Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 520

Well BP3 is far enough along that Coogler knows he wants Denzel as the villain. So maybe they already had a story idea and they thought it would work out somehow. It's just the only confirmed title we know we're getting that makes sense to try and fit in there and just happens to have ties to a February date as well. I don't think it costs them anything to set a placenolder date, so having the date out there and never needing it is better than having a movie ready to roll with no date carved out to scare away competitors.

But now that I think about, Shang-Chi 2, Doctor Strange 3, and Thor 5 could've also been intended to hit by he end of the saga. They are also titles we know they wanted to happen.

 

Both Raimi and Coogler are manageable if DS3/BP3 are the next on the to-do list. I don’t think Coogler has immediate plans after his press tour for Sinners, and Raimi just finished filming his latest project.

Nothing has been said about a writer or director for Thor 5, so this would be the biggest surprise for me.

DDC won’t be finished with Spider-Man until the fall, if he crunches it he could start production on Shang-Chi 2 for an early 2027 release, but it would probably be best for a bit of a breather, imo.

 

Chris Claremont just possibly spoiled some moments of Secret Wars while speaking at Huntsville Pop Culture Expo

RDJ is playing Doom, Iron Man, and 2 other characters
Evans is playing young Captain America and Captain Hydra
Olsen is returning as a good Scarlet Witch
Psylocke will be in the film and is “no longer Asian, but will have the same outfit”
Famke is returning as Phoenix and it took her 2 weeks longer to sign
Wolverine will kill an important character

His general takeaway is this should have this be the X-Men film that is scheduled 3 years from now. They’re all more interesting than the Avengers

 

omg what was he thinking haha

 

Feige sending the hit squad

 

RDJR confirmed as Doom, Iron Man, Dr. Doolittle, and Steve Lopez

 

It really is so weird how they haven't jumped into some new X-Men movies yet.

 

The consensus on the spoiler reddit seems to be one of extreme doubt because why would he even be in a position to know?

 

Chris Claremont kinda just says shit, lol. He’s a charmingly bitchy & opinionated old man who loves to ramble, who once had a pretty bad stroke and was a fascinating character long before that. He once at a panel talked about a story he wanted to tell where the Brood Queen goes to heaven.

He’s a big enough deal to the company that he would probably know things, but also. The movie probably isn’t far enough along for him to know that much? Bet it’s a blend of fanfic and actual intel.

 

Yeah most of what he said seems like common sense that anyone familiar with the MCU could guess
