Spider-Man: Far From Home (Jon Watts, July 2, 2019) Movie • Page 15

In addition to what was already said, the suit he looked at was the Homecoming/Civil War one, not the Infinity War/Endgame one that he has on for part of this trailer. When that one is an option, I don't see a reason for the semi-Iron suit that is the Homecoming one. *shrug*

 

A multiverse works in the DC TV universe because it's multiple series co-existing. Introducing a multiverse here would be a pretty easy (lazy) way of introducing Ryan's Deadpool (and X-Men) into the mix, which I guess would be kinda cool, but yeah, as someone who doesn't read the comics I do agree with you somewhat, they should just focus on bringing us good narratives (and better representation) instead of trying to bring everything together.

 

So... Mysterio definitely has the Time Stone from his universe, right? At least that's what it seems to me based on the green symbols his magic makes. The plot could revolve around returning him to his universe so it doesn't fall apart now that it's down an Infinity Stone. Or maybe now that the current MCU has no Infinity Stones left thanks to Thanos destroying them different beings/creatures are being pulled from the past/present/future/alternate realities into the current one?

 

I also think it's possible that after Dark Phoenix there won't be many X-Men characters to theoretically carry over into the MCU. There's already one significant character that isn't surviving the movie, and that's on top of whatever happens to Jean Grey.

I'm 100% on board bringing in Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool, but that's just because I think he's the perfect casting for that character (in the same way Sir Patrick Stewart was a perfect Professor X or Harrison Ford is a perfect Han Solo), and because Deadpool's 4th wall breaking can easily explain away the rest. Recast the other mutants if/when they show.

 

Out of curiosity, would you be okay with them mentioning the multiverse in this movie, but not really doing anything with it until later (if at all)? I really want to see if it's just something they're making a nod to or if it plays into the bigger picture of things before deciding how I feel about it. But I 100% agree about MJ being a wonderful part of the movie.

 

They could put Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool in almost any movie in any genre and I'd probably be okay with it.

 

Fully agreed.

 

I do think the multiverse could be used well in a movie. My main problems are, one, I hate the idea of another big storyline being teased anytime soon, and two, I don't think we need some lame in-universe explanation for how mutants or whatever come into the picture. But, a very long time from now 'cause, my gosh, big stories like Endgame should be the exception, not the expectation, lol, Hickman's Secret Wars could be a cool premise.

If we get more Deadpool movies, since Disney is apparently still using the Fox banner here & there going forward, I think those should fall under that & be completely separate from the MCU. Maybe have cameos from MCU actors the way they had the X-Men in Deadpool 2 for 5 seconds, but not actually having that in the MCU canon at all. It's not really a good fit, imo. I really don't need everything to always be connected at all times, y'know? Which I think is kinda what you're saying at the end of your post, too.

 

I liked the Rogue Cut, I thought DoFP (and I guess Logan?) was a great way to end the franchise. Then they made two more. Yeah, I'm not really into the idea of bridging everything. Maybe only DP.

 

If Kevin is producing the films then they’ll definitely be interconnected and a part of the MCU world.

 

amazing to me that people are debating whether Mysterio is telling the truth about the multiverse like grifting and lying aren't, ya know, the entire focal point of his character

 

Yeah...I know that. I’ve also come to expect that the MCU occasionally throws a curveball when it comes to the rogues gallery.

 

it's a given he's lying

but if the storytelling is even halfway decent I certainly hope we're not able to instantly suss out the nuance of WHAT he's lying about in particular based on a couple of trailers

 

If we get the multi-verse, I hope we get a Miles Morales soon.

 

Yea I really hope they don’t truly go down a multiverse route. Like maybe in a Doctor Strange sequel or something but not as a constant part of the MCU. There’s just no way to do it without it getting messy and ultimately making me care less about the characters.

I do really like the idea of Mysterio lying about that though. I kind of wonder if they do have him start genuinely good and go bad, but it’s more likely to me he is just the cause of all this. It’s just way too obvious for it to be a straightforward “he was the bad guy all along” twist without some deeper layer to it.

Also if (when) X Men are introduced, I think it would be a really bad idea to not start fresh with that (selfishly at least because the only related movie I've seen since Last Stand is Deadpool). We already know the stones can give people powers (Scarlett Witch) so I think it makes sense people being snapped in and out of existence by them may come back affected, and it would be a cool way to naturally introduce them. But we don’t need the multiverse for that.

Although there's also an argument that the mutants may have started appearing the 5 years that we don't know much about.

 

Seriously. We didn't need an explanation in Endgame & don't need one in Far From Home. They're just there.

 

Couldn’t they just say that using the infinity gauntlet on earth released weird radiation into the planet and that caused mutants

 

Yowza this trailer revealed a lot

 

Gyllenhaal better not die

 

Got my tixs it’s awesome it’s coming out on a Tuesday tixs where $5

 

Yeah this looks great, Tom Holland has now been in the most Spider-Man movies. He's just so quirky and has a good vibe about him. Hopefully they play up MJ pretty soon but everyone is gonna know he is Spider-Man at this rate. He'd be as well as doing the Civil War unmasking moment.

 

In a bizarre twist, the MCU is actually the Ultimate Cinematic Universe and Mysterio is from the 616 Cinematic Universe
