10 Years After 'Star Wars,' the UK Is Winning as Hollywood's Global Production Hub

Britain has pressed its advantage as one of the world's top filming hubs with incentives that its U.S. counterparts can't match.

I would love if they add the trailer of Doomsday, at the end credits of The Fantastic 4: First Steps, after the "The Fantastic 4 will return" text.

Shades of Captain America First Avenger 2011 and that post-credit Avengers trailer.

So since there's no Armor Wars, what are the chances we see Rhodey/Don Cheadle in this?

 

[Arachnerd]

I'd wager 50/50.

Since they are going to be shooting in London, anyone think we might get some set photos of Castle Doom? There are real castles I am sure Marvel could get access to.

I think the biggest problem I have with this movie is that it doesn’t feel “earned”. All the previous Avengers movies had so much buildup across multiple movies. This sorta just feels like it’s been added to the slate with no real foresight.

Having said that, I hope I’m wrong & it’s awesome.

You mean the movie that up until last year it was called Kang Dynasty, had a totally different villain and was supposed to be written and directed by completely different people? What makes you say that?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I wonder if we will ever get a REAL leak for what the Kang Dynasty plans were (and not that fan fiction going around the net for months)

Which could help Fantastic 4. But Marvel Studios haven't done this post-credits trailer since 2012?

They did it in NWH. The 2nd scene was a trailer for MoM.

Yes. And not just that but there aren't characters leading the charge. Who are we supposed to be following? What is the narrative here?

I think the approach for this would be different compare to how they set up Thanos and those colorful stones. But the Multiverse sub-plots from The Marvels, No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, Deadpool & Wolverine and First Steps do seem like its heading into a multiverse-all-stars collision, even if Kang was scrapped.

I hope they could pull it off next year and next next year.

 

[donuts]

I fear that the next two Avengers movies are going to be total nostalgia-fests.

 

[BMM]

I don’t necessarily think Doomsday will be, but I think Secret Wars will be 30 years of Marvel on the big screen.

 

[psylockolussus]

I look forward to the credits scene of Secret Wars in which they honor the pre-MCU actors one by one.

Light spoilers for Brave New World and the reformation of the Avengers:

Spoiler

Who do you think Sam is going to recruit for the New Avengers?

My guess / hope, in addition to Sam Wilson / Captain America and Joaquin Torres / Falcon, we see the following:

Bruce Banner / Hulk. After the downfall of Ross and re-emergence of Leader, Banner returns as Hulk (now able to control his transformation with a new gamma gauntlet).

Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel. Now back on Earth, Carol returns to the Avengers.

James Rhodes / War Machine. After Secret Invasion, Rhodey is looking for redemption/purpose.

Scott Lang / Ant-Man. After Quantumnania, Scott can’t shake the feeling another doomsday is coming, and leaps at Sam’s invitation.

Okoye. Now longer a Dora Milaje after Wakanda Forever, Okoye seeks purpose again with the Avengers (with a redesigned/sleeker Midnight Angel armor courtesy of Riri Williams)

Shang-Chi: Invited by Wong, Shang-Chi’s ten rings may hold a secret to the impending incursions foreshadowed by Leader (and confirmed by Wong)

Wong. Now Sorcerer Supreme (and with Strange off in the multiverse), Wong has stayed in contact with Carol and Bruce after Endgame.

That’s our core 9(!) Avengers moving forward: Captain America, Falcon, Dr. Bruce Banner, Captain Marvel, War Machine, Ant-Man, Okoye, Falcon, Shang-Chi, and Wong the Sorcerer Supreme.

 

[psylockolussus]

Honestly, with so many characters possibly from different realities making an appearance, I don't think it matters. They are just going bond together to defeat the main threat similar to Infinity War and Endgame.

they will start production in April on two more Avengers sequels for Marvel and Disney.

 

[FlareKnight]

It's still kind of wild to me that we're really heading into having an Avengers movie coming out next year. This is going to be a real test for the MCU. Because this is easily the shakiest they've gone into Avengers movies. The one good thing is at least they are going to use two movies to tell this story which gives them a chance of putting something solid together. Obviously there's risks it won't since they did turn hard away from their original Kang plans and went a bit desperate for Doom's casting.

Just tricky all around. My fingers are crossed and hoping for the best here. But will start filming fairly soon and hopefully their plans are rock solid.

But it's the aftermath of Secret Wars that makes me wonder. The note and direction they end that movie on will kind of decide everything going forward.

I mean, I called that concept like....months ago, lol! No scoop needed

As for the concept, meh. I still hate what we are doing with Doctor Doom and see this as a monumental waste of an amazing villain

Russo Brothers On Shooting New ‘Avengers’ Films Back-To-Back In London: “We May Or May Not Survive”

Filmmaking sibling duo Joe and Anthony Russo previewed to Deadline the forthcoming Marvel movies 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars'.

“It’s all in London, we’re shooting them fairly back-to-back, it’s a lot of work again, we may or may not survive, we’ll see,” Joe Russo told Deadline’s social media manager Natalie Sitek on the red carpet. “But we’re very excited about it. We found a way into the story that we think is gonna be challenging for audiences, it’s challenging for us to execute. And it’s really exciting for us, it gets us out of bed to do it.”
