pilots-2016-buzz-apb-conviction-1201745460/

Hayley's starring in another ABC Show, RIP Agent Carter
Was Agent Carter cancelled or is this just the first sign that it likely was?

It's probably cancelled, but in case it's not, she has it written into her contract that she'll do both shows. Dat Marvel Money...
Technically, Iron Man 2 is set in 2011 so it's only a 5-year-old storyline. And it seems to play in well with Civil War's themes, anyway.
So there's still hope.

After watching Civil War again...
The 117 nations of the UN is intriguing. There are 193 real life member nations of the UN, so this implies that the geographical makeup of the MCU is very different from reality. Obviously Sokovia and Wakanda are fictional, but have they taken the place of an actual country? Wakanda looked like it would be where Burundi is on the map in CW, while Sokovia looks about where Slovakia or Hungary would be.
I wonder if that 117 number was something they plucked out of nowhere or if there is an actual map in Feige's office that describes the global borders of the MCU.

That's true. It was never stated that it was all the countries. I just assumed that a UN resolution passing and adopting the Accords would be binding on all members.
Since Wakanda is a signatory to the Accords, that would technically put them in breach since they're
harbouring the Winter Soldier now
And if the Accords are only adopted by 117 countries, then Cap's Avengers could seek refuge in the 70+ countries that didn't sign on... and that they would have free reign to continue operating in those countries. It seems counter-intuitive that the Accords would be non-binding since they are meant to establish a complete global oversight for superheroes.

Seeing that pic, it's insanely impressive all they've built in less than a decadeHappy birthday to the MCU. Iron Man came out 8 years ago, and time just flew by.
Photoshop collage incoming!
For extra nostalgia: Iron Man trailer.
It's impressive looking at the MCU schedule now compared to 8 years ago and seeing the world they built within the timeframe.
Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk came out in 2008, then there was a two-year gap, then Iron Man 2 in 2010, then Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, with The Avengers wrapping it all up in 2012. Then it was full-steam ahead from Phase 2 onward.
Really? I'd say his aging has been pretty accurate. I just watched IM the other day and made a note of how young he looked.

Luke Cage, and it's not the same character. It's also not the first time an actor plays multiple roles in the MCU.

speaking of Scarlett, in Civil War, does BW end up sporting the GOAT hair like this photo seemed to indicate she would?
I don't know but those shoes need to go. Jesus.
Thanks and thanks. Just hoping it could be a solid character connection from the films to tv but alas not.
The only other official WHiH things are the YouTube and Google+.
ugh. Do they at least make note of why her hair is brunette in this film?

C'mon Infinity Wars...
It's not.
Except it's not. It looks brighter in the movie, especially in the airport scene. But it's also more muted, as are all the colors overall. Like, I'm not an expert in all the hair dye shades between redhead and brunette, but even in those pics you can see the scene and ambient lighting (even color correction I assume) making even the skin tone look different.
In any case, she changes her hair every movie, I'm not sure why you'd expect an explanation for it.

Because she's consistently a redhead regardless? and it has nothing to do with lighting, the off set photos show the hair in the exact same colour.
I thought it was likely a disguise (for whatever reason) and would lead into a reveal that she's secretly sporting this iconic 80s look since Scarlett IRL has the exact same hair and dyed it red in those pics.
