The Marvel Cinematic Universe

[Hunchback Jack]

This is no surprise to me. I'm glad they figured it out so soon. Hopefully it was soon enough they won't have to delay anything they were originally planning on doing.

The worst part is I feel this is a "wrap up" deal Dan. I do not think we will get another 5+ films in the MCU with him and for me he is the highlight for sure. SO happy as I am... I wanna see the terms of the deal. lol

It may be that allowing him to be present in the Sony-only villains movies was the door-opener to ongoing MCU involvement as well. That would be a smart move on Sony’s part.

Agreed

“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” Feige said in a statement Friday. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”

We hear that as Sony progresses their own Marvel universe with titles likes Venom 2 and Sinister Six, and Disney/Marvel their own, there could be a “call and answer” between the two franchises as they acknowledge details between the two in what is would loosely be described as a shared detailed universe. Details on that are still early.

Wow.
Do you take this to mean they will loosely share universes? BUT Sidperman will be in both?

I wanna say yes but I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised. What's the point of having Venom, Sinister Six, Morbius, and others, if they don't eventually face Spider-Man?

[Rjeso]

Just give me a Superior Foes movie and I'll be happy.

Though tbh, I'd prefer if the same people who did Into The Spider-Verse were the ones to handle it, not the Marvel folks...

[Hunchback Jack]

I would take “loosely shared” to mean the same Spidey shows up in both, but will be strangely silent about the events and characters of the other universe.

I tend to agree with this... I do but I can see 'loose' mentions of big events. Much like in Aquaman where they did that.

[fernandito]

Spidey will most assuredly be in both franchises. MCU for the Avengers-level threats, and Sony for more 'intimate' villain stories.

This seems about right, Ferny. Looking forward to more Spidey in the near future.

So I finally got to watch Far From Home last week. Last night a thought occurred to me regarding the end-credits scene.

Spoilers for anyone that hasn't seen it:

Spoiler:

So Mysterio publicly outed Peter Parker as Spider-Man. That got me to thinking about the original Iron Man movie where Tony basically had a press conference and announced that he was Iron Man. Then I started thinking about all the other Avengers. Do any of them really have a secret identity anymore? Is there a single Avenger anymore who the world doesn't know who they are in real life?

Captain America (he did PSAs for high schools and I'm pretty sure he's been seen without his mask on before), Hulk (he sits in coffee shops, signs autographs and takes selfies with fans), Dr. Strange (doesn't wear a mask, literally uses his real name), Thor (same), Black Widow (no mask), Scarlet Witch (no mask), Captain Marvel (no mask) Black Panther (wears a mask but has been seen publicly without it), Hawkeye (no mask), the list goes on and on...

I know the lore of Spiderman has always been that only a few people know his real identity but is it really that big of a deal at this point in the MCU? The only one that I can think of that may still have his identity as secret is Ant-Man. I'd have to watch the movies again to see for sure.

Although I do realize that we are talking about comic book stories where a guy can literally use a pair of glasses as a disguise **coughSupermancough**

Surprised I haven't seen mention of this here yet (maybe in another thread?):

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-inf...?skuId=6384410

I really wished they would have announced this a few months ago. I literally just finished upgrading all my MCU movies to 4K (just got shipping notice for Dr. Strange from amazon about 10minutes ago).

Needless to say, won't drop another $550 for a nice box and one more extra disc of extras.

Wonder if there will be a black friday special for this? Looks like this is exclusive to Best buy? Wonder if there will be a non-collectors edition released.

The set itself is cool, but too expensive for something that's all going to be on Disney+ anyway.

[Tommy]

Someone should send Martin Scorsese that for Christmas this year.

[mae]

I don't think the Spider-Man movies will be on Disney+.

[Mattrick]

I'll just pick up the few MCU movies I liked enough to own for cheap on DVD. If I find The Winter Soldier, Infinity War, and Guardians 2 I'll be happy enough.

I’m slowly making my way in order through the MCU movies in order, watching the ones I’ve missed and rewatching the ones I have.

Yesterday was Thor: The Dark World, and it was okay. It looked gorgeous, and while Natalie Portman was a bit of a flatline acting-wise, her relationship with Thor worked well enough. Hiddleston was great as Loki, as usual. The film was both fun and exciting, but some moments of humor created problems with tone. The biggest problems with the movie were the plot - we didn’t understand what the villain wanted until far too late, we didn’t understand what the threat of the Aether was, and the whole thing with the gravity sensors at the end wasn’t set up at all. So much of the film had little suspense, because we didn’t know the stakes, and the action scenes at the end, while fun, seemed to be a bit random and nonsensical.

2.5/5. Maybe 3.

One of the worst ones IMO. However, Thor:Ragnarok is one of my favorites. I've seen that one many times.

$550 seems awfully steep. That's over $20 per movie. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy them separately?

It is actually cheaper. The 4k Blu Ray's run about $29 a disc. So assuming you don't own the 4k discs, and you are gonna buy them all anyways, then it looks like you'd be saving about $6 a disc.

Oh, cool. Then I’m tempted. Might wait for Thanksgiving on the off chance there’s a sale.

[DanHocker]

I also wouldn't be surprised if they release a regular Blu Ray (non collectors edition) box set at some point as well. Probably still be really expensive though.

[webstar1000]

Did the re-watch of Winter Soldier. Sorry it’s good... but still not in my top 3. Top 5? Maybe 5..... maybe.
