A great article, lenghty, includes factual assessments of everything from the Shi'ar to Kang to Ego (who is actually shared between the MCU and Fox) to the Skrulls to the Badoon and more:

'Daredevil' Season 3, 'Luke Cage' & 'Jessica Jones' Season 2 All Seemingly Confirmed For 2018

Certainly would be nice if there were a guaranteed three-seasons of MCU/Netflix shows each year, just as there are three MCU films each year.  Then all the gravy on top of that, gravy such as The Inhumans (though 2017, it is still a bonus over Marvel SOP), Cloak and Dagger, The Runaways, etc.

Yes, it is a very good time to be a Marvel fan. ;D

A thought came to me: since the MCU is apparently substituting Hela for Death (for Thanos's love interest), I wonder if they may also substitute the Red Skull for Mephisto's role in the Infinity Gauntlet saga (at least as someone for Thanos to talk to and give exposition to)?  [I have heard nothing of anyone approaching Weaving for a return to the role recently.  But they re-cast Rhodey, so that doesn't necessarily mean the Red Skull won't return.]

Though, with the film potentially only 2-2 1/2 hours long, Thanos's exposition may have to be limited to direct contact with other major characters (or to himself or Hela), so a distorted cognitive mirror like Mephisto served in the original may not be possible simply for time reasons (i.e. they may not be able to afford 'inactive' time with exposition to more peripheral characters).

It was just a thought since the Red Skull was transported 'out there' and could easily (well, in the MCU's 'easy' ;)) have ended up with Thanos.

Images from the D23 Expo.  Infinity War cast photos (only two of them).  The pics are huge, but I've set them to just fill the column width here (right click & select 'View Image' to see full size).

Here are some more things from D23.  These, some might consider spoilers for Infinity War.  [The second one I did, but by the time I realized it would be I couldn't un-see it, as it was initially in an online video and they gave no spoiler warning.]

The first, a prop [crap, noticed a character to the right in this pic, also]:
Spoiler

The second, a character or characters that had not previously been announced as participating (hopefully that is vague enough):

A prop for a CGI character.

:)  Yeah.  I suspect there will be some scenes in which real actors will interact directly with it (or be in the same frame as it is) where a physical item would be needed.  Unless they just made it for the actors to have a size comparison, "this is what you're gaping at,"-type thing (a la the big blue Lockjaw stand-in).

BathTub, Inside the opening "img" code, change it to "img width=___" with the "___" the number of pixels wide you want it.  I just go with 600 usually (like below).  Or you can change it to "img height=___" if it is taller than wide, like posters (that are roughly 2x3).  For those, I find that going with "height=600" generally makes it so it comfortably fits on one screen, vertically, though not filling the width of the columns here.

Here is another poster of interest (I put the Ragnarok one HERE, since people had been discussing that release there).

I think, second to Doctor Strange, the below is the film I've been looking forward to the most (certainly of any of the tentpole series . . .  and given Adam Warlock won't be in Infinity War [basically like filming The Killing Joke without Batman], possibly anticipating this more than that film, as well.  Though since Adam W is supposed to be in Avengers 4 against Thanos, that's still got my interest quite high):
