Thank god.
How come he wasn't in Civil War? Just busy with other projects?

How come he wasn't in Civil War? Just busy with other projects?

I believe the writers made the decision not to include him because they didn't feel it would be right having him pick a side in a situation like that and it would be yet another character they would need to write some sort of arc around. Why is he there? Who does he agree with? How does he impact the story?
Plus, with S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer being a public organization and with Fury not being involved with it either way, it probably wouldn't make sense for him to come out of hiding for that.
But I'll be curious to see his reaction to all of that in Infinity War.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion: I think this scene will (unintendedly) symbolize the oversaturation of comic book films and its inevitable downfall from the film industry.
I think the next MCU films (BP, IW, The Wasp, Captain Marvel, A4) will do the opposite - refocus to new characters, new demographics and bring in new audiences.
That would be quite fascinating to see if they change their tone in their films and use a different approach the way you described it.
If you are expecting a different approach to the films I think you are going to be disappointed. What jon bones is talking about is a shift to other characters outside of the original big players.
Yeah, don't get me wrong- I think Marvel is quite happy with the tone of their films.
I just don't think we've hit this mythical "oversaturation" point.
With a focus shifted to Black Panther & Carol Danvers, we'll begin to see even more audiences swept up in the MCU fandom.
I know that Wakanda and the Black Panther supporting cast will at least feature prominently in one part of the film, but I'd also be excited to see Korg, Miek, Valkyrie, and Heimdall feature prominently for at least a scene when Thanos approaches Asgard, even if they don't stick around with Thor and the Avengers for the rest of the film.
I also hope that we see Thanos' assault on Xandar and while I think it's likely that Xandar is completely destroyed, I hope they have upgraded the Nova Corps to have the Nova Force and that can pave the way for Nova to be the last surviving Nova Corps member or the powers are passed along to someone to become the last of the Nova Corps.
As cool as it would be to see TV characters crossover, I've since given up on that hope and would much rather see them go all-in expanding the universe in the films, especially in terms of cosmic and multiverse world building and how all these different parts interrelate. This won't just be a culmination of characters and stories, but of worlds and dimensions and that will be so interesting to see how they'll pull it off.

I don't understand why every upcoming Marvel movie has people saying "this is going to be the beginning of oversaturation" when nothing like that has ever happened. Are they just continually guessing until they get it right?
Well um...

I am highly doubtful.
Avengers 4 was originally Infinity war part 2. Unless Infinity war is 3 hours long or so It's highly doubt full. From what it looks like with how they have set up the kree race, it looks more like they will go that route story wise with the original Captain marvel fighting in the kree/skrull war and finding a replacement. What happens in 1990 captain marvel film will setup how in guardians of the galaxy the kree are looked upon. Guardians of the galaxy hints to a previous issue/war the kree had that people knew about in the galaxy, ronin hints to wanting to bring them back to their glory.
So them doing a secret invasion is actually highly unlikely.

God I can't wait for this movie. 10 years in the making, and in the hands of the Russos, there's no way it'll disappoint.
Need backup?
Daredevil looks like Edd. Why the fuck is he wearing a sock on his head? lol

That's Jessica's scarf. They just happen to be talking when shit goes down, and Matt grabs that to cover his face and guard his public identity.
Give me this, Marvel.
I don't care that this is DC, they're clearly not getting to this anytime soon.
Goddammit give me this.
I've always felt that if they don't deliver this kind of hero shot then the whole endeavor will ultimately have been a failure.
DO IT MARVEL.
Doubt away. We won't have to wait long to see who's right. And that's awesome.
The hero shot in this movie accounts for twelve minutes of the runtime.
I'm confused. Are you on team "Avengers 4 is Secret Invasion?"
Because there's legitimately no chance of that. It just doesn't make sense. They're not randomly going into a completely unrelated story line out of the blue. There's too much going on and too many characters. They're not going to introduce the Skrull race, give them a purpose, have them secretly take heroes over in the second half of the Thanos story line that is meant to cap off a decade of stories.
It's not happening.
The tv characters will never be in the films. Marvel Studios doesn't treat any of the media that Marvel Studios isn't involved in as canon.
Marvel Studios has zero involvement in the the shows.
Ya'll need to remember the Netflix shows, Agents of Shield, etc are NOT Marvel Studios productions.
Rumor is that Disney, after buying Fox, will have enough movies to completely ditch Netflix and start their own service, making Disney movies exclusive to that service, including new ones. I think their contract with Netflix is expiring soon.
Maybe. But with CBS for example, Star Trek is on Netflix here too, while you guys in the US are stuck with their paid service. I'm holding out hope for the same, at least for initial role-out.
