No wonder this is the end of Phase 3.

Just throwing out some wild speculation so that I can strut around like a big man on the slim chance that I'm accidentally right: there's not actually a Black Widow film forthcoming. Yes, they're currently filming something which features Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as Black Widow and they've allowed people to believe that it's a Black Widow movie, but because no MCU film beyond Far From Home has been officially announced and because we know what we know about the character in question, I predict some Captain America: Society of Serpents sleight of hand once the official slate drops.
Mods, if I am revealed to be wrong please delete, thx.

Literally just had a friend bring this up yesterday. I don't see why they would do this, both in secret and right after they introduced someone else taking over for Captain America.

Falcon and Bucky are getting their own show (which, if rumors are to be believed, involves a third party vying for the shield) so they're set for a little while.
― John Denver – Led Zeppelin IV (Part II) (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 June 2019 19:03 (four years ago) link
(A third party new to the MCU but familiar to comics heads and whose ID I'll bet you can guess if you think about it for a minute.)

But yes, the fact that they otherwise seem to be shunting the expanded Avengers cast off to their own little Disney+ miniseries for the next little while as they shift their filmic focus elsewhere would seem to lend credence to my theory.

they've been making big noises about Black Widow being due her own movie, etc
would be kind of weird to shunt her aside for...whatever it is you're suggesting

They also fridged her to make a redemption arc for Hawkeye without actually redeeming him, so...

Again, FTR, they're definitely making a movie with Black Widow in it. Location photos have started leaking recently so that isn't in dispute. I'm just questioning whether it's going to be a solo film entitled Black Widow.
Let's be real, there's no variation of this scenario that makes a whole helluva lot of sense from our current vantage, so I'm just spitballin' heah.
― John Denver – Led Zeppelin IV (Part II) (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 June 2019 19:39 (four years ago) link
Eh, since they've now introduced the multiverse to the MCU, nothing's stopping them from doing a Black Widow movie set in an alternate universe where she didn't die. Sure, it sounds like an geeky and seemingly hard-to-market concept, but then again, the same applied to Into the Spider-Verse before it became a hit movie.

Got a friend who's been on set. It's a Black Widow movie.

Starring Cole Sprouse as Black Widow

i am on set now and am black widow, so

oh shit ulysses is cole sprouse?loved u in big daddy dude
― Aspen Jortstein (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 3 June 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link
coincidentally "big daddy dude" is also the villain in black widow
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 3 June 2019 21:22 (four years ago) link
I heard the Black Widow movie filming is actually a remake of the Debra Winger movie. She will nonetheless reprise her role as Wonder Girl and face off again ScarJo as Black Widow. It will mark the first in several planned MCU/DC/erotic thriller crossovers.

you had to make it weird

Oddly enough, that is the working title.

Announcement of the phase four slate expected this evening.

Buzz Lightyear and Han Solo coming to the MCU.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 July 2019 17:46 (four years ago) link
TEN new movies coming out over a two year span. Suck it, haters.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 00:39 (four years ago) link
Oh, maybe that's ten projects being announced including the Disney+ shows.Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings announced thus far. Live blog on I09, where they're fucking up the spelling of most character names. Lots of juicy tidbits getting dropped, though. Adult Monica Rambeau will be in WandaVision!
I don't care if I'm the only person excited about this here. I just don't care.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:01 (four years ago) link
did you see the poll results
― Simon H., Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:06 (four years ago) link
Sounds like Dr. Strange sequel (Multiverse of Madness) is gonna be a horror flick.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:09 (four years ago) link
Hawkeye show is basically gonna be the Fraction/Aja book, costarring Kate Bishop.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:25 (four years ago) link
On board for Loki 4

Watiti directing a female Thor sounds exciting until you realize who's returning to the fold...
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:31 (four years ago) link
Well, well. Mahershela Ali cast as Blade, also FF confirmed(!!!) but a TBA release date somewhere down the line, probably after the scheduled flicks.
― My nephew accidentally swalled five quarters and thee dimes. (Old Lunch), Sunday, 21 July 2019 01:46 (four years ago) link
So, plot and cast news aside, not really anything that hasn't already been semi-officially announced or strongly hinted at. Black Widow, Eternals, Dr. Strange 2, Thor 4, and Shang-Chi all given firm release dates through 2021, and Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, GOTG 3, FF, and Blade all confirmed to be on the way at some point.

I’m legit excited for Kate Bishop, I hope they do a good job!

I was thinking "but which Tony Leung?", unsurprisingly the more famous one. I thought the less famous one has more martial arts skills but I haven't seen enough of their films.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 21 July 2019 10:49 (four years ago) link
Tony Leung will be portraying the actual, non-Kingsley Mandarin (and presumably Shang-Chi's pop-pop).

I saw the movie list on slate and thought it was a joke. WandaVision, really?
― adam the (abanana), Sunday, 21 July 2019 21:05 (four years ago) link
It's one of their streaming shows- along with Falcon/Winter Soldier, Loki, & Hawkeye

I know this is par for the course (and a "O Rly" observation); but as a Marvel Comics reader but a barely-into-the-MCU guy, it's interesting to have conversations w/big MCU fans who don't know the comics at all. Like this morning, a colleague at work -- "Is there even a female Thor in the comics? Ugh, I hope Natalie Portman doesn't replace Hemsworth," etc.

usually in regards to someone commenting on some thing as being totally crazy, unpredictable, weird etc. and then asking me "is that a real thing?" (by which they mean "does that have some actual basis in published comics?")

tbh I always find this baffling, how someone can find a subject so engaging in one medium, but beneath contempt (or not worth doing the most cursory investigation necessary) in another medium
― Οὖτις, Monday, 22 July 2019 22:22 (four years ago) link
like people that were really excited about Watchmen but didn't have any interest in reading the book
― Οὖτις, Monday, 22 July 2019 22:23 (four years ago) link
I find it hilarious that people think that movies would introduce wackier elements than comic books
