Marvel Cinematic Universe

Kraven looks camper than…well, I can’t really say on a family site, but you know.

To be fair, I was surprised Venom did as well as it did. It’s a completely nutty fruitcake of a movie with wildly inconsistent, almost schizophrenic tones — which, yes, mirrors the character, I guess — and a leading lady who seems to be in a totally different film. I haven’t seen the second one yet but from the trailer it didn’t look any less crazy for Hardy's mugging, though is supposedly a bit more focused. I donut know, maybe their "out there" take is what makes them different, but these other "sinister Sony" movies seem to take themselves too seriously but are just baaaad…

Glad suicide squad 3 is now filming. Sure, wish we would get a thunderbolts movie with bad guys posing as good guys getting temped by the power of good however. Maybe one day.

I love how the strikes have put us back in Covidland again, as far as new movies are concerned…!

Not mcu but we may get an x-men 97 big screen movie.

I think a "movie" for D+ might be more realistic. Disney isn’t going to want to dilute its X-Men potential at this point for the intro into the MCU in a few years..

Deadpool & Wolverine:
To solve a personal crisis, the Flash Deadpool travels to an alternate multiverse where all the characters he knows are now different. He must locate Batman Wolverine, who in this world is now a cynical recluse after failing to protect his world 's version of Gotham City, but Flash Deadpool manages to re-motivate Batman Wolverine into teaming up against a new alternate villain.

...Looks like a hit!

[Ben]

It’s gonna be better than Flash, that’s for sure (though that bar was set so low it was buried!).

Loving the destroyed 20th Century Fox (yes, Fox!) logo in the background, making it clear that era's films are finished for good…well, outside of "THE X-Man" making it into this one. Too many f-bombs as usual (hence my removing the embedded version in gaastra's post above), and my only "concern" is that they look to be wanting their cake and to eat it too by mocking but also eventually going for genuality (yes, I just created that word) in the emotional stakes. Not been a Deadpool fan so far, but still hoping each next one will change my mind…

I’m so not jazzed in any way shape or form for another FF at this point. In fact, I’m kind of all MCU'd out by now.

It's the same for me, I mean after the Endgame the MCU died for me, maybe because i grew up, but who knows

[Ben]

For me, post-Endgane, it finishes with No Way Home. It’s a total reset and a new start, meaning a satisfying end. You could argue similar for Guardians 3, but that was part-prequel too, which detracted from the sense of real closure. I don’t really think any of the MCUs after Endgame, outside of Spidey, offer anything to what we need to know.
