MCU: The Marvel Cinematic Universe Official Discussion - Part 1

[Roadkill]

I kind of feel like trying to shove Dormammu, Baron Mordo, AND the Mindless ones all into one movie would be pushing it. You could maybe get away with doing two of those, but not all three. And I also want Clea to appear as well.

Might simple be Mordo as the principle villain with Dormammu as the shadowy behind the scenes baddy with the big reveal at the end of the movie setting up a second movie dealing with the inhabitants of the Dark Dimension.

I'm really interested to see the Dr. Strange villains in live-action. I don't read Dr. Strange comics but I have seen some of them in Ultimate Alliance videogames, Capcom games and the straight to DVD animation film of Doctor Strange.

Of the characters Marvel owns, I think he might have the best rogues gallery.

It's not well known....but yea some really great characters.

I agree! Dormammu, Nightmare, Shuma-Gorath, Mordo, Satannish (who has an awfully stupid name but is so reminiscent of the King in Yellow), they are all really great villains. As a life-long Lovecraft fan, a Strange movie just has so much potential

 

[Loki882]

The only problem with doing Shuma-Gorath is that he's incredibly powerful. He's supposed to make beings like Galactus and Thanos look like bugs by comparison. They'd have to seriously nerf him in order to justify Strange alone decisively defeating him.

 

[DrCosmic]

Well, yeah if Dr. Strange is supposed to punch him to death. But defeating super powerful beings usually involves some crazy loophole thing that either causes them to not be interested, be uberly nerfed, or defeat themselves. It's not like The FF actually beat up Galactus with their powers, they just... convince him to go away, or erase all of reality to take him out, or something like that.

I don't know if his rogue's gallery is "The best" but it definitely is very underrated.

 

[Flint Marko]

I know very little about his rogues gallery, but Dormammu would be a great on screen presence. A lot of potential for a Dr. Strange movie to be awesome.

No Planet Hulk

Just looked at some pictures of him ..... he looks like a cross-breed of Ghost Rider and Ultron.

 

[chamber-music]

I see Baron Mordo and the Mindless ones as the main villains with Mordo's real master Dormammu behind the scenes pulling the strings. They can also introduce Umar through her daughter Clea.

Dormammu could be the main villain in the sequel and perhaps The Hood as his new henchman on earth if Mordo doesn't come back. Shuma-Gorath as main villain in third film.

 

[metaphysician]

Might simple be Mordo as the principle villain with Dormammu as the shadowy behind the scenes baddy with the big reveal at the end of the movie setting up a second movie dealing with the inhabitants of the Dark Dimension.

I'm not sure if "shadowy" is the right term. Dormammu should generally come off as more bombastic. I do agree on the basic structure, though.

 

[Roadkill]

Well shadowy in the sense that you might have a scene earlier in the movie where Mordo is communicating by sorcerous means with someone without it being obvious who it is. You might not see Dormammu in all his flame headed glory until late in the movie or perhaps not until the mid credit scene.

Feige says the plan is to release a sequel and a new character each year:

What he actually said was:

"I don't know that we'll keep to [that model] every year, but what we're doing this year and what we're doing next year is: existing franchise, new franchise, existing franchise, new franchise. So I think it would be fun to continue that sort of thing. I don't know that we will [do that] all the time, but as a general model, I think that would be fun."

I said it wasn't set in stone for sure. He basically said that's their ideal plan. Doesn't mean for sure.

 

[Dr. Evil]

If they don't announce BP or Carol Danvers at all through 2019, then I hope Marvel has a good reason not to announce either.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

just as expected

 

[Shikamaru]

"One sequel, one new character" means we won't get Thor 3 till 2017 at the earliest, 4 years after Thor 2 and 2 years after A2. In my opinion, that's great news. They have plenty of time to flesh out the direction and finally make a great Thor film.

 

[Son of Coul]

^Agreed, we had three years of Thor in a row, and we'll see him in a more limited capacity in AOU. Give us time to miss Asgard instead of rushing back without a full game plan.

 

[cph9fa]

Given the following assumptions:
- There are indeed three slots in 2017.
- Marvel continues one sequel each year.
- There will be a GotG 2
- 2019 date is Avengers 3

I anticipate something like this:
2015
- Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Ant Man
2016
- Captain America 3
- Dr. Strange
2017
- Thor 3
- New Property #1
- New Property #2
2018
- Guardians of the Galaxy 2
- New Property #3
2019
- Avengers 3

Where the new properties are (not necessarily in this order):
#1: Captain Marvel
#2: Black Panther
#3: Inhumans

It's possible that one of these (perhaps Inhumans?) will be replaced by a Hulk sequel, or a Widow/Hawkeye teamup, though I sort of doubt the later.

With 4 years between A2 and A3, and with a high likelihood of no RDJ appearance during that time, I fully expect Tony Stark to end up abducted into space by the end of AoU (probably either by Thanos or the Collector).

 

[Flint Marko]

Just looked at some pictures of him ..... he looks like a cross-breed of Ghost Rider and Ultron.

That's a solid description of him. I've only read a handful of stories that featured Dormammu so admittedly I don't know much about the character but he had a pretty unsettling, otherworldly air about him from what I saw. I think that'd be a breathe of fresh air to comic book movies; you could really play around with having a horror movie sort of approach to the film. In the hands of a solid director with a good cast I could see that really taking off.

 

[Primal Slayer]

BP and a female lead movie better be in the plans for either 2016 or 2017, don't be scared Marvel.

Robert Downey talks about returning as Iron Man in a fourth movie. After reading this interview, I get the feeling that he may be considering continuing on for more movies

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

Yes my name will say I'm an Iron Man fan, but I'd totally be up for more Iron Man movies if done right.

 

[DrCosmic]

He mentioned a fourth movie before. Marvel's in an interesting position, RDJ is already nigh-unreplaceable because of his gravitas and consistency, and being first. If they give him 3 to 6 more films, and the requisite 100M+ in backend deals to make that happen, they're going to have more profitable films in the current, but he's going to have defined this part for nearly 20 years and done well, it'd be like hiring someone else to play Wolverine in the Fox X-Men movies alongside Patrick Stewart... or worse, hiring someone else to play old Professor X alongside Hugh Jackman. It doesn't fly so well. He won't be replaceable, not from a marketing perspective.
