So, how is the Namor situation? Is't it owned partially by Paramount? Can he have a standalone movie?
The more I think about it, the more it trips me out that Okoye was included in the Endgame poster. If she's in the poster that means she has an important role to play right? Could she had taken up the mantle of Black Panther in T'Challa's (and presumably Shuri's) absence?
You mean Universal. And we don't know the exact details of the Namor situation. It would seem he's in a similar limbo as Hulk, but that's pure speculation on anyone's part.
Ha, wow, they probably had that pic set to go up right at midnight.
There it is.
Really interesting that Reynolds Deadpool is there. Who knows if it means anything.
We finally have someone in the MCU who doesn't take anything seriously and constantly turns serious moments into jokes!
I kid, I kid. Don't kill me.
Rey, Woody, Captain Marvel, Bart Simpson, Deadpool, Mickey Mouse, Elsa and Mike Mayers all under the same roof.

Reynolds' Deadpool is one of the few things that'll probably get another shot from Fox' X-Men universe.
Been thinking about how they can introduce the F4 in a way that would make sense canonically and I think I have it.
What if the events of IW and the snap creates some sort of space anomaly that is only detected after the events of EG. The Fantastic 4 crew head out to research said anomaly and we get the comic origin but with the source of the cosmic rays being the infinity stones. They could tie this into the X-men and the activating of the mutant gene in man-kind if they'd like and then we have a reason why all of these super-powered individuals are showing up. This would also make sense given how Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Captain Marvel gained their powers through the stones.

A nice way to introduce F4 would be that they were in cryosleep deep in space mission but because of the snap members of the crew started to dust, and crash in some weird planet. 4 chambers open up and we see the first family coming out of them.
As for the X-Men: The Eternals after the snap they realized how weak mankind is and in order to prevent a similar event they'll mess around with the genetic code of a small portion of humans in order to give them special abilities.

How would the latter work for the origin stories of, say, Wolverine & Magneto?
Here's Marvel's official synopsis for Endgame:
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, "Avengers: Endgame."

So then the final one from the film is probably Sandman (which would *technically* be the first villain from a Sony film to reappear in the MCU I think?). I wonder if there's more to them than just being Mysterio illusions.
Far From Home LEGO sets confirm Molten Man and Hydro Man.
Just guessing. We've seen three Elementals in the trailers, one fire, one water, one earth. The lego sets name the fire and water ones as Molten Man and Hydro-Man specifically, so I think it's a safe enough assumption for now that the earth one is Sandman. But I could be wrong.
BBFC rated a new 1:33 "trailer" for Endgame yesterday. Could be a 90-second "special look" like Captain Marvel got when tickets went on sale.
Edit: Nevermind, it's just a shortened version of the existing trailer with most of the non-Endgame footage stripped.

Good question. For Wolverine you can make him a WWII Soldier captured by HYDRA and kept in one of those secret facilities like the one in "Civil War" for years. They experimented with the Super Soldier Serum (or a poor attempt to recreate it) and from that "Weapon X" program was born. Years go by, shit go sideways, every HYDRA soldier there was killed while Logan was comatose and from here you have 2 options: A)He remained there up until The Eternals messed up everything and he wakes up or B)He was rescued by SHIELD or some other government organization and they kept experimenting on him. I don't know, I feel like with this character you have quite a few good options and even you can link him to the past of the MCU.
And for Magneto I don't know. I think they'll change the origin story so from there you can go everywhere.
Captain America is Weapon 1 in the comics. The whole Weapon X thing could work, but Wolverine was already a mutant before the program.
If Mutants are going to be a product of something the Eternals did, all they have to say is that they planted a lifeseed long ago and mutants have just developed the x-gene over time due to evolution, just like in the comics. This would have been done thousands of years ago, so having someone like Wolverine and Magneto already being mutants by WW2 really wouldnt be a problem. Just say they werent out in the open or were hiding their abilities.
The only thing they would have to explain regarding Magneto is how hes still alive since WW2 unless hes super old. Maybe he ages slower or something, i dunno. But WW2 is pretty important to his character overall.
I don't even want to think about it. The wait from Ant-Man and the Wasp to Captain Marvel was already pretty brutal.
I'm sure Marvel Studios will find a way to keep the core parts of Magneto's origin while having the idea of him existing in present day make sense.

Ticket sales are rumored for April 2nd still, or could they be any day/hour now? Last year they were already well on sale by this point.
My idea was to have the x-gene manifest incredibly rarely prior to any endgame/eternals fuckery. In one of those movies, something happens that makes it occur much more common, and you would have your mutants that don't need to have lived throughout ww2 and etc crop up during this time.
This was you could still have wolverine and magneto and etc have existed, and since they were in such small numbers, it's reasonable that they were never found throughout history.

it's brutal. luckily disney has a movie or two or ten to fill the gap
Couldn't it just be that everyone who comes back from the snap has mutant gene due to cosmic, infinity stone-y reasons. Then you'd have a huge spectrum of different people on Earth who all get their powers at different points in their life to choose from. Assuming that people remember the snap, of course, and Endgame simply doesn't reset the universe to the way it was before it ever happened. That would also leave a couple of years between Endgame and the mutant powers manifesting for a bit of in-universe bigotry/conspiracy to form against them.
You can always fall back on Hydra hijinks to explain guys like Magneto & Wolverine being much older than the snap too.
Just keep it simple. Their launch into space took place sometime between Age of Ultron and Ant-Man 2, presumed lost.
Just give Magneto a secondary Mutation that decreases his aging.
I would just make them to Astronauts who launched into space in the 90s to look up the Kree Workholes, they felt into another dimension where time works different. The re-entry into earth atmosphere that takes place after Endgame gives them their powers -> Boom. Its all connected and faithful to the books.
It was bad back then, that was a long time before it suddenly became good :D Will watch it when the Series is complete and avaiable on Blu-Ray
A lot of people gave up on it early and don't know how good it got.
Not me though, I liked it from the beginning.
Yeah I know, it was pretty bad back then, just surprised to see someone already dropped it after the pilot. Really impressive how they managed to improve so much.
Far From Home LEGO sets confirm Molten Man and Hydro Man.
Molten Man and Hydro-Man are gonna be cop-outs that people are going to complain about because they spoiled themselves by scouring the internet for every little bit or information.
No wait, this is Sony, they're gonna spoil it themselves LOL.
My problem is the hand-waiving away of why they never bother to inform the Avengers of the near-Thanos level threats they were facing in space. Also the thousands of inhumans supposedly running around the MCU.
Yeah, seeing SHIELD become as great as I wanted it to be in due time was honestly kinda rewarding.
I'm holding off rewatching it until April 25th. Such a ridiculously good movie.
New Endgame "Honor" Tv Spot.
Doesn't give us any new footage, but I think it confirms Rocket is with the rest of the group wearing one of the quantum suits, even tho we don't get a good look at him.
Also, in the group shot, you can see Thor walking behind Cap. Bruce and Carol are the only ones who haven't showed up in quantum suits.
