I was watching Dr. Strange yesterday and had forgot that Michael Stuhlbarg is in it. Rachel McAdams, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It’s a shame there’s no Ruffalo solo Hulk film. You’d think they’d have enough confidence in him and the brand at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they'd like to have done one of these at some point, but Universal owning the distribution rights to solo Hulk films threw a wrench into any such plans. Here's Ruffalo with some slightly pointed remarks directed at Universal. Some people were speculating last year that Marvel had acquired those rights, but I'm not sure if there's solid reporting on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Universal was the fly in the ointment and now that Marvel have made Hulk a cripple, it's not likely there will be a solo Hulk movie from here on out. I'm still hopeful that the She-Hulk series will be so tremendous that it will pick up the slack. MCU really should've pulled the trigger on the Leader tease from The Incredible Hulk and paid Tim Blake Nelson tons of money to chew on scenery.

The Natural Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Still one of my favourite MCU moments, the fight sequence on the Rainbow Bridge from Thor: Ragnarok set to Led Zeppelin, Immigrant Song. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Abomination's first appearance since The Incredible Hulk (2008). 13 years. Reminds me of the time between General Ross in that film to Captain America: Civil War (2016), 8 years.

Log Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 By the time Endgame came around, I was having some Marvel burnout. Now, it was my own fault. I spent like a year watching every single youtube video breaking down trailers and theories about what would happen in the movie, etc. I was very happy with the movie, but I was ready for a break. I didn't think I'd get as long of a break as I did, but it was needed for me. I think it was cool following along to the first phases of the MCU because we sort of knew where it was going, but not how we'd get there. Like, we knew it was leading up to war with Thanos and collecting the stones and probably the snap, but I didn't have any idea how they'd pull that all off. I'm excited for more movies now. It's mostly because I have no clue where these next phases are going to go. That's fun to me. Spoiler Now, they're doing things like having Abomination, a character I really didn't think we'd see again, popping up in the Shang Chi trailer of all places. That's cool. It kind of gives me a "nothing is out of bounds" vibe for this next phase. I figure that by the end of this year, we'll have some sort of idea where things are going. We'll have Black Widow, Shang Chi, The Eternals and Spiderman all having been released. I'd have to assume there will be some big things in the post-credit scenes for these movies. I just like being in this time where we just don't know where it's all leading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It was in the trailer. I don't think you need to spoiler it. The bigger wow moment for me in that trailer was seeing, presumably, Fin Fang Foom. Like, I know we've seen a lot of wild shit in these movies, like Ego of all things, but I never thought Fin Fang Foom would be on screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It's also interesting that Abomination appeared to fighting a sorcerer there. I wonder if we'll get any other cameos in the tournament or whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I originally spoilered it because I hadn’t seen confirmation that’s who it was yet, and since it isn’t obvious from the trailer, I thought some people might want to avoid it. That said, I saw some speculation that it looked like Wong fighting him, but some people also thought one of the Eternals was also wrong so, :shrugs:.

Craig H Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Seems as good a place as any to throw in Deadpool, except that then creates the problem of EVERYONE talking more about Deadpool appearing for all of 5 seconds to say something snarking and nothing about the movie itself.

odessasteps Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Fin Fang Foom was in the 90s Iron Man cartoon, so he’s likely not as obscure as us nerds think he is. I mean, he got a toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The toys that have already been released call that dragon the “great protector”. Doesn’t mean it’s NOT Fing Fang Foom either, but there ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Unless there's some kind of rights issue with the name, it would be weird to introduce a giant, Eastern-style dragon in a Marvel universe and not have it be Triple F. Doesn't mean they won't do it, but it'd be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
