Marvel has mapped out its movie plans up to 2042, studio boss Kevin Feige has said, hinting at a "streamlined, simplified" universe post-Avengers: Secret Wars, a big push for the new X-Men, and plans to eventually unveil a live-action Miles Morales.
I thought this Spider-Man was no longer a joint venture between Marvel and Sony as the contract ended with the last; but I guess they renewed it?
I knew about Doomsday but I am skeptical about that one. For starters, while I love RDJ and what he did as IronMan, I feel bringing him back again is a mistake. They are doing the American thing, milk it until everyone hates it
The second issue I have with Doomsday is that, for the first Avengers movies there was an amazing build up. By the time the Avengers movies came out we already knew and loved the characters so we could understand intuitively the challenge, their capabilities, their shortcomings, etc.
For this one though, I don’t even know who the current Avengers are.
Of course, none of that means Doomsday will be a bad movie (and I really hope it is not); however, Disney has a solid track record of destroying IPs they buy so I am concerned
They’re still playing coy on how much of RDJ we’ll see, everyone is convinced they’ll play hard on the “why do you look like our dear dead buddy” drama.
For the cast, it’s very heavily a send-off for the old Marvel movies, Sony’s old X-Men and Spider-Man (and pretending that the new F4 replace the old F4), that’s the Avengers you may want to see it for - the ones that never made an Avengers team.
For the modern teams, there’s the Black Panther cast, and the Thunderbolts / New Avengerz are great, they were worth their movie and they should be fine here - although they’ll probably be a bit of a filler and red shirt thing, they’ll probably be among the first be killed off to show you how serious this is… Bet low on time to death for Ghost, for one.
