New release dates for the MCU:
Black Widow – May 7th 2021
Shang Chi – July 9th 2021
Eternals – Nov 5th 2021
2020 will be the first year without a MCU movie since 2009. Here’s hoping WandaVision is released in December, as rumoured.
Honestly, I miss the trailers as much as the movies themselves. The hype is all part of the fun, and I can’t wait to see what Eternals looks like.

If they do it right, this has real potential to be a hit.

That doesn’t really make sense.
Why not? Certainly in the context of “MCU science” it is a plausible explanation; not that an explanation is necessary…

Dr. Strange will be in Spider-Man 3
Seems to pretty much confirm the multiverse speculation, except that this movie will be out before Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
It feels odd for them to already be filming another Spidey, given that it was just the last MCU movie, but contractually they need to release it by the end of 2021, pandemic or not.

So, Peter’s life gets too manic now that everyone knows his secret identity and he turns to magic to try and make everyone forget about it. Dr Strange refuses to meddle in such matters but some Mephisto-ish person (such as, say, Mephisto) gives him what he wants but, unbeknownst to Peter, he takes something precious to Peter in exchange. Things go from bad to worse, we enter the darkest timeline from Community territory, Evil Abed has to be defeated, Dr Strange helps Peter sort it out and return home to his real universe… but the multiverse has been untangled by this and Dr Strange has to deal with that in his movie.
Something like that.

What do people around here think? Should BP be recast? Personally, I don’t care. If they go with Shuri, I would approve. If they recast, I would approve. As long as the recast is a good actor, I don’t much mind.
1 user thanked author for this post.
-
I’d also be fine if the franchise shifted it’s focus to Shuri or something like that, but I tend to doubt that Boseman would have wanted T’Challa to die with him. It’s a tough situation for any actor filling his shoes to be in, for sure, and probably not an easy decision for Disney to make on how to proceed.
-
Well the most important thing is that they should just address the elephant in the room straight away, not at the end of the movie… Other than that, I don’t think it’s much of an issue to be honest, either recast or use Shuri-Panther… Personally I’d go with recasting T’Challa, but they better find a good and very charismatic actor who can pull off not only playing the character, but also win people over. I’m sure there’s plenty of actors who fit the bill.

It’s a strange situation, but I actually think that as a movie character, T’Challa has become so bound to Boseman that I can’t imagine recasting him.

Not to be too cynical but the branding value is in Wakanda and Black Panther, not T’Challa.

Yeah, the whole idea of Black Panther being a title passed down over the years is already clearly established in the MCU, so that’s an easy and obvious route to take.

My feeling is that the role will be recast. It seems as though, bizarrely and perhaps even a little selfishly, Chadwick Boseman hadn’t let on to Ryan Coogler or anyone else just how ill he was, so the script for BP2 is pretty much written with him still in the role. Given how far ahead Marvel Studios plan these things, it will probably also affect quite a few other movies they have in the pipeline as well, so I guess it’s a question of how easy it is for them to retool things.

Seems to me to be a major oversight in Disney’s due diligence if they didn’t know.
I assume the studio insures their actors against illness or injury.
I assume you can’t get insurance without declaring pre-existing medical conditions.
Maybe this doesn’t happen, but it just seems common sense that it should when there is literally a billion dollars at stake
-
I’d also be fine if the franchise shifted it’s focus to Shuri
I would go for that. As much as I think Boseman did a great job I’m not sure T’Challa is the most enthralling character in the MCU and every scene Shuri was on screen was pretty dynamite. It’s just me but I liked them better, stoic can be pretty boring as a main character trait.
-

Yeah, but I imagine that like with everything else, those kinds of things don’t work quite the same for regular folks and actors. I don’t see Disney signing a multi-movie deal with him if they were aware… although, on the other hand, he did have 3 appearances… so who knows…
-
I used to actually want Aldis Hodge to play T’Challa. Unfortunately, he’s now playing Hawkman.
Someone on the Hudlin Entertainment Forums suggested John Kani’s son Atandwa, who played young T’Chaka in BP.

Maybe they could seperate the Throne and the Panther roles, have Nakia or Okoye do the heavy lifting in the action.
Okoye was always my preference. I think keeping Shuri in her “Q” role and having her rebelliousness spark with Okoye’s devotion to duty would be great fun.

I think keeping the momentum going is incredibly important. I’ve lost count of the number of comic series I’ve lost interest in just because they couldn’t keep to a regular schedule. So yeah, I think this extended break will be quite damaging. And maybe it’s just me, but I have far less enthusiasm for a Black Widow movie than I do for a lot of other MCU stuff – particularly since she’s dead!
The one I’m most curious about is Eternals – I think if they’re willing to go full Kirby-cosmic it could be great fun.
While we wait for those, I’m hoping WandaVision will drop in December, as rumoured.

They feel like they’re being positioned as the first proper MCU foray into television (despite the crossover elements of Agents of SHIELD and all the other series, Netflix and otherwise, that technically take place in the MCU).
They were all made prior to Marvel TV coming under Kevin Feige’s remit. The tension between him and Jeph Loeb is no secret, so I’m sure he’d rather people forget they ever existed. I’m pretty sure Agents of SHIELD using Inhumans is what killed the movie – and then of course we got this. <disapproving look>

I liked the Inhumans TV version
Suffering from a low budget (I’m still convinced that the only reason to cut Medusa’s hair was to save on the effects budget) but I think all the characters were true enough to the comics versions and the plot was basically *the* Inhumans plot (they only have the one, really).

Is it the one where Black Bolt’s boss is coming over for dinner and everything has to go perfectly or he won’t get his promotion?

That’s unfair, there’s also Black Bolt tries and fails to stifle a laugh, destroying a banquet centre.

I mean, in all probability, what we got in terms of the show was probably the script for the movie at some point… it follows the usual MCU mo, so I can see that… I’m not sure that script would’ve made for a good movie though, but then they padded it to hell with some lame-ass filler stuff and to top it all off they did it with 10 bucks. And it showed.
The casting/acting for Black Bolt, Maximus and Karnak were good… the rest was not. But what they did with them was pretty boring anyways, so

What about the one where Crystal takes the car out without permission and gets a dent in it, then has to get it fixed without Black Bolt and Medusa finding out?

If they can have a show based around a mutant having a nervous breakdown and creating her own reality, I don’t see that there’s anything in Moon Knight that they can’t get away with. I find the whole Netflix approach – daytime-soap-opera-level melodrama with added stabbings and “fucks” – incredibly tedious.
-
-
I agree that it’s perfectly possible to do a PG Moon Knight show, it’s just not the approach I’d expect for the character.
When you stop and think about it, 99% of Big Two comic books past and present are basically G or PG. It’s only very recently that you have had some R elements or full on R stories and art.
A PG Moon Knight would actually be closer to most of his comics.

I actually found that a bit funny with guys like Liefeld insisting Deadpool had to be an R rating or nothing. All those comics he wrote and draw were all ages stuff (I know he ventured into a short lived Max series many years later).
In fact the MCU movies carry language that wouldn’t be allowed in a Marvel or DC main title now.

Yes, though it’s a lot easier to bleep swears in a comic than it is in a movie.

I mean, that about sums it up. Liefeld has never grown emotionally beyond adolescence, so he probably still finds it hilarious when people say “butthole.”
It’s very easy to address adult themes without showing exploding heads or naked breasts – it’s just that the emotionally stunted think those kinds of things are “edgy.”
