    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Of course, the November 2022 schedule has had an MCU film a week after The Flash for some time. Black Panther simply took over the date previously designated for The Marvels. So WB has known before now that The Flash was scheduled to face an MCU film in the second weekend. All that has...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    On the other hand, Black Panther is now one week after The Flash. Disney seems pretty secure with that date, since The Marvels was there previously. I wonder if WB is going to blink and move theirs.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Deadline and Variety both say that it is to allow for more time for production. I'm not worried about it. Most of these dates already had a Marvel movie penciled in anyway. All that's changing is which one is going with which date. Marvel has already proven several times that they can open a...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I didn't know that. Thanks, @Adam Lenhardt. I must have either massed that or forgotten it at some point. Thank you for pointing it out. 10/6 and 11/10 are unusually close together, even for the MCU. I would not be terribly surprised if one of those two dates ends up being swapped with a...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Three? Where did you see that? They already have Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania on February 17, 2023 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on May 5, 2023. If they added three more titles, that would be five MCU films in a single year. They've never done four before this year, which was...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Disney has staked out a bunch of release dates for untitled films, including four Marvel titles in 2024: February 16, May 3, July 26 and November 8. Of course they won't confirm, but I strongly suspect that one of those dates will be used for the Fantastic 4 film that Jon Watts is directing...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I figured this was as good of a place to put this as any. Alan Taylor did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about his career leading up to the upcoming Sopranos movie prequel, The Many Saints of Newark. During the course of this discussion, he talked about his experience on Thor: The...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I missed having Loki this week (aside from the making-of special), so I decided to go back to the Thor movies over the last couple days. Because I already watched the first two Avengers films earlier this month while preparing for Black Widow, I left those out this time and just went for the...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    This is a pretty wide-ranging video with Kevin Feige about the projects Marvel has already released this year and the upcoming ones. Since it touches a little bit on everything, I figured this the best place to post it. Feige does discuss both the MCU TV shows on Disney+ and the film slate...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Ant-Man was confirmed for February and Guardians was confirmed for May in that sizzle real they put out a while back. So the other 2023 dates are for unknown projects at this point.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I wasn't really sure where else to put this so figured this thread is as good as any. Jimmy Rich, who has been Robert Downy Jr.'s assistant on all of his films since 2003 including the MCU ones, passed away at age 52...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    That sounds great in theory. The problem with helping the exhibition industry at this moment is that Disney would have to take a loss on almost any film they actually put out to theaters right now. I want theaters to continue to exist after this is over, but I'm not going out again until after...

    This is crazy (in a weird-but-interesting kind of way, not a mentally-disturbed kind of way.) Someone spent their quarantine figuring out the chronological order of the entire MCU movie timeline by scene. https://movieweb.com/marvel-movie-scenes-chronological-order-mcu/

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    This is off the top of my head and not meant to be a complete list by any standard... Guardians Vol. 2 included several visual effects scene breakdowns and a behind-the-scenes featurette about the Guardians ride at Disney World, which retrofitted the old Tower of Terror with a Guardians theme...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    As long as I can ignore the Sony films like I ignore Agents of SHIELD, then whatever. But if the Sony films start spilling over into the Disney MCU, then I think they have a serious problem there because they've allowed their airtight quality control to be threatened by association with movies...

    According to the first trailer for Morbius, that is already happening whether Disney likes it or not. I really don't like the idea, and I have no interest in seeing the movie. But the trailer includes a reference to Spider-Man being a murderer, and and an appearance by Michael Keaton reprising...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I haven't listened to all of them, but James Gunn and the Russos/Markus and McFeely are very informative and interesting on their films. I'd definitely check those out. I would also really like to hear from Jon Watts on Far From Home in particular. You can't because he didn't record one. But...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    They now have Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Captain Marvel all scheduled for 2022. That means almost all of their biggest characters are coming in the same year. They'll want to use Guardians the next summer, because it is their biggest franchise that isn't being used at all in 2022...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Although I'm sure they would like to have the movie earlier if they could, there is another side benefit of having Guardians 3 in 2023. By that time, the real-world timeline will have caught up with the Endgame time jump,. So, assuming Guardians 3 picks up in the aftermath of Endgame, it would...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Disney just dated new a bunch of new movies into 2023. Untitled Marvel titles will arrive on February 18, 2022; July 29, 2022; and October 7, 2022, which marks the first time that Marvel Studios has used the October play period. That slot was previously very successful for Venom (Sony) and...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    We're in the "spoilers discussed for all films" thread, so I'm just going to say this without a spoiler tag, but if anyone is reading this and you haven't seen Far From Home yet, get out of here and go do that, and then come back and read this later. What's interesting about that, to me, is...

    Yes, brain freeze. I was mixing up Disney's properties. They have so many to keep track of now. ;)

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I might be in the minority on this, but I never felt like the "phases" were really anything but a dividing line for selling Blu-ray box sets. (And since Phase 3 includes everything since Ant-Man, that's way too many movies to include in one box set anyway.) The only dividing line that really...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    They are because they are new properties, but if anybody is in a position to introduce new things successfully, it's Marvel. Shang-Chi is sort of being positioned as a relative of the Iron Man films, because it has the real Mandelorian, which picks up that dangling thread from the fake one in...

    Today's Honest Trailer -- their 300th -- is for the entire MCU (except for Endgame since they're not allowed to use footage of it until the Blu-ray comes out.)

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    While in one respect, that's extremely exciting, I hope they don't overdo it. Following an ongoing film series like this is already a big commitment. It's one I'm happy to make as long as the quality continues to be this good, but it is a big commitment. Asking people to also watch a bunch of...

    On a much more positive note, Robert Downy, Jr. is being named a Disney Legend at D23 in August. https://d23.com/2019-disney-legends/ Also technically in the MCU, Ming-Na Wen from Agents of SHIELD (although I think most Disney fans will remember her first as the speaking voice of Mulan.)

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Sad news today, and I figured this was as good a thread as any to post it. Isaac Kappy, who had a brief role as a Pet Store Clerk in the original Thor, has killed himself by jumping off a bridge. The reason for this is currently unknown...
