You'd be surprised. I have a few friends left from my time at Marvel and they definitely talk more freely than they should. The only difference is that my income doesn't hinge on me desperately sharing everything I hear from them, whereas for these "scoopers" it is very much the case.

This can only help both. Hulk has become very popular in the MCU, but needs more story time outside of the avenger movies and the Thor franchise is the black sheep of the whole MCU.

damn, what a shame. it kinda sucks that the only way to see more hulk would be in avengers film or another hero's solo film. not that hulk appearing in them isn't cool of course, but those other characters get to have solo stories told and hulk doesn't because of some bullshit rules between corporations and them not wanting to do what's best for their capital.
Why is Spider-Man popular? His movies were horrible.

How would they do Annihilation without Galactus, Ronan, Silver Surfer, Annihilus, etc.?
Planet Hulk is exactly the kind of story they could do better on film. Annihilation is the kind of story that works best in comics.

By combining elements from Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest. That would require Ultron being an intimidating villain though, and the MCU really flubbed that one.

I get why Spider-Man is popular. Lol. I was using that to demonstrate that a character can still be popular after a couple of mediocre movies. Hulk is awesome and the public reacted to seeing him done well in The Avengers.

I figured you were being rhetorical; I guess my post is an inadvertent answer to the person you quoted
Gotcha.

They're probably planning this already as some sort of event-type filming featuring the GOTG and more cosmic characters once they have some introduced. The good thing is it doesn't really matter how Whedon characterized Ultron in his movie, those things can easily change for a cosmic appearance.
It would certainly be the type of Ultron we deserved to see.

Is Thanos going to be the villain in this film? That would be so awesome if Hulk and Thor face off against him. Then they get their arses kicked, and have to rally themselves to join the Avengers and the Guardians to take him down in Infinity War.

Not the primary villain, that would hopefully be Surtur.
But with how things are shaping up I do think it's safe to assume a Thanos appearance of importance in this one. The Tesseract is on Asgard, the person who was tasked with obtaining it for Thanos is on the throne, and if Ragnarok is anything to go by, its days are numbered. The way Marvel has talked about the Gauntlet in recent interviews, Thanos may play a role.
Plus Josh Brolin said he had a few more appearances lined up prior to Infinity War, it just makes sense for the first big one to be this movie.
Surtur would be the bad guy if this is the real Ragnarok story they're doing. Wouldn't be surprised if Thanos appears at the end to jack the Teseract or something, but his involvement will likely be minimal. Plus with Loki being the King of Asgard and Thanos being pissed at him for not only wasting their Chitauri forces but losing the Mind Stone to Earth? Thanos is going to make him suffer when he shows up. Unless this was all a long con for Loki to just hand the Teseract over to get back on Thanos' good side.

Loki will probably pretend that's the plan. But remember, people think Loki is dead, and he's currently posing as Odin (whose real whereabouts are unknown, presumably dead though). It depends on how long Loki plans on keeping that thing going

IMO that would be a decent way to set off the whole chain of events. Loki has usurped the throne and has either enslaved or killed Odin. There are forces in the universe that Odin has part in that Loki could not even begin to understand.
Thanos arrives in Asgard demanding to see Odin, sees through Loki's charade, kills him and takes the Tesseract/Gauntlet, and leaves. For whatever reason, the lack of a ruler on Asgard's throne allows Surtur to be freed from his prison of wherever the hell he is.
Or I'm just completely wrong and Loki has been working with Thanos the whole time and will just give him what he wants, but either way I'm excited for this movie and to see Surtur.

This would be great. Thor is my least favorite Avengers character they base movies on and Hulk is one of my favorites.

Hulk & Thor the best buddy cop combo since Mel Gibson and Danny Glover
can't wait and see what crimes they solve in the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine

Neat!
Sure lets ignore the Warriors three, Hemidall and rest of Asgard cast we have never bothered to use and just shove Hulk in that will fix and make Thor films interesting.
Ughhh Thor has all his cast in Asgard set up no need add rest just give them something to do.
Unless your name is Beta Ray Bill the add that character of course.

We all know that Clint is just keeping the mantle warm for Kate Bishop.
I need this to be true.

I can see them going to Kate Bishop when it's time for Jeremy Renner to move on

My dream is that Renner's last MCU project is a Netflix adaptation of Fraction's run, then Kate takes over.

It's one of the best single runs by a writer in a while, so it's kind of a given that people would want to see it adapted.
Neat. Plaza might be a bit older than I would think for the role, though.
I'm still hoping that the monolith will come back again in the MCU as a device/setup for the Hulk to be transported off of Earth. Putting Hulk in Thor 3 makes sense Marvel wants to explore another way for the Guardians of the Galaxy to connect with Earth and the rest of the MCU characters from there.

But is the world truly ready?
Are they ready, brothers?
It depends on if you're talking about Hawkguy or Hawkeye, because I vastly prefer the guy that lead the West Coast Avengers, the Thunderbolts, and was Ronin for a time over the other one. You know, the one that people like to pass off as a joke.
Not ONLY because of that run. But it's pretty great
MCU Hawkeye is a husband/father who enjoys quaint family life in a rustic farmhouse. He's not a good fit with the Fraction rendition. Good luck in adapting anything remotely similar to that run for the current MCU.

Really wouldn't be tough. He already showed some of the sarcasm/sense of humor in AoU, and it wouldn't be that hard to get him into a similar situation. You could easily have Fury tell him that they need a man on the ground in NY given all the new activity there (because of the Netflix stuff), and they can't afford to give that job to someone like Iron Man or Cap. Then you introduce Kate through one of the other Netflix shows and she shows up to help Clint in NY. Simple as that, really.

Weren't there rumors of Disney doing like a Young Avengers or Avengers Academy thing on ABC?
Yes, yes, Hawkguy should burn in fire. Really shits on a great character
AoU hobbled him with too much family man baggage. Sure, you can do an adaptation with the surface trappings -- Kate, NY, dumb stuff, but Renner Hawkeye is just not spiritually Hawkguy. And you know what? I'm okay with that.
Just full disclosure, I don't really like Fraction's Hawkeye run, butI wouldn't be against a Hawkeye show with some wit and humor though.

There's been a lot of rumors on the TV side. The Marvel TV stuff seems like it's in a constant state of flux. Case in point is the Mockingbird/Hunter show that existed then was canned and now exists again.
Look, I just want Kate Bishop in the MCU. Whether that is through a Hawkguy run or not isn't as relevant.

Do we know if Anthony Hopkins is back as Odin? I think I read somewhere before that Hopkins is not to fond of Marvel, but Odin not appearing at all in Thor 3 might be a bit weird considering Loki is posing as him now storywise.
BKatastrophe
Member
Maybe. He's probably in Odinsleep so they can just go "eh" and not bother.
Callibretto

Loki is posing as Odin right now ruling Asgard, wouldn't they need Hopkins back to act as fake Odin at least until the gig is up and Loki exposed.
