Interesting. Could be a good thing. There’s enough new characters being introduced in ‘The Multiverse Saga’ already. X-Men would be a great way to kick off Phase 7.
They would except Secret Wars is Phase 6 and it would seem like Secret Wars needs the X-Men.
I mean, I know no story needs anyone in particular. I guess I just associate the X-Men with that story more than anyone.
So they're building towards the next major threat being the villain from the end of Loki?
Gah, I really didn't think much of that character; I don't remember them all that much, but I do remember not liking them. I assume there's a lot of development to do.
I didn’t like him much either, but supposedly he was one version of the Kang character, called He Who Remains, who ended a Multiversal war that involved his own variants.
I’m presuming that the one in our universe will be a right bastard.
Given the planning involved I can't imagine the X-Men were ever really on the cards pre-2025 and after the stink-fest of the latter films Fox made it probably needed a rest. Bringing in the X-Men will be big but only really if some recognisable faces make the transition. Otherwise I'm happy for a fresh start post-Secret Wars.
Don't Expect Egerton As X-Men's Cyclops - Dark Horizons
Egerton continues to spill the beans saying he shut down talk of playing Cyclops with Marvel because he didn't like the idea of playing a character whose eyes were covered all the time
Can’t remember who referenced the importance of Quantumania - it might have been you, Neon - but I now accept that the fidelity/hook of the entire three phase saga is going to depend on Ant-Man’s new film. From what I’ve read, that’s the lynchpin that gets everything else moving with greater cohesion. I’ve tried to watch that atrocious bootleg trailer doing the rounds, which was a complete waste of time, but those with more patience than I have suggested a darker tone than the other two films.
Wakanda Forever will be an interesting one to watch in terms of how it lands. The original's success disproportionately due to the US in comparison to other MCU movies. It was a success by any metric but typically MCU movies lean to being internationally led whereas BP really hit hard in the states meaning that if that one country groundswell was to temper to normal levels you're looking at something closer to perhaps Ragnarok levels of a hit? BP also benefitted from the pre-Infinity War/Endgame hype which Captain Marvel presumably did too as that film is just kinda... there. We're in Phase 4 quiet in a way so WF has to recall that hype alone, part of what makes the Movie Bingo thread fun
After setting the stage at Comic-Con, the studio is lining up helmers and years' worth of storylines that will conclude with a familiar one-two punch of 'Avengers' movies.
