Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises

Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.

Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).

Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And a Black Widow movie with Florence Pugh as Yelena.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And they're confirming that Valkyrie is queer (getting involved with a woman, so I don't know if she'll be bi or lesbian or pan or what).

The hero we need AND the hero we deserve.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Florence Pugh is a major talent. The folks at Marvel sure know what they are doing. Curious as to when the movie will be set. Obviously before Endgame but before or after the First Avengers movie? Hmmm.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Obviously before Endgame but before or after

I would guess before.

Very weird that there's no Black Panther sequel scheduled.

However, they did CONFIRM the Hawkeye TV show, and it has the Matt Fraction/David Aja logo!

There is also going to be a movie about an Asian Marvel hero (... did not know they had one!) called Shang-Chi

Shang-Chi was created by Marvel in the 1970s to cash in on the kung-fu craze at the time. It was one of the better comics from Marvel then (with the caveat that it was written and drawn by white men). The character faded once the kung-fu fad ended.

The guy now playing Shang-Chi tweeted at Marvel in April 2018 about playing Shang-Chi, presumably talking shit.

It's almost certainly not going to be R rated.
