Jay 32,087 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Seemed to make sense to me to have a thread for general MCU news, rather than putting it all in Future Films thread, especially since each entry doesn't get their own thread, etc, and it's a popular film series with lots of news coming out all the time. For starters, here's a video about the various easter eggs that have been in the films This video catalogs almost every Easter egg in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,091 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, it doesn't really matter who is popular in each universe, since all comic books do these days is supply character for films and other merchandise. Comic books are virtually the worst selling aspect of this business.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,256 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 LOL, what went wrong with their strategy?They didnt have one for a long time.When Marvel was starting up their series Batman was being handled by Nolan, and was very very succesfull, but completely stand alone. And while that series was going there was no possibility at all of DC starting anything else with that character. Superman is DC's other most popular character, but one that had not been truly succesfull in the movies for decades really. And considering all the failed attempts to restart a movie franchise for that character....The Burton attempt, the James Cameron attempt.So without those two, by far the most popular DC characters of the Justice League, you can't really hope to start up anything.So now Nolan is done with the Bat, they did a decent reboot of Superman and they can start. But Marvel is miles ahead, so they are trying to catch up. But really I have no idea what this next film is supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It never occured to me that Loki's staff or the Tessaract were one of the gems (or stones, in this case). Was that confirmed somehwere, or just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 5,885 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The Tesseract is confirmed - in the Thor 2 post-credit scene, the Asgardians bring the Aether to the Collector because Odin is already safeguarding the Tesseract, and too many Infinity Stones in one place is bad for business.Apparently The Collector does not share the same level of caution. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 32,087 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 So when/how did Loki's Staff get confirmed as an infinity stone?I haven't seen Thor 2 or Cap 2 yet, either. Curiously, their predecessors where the two Phase 1 films I didn't see in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 At this point most are simply assuming Loki's staff in the mind gem based off its capabilities. For some reason Marvel decided to change all the colors of the Infinity Gems in the films so until they actually mention something concrete its just speculation at this point. All the others are confirmed. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 32,087 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well the original stones in the order in that comic panel follow ROYGBIV minus oneIt's possible when filming Thor 1 and the Avengers they hadn't been planning on making those two things Infinity Stones yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=106149"So, for Dr. Strange they've had a script in-house forever. It is a pretty standard origin story for Doctor Strange. It's got Baron Mordo as the bad guy. That's all gone. Marvel's new thing is no more origin stories. So, Dr. Strange movie no longer has an origin. It begins in medias res. It has Dr. Strange already established as the Sorcerer Supreme. It is a totally new script. Jon Spaihts is working totally new, On his own, without any of the previous stuff. Not even touching the previous script."http://www.techtimes.com/articles/11524/20140729/marvel-studios-president-doctor-strange-will-crazy-acid-trip.htmThat contradicts the newer information about this not being an origin story, but I hope the tone will remain similar to what Feige described.High hopes for this.
