Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

LOL!!! I know. My adrenaline levels are through the roof right now. Between Superman and this my nerves are like tissue paper. Lory says she's going to start sprinkling tranquilizer's in my food.
 
Maybe it's because I loved the raw energy he brought to Stranger Things, but Quinn was the casting I was most excited about. He really doesn't fit the pretty boy mode we've come to expect for Johnny, but the dude's got charisma for days. I actually thought for a while he was my pick to take over for Jackman as Wolverine - palpable, frenetic energy on screen, not traditionally handsome, relatively short (I know they'll never cast a Wolverine under 5ft5, but I'm hoping they'll choose someone under 5ft10 at least) and he has this energy that screams "will throw myself in to danger" that I loved for a younger Logan and I think will work really well for the daredevil side of Johnny.

I love Pedro but I was least excited by his casting til I started thinking about the chemistry of casting - Reed has always been hard to like, and if your lead character is hard to like, but you put someone who is easy to love in there, you have a great alchemical experiment of how the audience watches that character, especially when we know how well he can play a man capable of great love who can also make terrible choices to save the people he cares about. I'm really just overall fascinated by their casting choices this time around, and aside from Chiklis, I've been neutral at best with cast of every previous iteration of the F4.
 
My intial choice was the guy who plays Steve on Stranger Things. Sort of self absorbed, vapid popular teen who proves his mettle when the chips are down. Cares about his hair. Sounds like Johnny. I’m fine with the casting. Seems like they got the annoying younger brother tone down

Ebon wasn’t my first choice but hell if it doesn’t make sense. Piercing blue eyes, Jewish, plays self hate like a MFer
 
@DarthDre758 thank you for telling me!

Kevin Feige:
Yeah, it’s official. Jake Schreier is doing X-Men for us. Very lucky, and we’re very, very lucky to have him, and very excited to have him. And so we're beginning. It’s all starting now. Script’s underway.

Jake’s an incredibly smart guy, and he’s an incredibly talented filmmaker. We had a great experience with him on Thunderbolts, and if you saw that movie, what he did with those character interactions — he also has his pulse on, shall we say, a younger demographic. Not—he’s younger than me, for sure—but he’s tapped into that in a way that I think is important. It was important for Thunderbolts, much more important for X-Men, because X-Men, as it was in the comics, will be a very youth-oriented, focused and cast movie.

Ah boy. I'm indifferent to Schreier's movies Paper Towns and Thunderbolts. At least Beef was pretty good.

I've never wanted a movie to work as much as I want the MCU's first X-Men movie to work.
 
Feige when asked about plans for phases after phase six:

I mean, we’re working on the next… A saga’s three phases, so we’re working on the next three right now. But really, the first one of the next saga is directly impacted by what we’re doing right now with these movies and Secret Wars.

Whether or not we'll see more of the characters introduced in the multiverse saga credit scenes:
There are plans for some and there are opportunities for all, it’s about finding what the right… what the right moment is. Some maybe we’ll never see again. Some maybe we’ll see soon. Some maybe it’ll be like Tim Blake Nelson, you know, 17 years in between. Who knows? What I love about it is it’s as much about the actors as it is about the characters. It’s as much about our enthusiasm, excitement to work with those actors, which is how almost all those came about, but to see where they go. But we will not alter a storyline just to include them simply because they have been seen in the past.

How to combat superhero fatigue
Making two or three movies a year, some years it will be one, some years it will be three. We’ll be down to a single live-action show a year. Look at Superman, it’s clearly not superhero fatigue.

He also said they were planning to pivot away from Kang before everything happened with Majors and they had discussed Doom with RDJ before Quantumania was released. He said they have plans to recast heroes like Iron Man but definitely the X-Men, and Fantastic Four requires no homework to enjoy.

Well, we'll see but I wish they put the "Saga is three phases and runs 6 to 7" idea behind them.

I do not believe that about Kang in the slightest.

I do believe they had ideas for Doom with Secret Wars and the FF in the pipeline.

They have a lot of latitude to bring in new faces for IM and Cap via the multiverse, but hope they use that wisely or else it gives them an out.

Side note idea - I would love it if they brought the past casting changes (Banner, Rhodes, Ross, any others) into storyline by saying that there have been multiverse incursions so subtle that no one noticed that different versions appeared in this timeline replacing the previous versions.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure I buy the Kang stuff either. It was endlessly clear that they were building it up. I mean, an entire movie had to be renamed because they removed the character. I understand there may be legalities and everything regarding contracts and whatnot, but he's the head of the studio. If anyone can get away with some subtle hinting, it's him.

I like that idea about addressing the past recasts. It's not necessary, per se- I'm mostly fine with them just ignoring it overall as well, but if they're going to address it, that would be a fun way to.

Not sure I like the idea of not following up on post-credits teases, though. I understand that plans and schedules change, but it should be an exception, not the norm. I'd rather them just not include the character at all if they don't plan on following up for a considerable amount of time, if ever. It's been bad enough waiting for a follow-up on Scorpion, a relatively minor character in the grand scheme of things, let alone ones that presumably would have more of an effect like Hercules or Clea.
