Rumors a-swirlin':Ghost Rider
JUSTICE FOR NEVELDINE/TAYLOR
― blokes you can't rust (sic), Monday, 8 April 2019 18:53 (five years ago) link
Ghost Rider already appeared in Agents of SHIELD, would they be treating it as a separate continuity then, like DC does with it's TV series and movies?
― Tuomas, Monday, 8 April 2019 20:37 (five years ago) link
That was muscle car Ghost Rider, movie would presumably be original motorcycle Ghost Rider (not horse Ghost Rider, cyber Ghost Rider, ex-ILX poster ghost rider, or other motorcycle Ghost Rider(s)). hth

Oh yeah, I guess I hadn't thought of that. IMO Ghost Rider has always been a rather boring character concept, but I the movie could be a bit more interesting if it featured Johnny Blaze and was a Captain Marvel style period piece set in the '70s, so it could be informed by the interests of that decade (trick motorcyclists, occultism, etc), just like first GR comic was.Having it set in a time period where there are (pretty much) no superheroes would also help alleviate the fact that Ghost Rider feels out of place in the fairly secular MCU (which was already evident in the Agents of SHIELD), as opposed to the comic book Marvel universe, where demons and deities lurk around every every corner.

A question for the nerds: they went through great lengths to show how powerful these heroes are, and how even that was (for a while) no match for a villain like Thanos, who they built up over several movies. So, as they ramp up the next phase of movies, are they going to do it again? Tie everything together around a big villain? What other villains of that stature are there left for the Big Bad grooming? Dr. Doom? They've sort of gone through or repurposed a lot of them already, haven't they? Fantastic Four seems most ripe for material, but a reboot of that under the Disney umbrella also seems a long way away.

It will be very interesting to see what they will do next. The cinematic universe continues, surely it needs some kind of overarching threat if they want to keep matching their big hits of the last couple of years.
There's indeed some likely candidates from the Fantastic Four property. Apart from Doc Doom, planet-eating entity Galactus comes to mind, although they used a version of him in the second Fantastic Four movies.
Or Annihilus: ruler of the negative zone (some sort of alternate dimension parallel universe) who unleashed the destructive Annihilation Wave in Marvel's cosmic comics' major crossover Annihilation. That army might be too similar to Thanos' army though.
It'd be pretty cool if they will use the omnipotent Beyonder or the race of Beyonders, and will head towards some kind of Secret Wars event. There are two different comic book storylines to repurpose for this: the original all-out contest between heroes and villains on a newly created Battleworld and the 2015 apocalyptic clash of multiverses. Both comic book storylines heavily involve Doctor Doom.
― Valentijn, Monday, 29 April 2019 08:32 (five years ago) link
Oh yeah - the introduction of the Skrulls in Captain Marvel also opens up the possibility of the Secret Invasion storyline, wherein Skrull impostors infiltrated the whole world (including every superhero team) to prepare for a worldwide takeover and as soon as it gets started nobody trusts each other anymore.
Another big baddie: Kang the Conqueror (see also: Immortus), but this guy's known for time-traveling and I'm not sure if that's a likely thing for future MCU movies.

We should have a poll thread. I’d vote Beyonder at this point though.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 April 2019 13:16 (five years ago) link
Doom would be the best, but requires a bit of character buildup. Galactus (like Doom and Thanos, a complicated villain) and Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four and whatnot would be awesome, but for some reason I can't see them rebooting that franchise yet again so soon, or at least anytime soon. (Though I suppose Spider-Man successfully did it, so who knows?). The Beyonder ... having just done a giant ensemble piece with most of the marquee names, I'm not sure they can necessarily do that again. At the least the same problem arises, and that there are not enough villains around for the heroes to fight. I suppose it partially depends on who or what they introduce in Galaxy 3, and that is a while off. I don't think I know anything about the movies they have announced so far. who are those characters and what are their big battle storylines?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 29 April 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
Just saw a graphic (not sure if real or not) announcing Phase 4: 15 films, of which 7 or so are fairly explicit sequels/continuations, plus reboots for Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four.

I think we're in for 2-4 years of Strange/Spidey/Marvel/Panther/Ant Man/GotG with a smattering of whatever half-announced movies before anything major or crazy happens. BUT you best believe they'll be seeding teams and threats - namely Fantastic Four or X-Men.

I'm kind of confused by the Ghost Rider news. Why Hulu and not Disney+? I kinda figured they'd start to consolidate their TV shit since, even with the Netflix shows being cancelled, their remaining programs will now be spread across four different networks and streaming platforms. And still with no clear indication that anything beyond the impending Disney+ shows will actually 'matter' wrt the larger MCU.
― Joan Lunden just stole your laptop and I didn't even try to stop her (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 1 May 2019 16:32 (five years ago) link

― Mordy, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 16:44 (five years ago) link
I guess that makes sense. Although now having read the entire article, I'm confused again because apparently the guy who has already portrayed Ghost Rider on a MCU show will be portraying Ghost Rider on another MCU show but...a totally different Ghost Rider than the Ghost Rider he previously portrayed?
Come on, Marvel. Try to remember, you're not DC.

Like Ghost Rider is a demon who rides different hosts. If you wanted to make a show about an all-new, all-different Ghost Rider...look, I'm not going to walk you millionaires all the way through this.

Just throwing out some wild speculation so that I can strut around like a big man on the slim chance that I'm accidentally right: there's not actually a Black Widow film forthcoming. Yes, they're currently filming something which features Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as Black Widow and they've allowed people to believe that it's a Black Widow movie, but because no MCU film beyond Far From Home has been officially announced and because we know what we know about the character in question, I predict some Captain America: Society of Serpents sleight of hand once the official slate drops.
Mods, if I am revealed to be wrong please delete, thx.

Falcon and Bucky are getting their own show (which, if rumors are to be believed, involves a third party vying for the shield) so they're set for a little while.

(A third party new to the MCU but familiar to comics heads and whose ID I'll bet you can guess if you think about it for a minute.)
― John Denver – Led Zeppelin IV (Part II) (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 June 2019 19:04 (four years ago) link
But yes, the fact that they otherwise seem to be shunting the expanded Avengers cast off to their own little Disney+ miniseries for the next little while as they shift their filmic focus elsewhere would seem to lend credence to my theory.

Again, FTR, they're definitely making a movie with Black Widow in it. Location photos have started leaking recently so that isn't in dispute. I'm just questioning whether it's going to be a solo film entitled Black Widow.
Let's be real, there's no variation of this scenario that makes a whole helluva lot of sense from our current vantage, so I'm just spitballin' heah.
― John Denver – Led Zeppelin IV (Part II) (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 June 2019 19:39 (four years ago) link
Eh, since they've now introduced the multiverse to the MCU, nothing's stopping them from doing a Black Widow movie set in an alternate universe where she didn't die. Sure, it sounds like an geeky and seemingly hard-to-market concept, but then again, the same applied to Into the Spider-Verse before it became a hit movie.
