The Clown Prince of Crime
Super Freak
Kang is in an Antman movie. How embarrassing...
Jye, are you off your meds again?
The other posters are better. What really disappoints me is the Spider-Man posters. Ever since 3 they have all been complete ***. Spider-Man posters use to be art. I’ll never forget being hyped seeing that twin towers Spider-Man poster as a kid. Looked so coolMember when we got decent posters for movies that weren’t done by graphic design interns?

Oh yeah, this is the Ant-Man 3 thread. Uh... Huh. Wherever I go literally nobody actually talks about the movie itself. They just wanna see Klawng's first proper appearance. And it makes sense. If you read the spoilers the trailer basically shows how the entire thing goes down and there are no real surprises. It's a movie that exists solely to introduce Klawng.
To be fair, their Post-MCU movies did tank. Evans has disappeared (EDIT: he did Knives Out and that flick with Gosling, but dunno how much that counts) and RDJ's Doolittle flopped, but at least he's in the new Nolan movie about Oppenheimer. Either way, they'll surely return for Secret Wars. The rest, I don't know. Norton and Marvel didn't part ways amicably and Snipes has his own issues. Ali's Blade will come out in 2024 and will be part of the Midnight Suns. I don't think he'd want to be upstaged or Snipes would like to be a cameo. SW will bank on Fox nostalgia I think. The X-Men and the old FF, plus a lot of MCU centric AUs. Jackman and Tobey alone with Gruffudd's redemption (which'd also allow him to come back in more FF flicks as an AU Reed) and the usual Stewart/McKellen and Fassbender/McAvoy duos would be enough for the GA to clap and buy. And seeing as Cage is always game for a caperole, I think it'd be better to wait for a proper MCU role, not a cameo. Unless of course he appears as some ultra powerful GR and carries over in the MCU as the mentor GR training Danny/Robbie/etc.Unlike Thanos and the stones, there's close to no ramp in time for the future Avengers movies. There is literally no choice but to make this an Antman movie in name only.
But taking the long perspective, I see exactly what Feige is doing. He's hoping Chris Evans and RDJ's projects outside the MCU stall on them. And when they need a hit bad enough and they aren't as bankable anymore, they'll come crawling back as a multi-verse version of Captain America and Iron Man. It's also how he can bring back someone like Ed Norton as a different Hulk and Wesley Snipes as a different universe Blade.
I figure past SW they'll be done with it. They'll bring in whoever's still interested/alive, they'll make bank on the memberies and then move on with the X-Men. I am curious though if they'll soft reboot and have new versions of Iron Man and the such around. I don't think it's possible as that'd invalidate the "younger crop" they're pushing, but it is a thought.The Multi-Verse is the ultimate retcon treasure chest. It also means anyone can be recast on a dime.
Howard was a far better Rhodes, agreed. I genuinely still do not understand what they saw in Cheadle and cast him as Rhodey. It's not even that they didn't give him a lot of material, he's wrong for the role, period.Personally I would find great joy in seeing Terrence Howard come back as Rhodes, then he shoots Mark Ruffalo in the head. With Ruffalo playing Mark Ruffalo in a meta storyline for the MCU. Kind of like Being John Malkovich, except Malkovich can actually act and Ruffalo just shows up and spits out lines like he's a woke weeping human bidet.
Listen Victor, I write some long posts sometimes, you write some long posts sometimes. If you want to do me a favor, write a long examination on why Ruffalo's version and portrayal of the Hulk drags down the entire MCU. Or, more effectively, why all viewers should despise Mark Ruffalo. Even his name irritates me. He sounds like a cartoon character that has a side career making chicken sauce.
I get why they did Eternals, and characters like Shang-Chi can help expand the brand. But Agatha? Echo? Wonder Man? Christ. Blue Marvel I don't mind. He's like Reed x Superman. The problem is that he's obviously based on Denzel, and when he appears he'll probably be played by some 30-something nobody which simply doesn't work. Brashear needs to be on the older side. And they've already wasted Fishbourne who'd have been fantastic in the role. Ali's Blade. Foxx was wasted coming back as Electro. It's not that there aren't any actors who can pull off "scientist Superman", it's that you need the grey temples and professor attitude for him to work.Pretty much. It’s very frustrating. You wanted the xmen and ff and it’s lore and characters so freaking use them! This isn’t 2014 where you need to scrape the bottom of the barrel. You have pretty all the characters back. Yea gotg was good but that’s because you released well known characters to get good faith in the brand. All these crap no name characters nobody cares about like eternals and Agatha and Star fox or Shang chi (he’s ok actually) and wonder man and blue marvel. Just stop lol. Marvel wasn’t built on those characters. They aren’t relevant for a reason.
They won't recast. They'll just do some time travel nonsense and T'Challa II will be aged up. That way they get to have their cake and eat it too. In 2028 we'll get Black Panther x Storm and they'll get to keep the franchise running for another decade+.Stop stalling and go big again. Also recast tchalla. What an embarrassing mess that movie was. Better hope secret wars has every mcu character in the book or people are gonna opt out.
Much as I've ridiculed Klawng, he doesn't deserve to have his big fight be against Kate Bishop and She-Hulk. The whole point of Kang is that he's coming back to this point in time to test himself against the legends. But of course even that's been ruined, as the MCU version has apparently killed many Avengers teams off-screen. See, this is why Multiverse nonsense right off the bat sucks. This isn't even Kang at this point, it's an OC. Without his honour-autism he's just a **** with a time machine. And if you give him a sob-story background you ruin the fun of him being a **** with a time machine. You need that balance, otherwise he's a swallow and stupid character.Nobody wants to see the b team of nobodies fight kang
I can't imagine being invested in the MCU at this point. I still keep up because all of my favourites still haven't shown up, so I'm compelled to. I've got problems, what can I do? But I don't see how they think they'll get to keep the attention of the General Audience with what they've got coming up. The D+ shows were already not doing so hot. But sure, throw the literal Z-Lister Wonder Man and a Vision show at people, that'll surely work. They could've used the budget to make a better MK show or something, but nope, gotta have Agatha...I'd just rather watch The Boys or Invincible over the MCU these days.
Until the FF and X-Men show up, I don’t care about the MCUPretty much. It’s very frustrating. You wanted the xmen and ff and it’s lore and characters so freaking use them! This isn’t 2014 where you need to scrape the bottom of the barrel. You have pretty all the characters back.

Jeez...it's like Marvel is now a factory that just pushes out product that skips the store and heads right to the landfill. But will there be any space left when all that Wakanda merch ends up there after it goes nowhere on clearance? This thing just looks so faceless and boring.
I saw some plot leaks from that show and I have no idea why it’s being made. I blame those idiots that made that stupid song popular.I’m excited for the Agatha Cinematic Universe.
