The odds of Doctor Strange 2 just being Triumph and Torment with Loki instead of Doom are fairly high, right? There aren't that many to pull from and that'd certainly fit with the focus on team-ups going forward.

One other interesting thing from the Feige chat:

The 2019 schedule (Currently Unnamed Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel) is not finalized. They might add a 3rd movie with a Fall release date to replace the previous Inhumans movie slot. (This will most likely be a Doctor Strange or Black Panther sequel.)

They're using Hela in Thor 3 so they might be wary of doing another ruler of the underworld story. In one of the CD threads somebody said the rumour was Nightmare being the big bad.

Yeah. CineD speculation is that assuming Doctor Strange does well there's going to be a direct sequel and the villain will be Nightmare or Chthon. There's some speculation that Dormammu or Shuma-Gorath may be the next big MCU-wide villain after Thanos.

The Empirikul from Aaron's run would be cool for a Strange movie.

I'd keep my eyes out for a Nova movie, and for Marvel to start considering legacy heroes.

I find that weird, because I don't think there's a glut of them right now. At least, not any more than you'd expect out of a super hero franchises. None of the Caps or Iron Mans were.

I think the idea is that after Infinity War they'll probably have gone as far in that direction as they can.

It'll be nice to not have so much buildup, too. There really is no way the fight against Thanos is going to live up to the expectations of ten years.

I wouldn't mind if the Dr. Strange sequel also had Blade and was the Montessi Formula storyline.

Only reason I'm bummed that Zendaya is Mary Jane, is that it seemed slightly more interesting when it was rumored she would be Liz Allan (and possibly Firestar) instead.

Edit: OK I just learned Liz Allan is apparently in the movie played by someone else so that is cool.

The stories are all pretty by the numbers but I like that the films all look and feel quite different.

Probably the one film that bucked the trend was Winter Soldier, really just because you were expecting solely a Winter Soldier adaptation but they grew in some Secret Warriors too. Iron Man 3 also with the Mandarin reveal.

I dunno. I think they Judas gotta tick off some nerd list checkboxes and every one will rave it's the best thing ever.

1. Thor days "We would have words with thee, Thanos" to make up for him not saying it to Ultron.
2. Ultron beats Thor into his own hammer.
3. Captain America picks up the hammer.
4. Throw in something stupid out of left field like Tony puts Hulk in the Hulkbuster armor to form DOUBLE HULK

But as long as they do the first three. Just do it the way nerds have already mapped it out in their heads for ten years.

Yeah I think I forgot to mention here but the Marvel Studios logo change is so bad. They went from something which was visually quite interesting to boring stills from previous films.

It's pretty darn ugly and is going to look dated as hell in about 5 years. Heck, it looks pretty dated now.

That new logo looked good in 3D.

I'm not worried about Infinity War. It's going to be huge and awesome. Just putting all these characters in the same movie will be worth the price of admission. Tony Stark trying to out snark a talking Raccoon, Scott Lang and Peter Quill: Lovable losers, or any of a thousand other combinations.

It's going to be difficult to balance all of those character interactions and still tell a compelling story. Avengers alone had to sell you on, what, 6-10 big MCU characters coming together and interacting? It was a disjointed mess and Infinity War looks to at least double that cast.

I'll admit, I wouldn't mind if the story just stops for 20 minutes to get all sorts of character interactions going, like Scott shrinking Rocket to half his size so he'd be the perfect plushie for his daughter while Peter and Steve chat up about how much the earth's changed since they left (and Peter losing his mind about the upcoming Star Wars movie and how he'd be a dumbass not to see it in theaters December 2020 on 3D IMAX) or Spidey bugging Stephen about wizard stuff.

2:20 or so, and you drop the hammer from the word go. 20 minutes maybe of getting into it, then flat out. It'd be fine.

Yeah like the time Hawkeye's family was brutally murdered in front of him and how Pietro and Wanda were loving. And how Captain America is an enormous rear end in a top hat to everyone.

The films take some visuals and that's about it. If Sam Jackson wasn't playing NIck Fury you could barely even say the films had any Ultimate influences.

To be fair, we didn't know they WEREN'T loving. Maybe they would have explored that story arc in a future movie if Whedon didn't kill off Quicksilver so soon?

This is a joke!

Good point, though. Still, I'd say Liz Allen is enough of a C-List supporting character that if she did have a major role making her Firestar wouldn't be a stretch, especially if Marvel wants a bunch of background heroes eventually to support the main ensembles.

Yeah, even the Liz version was a mutant.

Some of that Ultimate stuff could get pretty complicated if one of the 3 decided to use them. Like Ultimate Jessica Drew. At least with the relationship between Sony and Marvel that would probably get worked out. It's not like her name is important, they could just change it.

They've got Silk to do a female led Spidey movie if they want anyway.
