I already knew about Blade and The Eternals and Shang-Chi, but nice that the Vision is coming back somehow to a TV series. And just by its title, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness should be nicely bonkers. I almost feel they’re missing the 5 exclamation marks, there.
I am very much looking forward to this next phase. It sounds like they’ve found more confidence, and are doing some pretty weird stuff, of which I heartily approve.
They were, but most of the attention has been on the new stuff, and the reporting has been rather scattershot. Check the graphic in the middle of the page linked.
Yep, expanding things to television give them a LOT more content to produce. And it looks like Kevin Feige is now in charge of the Marvel content for Disney+ as well. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, as Disney+ comes only Agents of Shield is going away.
It’s also interesting that it looks like the MCU is going to lean into the multiverse concept that was mentioned in Far from Home. Doctor Strange 2 looks like it’ll bring that up - from the title - and maybe Fantastic Four? It would be a way to introduce a fully formed FF to the MCU.
Honestly, the Fantastic Four really has me going. I want to see it done right.
And if they bring in a Doom who’s a scientist AND a magician - and not a damn blogger, God help me - that could tie in with the whole multiverse/quantum realm/magic thing they’ve got going now. That could be the next ten years.
I’m lukewarm on the Fantastic Four themselves, but they have some of the best villains. I hope they’ll develop Dr. Doom over multiple films instead of having him dealt with in a single Fantastic Four film.
Only 10 in 2 years? I figure at the current rate in about 10 years 90% of all movies will be based on comic books. But as they say, nothing succeeds like success.
Well that doesn’t include DC movies, or the New Mutants movie which might be released at some point, having already been filmed.
Well, the Netflix ones have gone as a prelude, and there isn’t really anything else to go. Inhumans failed. Agent Carter was cancelled. Noone cares about Cloak and Dagger, I don’t think, or Runaways, which are both on Disney owned platforms anyway,
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the TEN RINGS? A tie-in to the Iron Man movies! Maybe some expansion on that Marvel short video which hinted at a real Mandarin?
There’s something big missing here, namely, some sort of “capper” to the Phase. A Thor solo movie doesn’t sound to me like something that has the scale of the Avengers films capping off the prior phases. (Of course, Cap 3 was essentially an Avengers movie, so I suppose they could make that happen in a Thor movie.) Shouldn’t there still be an Avengers team in the post-Endgame MCU? Where’s Avengers 5?
well many people said Star Wars 1,2,3 were the worst movies in the history of the universe. But they are still cranking out Star Wars movies much faster now , 1 per year.
