    I think some details are being inferred by set photos and bits of information so far

    -Ant-man- Pulled into a Time Vortex

    -Older actress cast for Cassie his daughter

    -Gray haired Tony

    -Toy merchandise showing off some type of suit worn by Rocket and Thor. My guess is after all the other Guardians are gone that Rocket joins the Avengers

    The suit might be a new version of Hank Pyms quantum realm suit


    CGI dots to add the suit in

    I can't find the quote, the Russo brothers have said that A4 is inspired by All Good things, which could be taken a few ways, but it does seem multiple events will feature at different points in time.

    Sooo...nothing but some guy on Twitter and mountains of speculation. The opposite of confirmation.

    Meh, that's not confirmation, that's just another rumor.

    Actually, I've expected there to be some kind of time jump before there was ever any kind of rumors to the effect. I've suspected it ever since they announced that they cast a teenage Cassie Lang.

    It could still be some kind of time travel, without the whole movie jumping forward.
    Not to say a time jump isn't a very good possibility, it's just not the only one.

    Marsden is very sad.
    Isn't that the main plot point of Spider-man One More Day?

    Eh, kinda sorta.

    Parker saw an image of what his future daughter would have looked like. That’s not the same as actually having a child that you know and love. Also, Parker did it to save just one life, not trillions.

    Anyway, nothing wrong with taking plot ideas from the comics. Much of Thor: Ragnarok was basically Planet Hulk, and it was great despite my having seen it before.

    Well, that was two and a half hours of "so the fuck what?"

    A set-up for a reset. Meh.

    I'm glad I saw it as an in-flight movie; it's not like I was gonna do something more worthwhile with the time.

    The Question is, how will it be reset and what will be the price?

    The answers are:
    1. Whatever lame deus ex machina or rabbit trick the Marvel managers feel like throwing to their uncritical audience; and
    2. As much as they think they can get you to pay at the box office.
    There are no rules, no stakes and no real cost.

    So it's okay when DC kills Superman and brings him back with a Magic Box, or X-Men kills off characters and uses time travel to bring them back with no sacrifice, but bad if the MCU kills off characters and then (most likely) sacrifices it's OG to bring them back and the world carries on with the original heroes all gone. Gotcha.

    So, again, it's gonna be a real Live Action Marvel Comic Book. <---- And that's what the fans like. ;)

    That's what I like about the MCU. They feel like live action comic books, a genre I love.

    Comic books feel like comic books, and I like them.

    I also occasionally like chewing gum. I would never praise a cheeseburger because "it tastes like chewing gum, which I love."

    Most Marvel movies are lowest common denominator trash, as films. As Pavlovian behavioral conditioning, they're pretty successful.

    So...if you dislike Marvel movies so much, why do you continue to post in this thread? Why the need to convince people who clearly do enjoy them that they shouldn't?
