Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

I think The Mutants sounds more suited to a Disney+ series where it can focus on different characters. For a movie the name sounds like a low budget horror movie.

And "The Dark Knight" and "Man of Steel" sounds like pornos. 😛

Seriously, especially if it's going to be mutants not related to Xavier, The Mutants is a good name.

pixelburp · 20-07-2022 08:35PM

I could see a disconnected adventure about some mutants, with the finale or Post Credits featuring the new Xavier, reacting to the events of the film with a decision to open a school.

CastorTroy · 20-07-2022 09:05PM

Though not to be confused with The New Mutants.

TheIrishGrover · 21-07-2022 09:22AM

Sounds odd. I mean, sure the X-men movies have been very inconsistent in quality (Think X-men 2, New Class and Days of Future Past with X-men 3 and Apokalypse).

But they are a HUGE property and many will be really excited about seeing X-men and FF being brought into MCU.

Unless it's a sort of soft intro like pixelburp suggests (Introducing the IDEA of mutants with a post-credit stinger of Prof X which will lead to a proper full-on X-men movie).

I mean, if it is a full-on X-Men movie with Prof X and other tier 1 members then why not use use the name? As others have said, it's quite a low-key name. It SHOULD be titled "Holy f*****! It's Prof X & Cyclops and Jean Grey with Spiderman and Hulk and Thor and sh*t".... Part 1 lol

It's an odd choice. On the one hand, probably want to separate it from the previous X-Men films and have a clean break, especially if they want to use some of the same subtitles (Days of Future Past, Apocalypse etc). The new Spiderman movies did similar with each film having a subtitle to distinguish it from previous.

On the other hand, X-Men is such a recognisable brand name that it feels kinda crazy they're not just going to go with "X-Men: (New subtitle)". Calling it The Mutants just feels so much more bland.

I'd say @pixelburp is spot on.

Xavier emerges from Krakoa at the end to establish a school in America for the newly manifested kid mutants, while also showing that he already has some adult X-Men.

flazio · 22-07-2022 09:16PM

I know "Caltech" is a real place but I bet there's going to be more to it than meets the eye in the MCU.

Reed Richards maybe.

flazio · 22-07-2022 09:53PM

You know what I think is the best Fantastic 4 movie?

The Incredibles 😜 (How Pixar got away with that one in the days before they were under the Disney umbrella who knows)

I wonder what kind of tone the F4 will have. On a scale from of Logan dark to Love and Thunder silly where would F4 fit in?

CastorTroy · 22-07-2022 10:04PM

Anyone have a few quid to spare?

Black panther 2 trailer was too class but a shame that it seems to be leading to shuri becoming the new BP

Except her mother's character does at one point in the trailer say "My entire family is gone" so I wonder 🤔

Good to see Winston Duke back

pixelburp · 24-07-2022 09:14AM

Phew. I mean, that is a lot.

Think at this stage I'm going to have to stop religiously trying to follow/watch every iteration and just stick with the stuff that interests me.

Might put me on the narrative backfoot but that's what Wikipedia is for lol

Penn · 24-07-2022 09:16AM

Honestly, the only thing that worries me about everything they announced, is that Daredevil will be 18 episodes. Given that we already have the backstory and history of these characters and most of the supporting cast, thats a lot of momentum to try keep going for a season 3 times as long as some of their others like Loki, Moon Knight and Ms.Marvel which did have some dips in the middles. Surely they could have found some way to break it into two seasons and give themselves a chance to adjust between seasons if there were issues with the first season.

Either that or they're telling a long story detailing both Matt and Fisk's journeys over the last few years as well as how and why they're interacting with Hawkeye, Echo, She-Hulk etc.

johnny_ultimate · 24-07-2022 09:16AM

Big ‘wasn’t this in phase four before?’ vibes off of phase five.

Yeah I wonder if reshoots were needed for some or were impacted by Covid. Next year is going to be packed. Interesting that both Avengers films are in the same year. I'm guessing something big like the Snap happens at the end of the first film like all Multiverses merging and Secret Wars will lead to reboot of the MCU. The 2015 Secret Wars event in the comics is good example.

Also didn't see Armor Wars in Phase 4,5, or 6 so wonder what happened there?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119379650#Comment_119379650

They didn't really announce anything for Phase 6, so I'm assuming Armor Wars will be in there. I think Cheadle was shown in the Secret Invasion trailer, and Ironheart will be towards the end of Phase 5 and it probably leads into Armor Wars.

True but the scene towards the end with BP extends the claws looks very feminine..

Could be Nakia

Agent Coulson · 24-07-2022 12:11PM

I would guess Disney will reveal the cast for Fantastic Four at D23 in September along with everthing else they withheld last night at Comic Com.

The White Wolf · 24-07-2022 12:19PM

That was some trailer for Wakanda Forever. Absolutely the right thing to do leaving Tchalla be and the film will be the better for it by the looks of it.

Agent Coulson · 24-07-2022 12:22PM

Feige talking up Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider Gosling has said in the past he wants play Ghost Rider.

I would have thought they'd go with Robbie Reyes instead of Johnny Blaze as the MCU Ghost Rider. I know the planned TV show didn't happen but in the comics the last few years Robbie has been the main Ghost Rider with Johnny Blaze and even Dan Ketch more side characters regarding the big comic events
