    I think people forget that this isn't the '70s anymore and these Disney+ shows have movie-level budgets.

    I think you mean the opposite, that it's a non-issue. "Non-starter" means a plan that fails before it begins, like a horse that fails to start a race.

    A non-issue is something that is a non-starter as an issue, so what @Nerys Myk posted was perfectly cromulent. Funnily enough, they're not exactly opposites.

    I thought Jennifer Walters had been in her Hulk form 24/7 since she was turned into She-Hulk.

    No, but there was a time where she stayed in her Hulk form either by choice or happenstance.

    OK. When I wrote my other post I was thinking they would have to turn Maslany into a CGI Hulk for every single scene she was going to be in, and that seemed like a lot of unnecessary work.

    That was true until the Dan Slott run in 2004. Since then, she's been able to go back and forth. IIRC, Slott established that she'd been "stuck" as She-Hulk due to a psychological block, not wanting to go back to being Jen, more than a physical inability.

    Indeed, in the Mariko Tamaki run in 2016, after Jen went through an ordeal that changed her into a more savage gray Hulk, she spent pretty much the first several issues as Jen before finally Hulking out.

    Oh, OK, I have no problem with Maslany then.

    Rumor mill, Jennifer Lawrence is Sue Storm.

    I like the casting, but the only place I've seen this is we've got this covered.

    ETA: which doesn't necessarily mean I discount the rumor entirely. It just means that I'm not going to get my hopes up yet.

    Will the Universe explode when Sue Storm meets Mystique eventually?

    Mystique will look like someone else and Sue will be invisible.

    Will Mystique disguise herself as Sue, you wanted to say?

    The rumors I'm seeing claim that some news outler wrote Jennifer Lawrence was going to Australia to film Fantastic Four soon. Which seems like obvious bullshit since the director is currently working on a completely different project and marvel hasn't even officially announced a production date or release date yet.

    I doubt there's anything to it at all. But if Marvel somehow has ninjaed us all with jumping straight into F4 production without anyone finding out, she could also still be any character in the movie, not necessarily Sue. Which would be good because I really don't see her as Sue, but I would definitely enjoying seeing her in the MCU.

    I honestly doubt marvel wants to cast a big name known actress in that part, anyway.

    I discount it. We've Got This Covered is pure garbage. Get me a reliable source.

    At the same time as Human Torch meets Captain America and a different Human Torch meets Killmonger.

    Every week now we get one of these non-entity websites or garbage tabloids magically managing to circumvent Marvel/Disney's legendary secrecy to deliver a scoop whose main function seems to be to draw attention to them.

    As has been pointed out Jon Watts is still shooting Spider-Man and will then be into post-production on it after that. The new Fantastic Four film is a long long way away from shooting.

    Yeah, at this point Marvel has way to much on it's plate for them to be secretly filming another movie they haven't announced yet.

    Well, just to play devil's advocate, the MCU introduced both Black Panther and Spider-Man in Civil War, before their respective solo films. So they could cast the FF before they started making an FF movie.

    Brie Larson was announced as Captain Marvel in July of 2016. Filming didn't begin until January of 2018, and the movie didn't come out till 2019.
