Marvel Shared Film Universe: MCU Theatrical & TV (discussion, crossovers, etc.)

[Edward J Grug III]

Actually, it'd be cool if Marvel committed to release one B-Lister a year. Maybe do them as February/March releases. Spend the rest of the year giving us the Hulks and Captain Marvels, but give us a Great Lakes Avengers or Howard the Duck (Lucas didn't ruin him forever! There's still a movie to be had there!) once a year.

To me, the simple solution to that is Netflix movies. Less risk and cost.

ALSO I wonder if they would be ballsy enough to make one of their waves 2099?

It would be a fun way to have a reboot and not have a reboot at the same time. Flash forward for 5 or 7 films. Back to the regular timeline after that.

That would work if they want a clean slate of changing casting.

I wonder if Dr. Strange ever accidentally summons a demon or something while waving his arms just trying to get the damn sensor controlled paper towel dispenser to work.

'Marvel's Inhumans' ABC series:

Anson Mount is Black Bolt


Serinda Swan is Medusa:


Iwan Rheon is Maximus the Mad:

[LucasM]

Building on the expansion of the previous post yesterday, here's some more Inhumans casting news.  Now with extended royal family.:

Marvel's Inhumans casts Ken Leung as Karnak

[LucasM]

And the Inhumans' cast fills out the rest of the way (see previous two posts).  Ewe Ikwuakor, Isabelle Cornish, Mike Moh and Sonya Balmores are playing Gorgon, Crystal, Triton and Auran respectively.



Oh, and apparently they've confirmed Lockjaw as being present, though no-one's been stated to be playing him yet.


Oh, and it began filming today.

I am so incredibly looking forward to this series.  Possibly as much or more than The Defenders, and possibly above everything else releasing this year.

Lockjaw's stand-in on set:

[Johnny Unusual]

Or it's just how Lockjaw looks now.  Like, maybe he joined Blue Man Group and just got back from a funeral.

Uh oh. Overwhelmingly negative reviews for the first six eps of Iron Fist.

[LucasM]

Shouldn't this be an ad for "TH'ORÉAL"?

Uh oh. Overwhelmingly negative reviews for the first six eps of Iron Fist.

Coming from TV/Film critics, or comics 'experts'? 

Sadly, from pretty much everyone:

Well, I've now seen the first six episodes of Iron Fist, the same group that the pre-release critics saw, and I'm enjoying it.  Not as much as the other three Netflix series (...'yet', I'll hold that final assessment until I'm done with all 13 eps, probably tonight), but so far I'm enjoying it more than I've enjoyed Agents of SHIELD.

It was interesting to see (even if in a throw-away line) the first reference to another Marvel/Netflix character by name.
