Marvel Cinematic Universe | We had a good run, and now it's over

I could honestly see February 18 2022 be Deadpool. And July 29 2022 be Ant-Man 3, that would be four years since Ant-Man and the Wasp. And let's say they'll do post-production on The Suicide Squad up until July 2021, I don't see them getting GotG3 ready in a year, although their productions are really quick. So GotG3 for 2023, and we still got Ghost Rider, Nova, Blade and the Fantastic Four. I think we should get used to slow turnarounds for sequels, so four years till a Captain Marvel sequel seems right. Treasure of riches.
2022: Deadpool, Black Panther II, Ant-Man 3
2023: Blade, GotG3, Captain Marvel 2
2024: Ghost Rider, Nova, Fantastic Four

This is a cool idea. The MCU could use another story with Ultron, but I'm not sure it would warrant a movie or fit into any of the televisions shows.
This doesn't seem to have a place in MCU canon though, given the Hulk being as he is.
Isn't that Peter's costume from the Marvel attraction for Disneyland California?
The webshooters are the same and the lines on the blue parts of the suit are lighter than the Homecoming suit, so I think you're right!
Damage Control.....More like Ultron Strikes back.
But honestly I would love to see Ultron return either in a D+ series a future movie.
Thoughts? I think Sony would be nuts to sell Spidey, but who knows. I'm sure there's an amount of money they'd sell him for, but is that 5 billion?
Sony Pictures is estimated to be worth around $15 billion.
If Disney is willing to pay Sony $5bn for the rights of Spider-Man, they should take it and run. Also, everyone at Disney who signed off on that offer should be fired immediately. Sony could take that $5 billion and buy MGM, gain Epix, Bond and Rocky as well as MGM's library of over 4,000 films.
I don't think it's anything more than clickbait. What return will Disney make from Spider-Man when they already own the merchandise rights and cannot possibly pump out an MCU Spider-Man universe of films annually enough to justify paying more for his film rights than all of Marvel.
I saw this earlier from yahoo. I take it with a huge grain of salt. The source is Mikey Sutton from facebook. I don't know his track record, but this would be insane. Yes, for a variety of reasons you can't compare the value of the license, which has gone up, to what Disney paid for Marvel in 2009 or Lucas in 2012, but I don't think the board or Iger would pay that much for it. I would ask them why that's a better spend of capital than deleveraging, which they need to right now. Or buying back stock. Or creating a second resort in China, a 1st one in India, or a 3rd in the US. Or a plethora of other ways to use that capital.
Pretty much this.
Either way, the current sharing arrangement looks to be a winner on all fronts. And given that Tom Holland will be up for contract renewal once the existing sharing arrangement ends, Disney's in a good position to re-up the deal for even longer if Tom chooses to leverage his eligibility for renewal to keep the MCU deal going long-term (which, given how instrumental he was in keeping Spidey in the MCU, I definitely foresee him doing). As I've said before, whoever agreed to the 2 films made a smart play.

Unless it changed in 2015 or later then the rights are transferable. This FUD BS that the rights revert in the case of a sale is annoying. They even have a section for Gardner vs Nike to ensure that the rights transfer.
Excerpt from the 2011 contract:
Thanks for the correction. I guess that would explain Disney's potential desire to buy the rights wholesale.
Because, since it's an MCU film, and not just a prequel to a series of BW films, it can set up stuff, or shine a light on other things that were happening in the MCU between Civil War and Infinity War. Isn't that reason enough?
I feel like a big part of it will be Natasha setting Yelena up to be the next Black Widow
That too. There's an entire universe they get to play with. It's not just a black widow movie, it's a story about the MCU.
Prequels are a bit iffy for me, since I know the outcome. They could surprise me, though. I have an open mind.
Well, a good story is a good story. You only know what happens to Black Widow, not the other characters. Sure, Black Widow lives, but you knew she'd live in Iron Man 2, as well.
I don't see why the BW movie has to set up stuff for the future of the MCU to be interesting. I mean, I get it, it's a big part of why the MCU thrives, but a movie should merit its own existence. Natasha may be dead, but a good movie about her is still a good movie. Regarding already knowing the outcome.. I mean, you could predict the outcomes of most MCU movies before seeing them. Doesn't make them any less engaging.
I've been pretty down on Taskmaster so far from set pics and all, but if he skews close to that concept art in the final film I can fuck with it.
And I'm vaguely interested in Black Widow but it's a definite "wait for streaming" movie for me, like Ant-Man and the Wasp.

I'm not saying that it *has* to, to be interesting. I'm interested in it simply to find out what Widow was up to between Civil War and IW. That's compelling enough for me. But it's not compelling enough for others, and I guess i understand that.. But if they don't find BW to be compelling, they could find the universe compelling, and it almost certainly sets up stuff in for the future MCU, as well as maybe finally telling us what happened in Bucharest. I agree with everything you said. A good movie is a good movie.
Tasky is the selling point for Black Widow for me honestly. I really hope he's done well - and more importantly not killed off. I can't really think where else he could pop up in the current MCU schedule mind..but still.
Maybe in one of the shows? Could work in Falcon/Winter Soldier?
edit - actually is Black Widow out before or after that? I'm sick atm and my brain can't fathom dates.

before, may 2020 versus fall 2020. be nice if they set up US Agent, too. Maybe Taskmaster turns out to be USAgent.

Good. Now go watch the rest of her filmography, cause she's the best there is.
What do you mean? She's great in The Little Drummer Girl show if you want me to recommend something specific, but she's great in her movies too. She's just amazing.
What you really should be doing, is watch her Instagram stories. It wasn't long ago she saved her cactus friend.
Also can't wait for that Black Widow trailer next month.

Poor Barry
Oh yea, I remember seeing a poster for that once
Random bed thought. What if Spiderman 3 has Octopus as enemy (to set him up as the leader of S6) and the last movie on the contract of Holland is a New Avengers vs the Sinister Six?
Kraven could be a villain in Black Panther 2 to return in the New Avengers. I Imagine the Sinister 6 to be the likes of Mysterio, Vulture, Octopus, Scorpion, Kraven and shocker, against the group of the new avengers, with Doctor Strange, Captain America (Falcon), Spiderman, Black Panther and Ant Man and Wasp.

Wait the girl who played Paige is playing Yelena? That's nuts. Good for her, though. I loved that movie.
$4-5 billion is right where I imagine Sony would value the Spider-Man IP. But I can't imagine why Disney would be willing to pay that much. It'll take forever to be able to recoup that amount via spider-man films - even if they committed to doing 1 additional film a year.
There's a lot of things they could spend $4-5 billion on that would offer better margins than these films.

I also didn't know how much Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr actually improvised a huge part of the first Iron Man, so much as to call the writers in their trailers to come up with something, and for RDJ to act out Jeff Bridges' scenes. Kinda puts it in a slightly different perspective for me now, incredible how they pulled it off.
