Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Hemsworth can't exactly wash his hands of how Thor was in the last film. So much of it was improv that he's as much responsible as Waititi is. But the reason he wanted to go the comedy route was because he was getting bored of the character, and Waititi and their direction (as well as convincing the Russo's to go comedic with Thor in Endgame) helped keep Hemsworth interested. He's obviously reached the point where he needs another new direction to take Thor to stay interested in playing him. But maybe it's time to hang up the hammers anyway, just have Thor die in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars.

Well, to be fair, I think for most people, they'd consider phase one, everything up to Infinity War / Endgame. we're closing in on being 15 years out from the original Iron Man, so the lines between what was released back then are almost irrelevant now.

We're now in the realm of very much B & C tier characters, and to my eyes, none of them are catching the public consciousness in the same way as the original sagas characters.

I do wonder, if they would have been better off pivoting to the X-men / mutants roster sooner, it feels like an interminable tease at this point.

Multiverse kinda solves all. Avengers Secret Wars will come after Deadpool 3 and will pretty much allow them to recast actors, reset characters etc. It's the end of the Multiverse Saga, so chances are Deadpool and Wolverine will be in one universe separate from the main MCU (though there'll likely be a lot of MCU jokes and references in Deadpool 3 now), and after Secret Wars we'll get a new version of MCU X-Men

Think he was in talks for something alright. Wasn't confirmed if it was Prof.X or Magneto, or maybe a different role altogether.

Mark Strong, anyone? He does have a better head shape than McAvoy! 😁

Slight tangent note but if I ever get the lottery advertising exec who licenced ELO Mr Blue Sky for their ads and then over used it to death alone in a room then heaven help them. GOTG2 used to be one of my go to - feel better movies and the opening credits with Groot dancing to the music a great set up but now that song just annoys me so much.

All about the Multiverse really. God they must love the potential. Anything you want? Multiverse.

I'm thinking of the Simpsons episode with Lucy Lawless. Every inconsistency: A Wizard did it.

• Prof-X isn't Patrick Stewart/James McEvoy: Multiverse
• Wolverine is supposed to be younger than in Logan but looks older: Multiverse
• 2 seconds ago that background guy had a different T-shirt on: Bugger.... Uh.... Multiverse??????

Of course Marvel choose, but isn't whatever story they choose a bit moot as technically it's cancelled out multiple times somewhere else or maybe I'm over thinking it.

Haven't watched it yet, but after Guardians 2, my grà for them has waned...

I loved GOTG2 (although see earlier about how the Lottery have made the opening scene unbearable).

She was rumoured to be Elektra two months ago and the hate she got on social media made her come out and say she never spoke with Marvel and she just signed up to other projects

I wouldn't take it as shade being thrown. No context given. Like was he asked if he wanted to be the next Rock? But I would read his reply like he just wants to concentrate on being an actor instead of worrying about being the next Rock. He's probably fed up with the comparisons because of the similar backgrounds.
