I kinda miss the days when they called it SPUMC.

No idea what's going on here (can't see the third name, but with Mackie and Kirby it's Captain America and Fantastic Four), but it doesn't appear like the image has changed in half an hour.

Marvel Edgetertainment..?

Edit: Oooooohhhhh it's been zooming out. Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan so far.

Going to be Doomsday then. Good to know Sue Storm probably survives F4 before we've seen it then.

Edit: Oh good, Shuri next.

I really need to work on my MCU backlog. The last one I watched was Dr Strange 2 - I'm 3 years behind, almost an entire blip.

Tiny chair for Ant-Man :)

I made it as far as Quantumania, which reeked. And Deadpool & Wolverine, but hardly the same.

US Agent/John Walker next, so that's both a Thunderbolts* tie-in and another spoiler.
 
Wait, is the default to assume your title characters die in their debut movie? OK...

No, but it's just nice not to have the fact they're going to make it completely confirmed before you walk in, suspending any peril there may be for that character in that film. Especially Thunderbolts* where there's an assumption one is going to be paste quite early on.

Thing also surviving, and Shang-Chi also coming back.

Edit: Kelsey Grammer!? I assume Beast?

Edit: Ugh, Sentry seems like a bigger Thunderbolts* spoiler, also Red Guardian, new Falcon, another F4er in Joseph Quinn.

Edit: Yay M'baku! Also Ghost.

Edit: LOKI!!!!!!

Edit: WHAT

Edit: Okay, X-Men are really here now. SirPatStew, SirIanMcK, and Kurt Wagner himself.

Edit: And good Mystique, not J-Law. Also it's explicitly titled "Avengers: Doomsday | Cast Announce" now.

Edit: And Cyclops...

Edit: All F4 now, and Gambit...


I presume we're saving up to the end for Tom Holland, Hugh Jackman, and Robert Downey Jr. In about six days' time.

I doubt Halle Berry would be interested in returning any more than I think anyone's enjoyment of the FF movie would be marred by knowing they all survive their first starring appearance in the MCU.

Observers have pointed out that although there's no Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds or Benadryl Kombuchabach on the chair backs, the latter's previously confirmed he'll be appearing in the movie after this one so using the reveal video as the basis of a (ahem) dead pool perhaps isn't the most reliable method of prediction.

Granted, he admits he could be talking bollocks as well, though.

Oh god I forgot that the Fox-Men are in this now. I'd have to catch up on all those as well. And the Disney+ shows.
I don't think I have the energy, my superhero fatigue is flaring up again.
 
It's hard for me to tell as I've watched the vast majority of Marvel's output over the years, but aside from Avengers: Endgame and maybe Spider-Man: Far From Home I can't think of any of their movies which'd be significantly impacted by not having watched previous MCU instalments. Maybe I'm mistaken but I think every other movie or at least arc-starter gets the viewer up to speed fairly quickly if they're not familiar with the characters.

Disney has delayed the release of 'Avengers: Doomsday' from May 2026 to December 2026, and 'Secret Wars' from May 2027 to December 2027.

With those changes, “Avengers: Doomsday” and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” are now the only Marvel Cinematic Universe entries slated to hit theaters in 2026. Additionally, there is now no theatrical Marvel feature slated to release between “The Fantastic 4: First Steps” on July 25 and the fourth Tom Holland “Spider-Man” installment on July 31, 2026 — more than a year later.

Yeah there's no way Doomsday was making that slot, as they've still got months of filming to do even before post production. There's part of the production near me at the moment (in Windsor Great Park), the filming permit runs for the next 6 months.

I don't know the plot of this one, but the set is a "Luke Cage cottage and spaceship".
 
Dang. Why did I look at the latest F4 teaser. :lol:I mean, I pretty much know what’s going on and what’s going to happen and I’m going to see the movie, but the recent post by Marvel Entertainment, :banghead: :lol:
 
Really enjoyed Fantastic Four. More for the quality of the film. Not much playful banter and play on words like the first The Avengers. Seriously, the reboot should have started from this movie. Remake Spider-Man, X-Men and everything else, in this style, from the era. The X-Men First Class would have been better with the care Mark Shakman gave to FF.

I really do have high praise for this movie. Captain America Movies and the Infinity War pieces were probably the best until FF. Felt like it was in comic book style moreso than all the MCU films.

As for the first FF post credit scene, the Thunderbolts second post credit scene doesn’t need to be seen. It’s really cool because it’s a long post credit scene, but the reference to the FF post credit scene might be best to wait and see how the next movies unfold.

No score because I was entertained. Could be watched in the theatres or at home, just before the next movies come out.

;) I’m good because I get immersed in a movie regardless of trailers.

I like to be surprised by the plot. I'm kinda funny that way. It's easy enough to get jaded by this genre nd I could use all the help I can get.

Edi Gathegi was a lot happier with his role in Superman than in the movie in which he played the indestructible mutant who gets killed off halfway through. Imagine that.

I ended up watching First Steps a total of three times and wasn't bored. I felt the main cast were exceptional and Pascal in particular did a way better job of selling his role than he did Max Lord. Some of the CGI was pretty cool though I wish they'd used Maya or some other hair animation simulation on Julia Garner's hair as the solid 'do was kinda distracting. Giacchino did his usual bang-up job.
