Yeah, because female Thor was so well-received in the comics. Good luck with that.

Were any female or changed characters really that well received? It's like when people put other characters into a certain mantle, so what if Bucky or Falcon is now Captain America? Captain America fans are not fans of Captain America, they are fans of Steve Rogers. The 1980s did this crap already and guess what? The book still followed Steve Rogers.

All looks good regardless. Eternals is an interesting one, and more out there than most Marvel stuff. In comics, Thanos is techncially an Eternal and one of their bigget enemies is Apocalypse but doubt mention of such things will come up. Will be good to see who they cast as Ikarus.

The fact nothing was mentioned of Wonderman saddens me however.



Hmm, pie.

Around the Network

Pumped about Blade (please be R), Doctor Strange 2 and Fantastic Four even though I'm not even sure 2 of them count since they were just name-dropped and not in the Phase 4 timeline.



Kinda mixed feelings. I love marvel movies and I am excited about everything they announced... but I’m still disappointed... first of all, while all the Disney+ shows sound great... I don’t really like them getting lumped in with phase 4. It basically means this is a really short phase because there is just a handful of movies. Also, there is nothing unifying all these movies, no avengers or anything tying them together... this seems like a hefty step back for marvel and also makes me worried they aren’t going to build up to another big bad... like I said, I’m excited about everything here... but overall the big picture looks a lot murkier...

Fantastic 4 is not part of phase 4, but the other two are.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this isn't all of phase 4 tbh or that they're holding announcements of big movies in it for later like an Avengers-type big team-up. They did say they didn't want the next Phases to take as long to finish as Phase 1-3 did but we'll just have to see I guess

They could still very well announce one or two new films for the end of the phase.Especially an Avengers film, in which the subtitle might give something away.

But honestly?I think this is the right move.With Endgame and the Infinity Stones saga being over, and a new saga beginning, I think this is the chance to have a "soft reboot" on anything they want, be it thematics, heroes or whatever.Having a slow start can be refreshing.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Actually, Kevin Feige said he's not part of Phase 4:



I'm really interested in how Loki contributes to the MCU going forward, because if it's picking up from the Loki that escaped in Endgame like Kevin Feige said then that means it's a different timeline and a different Loki, so how can it be significant to the current universe? At that point isn't it just basically another "What if...?" showing different timeline shenanigans of another Loki? Unless they plan to end it with him somehow coming to the main timeline like how 2014 Gamora did.



Kinda burnt out on these movies. Most blur together, still need to watch Captain Marvel, no current plans to see new Spoderman, and Endgame was a let down that almost put me to sleep.

Breaking it down by title:
Black Widow: Long overdue and probably would've been better to have released before a certain something happened in Endgame. Not particularly interested.
The Eternals: eh.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Mandarin might be cool but otherwise don't care.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: The horror movie concept could be good but I doubt kid friendly Disney will really commit (also most PG13 horror movies suck)
Loki/Hawkeye/WandaVision/The Falcon and the Winter Soldier/What If...?: I don't pay for subscription based streaming services (though I do mooch off of other people's). "What If..." might be interesting.
Thor Love and Thunder - Natalie Portman is a good actress, but her Thor roles are not what I include when pitching her talent. In fact her arcs to the Thor plots were the worst parts. And as others have brought up before, the gender swapping heroes destroyed Marvel's comic sales. What's happening to Chris Hemsworth's Thor? He's one of the few Marvel heroes left that I thoroughly enjoy. Is he now a GotG? Ragnarok so was so fresh and fun, give me another movie like that Taika.

Of the ones without release dates, Blade could be interesting but only if it's R Rated. I'd like to see how the X Men are done (and to a lesser extent the Fantastic Four) but it seems like that's not happening for awhile.

I mean, I think there is a reason why Doctor Strange 2 subtitle is named as it is.
