Thought I'd repeat this idea here

A few years ago the idea of four civilians going into space seemed a bit preposterous. They even dumped the space angle in the last FF films. But with the advent of SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin it's no longer. So, I can see Reed as a Elon Musk type building his own rocket and recruiting his friends as crew.
 
Gael García Bernal is set to star in Werewolf by Night, per Variety.
Did we know they were doing Werewolf by Night? I don't remember hearing about it.

I've been wonder for a while now if there is a specific reason the MCU has avoided using Balder? He seems to be pretty big part of the comics, but he hasn't shown up in the movies, and unless I missed it, they haven't even mentioned or hinted at him anywhere.
 
I'm not convinced AoS is in the MCU. :shrug:

It might have started out that way but their paths very clearly diverged after Marvel Studios separated from Marvel Entertainment.
 
I think if you don't look too close and ignore that the snap's not referenced you might handwave the later series into the MCU. Or you could take it that AOS time travelling branced off. Or something.

I'm going the multiversal route for AOS, the Netflix shows, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways etc. Even the Inhumans. They all took place in other branches, but remarkably similar (or even identical) events happened in the main MCU too, at least until they obviously...didn't.

Nah, to me that's a cheat. I'm cool with the avenues the multiverse opens up as seen in Loki and What If?, but we were told that the shows were in the MCU and any backtracking would - to me - be a failure. Even crappy outings like Inhumans and season 1 of Iron Fist happened. In comics if there's a bad run you just let it sit for a bit until a writer comes along with another take. If you start rebooting every time you're unhappy with anything, you become modern DC Comics (Superman's my favourite superhero and they put out some great books, but man is their continuity a joke). One of the few actual differences between DC and Marvel books is that Marvel has a mostly continuous universe (with exceptions for the sliding timescale and folding Miles Morales in post the modern Secret Wars), and I'd love for the MCU to hold to that tradition. Plus, AoS, Agent Carter and most of the Netflix shows were awesome, and Cloak and Dagger and Runaways were pretty good (still in the middle of Helstrom).

You'd probably be better accepting that that's not the case now rather than being forced to later. The relationship between the TV and MCU shows was always problematic until Ike Perlmutter was removed from the situation.
 
I wonder what's going to get announced at Disney Plus Day on Friday? TBH most of the stuff that was announced last year still hasn't come out so I'm not expecting lots.

Official confirmation of the Echo series and Werewolf By Night. Maybe the Ten Rings series hinted at the end of Shang-Chi.
 
Also, is Nicholas Hammond in the Spidey movie ?

If not, why Is Nicholas Hammond Not In The Spidey Movie ?
He actually wanted to do it, but says that Marvel never approached him to appear.
I almost wonder if this a fake out just to remind people that there was another live action Spidey besides Holland, Maguire, and Garfield.
I had forgotten all about him until he article, and I have a feeling most people don't know he was Spider-Man. Which is what really makes me wonder if this was a fake out, because it seems kind of weird to do an article about how an actor most people probably didn't know played Spider-Man, isn't going to be playing Spider-Man again.
 
I'm reading in places on the web that Ms. Marvel is apparently slated for Q4 2022 on Disney+. That's later than I would have guessed. Covid delays? Perhaps with the special effects? Your guess is probably better than mine.

Disney's Financial Q4 which is next Summer. Possibly connected to the delay to The Marvels?
