It's kind of weird that they built her up as much as they did only to seemingly completely drop her (does she really have a story that can be picked back up with Steve Rogers out of the picture?). And I think I saw something that made it sound like whatever happened, it wasn't about Emily VanCamp not wanting to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her and her character, but not sure how she would really have fit in to the whole IW/Endgame scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I was hoping P4 would be Galactus but (minor End Game spoilers) Spoiler they’re likely going to do Kang with multiverses and time travel stuff, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Assuming that the Earth-616 stuff is true, then it appears the Multiverse may be the big plot for at least Phase 4, if not longer. I am cool with that. Also allows introducing evil Skrulls, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Time travel and multiverses suck. It will take a lot for me to be convinced that the storytelling opportunities outweigh the difficulties in creating real stakes in such a situation. Comic books struggle with it (in my opinion) all the time and it'll be twice as hard in the MCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got done with a sequel to a movie in which half of all intelligent life on earth was obliterated, the notion of scope as a metric for stakes is just straight up off the table at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 With multiverses happening they will have an easy way to bring in X-Men and Fantastic Four! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Why would they need the multiverse to bring in the Fantastic Four? X-Men and the whole mutant thing I get, but why FF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, it potentially does give them a way to bring the FF in as “already established” in their own universe without having to have them be “new/rookie heroes”.

I'm all in favor of anything that lets them avoid doing a bunch of origin stories in Phase 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, agreed,, but only if it's not a shortcut to character establishment, growth, and development. Black Panther and Spider-Man retroactively did it, but it definitely hampered The Incredible Hulk as a movie some (just as an example.).

CitizenVectron Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Do we think they will cast relative unknowns for F4 and X-men, or will they get a few big names? Personally I hope they don't go too young with X-Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, except a little storyline called the Age of Apocalypse was one of the greatest comic book events of all time and if done right on the big screen it could be one of the greatest series of movies of all time =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If they followed the Kang storyline from the comics, then that would introduce Apocalypse as well. Having said that...I expect Marvel to go in a different direction with X-Men and try to avoid similarities with the previous versions. I would expect no Magneto or Apocalypse for a long time. Mr. Sinister would be a good opening villain though, combined with a low-level one like Omega Red or Juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I hope they don't go too young with X-Men. I would agree with not going too young. As a matter of fact... I would love it if they would find a way to keep Jackman as wolverine. He is obviously getting old, but Wolverine is a pretty old guy with slowed aging. Jackman could still play the role for another 10 years if he stays in shape.
