They might not have wanted to go all in on Iron Spider because a big point in Homecoming was that Peter didn't need all those gadgets. There's no harm in him using tech, obviously, but it makes sense that they wouldn't want to go too crazy.

I gotta be honest. I have a really hard time getting truly excited about the Black Panther movie. I guess it's because it doesn't seem to take many cues from Coates' comic book run? There's no white tiger police force, no midnight angels, and it doesn't seem to have that heavy political focus as that comic book run but I can't tell until the movie is out.
Man, Coates' run was really disappointing for me. Coming off Civil War, I wanted more BP, so I obviously read Coastes' run when it first came out, gave up after 3 chapters. You loved BP in Civil War? Well, here's a BP that's nothing like that.
I loved Black Panther in Civil War (the movie) but I also loved the Black Panther in Coates' run. For his solo movie I just hope we will get to see lots of Wakanda and get into some political aspects but I have this feeling it's just gonna be Erik Kilmonger deciding to take down T'Challa with brute force and thus we have a full blown action movie.

LOL As if cosmicbooknews.com were a real business. It's a blog run by fanboys pretending to be journalists.
Frankly I wonder how long they're going to keep tryin with the Netflix Marvel shows at all. After Defenders flopped, and now that Disney is doing their own streaming service, what does Marvel TV's ambition even look like now? The talk around Punisher already seemed extremely muted.
Someone in the Fox buyout thread suggested that the Netflix shows have at least timed exclusivity (2-10 years) until they can be brought over to DisneyFlix. So when/if they finally make the jump, they're probably not going to continue them. And I've theorized before that the moratorium on shows on non-Disney services coupled with the increased production of Netflix shows probably means that they are riding this out as much as they can. If their usual production time holds (5-6 months of filming, 4-6 months post), we could theoretically see 4 full seasons in 2018.
The Netflix shows were too slow for my linking. I watched Daredevil season 1 and Jessica Jones and that was enough for me. They were also very dark, not in the theme sense, but the actual lighting sense. Really dark.
I'd personally prefer that they just do what DC does with their TV shows and make them a separate universe. It can allow the Netflix series to be a little more free wheeling with what they can do, and it means any Netflix heroes can show up in the MCU at a later date without all the baggage of their story lines. The Netflix shows don't even bother replacing the MetLife building with Stark Tower, so it's not like it would require a lot of retconning.
Beside, it would free up Mahershala Ali to play Blade!

Why is it necessary to make it a separate universe? What has been held back by them being tenuously connected? And, as we saw with Civil War and Luke Cage, no one cares if the same actor is playing different characters in the shows and movies.
Well, yeah, it could have a negative impact. It's like the Star Wars fans who were convinced Benicio del Toro was playing Ezra Bridger. Imagine him showing up in The Last Jedi and says "Oh, hi guys, I'm also a Jedi. Yeah, I've been over here for a while. Why, did you guys need a Jedi?" I wouldn't fault anyone who asks "who the hell is this guy with his four seasons worth of backstory"? If Charlie Cox's Daredevil shows up in the Homecoming sequel and candidly mentions how he came back from the dead, people will want to know why wasn't he in the Avengers. Why didn't they ask this guy with the bullet proof skin to help root out Hydra? Why didn't they ask the Iron Fist, protector of K'un-Lun, sworn enemy of the Hand, to help out slightly more than not at all?
It just doesn't make sense to me to keep up the pretence that they are unified, when they are partially all but separate. If the Netflix series become separate they won't have to tip-toe around the upcoming invasion of aliens.
Heh, Woodard's CW character was hardly a huge role. Playing both Cottenmouth and Blade would raise some eyebrows.
The same actors playing multiple roles isn't really a problem. Enver Gjokaj played an extra in Avengers and Daniel Sousa in Agent Carter. Tony Curran played Bor in Thor 2 and a mobster in Daredevil. Martin Starr was some nerd in Incredible Hulk and the teacher in Spider-Man Homecoming. Kenneth Choi portrayed Jim Morita in the first Cap and Principal Morita in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Matt Gerald is Melvin Potter in Daredevil and White Power Dave in the Hail the King short. And so on.
The films and the Netflix series will be separate once Luke Cage S2 comes out and Gabrielle Dennis plays the same character as Nabiyah Be in Black Panther, Tilda Johnson aka Nightshade.

My knowledge of Him/Adam/Warlock is limited to what I've read from the 60s and 70s, with that in mind I think he'd break the MCU. He's basically Jesus. Granted, he's already been teased, so hey!
Eh, these two add up for me. Principal Morita is specifically implied to be Jim Morita's grandson, and there's no contradiction in "random student" becoming "random teacher."
But yeah overall the movies have never been held back by TV side casting. They even reused Alfre Woodard, and she was a main cast member for Luke Cage.
The point I was trying to make is that as far as the film or series is concerned, the actor behind the character doesn't exist. It can be jarring to the audience but the narrative isn't damaged by an actor playing multiple characters.
Yeah, wont happen anyway since nobody at Marvel Studios gives a shit about TV stuff anyway.
I love the Netflix stuff, they've all been great to decent imo. 2nd half of Cage and Iron Fist were the weakest which sucked. I don't even want these guys to have major parts in MCU films, that's why this whole thing is so silly. Spidey is swinging across NY and you see a blind guy in red shades walking down the street; I think most fans would geek out.
It's just frustrating that they've have these characters and aren't using them to the fullest. Rand is a billionaire but you never hear Tony mention anything about it. Other than what they did the to Inhumans, not having some Netflix stars cameo is the only other issue I have with Marvel.

I wish all the TV would do a continuity outside of the films, yet still acknowledge each other. I'm fine with that level of separation. Have Fitzsimmons guest on JJ helping with forensic shit, or Luke Cage and Mack bro it out.

Weird that it can't be embedded.
Seems like there's new details out about New Warriors:
And a new international trailer for Black Panther featuring new footage:
The staff seems to be flip flopping as far as embeds go, sometimes we have a huge list of possible sites and most of the time it's just Youtube and Twitter.
Seeing the news about the replacement director for Creed 2 has gotten me thinking, what does everyone think the future now holds for Starhawk going forward? I was looking forward to his gang of Guardians going up against the current line up, so I hope that they just recast the role.

We still don't know if Fox's agreement with Constantin will be transferred over to Disney.
But the X-Men are a sure thing at least.

Best to come out of this that we will finally get mainline X-Men movies that weren't built on the back of a pedophile :)

One thing I don't get it, Ego's rights were related to Fantastic Four, right? How were they able to negotiate with Fox, if Constantin holds the rights to FF?
New Warriors sounds pretty good. I'm kinda curious how long they can hold off on putting it on somewhere.
Also, that BP trailer looks dope.
I haven't followed the Stallone story closely but didn't those allegations end up going... nowhere? If more pops up, they should take him off the movies but since we don't even know what their plans for the OG Guardians are, we can only speculate.
I mean, that goes without saying.

OP
The story was Fox wanted to alter Negasonic Teenage Warhead's powers for the Deadpool movie, but they're not legally allowed to do that, so they traded Ego for permission.
And I think Ego is wrapped up in the X-Men rights.
