After Avengers 4 in 2019...do you think MCU will still work?
- Thread starter Kylo Rey
- Start date
Plus 10 years passed, they got a whole new generation of little kids to peddle these films out to.
Marvel "What If's"
Bring it

They got the Aunties and Grandmas to step in, now they going to work to keep them
Let me breakdown what's going to happen.
Thanos is going to destroy almost everything. The only survivors at the end are going to be the Hulk and the surprise cameo of the film, Huge Jackedman as Wolverine.
We get a true Old Man Logan film.

I don't think anyone got tired of Naruto, it's that the story got real bad.
If they can keep the writing on par with where it's been in phase 2, there's no reason why it wouldn't work.
That being said, Captain Marvel makes me NERVOUS.
They need to finally do justice to Storm on screen, have her lead the X-Men in Phase 4.
Plus good luck finding a Wolverine half as good as Hugh Jackman. He'll be harder to replace than RDJ.
Galactus should be the next big villain. Ugh, watch it just be Doom...

I have personally never seen a single Marvel superhero movie in cinema ever and I have never been as hyped for a movie in my life as IW.
I'm really questioning if they'll be able to capture the cultural zeitgeist with another singular IP like they did with Black Panther. Even Ant-Man can enjoy the MCU treatment, sure; but Black Panther was a very special case to be able to get them Grandma/Auntie teams in the theaters.
Beside Black Panther 2, Black Panther 3 and World of Wakanda- Actually a black/brown woman superhero would probably hit the same vein. Marvel's Storm would be large
Actually a solo Storm film could be a huge hit. She's an icon.
Much better than that lame Black Widow movie nobody asked for lol.

I agree, just the timeline of that movie alone is a little iffy, plus with the recasting...
Then again, they were able to take the husk of Edgar Wright's Ant-Man and turn it into a good movie, so maybe I shouldn't be worried.
It will keep going. Given the assumed "Everyone gets three movies, not including crossovers" rule, We're looking at Phase 4 being the final chapters for the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant Man, with Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and Dr. Strange to fill it out. That may seem like a slow-down, but there's definitely gas in the tanks.
Then, during Phase 5, which would see the final movies for Spider-Man, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, and Captain Marvel we'll also see Fantastic Four and X-Men show up, since that's when the Fox deal will be finalized with enough time passing afterwards to plan. That will be a massive shot in the arm for the MCU.
Phase 6 will likely see new successors step up for the mantles of characters whose stories ended in Phase 3. A new Captain America, Iron Man, etc. Once again, this should build the hype cycles up again.
So there's at least another 10-15 years to go on, and at that point, they're basically at escape velocity.

To me, what I'd like to see:
Next arc to build up Doom/F4 along with Dr. Strange and BP (all that combination of Royalty, Magic, and Science). Maybe have a mini arc of Annihilation to do some Cosmic stuff (Nova Prime).
Lead into the next arc: Secret Wars. Characters not really around for Secret Wars? Tony, Cap and Thor (Odinson). Events of this lead into an explainable reason for new actors playing those roles going forward.
Obviously intermix some X-Men stuff. Just wonder if they'll attempt any retreads of Fox's X-Men stuff (DOFP, Dark Phoenix).
Wondering now if Marvel would recast whatever X-Men they'd use, or go with the oncoming young cast in these most recent Fox movies.

I don't care for the continuity and I'm not invested in the hero's, but I do like the nonsensical action and special effects, so I keep watching these when I get the time. They're throwaway movies, watch once, and forget it as soon as I leave the theater, but they work as good experiences at the cinema. Like Fast Furious movies, they'll keep on going for the above reasons for me.
I'm a fan and it's only about 3 movies a year. I've gone to see movies like Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider in theaters, I doubt Marvel is gonna start pumping out terrible films like those.
The comics have been going since 1961 (or 1939 if you count the old Timely Heroes - Cap, Namor, OG Human Torch.) If they stopped publishing new comics tomorrow, it would still be decades before they ran out of stories to crib from.
Still can't believe Fox had both Dr. Doom and Galactus as part of their deal and they screwed that up.
I mean to a comics insider these may all seem exciting and different, but they all seem very similar to me. Especially Apocalypse and Thanos.
Big evil guy wants to take over the world can only happen so many times.
Personally, I won't watch anymore superhero movies after Avengers 4 next year. I'm just getting to the point, where super hero movies aren't getting me as excited as 4-5 years ago. I want to see more fantasy movies, like Harry Potter, or LoTR. Unfortunately, Hollywood goes where the money is, and they will just milk whatever is currently popular.
I guess so, it just seems that all the well known, popular stories have been adapted to some degree and it'll get harder going forward.
Gotta make Spiderman into a leader role. I'm no comic buff but the MCU Peter Parker, Tom Holland, is probably my favorite thing they've done since Chris Evans portraying Captain America.
We haven't seen a single good adaptation of FF or Xmen yet.
We haven't seen the Kree-Skrull war yet. We haven't seen Kang, or the Savage Land, or Galactus, or I could go on and on.
As long as Feige is running the show and maintaining quality, content isn't a problem.
Nah...as long as the material is good it can happen over and over again.
I dunno
More Solo Movies
Introduce Xmen in their own mcu movie?
Avenger vs x-men? (X-Men are the big badbut not really??)
Fantastic 4 MCU (Doom is big bad)
How about civil war 2 ( I know the comic werent that great but you can better it ) all the characters fight each other again
Inhumans big screen reboot after reintroduction in Civil War 2
SoloMovies
Forward plan (start to use more characters not used yet, Shang Chi etc)
Spiderman vs Sinister Six
How about we then in 5-10yrs from now finish the tv stuff and finally have them on the big screen?
Ghost Rider
Blade
Spiderman vs kingpin?
Daredevil vs Elektra and the hand (or in that timeframe from now would be willing to see bullseye on the bigscreen again?)
Spiderman ( introduce punisher)
Punisher movie
Deadpool & The Xforce (or Deadpool corps)
Spiderman vs Venom (disney buy the full rights finally in 2028)
Runaways bigscreen debut
Legion big screen debut
Luke cage/Iron Fist Big Screen reboot
Jessica Jones Movie
And then after 2-3 movies of the above
Marvel 2099 and all trilogies there
And then post apocalypse Marvel vs Zombies (it is now 2038 in our time, everyone will be willing to see zombies again)
Im sure someone can come up with a better plan though

I was all for ending this shared MCU after Avengers 4 but now with X-Men, Spider Man and Fantastic Four onboard it might be cool to see them interact and share some adventures together...although this is nothing more then a comic book brought to life and I'm surprised that mainstream audiences have warmed up to these movies so much
LOL, all I could think of when I read the thread. What does a giant Hollywood blockbuster franchise full of franchises have to do with anime?
You think Avengers 4 is an ending.
For me it's this years biggest Marvel movie. I'm not ready to get off this train.

Honestly I don't see where the whole 'everyone's going to DIE in Infinity War' thing is coming from. You don't just shelve huge money makers like Iron Man and Captain America. They'll probably use the opportunity to give a few characters a rest whilst they shift focus to the newer people like Black Panther, Captain Marvel, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc for a few years, then come back with re-cast actors when it's time to let that lot have a break. The cycle never ends.
This. You haven't seen nothing yet. Now is when it starts to get FUN.
didn't stop them from making Iron Man a top tier character
didn't stop them from making the fucking Guardians of the Galaxy a thing
popularity ain't got nothing to do with it
