>Kevin Feige confirms Avengers Secret Wars will lead to a “RESET” of the MCU. Focusing on X-Men but characters like Steve Rogers & Tony Stark could return just recast with new actors.
>>213308610 (OP) the OG avengers cast are still used on toys despite half of them being dead for almost a decade (give or take black panther or captain marvel being thrown in). they want to bring back iron man but dont want to pay RDJ 200 fucking million dollars to do it.
clearly the plan feige had for post endgame flopped so hard they decided to just reset instead of keeping the shitty characters as the leads. its why Kang was canceled, Shang Chi has not been seen since his movie and tons of marvel projects getting canceled.
>>213308671 the real issue is that capeslop just isnt the raze anymore. trends come and go. comic book to motion picture wasnt a thing until x men 2000 and tobeys spider man.

>>213308671 I dont know why the MCU refuses to re cast up until now. every franchise does it as soon as the actor gets picky, quits or wants a shit ton of money. They should have just recasted T'Challa.
>Me, Anon, confirms that no one gives a shit what happens in the MCU anymore.

>>213308671 >the OG avengers cast are still used on toys despite half of them being dead for almost a decade (give or take black panther or captain marvel being thrown in) they put the most popular heroes on those. what do you want them to put the red guardian on the box over hulk?
i for one believe it's time that captain america and others are cast as strong black single mothers

>>213309012 because back then they could just throw tons of money at the actor to say yes. marvel does not have that money anymore because marvel films are no longer guaranteed to make 2x the profit

>>213308610 (OP) In the original Secret Wars (1984) Iron Man is Jim Rhoads not Tony Stark
>>213309012 Iron Man, Captain America and Thor are so defined by their actors now, it's like Wolverine and Jackedman, a cast too soon would piss fans off. Waiting until a decade or more has passed and then recasting them is the right move.
That's why I liked Deadpool and Wolverine. All the jokes about Hugh Jackman being Wolverine until he's 90 and the ending with him saying something along the lines of, "See you in the sequel?" and him just flat out saying no. Until they actually do a sequel, the joke will be in good standing, but I doubt Ryan has the pull, goodwill, or bad sense to even try for another one.

>>213309154 >Iron Man, Captain America and Thor are so defined by their actors now and this is exactly why Dr.Strange has not taken the mantle as the face of the MCU post endgame, marvel does not a repeat of what they are going through now where they have have half the budget to to the main actors because they are so popular and the films will flop without them

>>213308610 (OP) >recast with new actors Unless it's Robert Pattinson and Tom Cruise I don't give a shit.
>>213309221 those are expensive a list actors. they whole point of them doing this is to get cheaper talent also who would Robert Pattinson play in the MCU kek.

>>213309145 Well there's still lots of similarities but The Russo Brothers said they'd only come back if they did Secret Wars (1984). And they already paid the recently dearly departed Jim Shooter. Did he even get a chance to spend the money.
So what's the deal with Captain America? I dont watch these movies. Did he die or quit? He quits in the comics. And is replaced with the Super Patriot guy. So I assume thats what they mean. Although thats not the case in Secret Wars (1984) but still. Although Captain America technically died in Secret Wars (1984) and gets brought back to life. I bet most people don't remember that and think Im mistaken. Its a big technicality.
>>213309256 cap took the time stone to live his life with Peggy in an alternate dimension and he comes back to the MCU, still old so basically retired / probably dead.
>>213309387 Oh ok interesting thanks. Super-Patriot is John Walker aka U.S. Agent. So I dont know if the movies or tv shows have done anything with that yet. And then they bring back Bucky to join him and make him black. John Walker already knew him and worked with him.
>>213309468 >John Walker aka U.S. Agent. a tv series and movie covers thius
US Agent (Falcon and Winter Soilder TV series) does become the new CA but is fired after he killed someone in cold blood, Sam Wilson (Falcon) becomes the new CA, Bucky became a congressman and joined the "new avengers" (thunderbolts) which is a rag tag team of anti hero's, like John walker, ghost, nu black widow.
>>213310312 NTA but I will be ignoring it just like I've ignored all of them since Endgame. Not sure why you think people will suddenly start caring for Doomsday when it's been nothing but flops leading up to it

>>213308610 (OP) In hindsight getting rid of Steve, Tony, and Nat was retarded. They should’ve just shelved the characters and let the actors return when they’re ready.
>>213310680 They should planned around strengthening the core lineup beyond the original 6. Bringing in Antman, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man for a complete team.
