they just haven't made me care about any of the new "avengers". The Fantastic 4? Meh. Bucky, Falcon, Shuri? Meh. The very old X-Men... without Wolverine... or Deadpool. No Spiderman, No Strange, No Hulk.
Exactly, and then the way they've brought back RDJ, Hemsworth, and Evens feels like desperation rather than good story telling. It has the "Remember all of these guys that you liked when we were making billions over losing money on movies? We're bringing them back!" vibe to it.

I still say going to the multiverse and not giving the franchise a breather after Endgame was a mistake.

not just that... they had to bring chris evans back because of the disaster Mackie made of Cap
as for the old x men...from what I heard..its likely because they are rebooting..so they introduce the older x men here,...then start filtering them out and adding new ones over the next couple movies.

Rumors are circulating that the figure in that scene is not Captain America but Captain Hydra. According to the comics, Dr. Doom cast a spell on Mjölnir to make Captain Hydra appear as Captain America.

I haven't even watched the last Captain America. I did watch the last Black Panther and the only thing I remember is thinking it was horrible.

The Thunderbolts and Gambit were the only parts of this movie that interest me, but I'd much rather watch them in their own movies than this.

Shang-Chi vs Gambit and Mystique were really the only interesting things in that trailer.
Didn't even catch Shang-Chi, but that is another one where I'd just prefer another stand-alone project with him.

The Fantastic 4 stuff is a just a huge buzzkill. Other than Thor and Professor X/Magneto this looks quite underwhelming.

That F4 movie ish-ing the bed really put a damper on any kind of team-up surrounding them in a new Avengers movie.

I’d be lying if I wasn’t excited to see this but still don’t understand why RDJ is playing Doom if there’s no connection to Iron Man.

The connection to Iron Man and that Marvel is panicking due to the way everything of late has performed and trying to go the memberberry route. Remember how much you like RDJ and Chris Evens…" Everything about Doomsday reeks of desperation to me.

I really hope it ends up being good but it's usually not a winning formula if my read is correct.

I mean it get why they did it but it kinda takes me out of the Doom character knowing it’s RDJ. If it was a big name like Viggo it still would’ve been massive. Not asking for Cillian Murphy or anything lol

They shoulda saved Christian Bale for Doom instead of wasting him in Thor 4

or Adam Driver since they were intent on bringing him into the mix...a role where he doesnt have to do any facial acting would have been good for him.
Adam Driver is going to play someone else in the MCU. It's already cast and filming.

Nathaniel Milbury, A lot of fans had wanted him in this role.

Step 1. do the mutant massacre with the Morlocks. Introduce Mr. Sinister

Step 2. Rogue's real back story as a Captain Marvel movie.

Step 3. introduce the new Gambit, make everyone love him, show him unlocking the door to the massacre and all the regret.

Step 4. Profit

I wouldn't bring Captain Marvel into the mix. They don't need another dud. The last one lost big money. They can do something better Rogue than tying her to Captain Marvel.

The other steps. :rockon:
