Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Well they were very positive on Most Wanted too and then they surprisingly didn't move forward with it. Seems to be a lot of contradiction in the shows, one minute they are all for them and the next they aren't.

 

With Cloak and Dagger, it was rewrites from what I saw. http://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/785417-marvels-cloak-and-dagger-showrunner-revealed-series-delayed

 

He's one of the most interesting and dynamic Marvel characters, and one of the oldest. Though I've often found his solos a little lacking, he has great potential.

 

WebLurker to each their own. He can work beyond that setting and beyond the FF, besides, you could always transplant those Namor storylines to other Marvel characters / teams. Plus, the fact that he is the first mutant.

I happen to side with soitscometothis insofar as Namor. I do hope if they run with him they do not include the recent Wakanda war though, I liked both sides enough not to want to see that war happen. I'd still like to see other elements of Hickman's Marvel work made into movies though.

 

I think they are just going to cancel AoS.

 

Fari enough. Although what use his his being a mutant if mutants don't exist in the MUC? (Also, wasn't Apocalypse the first mutant?)

 

I'm not really excited by this news because the lack of details. First of all, I need to know the Inhuman characters that will be in this TV series. Will it be the Daisy/Quake lead Inhumans or the classic Royal family Inhumans from the comics? Or will it be both? Will it feature Kamala Khan? If it's going to be Daisy and the Inhumans featured on Agents of SHIELD, then it does not preclude the an Inhuman movie with the MCU proper. So for now, I'm holding back any enthusiasm for the Inhumans TV show until there's an official confirmation of the cast of characters that will be used for the show.

8 episodes sounds good to me as it's close to the Netflix model, and (to me) it's good for story telling in that there won't be any filler episodes and they'll probably put more money into each episode. We know they will for the first two as it's an IMAX presentation.

This is the speculation:

This is a long delay for a TV show. From what I understand, rewrites happen on the fly during the course of a season, so it's kind of odd to have a delay this long. To me, this delay means they are totally rewriting the series (which could have been the teen/young adult version of the characters to a more adult version) as there was a rebranding of the network from "ABC Family" to "Freeform." It also could move to either Netflix or other Disney channels.


As for the Submariner... if there's any movie studio that can take an obscure and 5th tier character and turn it into a box office success it's Marvel. So if DC/WB's Aquaman flick is a box office hit, Marvel would sure to follow with Namor. Let's not forget, Namor was part of Marvel's Invaders and a good friend of Captain America. Perhaps Namor helped Cap bust out his friends from the Raft at the end of Captain America: Civil War.

 

I'm certain that the connection will be made, regardless of AOS continuing or whoever the showrunners will be.

Between shows like "Pretty Little Liars" and "Dead Of Summer", the latter of which was like a PG-13 slasher film, I'd say that C&D should be just fine on Freeform.

 

I forget where I read it but it seems the ABC version of the first two episodes will contain more content than the 2 IMAX eps that'll be released. So personally I may just skip the IMAX version and just watch it on the TeeVee to start.

Also speaking of Freeform (and where the Cloak & Dagger info came from) was this article in the Hollywood reporter. Great piece of art here re. network struggling to find an ID / audience

 

My computer won't let me type Namor he was the first mutant character created, not the first mutant that existed. The MUC? < MCU? They may or may not use the mutant angle, but there's plenty they could do with Namor.

 

Angela Bassett has been officially cast as Black Panther's mother Ramonda.
I cannot believe we're getting this cast

 

That's amazing...

 

Given the A list and excellent caliber actors in many Marvel productions, it's easy for me, but I know what you mean.
Glad to see Ms. Bassett stepping back up to the plate. She's awesome.

 

personally i found the rebranding of ABC Family to Freeform as insulting. They basically want to keep the stuff that families watch like Harry Potter and 25 days of Christmas , while doing racier stuff too. It's also opened up their film showings to stuff like Fast and Furious: i don't know where we'd see movies like that without Freeform.

 

Which means there will be (an estimated) 60 hours of Marvel magic.

 

And that's not even counting we'll most likely get Martin Freeman and Serkis in Black Panther

 

Might also get Sebastian Stan for Black Panther.

It would be all kinds of awesome if Misty Knight need a bionic arm and went to Wakanda to borrow Bucky's.

 

So she got her groove back then?

 

I wish Wakanda bordered Zamunda so we could have Eddie Murphy and JEJ in this.

 

hoping for cameo

 

This is the second time today I wish I didn't scroll down. Bucky's arm is all kinds of trouble (at least it was while Ed Brubaker was writing the character); Misty doesn't need that.

I'd be very happy if Sebastian showed up in BP, but seriously, the guy needs more freakin' screen time.
