The earth will quake and stars will fall from the sky. Could there be a more hype day?
Nay, I say. True Hype will be achieved, and those of us mortals who choose to surrender ourselves will ascend gracefully to a higher plane.
Hype, we praise you.
We honor thy name and still our lips at your presence, o Hype.
Hype on earth as it Hypes in heaven.
Welcome to Japan.

Michael Cera incoming.
Shit fucking sucks.Black Panther... Captain Marvel...
I love having him in the MCU but not at the expense of the fresher, groundbreaking entrances Black Panther and Captain Marvel will provide.
Gotta make room for yet another white male tho!

Would have loved to have seen...
They have moved him to the exec producer spot, probably just so that he can collect a paycheck and not be involved into production.

more excited for this than I thought I would be, but I'm sad to see the new IPs (BP and CM) getting bumped back even farther. Still

Is it possible that Marvel can bring Venom and Carnage into their films?
An 8 month delay isn't that big of a deal, especially for what we got.
We know BP is in CW and will suit up. We know Wakanda will most likely be in CW as well(and maybe AoU)
Both BP and CM being between IW would seem to highlight their importance in bringing down Thanos.
Nothing really changed, we are getting these films. An extra 8 months of development could work out for the best.
Its not like they're canceling those movies.
I don't see them working outside of Spider-Man.
That Sony still effectively controls and will hog the movies he's featured in going forward because it's spider-man
I wanna be as excited (and I am to an extent) but I just look at this whole thing with a uneasy apprehension because as much as I love him, the MCU didn't need Peter.
Under the terms of this deal Amy Pascal has wrestled more direct control of the Spider Man films, not less.
I suspect that this part of the story has still to be told. I wonder if SPE simply 'paid off' Arad or ended up working some legal loophole to get rid of him given that this was an 'impossible' deal with him on board.
I'm sure that Spidey potentially joining the Avengers (or whatever variation they use) will be an event, I'm just not sure that its going to send Spider Man merchandise into some new stratospheric realm of success given how MCU stuff is already connecting and selling to its audience already.
I'm sure we'll see in the fullness of time.

Huge money, huge expectations. Will dwarf all of Marvel so far!
Looking forward to seeing what they do with it. I reckon they had basic plans anyway, waiting and hoping to get Spidey back.

Not Spider-man merch. Avengers Merch.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
The in-universe explanation is obvious, Spider-Man was (Guardians of the Galaxy Spoilers):
Now Marvel can forget the origin story.
being kept in The Collector's collection, then escaped when it blew up, hooked up with Thanos, who gives him to Loki, who piggybacks him to Earth.
I meant both.

They're doing a good job but not a great one and there are still some major flaws in continuity. DoFP was a big step in the right direction though.
As for who will play Spidey?
I'm Spiderman
In all seriousness, I'm hoping it will be a teen, a young Peter Parker.
I like it!

Looks like Amy moved laterally rather than getting ousted.
Pretty interesting.
Pretty interesting.
I am kinda glad Marvel didn't originally have Spidey. If they did we'd probably not have Cap films at all. One thing that bothers me is that if Spidey is in Civil War, Cap is being sidelined in his own movie. With Rober Downey Jr. he is already no longer the biggest name. Anyway, this still sounds like a good development.
also, they could keep Emma Stone as Spider-Gwen from an alternate universe.

I want this team up to happen:
The MCU is the only reason Avengers is above Superman and close to Batman while having the most growth potential. The hype alone from this is huge (so huge it will benefit AoU's and Ant-Mans box-office numbers).
I can't see why this news wont affect Avengers Merch, especially if it's well received.
What about the totally new and fresh experience of watching Spider-Man go through high school for the third time? Can BP and CM really compare to that?
I never really knew what Pascal's vision was for the project, but whatever that was, she has to share double duties with Feige now, so it's a little more and a little less. Most of the influence felt in the TASM series felt explicitly like Arad's doing which now won't be as prevalent, thank god for that. Plus when I refer to the creative team I also mean the people responsible for writing and directing the recent abysmal installments. Hopefully Orci and Kurtzman specifically are never allowed to touch this franchise again.

I think Marvel and every fan knows there is no going back on Capt. He's the first Avenger and fucking awesome. I never gave him a thought before the MCU.
Lol, speaking of which the pop when Spidey shows up on screen with the other Avengers will be legendary. It's going to be hype being in a packed theater and seeing the crowd absolutely lose their shit once Spidey shows up.
Let's face it, Spider-Man in terms of name value is in a completely different league to any superhero except for Superman/Batman. Spider-Man having doubts about joining The Avengers, then coming in ala Hulk in The Avengers climax would blow the roof off of the cinema.
THANOS: Who are you, boy?
SPIDER-MAN: Oh, I'm sorry, does chicken legs have a question? Tell you what, why don't you actually work on your legs once in a while instead of fisting a gauntlet?
Thanos has huge legs.

Hahahaha, what is it with you and Thanos' legs, breh?
Bullshit, his gains suck. Ronan punked Thanos out in a diaper, before he'd even got his hands on that cosmic steroid gem.
Fox wants mutants on tv.....
They need Marvels permission..........
GET EM Marvel!
I was pretty drunk when I came up with the idea that Thanos is jealous of Ronan's gains in GOTG, and when Ronan gets the cosmic steroid gem and his gains grow even more he's all 'Thanos, you better hit the gym because I'm going to kick your ass.' At this stage I think the fact it makes no sense is what keeps amusing me - like in my mind GOTG is some weird bodybuilding film from the 1980s and Quill thinks it's a Footloose remake in space.
