Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

^I think Scarlet Witch will be with them. She'd probably be against being registered.

 

[Turtletrekker]

At the very least she'd be anti-Stark.

 

[bbjeg]

I'm torn deciding what side Natasha would be on. She's close with Steve in the movies but didn't she side with Stark in the comics?

 

[Mr Light]

No, she was pro-Reg because she was on the Mighty Avengers team afterwards.

Wasn't Stark pro-reg though?

 

[Mr Light]

yeah, Iron Man lead the registration movement.

 

[bbjeg]

So what were you saying no to?

 

[Mr Light]

oop, I misread your first post I thought you were saying she would side with Cap. n/m

 

[Reverend]

Yeah I think the more dramatic way to go with this would be to keep Widow on Stark's side of the argument precisely because--thanks to TWS--we already have a very firmly established friendship between Steve and Nat.

There's not as much drama with Cap and Stark going at it since they've always had...I don't want to say antagonistic relationship, but let's call it a less than harmonious interaction.

Plus I can see why Nat would be pro-reg. She's a normal human who's dealt with the very worst of people and seen what damage an out of control enhanced can do. Combine the two and you have a population seeded with time bombs just waiting to go off. As much as Steve has clearly had an effect on her outlook, she's still very pragmatic when it comes to balancing principles against what needs doing.

Plus she used to work for SHIELD which already had a policy of registering superhumans on their index.

I don't know. Not only are Steve and her close but now Widow and Hulk have a thing. Though both are pretty much already registered, I doubt she'd be against either of them not registering.

It's not about whether or not they want to personally register, it's about whether registry should be forced on the enhanced populous. In the comics it was mostly mutants, but in the MCU it's likely to be the Inhumans descendents that ate the terrigen fish oil.

Widow's attitude towards this policy probably won't have a lot to do with how much she does or doesn't personally like those effected by it.

yeah, I doubt they are going to make Agents of Shield that important to the plot of Civil War.

Just saw this:

 

[Trekker4747]

So, apparently Matthew McConaughey is being courted as reboot Norman Osbourne.

.... I can see it.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

So what starts with S and N?

ETA: H and N, wasn't paying attention

 

[Booji]

Could the soul gem be Adam Warlock, aka Him?

 

[bbjeg]

Ash found the time gem. It was the necronomicon. (the actual Evil Dead)

Neat find Rincewiend.

So, apparently Matthew McConaughey is being courted as reboot Norman Osbourne.

.... I can see it.

He'd definitely be a new take on the character. I see him being more spoiled than the evil villain his predecessor were.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Norman Osborn...they're going there yet again....

 

[Trekker4747]

I think it'd be kind of interesting to see him do it. I just wonder how he can do it without being too... McConaughey-ey. And do it with a shirt on.

Nah, he's actually a pretty good and talented actor but he just has a.... "ness" about him that sort of makes him stand out as him playing "him" and not a character. Perhaps the only time I've not seen in this him is him playing present-day/older Cole in "True Detective" where he was pretty damn brilliant.

There were lots of rumors the last couple of weeks of him supposedly looking for a role with either DC or Marvel and some questions on who he would best fit for. My thoughts were Booster Gold, alas...
