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

[Pak-Man]

The New Warriors roster is in!

We've got Squirrel Girl, Mr. Immortal, Night Thrasher, Speedball, Microbe and Debrii. This should be a fun show.

Now that I know it's sort of a mash-up between the New Warriors and the Great Lake Avengers, I'm into this.  I'm hoping the tone will be like a more upbeat Venture Brothers.  Is Ben Edlund still on Supernatural, because I would kill to have him make the switch to this show.

Oh, and the Cloak and Dagger preview is out.  Looks different than I expected, but it is making me quite interested.

Happy news (at least I think it is, given some of the Feige comments, not positive yet)!  Contains reference to future character in the MCU that hasn't been shown yet, and has not yet been saturating the media on the MCU.  If you aren't wanting a spoiler (til it is shoved in your face by an advertising blitz), then don't open the spoiler.

Spoiler

From article "Meet and Greet: Adam Warlock".  The article has a nice history of Warlock, though it has MASSIVE comic storyline spoilers in it, for those who want to read the series fresh (which I recommend, for the Starlin parts at least).

As it stands, Warlock always serves as the ultimate foil to Thanos and, for that reason, but it appears his presence in the MCU will have a different purpose. Recently James Gunn revealed that Adam Warlock played a major role in an early draft of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but was removed because the movie seemed to have too many characters. Kevin Feige then confirmed that we will see Warlock in future cosmic films saying, "He's not in Infinity War. But he will be a part of the future Marvel cosmic universe and a pretty important part of that," and later clarifying "if he appears anywhere in the future, it'll be in Guardians." So while he may not play the role that many are expecting, it seems we are finally going to meet one of Marvel's strangest characters, possibly as soon as May, 2020, if not sooner (perhaps in one of the 5 post-credit scenes for Vol. 2).

Pissed that Feige says, "he's not in Infinity War".  But hopefully at the very least, before Avengers Untitled 4.  Because GotG 3 [recently confirmed written and directed by Gunn! ] won't be out before that.  i.e. I hope they don't pull a 'we haven't introduced Hank Pym yet, so let's have Tony Stark create Ultron' BS with him and the Infinity stones.  If they do things at least reasonably (for the character), the Avengers will LOSE Infinity War ('Avengers 3'), and only through Warlock will everything be saved from Thanos, when Warlock finally intervenes before and during 'untitled Avengers 4'.

There really are going to be 5 after credit scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy 2?

Yeah, that's what both Gunn and Feige have said.  Apparently a lot of mini set-ups for the future films.

I'm still hoping that Death as a character is established in one of the MCU movies prior to Infinity War.

I hope the next GotG movie just rolls the credits after the first scene and the movie is post credits.

Really enjoyed Guardians vol 2.

Might try to sneak away from work on friday.

[Pak-Man]

Lucky other countries. We still have to wait until a week from Friday.

[BathTub]

it's weird how most stuff we have to wait, but for marvel we often get it early.

I heard from a friend of mine (who runs a comic book and collectables shop, so he gets some information early) that Hela will be Thanos' love interest instead of Death. I'm fine with that, since she is the Goddess of Death in Norse mythology. And that means she will be established as a character before Infinity War, so we don't have to spend time in that already surely crowded movie establishing her.
It does make me wonder if Thanos will have an appearance in Thor Ragnarok like he did in Guardians of the Galaxy. I hope so. It's been 9 years and most of what we know about Thanos is just from that little bit in Guardians.

Full Inhumans royal family cast in costume.  I believe the Medusa hair is a 'stand-in' and that it will, in the series, be entirely computer generated (and something closer to a real red color, as in the books).  At least, I certainly hope so!

Lockjaw is in post.  (Previous pics above or on previous pages show the blue stand-in which was happily pretty accurate for both size and detail.)  I'm guessing they don't have the full CGI details for him down yet... either that, or they want that particular reveal for themselves, rather than via Entertainment Mag.
