The Rebooted "Keep Hope Alive" (that the rights can revert back to Marvel) Thread - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 24

Spidey was one character. Very simple to adapt to. This is a whole new species of human beings we're talking about, it needs to be much more nuanced. It would definitely be easier to include a nod to the FF but they really need to be smart about how they do it with the X-Men especially with an existing X-Men universe that is still very fresh.

Nah, not hard to mention mutants becoming a "thing".But I hear you, man. You do make some sense, but I truly feel we're getting some kind of nod whether it's FF, mutants, or both.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

Happy for you, Willie!

I've been waiting for this day since the mid-seventies, when I read a note from Stan Lee in Bullpen Bulletins that said they were working on a "Big Budget" FF film.

On one hand, I agree that Feige and the Russos aren't living under a rock, and they had a whole year to have ideas. And Feige always had plans B. So I believe there is a possibility of us getting something.

However, on the other hand, this movie really does seem like a finale. And there's a possibility of some of the big characters being dead or done for good after this movie. With that said, I also believe Feige will want the audience to focus on the feeling of goodbye, rather than getting them excited for the next properties.

I think it's more likely to get some sort of Deadpool cameo/post credit scene than anything else. As much as a hate the idea, the general audience would eat that up. And it gets the job done.

Agreed

Yeah I don't think it's particularly hard to mention Mutants. I mean they could show a hospital with doctors talking about an increasing amount of patients coming it with "unusual ailments", look at some cells and mention mutation. Everyone would get the picture. Lol. I just think they should take some time before they make a nod to mutants at all. The FF has been away for a while so I think it wouldn't definitely make sense to include a nod to them. I'm an X-Men fan before anything so I want them to get the white glove treatment. Lol

 

[Zarex]

It's official! I'm betting we get FF and X-Men nods in Endgame that have already been shot. Disney is well within their rights now.

I think we'll get something.

Mid Credit Scene - Silver Surfer cameo. Nuff' said.

Post Credit Scene - Deadpool holding a blood stained resume sitting with a 'pool' (get it?) of potential Avengers applicants (I'm thinking Captain Ultra, Dr. Druid and U.S. Archer) waiting for an interview. And for those who pooh pooh this idea, please note that I TOTALLY called the Ferris Bueller homage in the Deadpool movie months before the film was released.

I hear that, but at the end of the day this is a franchise business. Every Marvel movie has made some sort of effort to get fans hyped for the next wave or installment. As much as I see this film being a finale, I also see it being a new beginning.

It's Marvel.

Look at how they're promoting Endgame. They aren't showing much.

They can do anything now.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I am not going to say it is impossible, but I don't think it is likely. I think likely the set-up we're getting will be Eternals related or FFH related.

Right. And those actors that are giving their final bows, whomever they may be,definitely deserve that.

Thanks makes the most sense especially since they're connected to Thanos and the audience loved him. They'll be excited to see something that explores his origins somehow.

 

[Lip]

What I'm trying to say is: The Endgame will be a finale for an entire phase. So for Feige, the goodbye of some big characters might be more important now than the ones coming next. Because we're possibly talking about the big faces of this entire universe. It's a big thing.

So maybe the post credit scenes will be related to this goodbye, rather than the upcoming projects.

Or maybe a huge homage to Stan Lee?

They're promoting Endgame that way because the last film grossed over $2B. They know that everyone is going to see the movie. I think you'll be surprised. Or I will be. Someone's getting a surprise.

I'm actually looking at it as this may be an ending for some characters, and I'm sure we'll have time within the context of the film to mourn those characters, but this isn't an ending.

I think Feige will want to leave fans with a feeling of "This isn't an ending, just a beginning" and, "if you think Thanos was tough, wait until you see what's coming".

But those ideas don't have to be expressed with FF or X-Men. Those sentiments could just as easily be shown with Captain Marvel, Dr. Strange, Black Panther etc. so I don't think that concept will either ensure or preclude any suggestion of FF or X-Men. I think that decision will be purely one of how Feige intends to introduce them and if he thinks it's appropriate to hint at that yet.

 

[Web-Head]

Agreed. I know we won't get anything X-Men related though. If, that's a big IF, we get anything, it'll be something Fantastic 4 related or a gag with Deadpool.

I have a feeling it'll be something Eternals related and maybe have a gag at the end with Deadpool

Marvel Studios has always been invested in the future as well as the present. This is their brightest future yet.

 

[Detective Conan]

Having a Deadpool post-credit scene in a serious finale to an era of the MCU like Endgame is just about one the worst ideas ever, and I trust Feige and the Russos to be smart enough storytellers to refrain from such cynical fan pandering. There are upcoming MCU movies like Far From Home where that type of slapstick scene would fit better.

 

[WeaponXCII]

I have a feeling we'll get something. Feige and the Russo's aren't living under rocks. They know what's going on. They know what it means. They know how fans feel.

What we get may be so short it may almost go without notice and it may have no real impact on where we're going from here, but I suspect they'll throw something in there for the simple reason it will be a nod to people like us.

I would be surprised if they haven't already even mapped out something. We know that Feige and Co. have contingency plans for this situation.

And speaking of "how fans feel"... how are you feeling Willie? I'm sure we can all surmise from that first post, but can you put it into words yet?

I'm not really sure it's sunk in for me yet, honestly.

Yeah, while I expect the ending to be a little more upbeat and forward-looking than some might expect, I think Deadpool goes too far.

If they are going to end on a "lighter note" I'd expect something more Ant-Man than Deadpool.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I'd just like to say that whatever happens, it's great that we're finally discussing the real possibility of FF and X-Men getting a nod in the MCU. Before it was our fantasies, now it could actually happen. At the end of the day, anything is possible now in the MCU and I love that.

Feige's not going to leave people weeping leaving the theaters post Endgame. That was Infinity War's job. The film is going to end on a hopeful note and a comedic post credit scene, which they've done for a good chunk of their films, would be well received.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Can they just halt Eternals and start production on MCU Uncanny X-Men?

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I'm walking on air.

And I agree. I think Feige knew two years ago what he would do with these characters and how they might be teased in Endgame if it was possible.

I don't think timing is a limiting factor. I think they have plenty of time to do whatever they want (and have probably already filmed some possibilities). It's all about what Feige wants to do and when he wants to do it.

In other words, if we don't get anything, I don't think it will be because the deal closed too late, but rather because Feige doesn't want to show anything yet.

 

[GoblinScrier]

Willie, feel like you have my F4/Doom partner in crime for years, this is a YUGE DAY for us....beyond pumped to see what the future holds for the cosmic quartet, the Latverian ruler, the Devourer of worlds, and more

I agree that I wouldn't be surprised if they end it on an up-note, but I think Deadpool is too much.
