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

I keep forgetting that's actually a thing that is actually happening, and happening so soon. Admittedly, a combination of the comics never clicking with me, and the missteps of the previous films has left it difficult for me to get as hyped about it as the other MCU films (especially with Thunderbolts almost right in front of it). So maybe that's why it keeps flying underneath my radar. That said, it did give me chills to see the logo form at the end of that epic "welcome back to the movies" montage Marvel dropped around the time Black Widow came out.

I'll edit that release date in. So, only 3 months of no Marvel content drops! And they finally posted it on YT:

 

Lot of little news bits and rumors (not counting Spider-Man 4)that I'll keep in this thread for now until some are confirmed:

-Fantastic Four: First Steps may have a title change to Fantastic Four: First Contact, a nod by Star Trek fans Shakman and Feige.
-Blade's script has supposedly met Ali's approval and they are now looking for a director. It is expected to be the next movie to shoot (not counting Spider-Man 4) and take the Nov 2026 slot, which would make it the final film in the Multiverse Saga before Secret Wars.
-The Feb 13th 2026 slot may be abandoned as no other projects seem to be far enough along to assume it.
-On the TV side, 2026 is expected to deliver Daredevil Season 2 and VisionQuest.
-The Agatha-spin-off Wiccan and Hawkeye Season 2 are expected to take up the late-2026 and early-2027 TV slots (though unknown which would go where- particularly since the predecessors to both were tied to late-year holiday seasons).
-The Nova and Blonde Phantom shows will be post-Secret Wars series.

 

It was first rumored to be in development about 6 months ago. A 1950's Vegas-set spy series with the titular vigilante. Rumored to be the role Feige may want for Taylor Swift.

 

I mean, Clint looked after Wanda, so that would make for an interesting combination with her son. And since Clint seems to be in the business of young proteges...

 

The MCU needs a next gen of Avengers, though. They can't multiverse-return everybody after the Secret Wars reset. Unlike the comics, the MCU is uniquely positioned to let characters age and for new ones to assume mantles. Kate, Cassie, and Kamala make for a pretty good anchor trio, though. And then you can eventually pepper in Wiccan and T'challa Jr. And if you can get a more adult Peter Parker later, even better. Its ultimate asset is its ability to not reboot everything and everyone, unlike Batman, etc.

 

Woot!
