Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[Jayson1]

I suspect they are saving Norrin Radd for the sequel. I think people sort of want to see 3 folks in a Fantastic Four movie. Norrin Radd,Dr, Doom and Galactus. If they make 3 Fantastic Four movies they will likely want to spread these people out so at least one of them will be in each movie. Also Norrin Radd strikes me as a character they are going to be really careful with because he could be someone, if he works out who gets a movie of his own. In the meantime Garner's character gives you a little Silver Surfer action and sort of teases the future arrival of Norrin Radd. I would also not be shocked if he or his role in Fantastic Four is teased in a post credit scene. It will likely be him or Doom. I do wonder if Garner's character and Radd will be dating like I believe was the case in the comics.

I want to see The Inhumans, but that's probably out. I'd also like The Skrulls and Namor, please.

That's not true, is it? I mean we already know that it is highly probably Americans have voted in their last free election for at least a generation and the Constitution will be suspended or amended--but I highly doubt that corporate entities are bowing before their new overlords already.

It's called obeying in advance. Often, people see the wind blowing in the direction of fascism or authoritarianism and pre-emptively start conforming for fear of punishment. Which is one of the factors that allows fascism to take root.

With the failure of the show and the arrival of the X-Men I got to think it will be long time before we see them use the Inhumans again.

"We" don't know that. Unless "we" refers to mental patients.

Seen the movie, have you?

Master, is that you?

Sometimes I marvel (no pun) at the way actors get gifts on top of their crazy pay amounts (and free food for the entirety of their job!) and they get to steal from work and tell stories about how they stole on TV like it's a funny story.

Imagine it being that way with our loser-level jobs.

In this case, this wasn't something he stole, it was a wrap gift, which is a regular thing. As far as I know it's something they either the production company or individual producers get or have made, and then at the end of the last day of filming, the pass them out to all of the cast and crew.

I want to see The Inhumans, but that's probably out. I'd also like The Skrulls and Namor, please.

I doubt we'll see the Inhumans again after the show bombed, the Skrulls at this point are already associated with Capt. Marvel and Fury, so I doubt we'll see them connected to the FF too. I'm not sure about Namor, we haven't heard anything about plans for him since the accusations against Tenoch Huerta Mejia, so he might be out too, but I don't think the accusations have led to much, so I'm not sure.

Yes. That's why the first thing I mentioned was actors getting gifts. Then after that I went on a related mini-rant.

 

[JD]

Oh, I thought you saying that the stuff they were stealing were their gifts.

 

[Tosk]

Nah, two separate "actor things".

 

[JD]

I understand now.

 

[theenglish]

Not exactly a spoiler. It's what the MAGA party (a term I'm using to separate them from Republicans who are probably a dead party now) have been saying all along and supported by the fascists that Trump has been nominating these past days.

Can we please keep real life politics out of the thread (yes I know I was the one that sorta started it)

 

[theenglish]

Yeah--I'm sorry. I will go on over to the NZ if I want to make more comments. I missed posting about COVID in December 2019 though--so now my prediction is on record. I will avoid future steps over the line.

Especially when one understands the level of power and influence corporations have over politicians on both sides. Many are bought and paid for as soon they raise their hand to take an oath.

With the failure of the show and the arrival of the X-Men I got to think it will be long time before we see them use the Inhumans again.

Good. The failure of a C-level concept (at best)--under normal circumstances--does not warrant a return.

Thank you. Everyone would be well-advised to follow this.

Looky here, some actual news!

Okay, not actual news, just confirmation of what we expected:

Deadline reported on Feige’s appearance, where he first spoke about his excitement for The Fantastic Four: The First Steps. “Finally, [we’re] bringing Marvel’s First Family into the MCU,” Feige said. “They wrap next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go right into the next Avengers movies, so I’m very excited for the future of the Fantastic Four.”​

​

So there you go. The Fantastic Four are confirmed for the next two Avengers movies. Which we all pretty much assumed, but it’s nice to hear. Feige later addressed the second Avengers movie, Secret Wars. “I think you will see [mutant introductions] continues in our next few movies with some X-Men players that you might recognize,” he said. “Right after that, the whole story of Secret Wars really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men. Again, [it’s] one of those dreams come true. We finally have the X-Men back.”​

 

[JD]

I wonder if this means Secret Wars will introduce the X-Men as being from another alternate universe, probably the one we saw in The Marvels post credits scene? This makes me wonder if we might see them pull a Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths and end with the MCU, the Fantastic Four's home universe and the X-Men's all mashed up into one new Earth.

I think that would make sense to mash them all together into one earth. Though I like the idea that the X-Men universe we saw in the movies and where Deadpool lives, continues to exist by itself. Deadpool though has the ability to go back and forth and also it opens the door of using other characters maybe from time to time. Evan Peters as Quicksilver of course being one example.

Would be cool if Reed Richards comes up with a way to save their universes from 'merging', but the resultant save is like a gateway connecting them where each universe pulls on another to maintain some type of equilibrium.

Which would leave them their own 'stories', but also the possibility of crossovers. I also personally really REALLY don't want to lose the '50s/60s futureworld' look in the Fantastic Four movie.

Don't forget Ralph Bohner.
