And a crisis for democracy. That's a really scary thought. RIP Fairness Doctrine.
Sorry - as much as I'd love to see Johnny Storm pal around with Peter Parker and Hulk battle the Thing, I got a bad feeling about this. Nope. Not a fan.
Oh, we'd just would have to have a blast from the past, now won't we?Then they could get Julian McMahon again.

How funny would it be to have Chris Evans' Captain America and Human Torch in a scene together?
This part I don't see happening. Universal (and by extension Comcast) are more interested in investing in properties they can control with no strings attached. That was part of their logic when they purchased DreamWorks Animation for example. They were able to integrate them not just in their film slate, but also their theme parks as well. Comcast is investing a considerable amount of money in the parks, especially with them purchasing over 500 acres near their main park in Orlando to better compete with Walt Disney World (and IMO they are only getting started). They are scaling up considerably on that front. What would not make sense is to try to acquire properties to use that would be problematic to whatever this massive project turns out to be. Granted they already have Marvel at Islands of Adventure, but they can't use those properties elsewhere without Disney signing off on it, which isn't going to happen now. I think Viacom is going to be a more direct target for them in the future since they have several properties that are better fits for them. (notwithstanding the debate of industry consolidation)
Something is going to go down. There is just too many outlets speaking to the matter and agreeing to deal. Read this article the other day.
THAT is what I'm talking about.

Deadpool can literally just pop up anywhere and at anytime in the MCU, and it would just work. Because Deadpool. Fans and movie goers would love it. Marketed correctly, you'd know it was coming but the exact scene where it would happen would be the surprise.

The few minutes of Dr. Strange at the beginning of Ragnarok weren't really necessary for the story, but it's fun to have those characters interacting and it ties everything together.
I always loved the team-ups in the comics because it was fun to throw different personalities together. I'm hoping Marvel continues to give us different character mixes, and having the X-Men and Fantastic Four would give them endless possibilities.
Mixing and matching different characters keeps things fresh. Thor with Hulk has a completely different feel and dynamic than Thor with Captain America, so as long as they continue to do these characters right and shuffle things around, I don't think it will ever get old.
There were so many parts of Thor: Ragnarok that I enjoyed. The Dr. Strange stuff was a very nice touch to also showcase how his skills have improved since the film as well.
That's the overall power of the MCU. To have people cross paths and have a never ending source of situations. Even the Ant-Man/Falcon scene I thought was great, even if it was completely unneeded.
