So Marvel has just dropped this rather tasty appetiser for phase 4, including the reveal that Black Panther 2 is subtitled ‘Wakanda Forever.’
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread
- Thread starter bbjeg
- Start date
The Marvels... with Carol, Monica, and Kamala! I love it. Between that, Black Widow, the Wasp, and the dominance of women in Wakanda Forever's cast list, Marvel is really trying to make up for the lack of female title characters in the first three phases.
Fantastic. Plus, need footage from Black Widow!
Indeed. Making up for Ike Perlmutter's shitty, sexist blockade.
Too bad they haven't established the X-Men in the MCU yet, they could have included Jean Grey / Marvel Girl.
...or maybe it's the one that will introduce her?!
(I don't think that'll actually happen)
Disney did everything it could to remove him from having any power over Marvel anymore. He hasn't sold his stock, so odds are they found something underhanded he did to blackmail him into being a silent shareholder.
OK, that's fair. I haven't watched Capt. Marvel in a while, so I don't really remember what it established about the Skrulls.
Just saw the new video on Youtube, and that is a great line up. Love the new titles for Capt. Marvel 2 and Black Panther 2.
We also got our first bits of footage from The Eternals, and more footage from Shang-Chi.
I think the Black Widow footage was all stuff we've seen in the trailers. I couldn't tell was the clip before the title reveal for Wakanda Forever new or from the first one?
EDIT: Never mind, what I thought was Black Panther footage was more Eternals.
IGN has some screencaps of The Eternals footage, if anyone wants a better look.
I was perusing the TV schedule and saw this listed for tonight which sounds bizarre:

My hope for The Marvels is that they actually let Carol have some fun and depict Captain Marvel as a Superman-like figure on Earth. And don't give her amnesia for three quarters of the fucking movie.
I liked the way Captain Marvel used Carol's memory loss. We learned about her at the same time she did. Even the flashbacks were her real-time experiences as Talos probed her memories. Structurally, it was very deft and clever.
But of course, it's no longer necessary in a sequel where the basic exposition is no longer required.
A comics Captain Marvel, rather. Monica was the second of the many Captains Marvel in the Marvel Universe, the first woman to hold the title, 30 years before Carol Danvers inherited it.
I don't really think she is a Superman-like on Earth in terms of sentiment from the public simply because Superman stayed on Earth most of the time. Carol seems to have spent a lot of time offworld. Supes is flying around saving people from everyday life/death situations.
I can certainly understand her having a following and especially being the most or one of the most powerful superheros plus being female.
But in terms of Supes vs Captain Marvel I'm not sure Captain Marvel was on Earth enough to be putting out massive building fires, saving in trouble aircraft, vehicles about to fall off highways, etc...
Not that we've seen, no, but there must've been some of that in the five-year gap or afterward, if they're keeping the aspect of Kamala Khan being a major Carol Danvers fangirl.
She's a Marvel, but not a Marvel....or maybe it's the one that will introduce her?!
(I don't think that'll actually happen)
I think my issue with the amnesia story is that it just resulted in her being a fairly bland character for much of the movie.
Yeah they either need to explain she stuck around on Earth for a while during The Blip (can't believe they kept that name) or that she stuck around after Endgame to explain Kamala (and presumably others) being such a big fan. Can't all be based on cellphone footage of her fighting Thanos surely.
