Supposedly the plot for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was leaked on 4chan:

It actually seems rather plausible, despite coming from 4chan.

I get that 4chan movie leaks aren't always reliable, but there's still a decent chance that the leak may turn out legitimate. Either way, I'm avoiding this like the plague.

More like a super safe guess based on the cast.

Michael Keaton on Marvel.
https://deadline.com/2016/12/michael-keaton-ray-kroc-mcdonalds-the-founder-interview-1201866996/

DEADLINE: Did you ever imagine that here we are, talking about these atom-splitting moments with fast food and the Internet, and that conversation you described is probably when the atom got split on the superhero movies that are now the most prized studio commodities?

KEATON: That is one hundred percent right, and no, I don’t think of things like that, especially at the time. It hits me in various times. The further you get from events, you start to look at it from a little distance, position and height, and you get it. I have thought about the way things have changed, because I just did Spider-Man, and Marvel? That is one well-oiled machine. It is remarkable how they have got that whole thing covered in a really qualitative way.

DEADLINE: What impressed you most?

KEATON: Just how efficient it is, in the best sense, and how it operates on a practical level. How organized they are about what they make and how conscientious they are about what they have. They’ve got really wonderful actors for one thing, but I guess that has always been the case. Batman always had great actors surrounding that character. We had Pat Hingle and all these terrific actors. They really get that script is important, and they really protect their lore and that culture and they see the enormity of it, on a capitalistic level.

DEADLINE: Their accomplishment on Captain America: Civil War showed that. Not only did they tell an absorbing story that set up the next two Avengers films, they set up the Black Panther spinoff and introduced Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming, which you co-star in.

KEATON: A great kid, by the way. That doesn’t sound easy to do. I haven’t seen any of those movies, though. I just haven’t. It’s not a judgment.

Ayesha is not traditionally an Eternal and there's really no reason to rewrite her as one when there's a whole roster of Eternals to pick from.

I don't like the liberties being taken with some of the Guardians related characters thus far as it is. Yondu is like the one exception.

I'm also fine with Drax but they need to make him more powerful and a better fighter.

Man that Thor fire is tragic. Fakest looking fire of them all. It even disappears into edges that aren't there.

 

[Mix Master]

It would be lovely if the Netflix characters (Daredevil, Luke, Iron Fist) got to step more to the forefront in the movie-verse once Iron Man and Cap hand over the reigns...but that probably won't happen.

I saw Rogue One last night and people loved the Guardians trailer. LOVED it. Lots of laughs for Rocket, Baby Groot and Drax' joke at the end. That movie's gonna do well.

Interesting theory concerning Damage Control

Interesting theory concerning Damage Control

Always sad to see TV and Movie side not working together.

 

[duckroll]

TV side takes Inhumans, movie side takes Damage Control? That's like, the worst possible swapping possibility. Lol.

 

[Pachimari]

It makes a lot of sense really. Even the lady looks like the director. And the whole "DODC" thing. Would be cool if we got a Damage Control cameo in every single MCU film going forward.

[edit] Hmm, seems filming for Avengers: Infinity War isn't officially starting until January 23.

Yeah we are getting that "For myself" line. And it will be one hell of a moment. I can see the GIFs now.

Fine, fine, fine. But I want this more than that Loki moment:

SKURGE! Motherfucking Skurge!

Only thing that could get me more hyped for this film is if they drop Beta Ray Bill in a teaser. My nerd boner would be visible from space if that happened.

World just aint ready for Beta Ray Bill on screen. Cant have him coming in and making everyone else look bad.

Please, Feige. Please. The world needs Beta Ray Bill so badly, even if they can't handle it.

lol @ that press release

No one is going to see these movies because of the award nominations of the actors, fuck outta here. Took longer to read than it should have.

 

[Green Mamba]

Thor has such a cool cast of supporting characters, Thor 2 was such a waste.

 

[FusedAtoms]

That cast is ridiculous. I'm really curious how the movies are going to balance that many characters well while still giving Thanos his due, thats why i really like the idea of the first movie being from Thanos' perspective I believe Thanos Quest is the comic I see people mentioning all the time.

 

[DieH@rd]

So Fury is in. Shame there is no Coulson.

No Spider-man? Kinda shocked.

Mighty Avengers set up.

They're probably saving him for the Avengers film after Infinity War. I imagine we won't be seeing all of these characters in that one.

They are not going to spoil the aftercredit here.

 

[Pachimari]

I expect many more heroes to show up than just those in the press release. They also said new heroes would debut.

But my biggest worry. What about Mantis!?

Why should they spoil that she will join the Guardians? Just people who follow every tweet of James Gunn and consume every small news snippet know this.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Captain Marvel joining is no surprise.

Only thing that would genuinely shock me is...

 

[Hydrargyrus]

I hope will see Spider-man in the inifity war part 2 at least

 

[SpaceWolf]

I'll be crushed if Spider-Man doesn't make it into Infinity War. He's Marvel's flagship character, it wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[fallengorn]

Captain Marvel joining is no surprise.

Only thing that would genuinely shock me is...

What if Infinity War is about Thanos paying Luke Cage $200 to track down the stones?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Why should they spoil that she will join the Guardians? Just people who follow every tweet of James Gunn and consume every small news snippet know this.

Because they already did?

 

[Neoxon]

No Spider-Man or Mantis is kinda weird. Hopefully the latter survives GotG Vol. 2.

First thought was where's Wasp? Then I looked at the release schedule and saw Ant-Man 2 is out after Infinity War.

Then I looked at 2017 release schedule. I think it could be the best year for Marvel ever.

Spiderman
Guardians 2
Ragnarok

It's certainly the best year -yet- since it's the first year with three films. But It is also likely that all three will be strong films as well.

On the TV side we also have Inhumans and Defenders mini series, and Punisher and Iron Fist. So it will definitely be a big year for the MCU.

John Carmack(creator of DOOM) on Iron Man

In most media, most of the time, genius is presented as a super power -- the character solves the puzzle or builds the MacGuffin Machine at the right time, because that's the role to be played. They might as well have been bitten by a radioactive spider.

Every once in a while, it makes me happy to see a portrayal of a character hard at work in the workshop / garage / laboratory, with an implication that they spend much of the off-panel time there. Maybe too much time.

Even Tony Stark has to put in the hours.

The first Iron Man movie was remarkable in showing a path of dozens of failures before success in the flight hardware, and made engineering failure modes an actual plot device -- Iron Monger didn't do enough ice testing.

There was one early episode of House that showed him up all night, surrounded by open books, grimly working the problem. Not repeated, as far as I remember.

On the other hand, I had a discussion after Iron Man 3 with someone that thought the whole idea of Stark being able to come in as an outsider to the Extremis research project and almost off-handedly provide a key insight was absurd. I disagreed; a prepared mind full of expert knowledge often can provide a startling insight without obvious effort. The effort happened in the thousands of hours getting there.

Its the wrong parrot

 

[tomtom94]

During a recent Periscope Q&A, Gunn was asked directly if he'll be directly involved with bringing the Marvel Cinematic Universe together in Infinity War.

His answer was short and sweet: "Yes, I'm involved in Infinity War."

I suspect this means he'll be chatting with the other guys in the studio space and maybe offering suggestions on the Guardians' dialogue, but certainly interesting.

 

[The Kree]

I imagine he sits at a table and he goes, "Yeah, I like that, but this part needs more green" and then they pay him a hundred thousand dollar consulting fee.
