Personally I'd prefer to stick to his fame whore roots and maybe make it some Instagram hunter but it's an interesting twist for sure.
Jatinder is reporting the Monday box office numbers and while Spider-Man: Far From Home is amazing and puts right on track for breaking $400m domestic with $5.56m, Avengers: Endgame numbers are down right absurd, let me explain why:
Endgame's Monday is estimated at $310k. That's insane because that's a -18% drop from last Monday's $381k numbers. What a fucking insane box office run this film is having, what a fucking ride.
HOLY SHIT

The thread will just be filled with people doing drive by shitposts about how he's just a punch character.

I will never understand the ManaByte worship around here. dude sometimes has legit sources and gets stuff right, and I've never disputed that, but he also demonstrably gets a shit-ton of stuff wrong on a regular basis and never, ever owns up to it. like all insider types, he should be taken with a massive grain of salt
Eh, that's super limiting, I'd hate Black Panther to have the iron man MCU syndrome when all his enemies end up being interchangeable.
As someone that actually engaged with scoopers and trade reporters irrc three years ago, I can guarantee you that you are being unreasonably harsh on Mana. He does get to break some real scoops and has raised his game considerably for a good while now.
As someone that is very weary on "scoopers", Mana has proven to have an work ethic that I never saw from other scoopers before, El Mayimbe comes to mind. While he doesn't really spoil stuff, at the top of my head I'm pretty sure that he was the one that broke The Eternals film, Hawkeye's Disney+ series and I'm pretty sure I'm missing other stuff.
If you go at my conversations with Mana when it just started, I was one that even doubted his sources. But you can't argue with facts, he does a fucking excellent job with this and it's far more concerned in not spoiling uneeded shit like other scoopers had in the past. If he keeps going like he is doing, he will only get even bigger. Can't really argue with facts, man. The scooping game is hard, but Mana does play his cards right.
Just looking at Far from Home alone, here's ManaByte, pointing to a plot point on Agents of SHIELD of all things as proof that Mysterio was actually from another universe
Here's ManaByte saying that FFH would singlehandedly explain why Marvel Studios wasn't announcing anything for 2020 and beyond until SDCC. (yes, the post-credits scene could hint at some major plot point going forward, but there's absolutely nothing in the film that could conceivably have spoiled their 2020-22 slate if they had wanted to announce it earlier)
There's tons and tons of other stuff like this I could point to, and that's without getting into outright false stuff like Avengers Annihilation, or his occasional amplifying of obviously false clickbait rumors. These are just a few that stand out about the most recent movie.
Now, do other insider types get stuff wrong? Sure, and that's why I said to take them with a grain of salt, but they at least don't state their own speculation as fact nearly as often, and they're generally actually capable of admitting they're wrong.
How are box office totals tabulated? The studios publicize data? The theaters?
On the surface, this doesn't interest me much. Seems like too much of a retread of Kilmongers story in BP1.

I don't know if it'd be too soon to do another Mysterio like reveal, but I'd love if they gave Kraven this tragic back story about being from Wakanda only to find that he's actually just an upper-class douche who just really likes to hunt things.
Good news but with Thor in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 I worry it might be a little bit of Thor overdose.
I'm so fucking thrilled about another Thor!
No. This has not been confirmed. You could say Avengers: Endgame "sets it up," but it's no indication of actually happening.
Ah, lovely. Hopefully they go even more all out than in Ragnarok. Ragnarok is top 3 MCU for me, so... can't wait.
Not confirmed but I have a hard time seeing them just write Thor out of the Guardians in Vol 3 without him being present somehow.
Akira was originally supposed to start production on August 19. This makes it sound like Thor 4 could start production around then. That's quick. But as Tessa Thompson told us back in April to LA Times they already have a pitch.
So this could be what Variety talked about. Marvel filming in at the Fox Studios Australia. And probably this August/September/October. Eternals starts production next month. Shang-Chi starts this January. And Doctor Strange 2 in Spring 2020. I wonder if Marvel Studios could surprise us at SDCC and announce 3 films for 2020. Or if it'll just end up with Black Widow and Eternals or Thor 4 for 2020, and then Eternals or Thor 4 for 2021.
[edit] Apparently Akira's production was delayed last month together with its release date delay. So production could start in 2020 for a 2021 release.

Infinity War and Endgame really backtracked on a lot of what Ragnarok did, so I'm curious how Waititi will tackle that. Curious whether he's in GOTG3 or not.

He can backtrack as well. They let him do whatever last time.

no real reporting or even specific rumors on Captain Marvel 2, but it's obviously happening given that the first movie broke a billion
I don't doubt you there. But even though Captain Marvel 2 is a foregone conclusion at this point, it hasn't been mentioned by Marvel Studios, any of the respected trades, or in any rumors yet.
No way they're announcing that much at SDCC are there? I don't see them uncovering their whole slate but just a couple of upcoming films this time.
It's also nice to know that Taika Waititi will be writing the script from the bottom this time around.
They'll probably announce 8-9 projects. Like 3 years worth of content.
The Guardians could dump him in the first five minutes, because he's bored, or find a new mission (leading to Thor 4), or Starlord abandons him behind...
I don't particularly care about that, either way. Waititi's greatest talent is comedy, and he can take whatever situation he's landed with and turn it into happy audiences and money in the bank. If Loki isn't going to be around in Thor's life, though, the audiences may miss him. Perhaps he'll come back in some form, perhaps they'll think of something else.
It's in the real possibility, especially since announcements will be film and Disney+ Series.
This is my dream. But they're probably going in some wildly different direction.
Umm yeah, I changed my mind, just do this instead.
.. Or just put Amora into the story too.
This is what I'm thinking too. My guess is that either the Guardians will be in the opening scene of Thor 4, or Thor will be in the opening scene of Guardians 3 (depending on which movie comes first), and that'll be the extent of what they do with the Asgardians of the Galaxy stuff.
Its been a wild ride and I love the universe that has been built up. I frankly don't even care what Marvel announces for Phase 4 this weekend, I'll trust them with whatever they announce, just as I have these last few years. I've had my worries during my time watching all of these movies, but I don't even have worries anymore.
I just fucking love Marvel guys.
