Damn, I love this casting. He is brilliant on Fresh off the Boat! Never thought I would see him in the MCU.

This is the only Spider-Man: Homecoming poster outside of the Mondo one and the yellow jacket one that I have seen that I have liked.
I'm more than okay with this.
Finally one outlet (ComicBook.com) talking about the timeline screw up in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
I hope more report on it and that somebody asks Kevin Feige about it.

MCU is getting so big that we will likely have to let a few things go lol
Continuity is gonna be a mess but at least we are nearing the end of the first MCU timeline with Infinity War
Thats going to be a huge sigh of relief as they figure out where to go next
I did some thinking and I'm pretty sure the timeline makes sense if Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Avengers all take place throughout 2008 (which also means Thor is in that year). The fact that IM2 is six months after IM1 is basically what I'm basing it all off of.
It's definitely workable if you push back and consolidate pretty much all if Phase 1. But that also means that you have to tag Iron Man 3 to pre-2010 as well.
Weirdly enough this actually doesn't break Agents of SHIELD much, if at all, and makes the Defenders timeline a LOT more reasonable. It just makes it kind of odd that, for example, Winter Soldier takes place 5+ years after Avengers.
Do any Phase 2 movies reference other films' events with any specificity? Beyond "they happened before this one" and all.

Bet it is the reveal of the
Black Order.
That or confirmation as to whether or not Captain Marvel will show up.
Hype's through the roof.

For me, that dream is dead.
The movies are really starting to look like a completely different universe to the stuff on TV.
Oh, the dream is absolutely dead, especially now that Infinity War is approaching the end of filming. Occasionally though, I just like to slip back into a deranged form of denial that will no doubt turn me to madness.
My memory isn't the best. I remember the Russo brothers talking about it, the casting call, but I think that's about it, no? On the other side, we also have Feige sort of implying she would not appear prior to her movie.
Don't recall if Brie Larson was spotted on the set for Infinity War either.
Filming on Infinity War ends next week (14th of July), according to recent reports. They began in like, January. If Charlie Cox and the gang had filmed something for it, we would have heard about it long before now.
Can't even stealth edit these days. Joke aside, thanks for the info.
This is the best thing and I need it and I'm buying it

The only flicker of hope that remains is Daredevil appearing in a Spider-Man movie.
Honestly the only crossover I care about.
Speaking about The Defenders and the other TV characters, I was actually thinking about this particular quote from the Russo's a few days ago:
Next year, I could potentially anticipate Marvel Entertainment releasing a lot of online content to help promote Infinity War, sort of like how a lot of online stuff was released to promote the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, where Paul McGann shot an elaborate mini-story, along with some other in-universe content. I could see Marvel adopting a similar strategy, placating fans of the TV shows by releasing an online mini-movie, in conjunction with Netflix, which could reveal what the Defenders were up to during the events of the film, which could perhaps even find them interacting with one of the more minor movie characters, like Hawkeye. That way, even if the TV characters didn't get to physically appear in the film, they would still feel at least tangentially connected to the event. It could be a really nice marketing strategy, releasing a short film to Netflix and their online channels, involving the Netflix characters, in a way that would actively promote Marvel's upcoming movie.
Again though, given the widening divide between Marvel's film and television departments, even that would be something of a deranged hope.
I mean, at least there's this...
If that ever happens though, watch Charlie Cox get recast in the role.

It can't be too much to ask for a scene in Infinity War where they're going over the roster of heroes to gather and someone calls out, "Hey, what about that devil guy in Hell's Kitchen?" and Tony just brushes him off as being too low level or something. Like, that's all I need. Pretty please Marvel, pleeeeeeeease!?!?!?

Yeah, I've pretty much gotten over any hope of the TV side intersecting with the movie side. Maybe, maybe, we got some AoS reference if they ever get Coulson back, but I doubt we see Netflix side. I just treat it like MCU fanfiction at this point.
I've made a huge mistake.
The upside is too great though. I'll have people betting against me while still hoping I win because fuck Venom.

We could swap Marvel TV out for a lot of things. I'm thinking Fantastic Four.
RIP your avatar.
Making an avatar bet over such a thing is just dumb.
You scared to bet against me?
Please. How do you think I got this fancy avatar?

If the MCU moves in real time how will they keep Peter in high school?
That's the conclusion people seem to keep coming to. They've modified the timeline so that they can squeeze more high school stuff out of him. The next few movies are going to have to happen over a very short time frame.

It's just weird, because this wasn't some huge screw up. It's a title card. The year the movie takes place is wholly inconsequential to the plot. It's weird that that slipped through the cracks lol
Just for back from Homecoming and I loved it. Loved it.
Before this year, I was coming out of MCU movies a little undecided and then they'd grow on me after later viewings but I came out of both this and Guardians 2 super pleased. Bring on Ragnarok (and maybe a second showing of Homecoming)
Lawd, I soooo want to see

that Avengers Spidey suit in action at some point.
I'm in 100% agreement with you on that. I'm a continuity whore so seeing that 8 years later thing really pissed me off.

I'm glad that the movies and Netflix shows don't intersect. Can't have the stench of Scott Buck tarnish the MCU. This way I still might get a good Iron Fist in my lifetime.
