Well, narrating is only one aspect of acting and it's hardly conclusive to one's overall acting ability if one isn't good at it. Just ask Harrison Ford.

I know, I know. I'm just saying, what I've seen so far hasn't left much of an impression.
 
While that's a reasonable idea, I'd like it better if I found Van Camp more interesting as an actress. She's no Hayley Atwell.


I've seen four seasons of "REVENGE". I believe Ms. VanCamp is just as interesting. Only she is a bit more subtle than Ms. Atwell.
 
It's not like you have to be a master thespian to get a role on Agents of SHIELD.

Screen Rant reports that Marvel Studios plans to release an official timeline, although the format of the timeline hasn't been decided on yet.

Kevin Feige: All of that debate has encouraged us. We are going to be publishing an official, and I’m not sure when, or in what format, an official timeline. It’ll probably be apart of ah, I don’t know, apart of an in print that you can fold out and look at. But suffice to say, only in limited cases do we ever actually say what the actual years are because we never want to be tied down to a particular year and I think people assume that whenever the movie is released is when is when the movie is taking place, and that is not the case.​
 
What concerns me is that Feige's comments implicitly ignore the TV MCU. Agents of SHIELD has been pretty consistent about treating the events of the films as taking place in roughly real time, and I'm pretty sure they've cited the date more than once (though I could be wrong).

I'm sure I can find a way to No-Prize the whole thing. I managed to do it with End of the Beginning and the follow-up episode. I think the real trick will end up making the gap between Coulson's death and resurrection take a little longer and have the first season take place over more than a year.

I certainly wouldn't put any stock in date references since I think even the movies have date references that'll likely be obsolete.

Or any other comic book hero movie or television production.

Marvel hasn't decided on an official timeline for the movies, yet?:wtf:
 
They said release an official timeline. Not create. But does it really matter anyway?

Yeah, because they presumably already have one that they use in-house to keep things straight, but they just haven't made it public yet. They do have the whole movie series plotted out years in advance, after all.
 
All right. The X-Men and the Fantastic Four are coming home. What do you hope to see Kevin Feige do with these jewels of the Marvel crown?

For the X-Men, I want to see a movie that focuses on the O5-- Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast with Professor X more of a background figure. Five teens coming to terms with who and what they are and how they will fit into the world moving forward. Wolverine and the rest can wait.

For the FF, I have in other threads stated my preference for the 60s period piece that Peyton Reed of Ant-Man fame once pitched to FOX before they hired Tim Story.
 
Both ideas sound good to me. I'm especially fond of the idea of the Fantastic Four as a period piece and then they move up in time because of space travel (fall in a wormhole or whatever). They're iconic heroes of people like Tony and Bruce, while missed colleagues like Hank and Peggy.

I also hope this means we'll finally get a proper take on Silver Surfer, maybe even a film of his own. I figure it's too late by now, but I would love to see him have some role in Avengers 4. The cosmic world is getting introduced with those two Avengers films and he would be a natural segue.
 
I'd want the X-Men as adults. No more teen heroes. Start from a story influenced by Giant Size X-Men #1 with the four of the original Five X-Men retiring (maybe they were a hidden team of heroes the whole time), and bring in the second main X-Men team (Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Banshee, maybe Sunfire and Thunderbird, although maybe drop Banshee for someone like Psylocke to add more women to the team).

Then maybe adapt parts of later comics. Take the Kitty Pride stuff with the hellfire Club from the comic version of Dark Phoenix saga's prologue so the movie has a character for the younger audience, but don't use Jean grey or anything related to the Phoenix (its going to beyond played out after Dark Phoenix comes out). Make the hellfire Club the main bad guys, while setting up things like Sentinels for a later movie.
