Myrddin Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 (edited) I was going to ask about Madame Webb in the Trailer thread, but this seems like the better place. Given the nebulous nature of the Multiverse Saga in the MCU, my question about Sony's multiverse intersecting MCU Prime feels appropriate way to start a new thread. So. We have another Spiderverse movie. Have they even confirmed whether Venom, Morbius (snicker), Kraven, and Madame Webb are in the same universe? All I know is Tom Holland's Spider-Man is in 616 and Tom Hardy's Venom is not. And they wonder why casual viewers are overwhelmed and confused by MCU Phase 4 and 5 alongside Sony's Phase 1.5.

Kalbear Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Looks like they're also trying a different distribution for this one too, doing an ep every day for 9 days. Really just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 The director for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has left the project. That makes the rumors about the MCU potentially distancing itself from Majors and getting rid of Kang even stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: They should just recon Loki's finale as having solved the Kang problem and move forward with Doom and/or X-Men. It's not like anyone is really invested in Kang as a character/threat.

Considering that no one even knew we were even in a phase with the last sequence of movies; I think you could quite easily just pivot away and make Deadpool 3 the Avengers type event that changes the approach.

Rhom Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 I don't know why there's so much confusion on why things aren't working. The first two phases were very clearly delineated. IM -> Hulk -> IM2 -> Thor -> Cap -> Avengers IM3 -> Thor 2 -> Cap3 -> Avengers 2 I complained at the time a couple years ago that there was no current phase. Throwing a bunch of standalone movies at the wall with no structure and no "event" to target made the entire franchise feel aimless. Step back. Take a breath. Focus on how to build.

What if it's like Dallas, and everything after Endgame is just The Watcher having like, an insane drug trip, and like Pam in Dallas, it was all a dream? A giant cosmic hallucination brought about by too many cervezas and nachos on movie night at The Watcher's House of Fun.

Myrddin Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 26 minutes ago, Rhom said: IM -> Hulk -> IM2 -> Thor -> Cap -> Avengers Granted they were only loosely aiming (hoping) for an Avengers movie at first, they were still able to organically sow the seeds of the end of Phase 1 within the others. Loki was established in Thor and the Tessaract in Cap. 30 minutes ago, Rhom said: IM3 -> Thor 2 -> Cap2 -> Avengers 2 Again, Age of Ultron was organically set up in the others. IM3 = Stark with PTSD wanting to create a shield around the world. Cap 2 = Rogers starting to distrust idea of power in the wrong hands. Ultron was the result of both vision* and worst nightmare of both Rogers and Stark. Of course, that concept took one step further in Civil War (Avengers 2.5) to break up the team, and set up losing in Infinity War. The only thing I feel from Phase 4 is the Chaos of the Multiverse (which I guess is the point?) and the leadership vacuum left in the wake of Endgame. *unintended nod toward Vision. heh.

SpaceChampion Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 (edited) Confirmation: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/fantastic-four-casts-reed-richards-1235392357/ Still dependent on sorting out his shooting schedule though. He's apparently not returning for season 4 of Mando. Edited November 15 by SpaceChampion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the point of it? "Phase 4" has always been hard for me to delineate. Yeah you had the fake out multiverse in Far From Home and then the real Multiverse movies in No Way Home/Multiverse of Madness. But you also had movies that had no seeming connection to multiverse in Shang Chi, Eternals, and BP2. Was Quantumania the end of P4 or the beginning of P5? Even the TV shows didn't have a consistent theme there. WandaVision only teased a multiverse with the the Boner joke. Hawkeye. MoonKnight. SheHulk. No multiverse. Loki and What If? were clearly MV. So when you look at a "set up," there wasn't even a consistent hook for that. Even the post credits scenes didn't do much to build it up. Instead we had things like whatever happened at the end of Shang Chi and a signal of some sort. A sword at the end of Eternals we are likely to never see now. In P1/P2, most of the real shared universe building was done in those short scenes "I. Am. Ironman." "Have you ever heard of the Avengers initiative?" "There's a hammer in the desert" "Fine I'll do it myself." Those are the only real things that hinted at a larger universe at first.

It's not like anyone is really invested in Kang as a character/threat. I thought they kinda did. The TVA is busy hunting Kang variants. I figure that they'll be successful at this job until Feige and co. decide to re-cast Kang and then we can have a Council of Kangs big event movie.
