The Marvel/Sony Superhero Movies Thread

[megladon8]

Sorry for my piss poor wording. Haven’t been sleeping well and, and wrote this in the wee hours.

[Ezee E]

I'd be more interested in their opinions on say The Favourite, personally.

[Dukefrukem]

I can't imagine this is true, but there's a rumour claiming the Black Widow movie will be Marvel Studios first R-rated film.

Feige confirmed this to be false.

lol that makeup progression on Mystique. Party City was cleaned out.

[megladon8]

I just wish there weren’t so many girl characters.

Statistics show that 95.6% of people find men more interesting than women.

[Skitch]

Sigh. Remaking this story and so many great X-Men villains still have zero screen time. C'mon dammit.

[Ezee E]

Only got interested because of the end and the Genosha (?) approach.

[Milky Joe]

On the bright side, it can't be worse than X3.

[transmogrifier]

On the bright side, it can't be worse than X3.

I don’t know, Apocalypse managed it.

[Milky Joe]

Not by a long shot

[Ezee E]

I didn't finish Apocalypse. I did finish X3.

Has Mr Sinister appeared yet?

[Milky Joe]

X3 remains one of the worst big budget movies I've ever seen. As far as deviant sex criminals go, Singer is indubitably a better director than Brett Ratner

[Skitch]

Apocalypse is quite a bit better than X3 imo, but took several watches of both to get there.

Mr. Sinister would be top two villains I'm annoyed we havent seen yet.

[Morris Schæffer]

I just wish there weren’t so many girl characters.

This sounds similar to an argument I made years ago in which I claimed men nearly always make better villains than women. Needless to say, it didn't go down well in that thread.

[Peng]

I didn't expect the reply to meg's sarcastic post to be an earnest agreement... https://awardswatch.com/forums/images/smilies/smileys/lol.gif

[Dukefrukem]

Apocalypse is fucking terrible cmon. Apocalypse is more fucking powerful than Thanos and he's dispatched like Toad in the first X-men. (OK maybe not with the Infinity Stones, but at least give the character it's due)

The one thing you can say about X3, for comedic watches... "I'm the Juggernaut bitch!"

And I would like to point out this startling revelation that at least D&MU enjoyed.

I dunno what y'all are rating by, but I rank X-Men movies by how much Nazi content they have.

I was being 120% sarcastic.

Fair point though. Who's the best female Marvel villain? Both Mystique and Emma Frost have turned good eventually. Ditto Black Cat for Spider-Man.

Lady Deathstrike perhaps?

Reviews are starting to come in for Cap Marvel. Great cast. Uninspired origin story appears to be the consensus.

[megladon8]

The few I’ve read have said they took the origin story formula and made it feel fresh again.

[Ezee E]

Skipping it. Sounds like the cat is the highlight.

[Irish]

Great cast. Uninspired origin story

So, in other words ... it's a Marvel movie?

Well, it's not Marvel, but it is based on a comic, and the adaptation of that comic may be outstaying its welcome at this point what with season 10 having been announced, but Samantha Morton is just killing it in the 2nd part of season 9. She arrives fully formed, as soon as I saw her my attention picked up. And she's cold as fuck.

[Morris Schæffer]

Fury and Coulson = my butt in the seat

Yes, pretty much. :)

Currently 63% top critics / 84% general (lol rotten tomatoes)

Dunno how much those numbers will shift but I don't expect them to shift much.

This makes "Captain Marvel" the lowest rated Marvel movie since "Ant Man" and "Ultron" in 2015.

ETA: Metacritic is currently at 66/100

ETA 2: Looking forward to trans' reaction after he sees this with his wife on opening day :D

Ultron is my 3rd favorite MCU movie so these ratings mean jack shit to me. Im' very looking forward to the 90s nostalgia aspect.

I never understood the Ultron hate. I recently watched back to back to back Avengers, Ultron, and Infinity War, and it's so clear how real Whedon effect is when it comes to writing dialog in scenes. The interaction between the characters is the best part of the MCU. The drop off after Ultron is huge.

I get how the finale act might be a bit of a bore. But I love what he did with Hawkeye with the farm stuff, the party scene and all the scenes that ultimately allude to Civil War and Infinity War. There's a lot going on in Ultron.

Those were the things I've most seen people complain about. Those were far and away the best parts of Ultron imo. I had issues with tons of other stuff that...whatever, I'm not here to fight with you about Ultron, we've been through that, I just came to led my sword to anyone flipping the bird to the tomatometer.

Who's fighting? We're discussing. I'm generally curious on why you dislike the movie.

[Skitch]

And actually, the lesser score actually makes me more interested in Cpt Marvel. Means we may be getting something different. Not trying to slag MCU with that comment so much as say I disagree with a lot of comic book movie hate across the board.

[Skitch]

I should have said disagree, not fight. Ultron is no hill I would die on, either side.

[Grouchy]

I'm with Duke here regarding Age of Ultron. I think Whedon was shaping to do something really interesting with the MCU but got burned out. Winter Soldier notwithstanding, I don't see the same standards of writing in the Russo Brothers movies.

What will the backpedaling be now that the critics weighed in and it's still not well-liked?

Finally saw Gurdians 2 and Spider-Man Homecoming.

Liked Guardians 2 a lot. Maybe even better than the first. Very fun and funny, and some great character moments. Rocket and Nebula remain my favorites of the series.

Homecoming was good. Very spotty effects work, especially on Spidey himself which was offputting. But Michael Keaton may have played the MCU’s best villain to date.

[Ivan Drago]

Beyond pumped for Shang-Chi. I loved every issue of Master of Kung-Fu I've gotten to read.

Crossing my fingers we see Man-Thing at some point.

I like that style of trailer, giving a bit of a Hall of Fame review of the past. Looks like it'll be intense. Still keeping actiony stuff way under wraps, yeah.

[Wryan]

Relative to her more pared-down look in CM, Brie in the credit scene and here almost looks done up like a geisha.

[Grouchy]

This is an expensive Hollywood blockbuster about kung-fu. This has not been seen since the days of Enter the Dragon. That should be the news.

Instead every article I can find is judging whether there are enough Asians in the crew and Marvel promising to avoid stereotypes.

[Dukefrukem]

That trailer fucks. They don't even show Thanos. Love it.

I have a feeling Thanos will not be the main villain.

Well considering that the comic started in the 70s as a blatant riff on "Kung Fu," was created by two white guys, and has a history of racist imagery ... I get why people might be concerned.

That's even before we get to the recent stupidity around the "Ghost in the Shell" American remake.

I was thinking about something related to this --- about the way I reacted to "Captain Marvel" and Brie Larsen --- so I gotta ask: Why do you care? Whatever anyone says about this movie probably won't effect your enjoyment of it. So, why care?

Honestly that's a more creative idea than anything Marvel has done in the last 10 years so I'm guessing ... prolly not. But goddamn so many possibilities there.


That trailer fucks.

Language!

Would you talk like that in front of Captain America?

[Grouchy]

Wait, why? And do the movies Jackie Chan made in the west not count? Or the Matrix films?
I thought about Jackie Chan as I wrote that but the truth is that most of his Hollywood output is either more or less a B-movie (hence why I said "blockbuster") or a Rush Hour film which is more buddy cop movie than kung fu comedy. Matrix has plenty of kung fu but it's foremost science fiction for me.

It's just that instead of talking about the awesome kung fu craze of the 1970s that reached all sorts of media, we're back to the same old boring lecture against artistic freedom where you can only write and make stories about stuff that happens in your home city block lest you are labeled unsensitive and offending people. You tell me there's a Shang Chi movie in the works and my first thought would naturally go to the story, whether Fu Manchu will appear or how will they manage the fact that that part of the Marvel Universe has been covered by the Netflix shows. I would never in a million years go "huh, I hope the director is really Chinese".

But it has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the film. I'm just expressing surprise at the current zeitgeist.

Fair enough. I'm going by a more traditional definition of "blockbuster," I guess --- "Rush Hour 2" made over $200 million domestic and "The Karate Kid" made close to that (and $350 mil worldwide).

Talking about the backstory and the 70s craze would admittedly be more fun, but seriously how can you be surprised by the zeitgeist? After "Ghostbusters," "Wonder Woman," "Ghost in the Shell," "Black Panther," and "Captain Marvel"? People care about this shit. It's a talking point that generates clicks and it sells movie tickets.

Creative freedom can blow me. There aren't any Chinese-American directors working at this level so it's a big deal.

PS: I think Marvel will stay faaaaar away from Fu Manchu. Else they'll turn him into a punch line, like they did with The Mandarin in "Iron Man 3."

[Dukefrukem]

I'd be really disappointed if that was the case. I get there are plenty of Marvel baddies to mix in here, but I would hope there wouldn't be a curtain to pull back for us to reveal, Galactus was behind this from the beginning and now we have to defeat him in the next Phase 4. I mean, they basically already did this with the first Avengers.

I'll spoiler my Avengers 4 takeaways/predictions from that trailer in case someone doesn't want to see it.


-Theyre pushing hard to look like Tony is gonna die, which reinforces my feeling it will be Cap who dies.
-Hawkeye's family was dusted in the snap.
-Who is the female doing VO around the 30 second mark? Possibly Duke's hidden baddy?
-It may look sexy, but those itty bitty little pistols Black Widow loves so much are completely useless outside of 20-30 feet. C'mon. Arm up, woman!
-SPOILER...1:56 Tony is marching with the group...so he gets back from space (we all knew he wasn't going to be left to starve). This sets up the Bay Armageddon ending..."whatever it takes" as Tony heads for the suicide mission, and Cap knocks him back at last second and goes himself. I have no evidence to support, just my gut, and that the trailers keep pointing towards Tony, so my instinct is to look for the misdirection. Not discounting possibility they both die...as they've now set Tony up as so disturbed by past events that the death of Cap in his place would logically put in a mental ward for the rest of his life.
-Black Widow blonde at meeting of Cap Marvel...so that probably towards beginning of film. They should've never changed her from red, imo. Weakest of nit picks, but yeah.

[Ezee E]

Thanos dealt with in the first thirty minutes, but unable to bring back the heroes from the snap would be the biggest surprise.

a tweet on twitter just stated that the final scenes of the trailer are Avengers in "Quantum suits". Any basis for that? If so, there may be more validity to your multidimension theory. Still sticking by my feeling thats a very bad way for series to go either way.

[Wryan]

Is the second voice-over Peggy from the hospital scene? Because if so I do not remember it. Unless it's a new flashback in this movie.

[Wryan]

Just please don't have a scene where Professor Hulk advances on Thanos, who says something like "Ah, the mindless beast" (because he's not, you guys!!) and then Hulk demolishes him because he's finally joined super-strength with super-smarts. That would be the most obvious, on-the-nose shit. But I am dying to see The Rematch.

There's NO ONE you can replace Gunn with and expect the same level of chemistry between the characters. Non one on this planet exists. I'd like to also point out, that Gunn wrote all the dialog for the GotG in Infinity War and End Game.

Agreed, some of the dialogue in IW didn't work for me either.

[Henry Gale]

Well there's always a difference between how dialogue is on the page versus how it's then directed, played with between takes, and then eventually edited.

Creative freedom can blow me. There aren't any Chinese-American directors working at this level so it's a big deal.
I think that's clear enough that there's no reason to discuss any further. But let me ask another question that's been bugging me - why would a Chinese American director like, I dunno, James Wan (who just opened huge with another superhero movie unrelated to his race) be any better suited for this project than a plain American one?

Oh and that's great news about Gunn!

[Irish]

why would a Chinese American director like, I dunno, James Wan

Wan is Australian.

I thought about daring the board to cite just 3 Asian-American directors, without looking it up, because I couldn't for the life of me think of a single one. The prominent figures that popped into my head -- James Wan, Ang Lee, Wayne Wang, Chloe Zhao -- aren't Americans.

That's kinda fucked up.

So this is partially about giving people a shot who've never had one before. I think that alone is pretty f'ing cool.

It's also about putting somebody in charge who might have a little bit more of a clue.

The traditional, never-ending parade of white dude directors are happy in their ignorance and they tend to do things like ... cast Madonna as Eva Perón.

[megladon8]

I look forward to a time when the director pool is varied enough that people don’t just think of Asian-American directors for Asian “themed” films, female directors for “woman” movies, etc.

Hahah that movie is filled with weird ass casting choices. But that's not because Alan Parker is white - it's a mediocre musical with little interest in portraying History. I have no idea why a hypothetical Chinese-American guy would have "a little bit more of a clue" about a kung fu movie than Tarantino or the Wachowskis.


Good luck. The SJWs are pigeonholing them into those movies even moreso in my opinion.
Exactly. The idea that because someone's grandparents were Chinese he has more kung fu credit than a nerd of any other race is ridiculous.

I would have bet money on Wayne Wang being born in the US, by the way.

[Irish]

Hahah that movie is filled with weird ass casting choices. But that's not because Alan Parker is white - it's a mediocre musical with little interest in portraying History.

It's not a complaint about history. The movie takes place in Argentina and there are like 3 Latinos in the entire cast. They hired a Welsh actor to play Juan Perón, ffs!

(And yeah, I thought Wayne Wang was American too. Even if he were, that's like, what? One fucking guy in the last 35 years?)

[Grouchy]

It's not a complaint about history. The movie takes place in Argentina and there are like 3 Latinos in the entire cast. They hired a Welsh actor to play Juan Perón, ffs!
Should I be upset by that? Why? They're actors. Evita is a bad movie in my opinion but not because of the lack of "Latino" actors. Also, when a US person says "Latino" I assume they're thinking of Mexicans. A large percentage of Argentina's population (and certainly the real life Eva and Juan Domingo Perón) is whiter than what I assume you have in mind.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of clueless misrepresentations of Argentina in Hollywood. There was a particularly offensive Antonio Banderas vehicle called Imagining Argentina, just to name the most egregious example. But the ignorance in that film came from the ill-conceived story, not the fact that Banderas is Spanish.

[Irish]

Should I be upset by that?

I wouldn't expect you to be --- but I did find it interesting that your virtually rolled your eyes when I mentioned the film.

I offered Price as an example because he's another "Evita" cast member who doesn't speak the language and isn't even from the same continent. It wasn't about skin tone.

The other side of the issue is that there's a very, very long history of Hollywood whitewashing roles and putting on brown/blackface as a form of "progressive" representation. (eg: Heston in "Touch of Evil," Newman in "Hombre").


Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of clueless misrepresentations of Argentina in Hollywood.

Now imagine your own country's film industry is so clueless. Would you still be as lackadaisical about it?

[Watashi]

I doubt they hired Destin Daniel Cretton because they think his Asian background will be good for a martial arts movie. Destin will probably never even touch the action sequences in this film as everything is already pre-vized by 2nd unit and choreographers. He's there to handle the character beats and the flow from one set piece to the other.

He got this because he's an accomplished director who will play nice in Fiege's playground.

[Watashi]

When was the last time Marvel hired a big "genre director" who has action experience on their resume? Shane Black is probably the biggest?

[Wryan]

Justin Lin?

EDIT: This was for Irish, not any of the open questions since.

Hot take unrelated to race-bending...

In most of its shots, Stormbringer looks like a molded-plastic Fisher-Price toy.

Justin Lin?

Yes! Good pick!!!

This isn't a new photo, but it's the first time I've seen it. And i kinda wish there were more people in it- Big names that appear to be missing; Cate Blanchett,, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Richard Gere, James Spader, Glenn Close, Guy Pierce, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, Hugo Weaving, Josh Brolin, Tilda Swinton, Tom fucking Hiddleston?

I had to look up "lackadaisical" but besides that, I didn't understand the question at all. You mean how would I feel if Argentinian cinema tackled the History of other countries and did so without proper research like Hollywood usually does?

Now that the band's back together, Oscar Isaac for Doctor Doom?

Doctor Doom is the third-rail of superhero movies. Cool as hell in the comics and unbelievably dorky in live action.

You throw him in your movie and it'll be ... uh .... doomed.

[Dukefrukem]

BTW, Russos confirmed the End Game Trailer has tons of fake footage in it. So, maybe Stark didn't make it back to Earth?

[Irish]

Why so bloodthirsty?

I remember before "Dark Knight Rises" came out and half the board* actively speculated that Batman would die.

No way will they kill off the character played by the most popular actor in the franchise.

* by this I mean it was mostly just meg :D

[Skitch]

I don't need another Avengers trailer (though I'm sure we'll get one). What I need is my damn Episode IX teaser...

[Wryan]

I can't imagine they will drop another trailer any time soon since we just got the second. Maybe a full final trailer like 2 weeks out. Dunno 'bout tickets.

[Ezee E]

Iron Man dying in space and never returning to Earth would be the biggest surprise in modern cinema.

I wasn't really implying that he dies. Just that he doesn't come back to earth only to go back into space.

[Milky Joe]

I don't think there's any way Iron Man doesn't at least make it back to Earth. Otherwise what was the point of Strange saving him? Tony obviously will play a huge part in the 'endgame,' whether it be through sacrifice or otherwise. Personally I'd like to see him land the killing blow on Thanos, but I don't often get what I want.

[Ezee E]

So how long until we get Silver Surfer again?

Keanu Reeves to voice the Surfer.

Tried through AMC's site since I'm on their subscription service and got as far as choosing seats and it beach-balls. Gonna go through Fandango now. Or just wait until it settles down. Shooting for Sunday or Monday night, so those probably will still have good seats.

I somehow got tickets for 10PM on Fri night.

i'm still waiting in line for Thurs night... but the timer has gone from "More than an hour" all the way down to 42 minutes, back up to "over an hour", and now the line is paused. I dont understand why this is different than any other Marvel film but whatever. I'm annoyed.

[Skitch]

Final trailer still reveals almost nothing (other than reinforcing Tony making it back). GOOD. TAKE NOTE ALL STUDIOS

This and The Last Jedi had this vibe to me that they could get away with just putting out a poster and a trailer that just revealed the title and release date, but the way Endgame has handled it is probably the bare minimum.

It's funny, I don't think most people realize there's a Star Wars movie coming out this year.

I've done my level best to not watch any of the Saga trailers, so I'm good. I don't even want to know the title or see the poster, but I know that's unrealistic.

[Lazlo]

It's 100% AMC's fault. Two minute wait time when trying a Regal theater.

[Ivan Drago]

Got IMAX 3D tickets for Sunday morning dead center. I'm stoked.

[Lazlo]

AMC finally got their shit together. 8am Sunday morning (yikes, tough to schedule a 3 hour movie I guess), IMAX 2D

[Wryan]

Sweet trailer. Looks like the prospect of Tony looking "old" because of a time-travel scenario is more likely to be Tony looking physically ravaged because he almost dies in space. Maybe.

[megladon8]

Also, RDJ is getting older.

[Skitch]

Hmm...maybe Tony in space leaving helmet last goodbyes is after time travel and Thanos defeated at end of film. That would be different. Still think he would make it back.

[megladon8]

Also, RDJ is literally getting older.

He’s looking more like Al Pacino every day.

[Ezee E]

Put him through a black hole where he ends up back on earth to reassemble.

[Milky Joe]

well I got my ticket (thursday night). pretty sure it's the first time I've ever bought tickets to a movie this far out

[Dukefrukem]

Kevin Feige was recently interviewed about Captain Marvel, and had mentioned we would see a lot of films set in the past, following the adventures of characters like Fury before the years of the Avengers. This coincides with reports that the black widow movie will begin shooting in June. And the Eternals movie beginning to be cast. It would be cool to see Hawkeye show up in the black widow movie since they both went on missions together.

[Skitch]

I'm all for it. I hate the idea that all timelines of cinematic universes must be "now moving forward".

[[ETM]]

I'm seeing Endgame on the 24th. A friend is a cosplayer who does costumed appearances for Marvel premieres and he has a relationship with the distributor, so he like got tickets for the earliest show possible. Otherwise, I'd either be seeing it in Tokyo or after May 9th, since I'm leaving for Japan the next morning.

[megladon8]

Angelina Jolie’s rumoured involvement with The Eternals makes me significantly less interested.

She’s a terrible director.

[Lazlo]

So far I think the news hasn't mentioned that she would direct, has it? A quick scan seems to just point to her acting in it.

2 weeks!

3 weeks for me. But I'm seeing it on Imax 3D biggest screen in Europe!! Still can't believe this is nearly as long as Titanic.

[Ezee E]

Prediction (in minutes) for when Thanos dies?

[Skitch]

I predict he will not.

[Peng]

So apparently there are very spoilerifc Endgame footages just leaked. Heads-up in case anyone wants to avoid it. Non-spoiler detail:


It's not the whole film. Just about 5 minutes from some kind of sketchy private screening. The video has Arabia subtitles and appears to be filmed in an empty theater with a phone. However, there's footage from the ENTIRE film including 3rd act so tread carefully for the next week.

[Dukefrukem]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Dukefrukem]

Barely any new footage in this 10 year final trailer. Great Disney marketing here.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jNvJU52LvU

Best Trailer yet but still doesn't look very good. Lots of spoilery stuff

New Mutants delayed indefinitely. Disney+ here we come?

The year model is brilliant.

[megladon8]

I’m wondering if/ when Hulk is going to become fully self aware and start speaking fluently.

I also wonder if they’ll ever take the route the comics have taken multiple times, where Banner and Hulk fully separate from each other and are enemies.

I could see the former happening, but since there are no plans to make any standalone Hulk movies, I doubt we will ever see the latter.

[Dukefrukem]

There are a ton of theories on the latter.

[megladon8]

Seeing Brie Larson wear the infinity stones to the premiere was awesome.

[Milky Joe]

Hot take: Brie Larson is an attractive woman.

For me she was at her most va-va-voom in Scott Pilgrim, mostly because she killed that song.

Holy crap that was her? Damn yes.

[Dukefrukem]

So I'm listening to this youtube series called "WTF Happened to <insert movie>" where they talk about production problems and the origin of bad decisions in Hollywood. Waterworld, Justice League are two good ones.

Listening to the 2015 Fantastic Four one, I had no idea Fox was developing a cross-over movie. And they were so deep in production they actually had a cast photo of it. What's crazy about this photo is they were going to put Deapool in the movie AND channing tatum (as Gambit).

[Dukefrukem]

Even if Fantastic Four hadn't been shit, what would they have named that? The OTHER Marvel Universe?

Well oddly enough, outside of the 4 core members, the Fantastic Four have recruited other members to the group (just like the Avengers). I know Storm and Wolverine were members at some point.

There's even an alternate future version called the Fantastic Five.

[Grouchy]

Well oddly enough, outside of the 4 core members, the Fantastic Four have recruited other members to the group (just like the Avengers). I know Storm and Wolverine were members at some point.
Yeah, and She-Hulk as well. I meant how they would've named their continuity without using the word "Marvel".

[Ezee E]

X-Men and the Fantastic Four would've been sufficient.

I would love She Hulk to join the MCU.

Now there's a lady hero movie that should be better than Captain Marvel.

[Dukefrukem]

Oh fuck. They ARe going the multiple Earth direction. Oh shit my ass.

[Dukefrukem]

This totally changes my Phase 4 predictions....

[Milky Joe]

guys it's Mysterio. the multiverse thing might be a bullshit con.

[megladon8]

If they go the multiverse direction I could really see it being the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and it all becomes too convoluted for viewers.

[Skitch]

If they go the multiverse direction I could really see it being the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and it all becomes too convoluted for viewers.

I could see phase 4-6 playing with the multiverse and wrapping it up with collapsing it back into one 'verse and hey! Then everyone can come back! :p

[Ezee E]

What's the multiverse?

[Dukefrukem]

What's the multiverse?

You see Spider-man Into the the Multiverse yet? Or any Rick & Morty episode? Same concept and multiple ways to move to different dimensions. Basically anytime Marvel releases a new com book line, that story takes place on an alternate earth. Old Man Logan takes place on different Earth. Punisher2099 takes place on a different Earth. It's a super easy to to introduce any character and it squashes the question "where has this character been the whole time?". Well, he's been in a different dimension basically.

[Skitch]

What's the multiverse?

I'm not entirely sure how it works on the Marvel side, but on the DC side theres load of "other" Earths, interdimensionsially. So on our Earth Batman is Batman, but Earth 37 Batman uses samurai swords and kills people. Earth 452 Batman is the villain and Joker is the hero. Stuff like that. Sometimes its less drastic, like maybe Batman is Dick Grayson and Bruce's parents never died and he's mayor or something. I'm just making up all these examples btw, I've never gotten too deep into the multiverse stuff.

[Grouchy]

Yeah, it's a parallel reality where events have happened differently and it's been a staple of comic books ever since DC introduced a new Flash and Green Lantern in the 1960s and then the writer Gardner Fox decided the old ones lived in another dimension.

In Marvel, the main continuity is Earth #616, so there are countless worlds to draw new comics from.

[Ezee E]

Ah, well, that'll be a big bummer. I hope it's just a Mysterio-thang.

But certainly a way to be able to eventually introduce the new "X-Men" and what'll likely rehash the Days of Future Past storyline.

[Skitch]

It could also mean that Mysterio in Far From Home is a legit hero. I also would lean that this is all a Mysterio thang (because thats the simplest answer), but I'm intrigued either way.

[Milky Joe]

Agents of Shield has also toyed with an idea of the multiverse. and from the looks of it, season 6 might deal with a parallel Earth (though I could be wrong on that).

[Dukefrukem]

This random guy on twitter with 13 total tweets, just released a bunch of new info for Doctor Strange 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3. And before I was about to write him off as some troll, I saw he had 10 posts in December 08 about Avengers 4. And 100% of them turned out true. These are things likely to show up in trailers and premise and not necessarily "spoilers" but obviously if you want to be completely surprised don't read them.

So, the new info for Doctor Strange is:


Doctor Strange 2: 1980's Boogaloo
Tilda Swinton is in talks to return as the Ancient One
Jericho Drumm and Clea will make their MCU debuts
Clea will likely be portrayed by an Asian actress
Most importantly the gloves will be back!


Info on GotG3 is:


Rocket's creator is the High Evolutionary
Drax is in for a big surprise when he discovers his daughter is alive
Rocket also gets a love interest in the form of Lylla
Nebula and Star Lord will grow into closer friends.


My favorite bit of news (also dates back to December) is: Marvel still has big plans for Zemo, Ghost, Justin Hammer, General Ross, and the Abomimation. The Leader is being discussed to return as the main villain

[bac0n]

I'm leaning heavily on this being one big Mysterio magic trick and this being a prelude to Spidey having to deal with The Sinister Six, but then again... Skrulls

I don’t think you would even get accepted into a school of graphic design if that was your submission.

Isn't it Black Widow & Hawkeye?

No. You're thinking of the Disney+ series maybe? A Hawkeye show was in development. (with rumored Kate Bishop)
