A "Silver Age" MCU feels fresh to me. This is the third time they've pulled a "We got this super powerful hero who was missing for decades back just in time to fight the big bad" though.

Coming in 2030: Jim Hammond: The Human Torch: The Actual Actual First Avenger this time we swear.

Because he’s incredibly knowledgeable about classic Fantastic Four, and would be able to do some great concept work.

I’m also waiting for Phil Noto to weigh in.

Sorry, Cronenberg is born to adapt the X-Men "Phalanx Covenant" adaptation. Maybe he can do your movie while they establish the X-Men :)

edit: And redeem that poo poo storyline by making it darker and more hosed up, mind you.

I just read what the reference to Peter was in Madame Web and maybe we were all wrong. Maybe it's the greatest movie ever filmed.

Also apparently one of the lines in the film is "I know you're looking forward to being an uncle, Ben." I mean how do you beat something like that?

Those are old guys only nerds know. The other two are mainstream, Sweeney especially blew up even more since being cast.

(Those are much bigger wastes, because they are both significantly better actors but just lacking the public awareness. After the GoT debacle Emilia Clarke had all the goodwill in the world and that's what they did with it.)
