Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[JD]

Yeah, that big kind of confused me too, but it's worth keeping in mind this is from a third party retailer from India, not actually Marvel, so there might be some mistakes here and there.

They definitely toned down Sersi

And we have a new Eternals leak today, a series of pictures of an add for the LEGO sets has been posted to Twitter.
It's hard to tell in LEGO form, but it looks like we'll be getting some pretty cool designs.

 

[Ethros]

Probably been discussed before, but wasn't The Eternals originally meant to be out after Black Widow, but now there's Shang Chi first, and then Eternals. Just wondered if there's any reason why they switched the order at all?

Bear in mind some of these sets are just LEGO only. There's no indication we'll see these scenes played out in the movie

When Red Skull and his A.I.M. Agents attack the Avengers Tower, it's up to you, Iron Man and Black Widow to protect the tower and New York City.

I didn't even realize it had been switched, but just to guess at the reason I'd imagine Eternals probably ties into something that's been more heavily delayed by the pandemic and Shang-Chi is either more stand-alone or at least ties in in ways that don't require it to come out close to whatever it ties into.

It's also taking a lot longer to do the effects from home, and Shang-Chi is probably going to have less effects, so they might be able to finish sooner than The Eternals.

Yeah, that's a good point. Even if we don't see these exact scenes play out, it's still a good way to get at least some idea what the movie might look like.

Bourne series director Paul Greengrass has revealed that he was in talks to direct Fox's X-Men vs Fantastic Four movie, which also would have included Daredevil and Deadpool.
It's a shame this didn't happen, if could have been really cool.

 

[Reverend]

It could also have been an colossal train wreck. Given Fox's uneven track record with this kind of thing, my money is on "train wreck".

 

[JD]

Yeah, sadly, I guess you're probably right.

 

[Reverend]

Also as the man himself says, this was just "a conversation". If every "conversation" of this sort is to be considered "a movie that almost was" then Hollywood is "almost making" about 5 million movies a year.

According to Io9's Morning Spoilers, there is a rumor going around that Elijah Richardson will appear as Eli Bradley, aka the Young Avengers' Patriot, in two episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

In Capt. Marvel, did Carol call Monica Rambeau "Lt. Trouble" at one point? I was just reading one of the trades of Kelley Su DeConnick's run of the comics, and in it there was a neighbor girl who she called that, and when I read that I thought I remembered her calling Monica that once or twice in the movie.

According to this transcript, yes.

Also in her first appearance in the comics, Monica was a Lieutenant in the Harbor Patrol.

 

[JD]

Cool, I'm assuming they must have included that on purpose as an Easter Egg. DeConnick was a consultant on the movie, so it's not a surprise something like that from her comics would pop up in it.

What? How could, "Jam all the Marvel characters we currently have the rights to into one film and see what happens." possibly have gone wrong?

 

[Captaindemotion]

This isn’t really a movie that looks likely to happen, but this seems as appropriate a thread as any to post it in. I imagine the idea of Zack Snyder making an Elektra film will be as divisive as most of his other comic adaptations:

I saw the headline earlier and thought he said Daredevil, which would be a terrible idea. Elektra, frankly, could work a lot better. Elektra Lives Again is a very odd story overall, but I'd have no problem with him adapting it (especially since it's out of continuity).

He does seem to have a bit of affection for Frank Miller, so it could work well.

Zack Snyder directing a movie based on a Frank Miller comic?
