Hi Kevin @Kevfeige a little bird told me you've burner accounts on here so I'm using this post as the first in a thread detailing how I'd continue the MCU after Secret Wars by prioritizing the new rebooted and recast X-Men who will debut after secret wars & then avengers after...
first things first, Kevin @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios let's get this out of the way: if you begin the rebooted (or rather, in your words Kevin, "reset") x men with the original 5 members of the x men from the year 1963 then I promise you, that film will flop. Start with newer X-Men.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios I know you're going for a youth-oriented approach for MCU X Men @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios so my advice would be to do a live action film adaptation of the now-classic TV show X-Men Evolution as the MCU X Men's film debut. It avoids needing to give each of them an origin...
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios plus it allows for the actors playing them to age over the course of 10-15 years or so. that's what is financially viable, right Feige? And because it's an ensemble, it can ensure the first MCU X Men movie is a teamup which lets sequels be side quests for individual x-men members
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios after giving rogue, gambit, wolverine, storm, jean, scott, jubilee, etc, their own individual movies after their debut in the first MCU X Men movie (a teamup film) @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios then you should reunite them in another teamup movie that'll be this gen's Avengers 2012...
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios Now we got the MCU X-Men established, let's shift our focus to the Young Avengers/Champions assuming they remain their own team and aren't folded into Yelena's New Avengers team or the MCU X Men. If the former is the case they should get a show; no movies. blame it on disney+
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus already there's 2 i would erase after the Secret Wars reset @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios Eli Bradley/Patriot and Cassie Lang/Stature considering there's a Steve Rogers recast coming, I see no reason for Sam Wilson to eventually give the shield to Eli when he could give it to Steve...
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus as for Cassie Lang/Stature, if the rumors are true (and you can confirm this, @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios ) that Ant-Man and Wasp will be recast and replaced by younger versions of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne respectively then I see no profitable reasons for keeping Cassie around...
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios as for Kid Loki, we shouldn't abandon him; actor be damned. A recast after Secret Wars is possible, look what happened to Wiccan, that went well mostly. If i were you, Kevin, I'd keep everyone else. You or whoever is the showrunner for this series can decide their screen times.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios after the young avengers show is finished, if i were you @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios I'd quickly fold Young Avengers/Champions into Yelena's New Avengers team in a New Avengers movie but I'd make sure viewers DON'T need to watch the Young Avengers show first. Keep them separate.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios meanwhile finish up thor's corner of the MCU with a new trilogy or at least a final movie and a final scarlet witch movie that allows for elizabeth olsen to exit the Wanda role gracefully and passing the mantle of the magical side of the MCU to Wiccan. @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios I don't what to do with Bruce Banner. Mark Ruffalo is pushing 60 and Skaar is a solid replacement. Younger and he'll always support other characters' projects to avoid Universal's distribution rights lawyers. If i were you @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios I'd kill bruce banner after sw.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios as for Skaar & she-hulk (assuming you don't kill she-hulk after secret wars too @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios ) you can give them world war hulk, immortal hulk, or really any hulk plotlines that can serve as subplots in other characters' projects much like planet hulk was in ragnarok
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios as for the cosmic storylines of the MCU, I'd keep Monica Rambeau and Ms. Marvel. Let Monica Rambeau be the new Captain Marvel until a Carol Danvers recast can happen because sadly, as much as I like Brie Larson as a fan of hers, she is not connecting with the MCU financially so..
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios Have Sentry be a part of the MCU's cosmic storylines and bring more space marvel characters while you're at it. Reboot the guardians of the galaxy without James gunn, why not? Oh and also include the new fantastic four + silver surfer we got from first steps into these storylines
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios Let's get back down to earth and upgrade Riri Williams (Ironheart) to graduating from both Young Avengers and New Avengers to being a billionaire playgirl philanthropist who runs her own tech corporation on the level of Tony Stark's Stark Industries. We'll call it Riri Industries
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios Picture this: Riri Williams is a billionaire playgirl philanthropist whose secret superhero identity is the famed superheroine Ironheart. The reason she keeps her Ironheart identity secret is because she doesn't want Riri Industries threatened by any of Ironheart's villains.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios by keeping her ironheart identity secret, i mean Riri doesn't reveal she is the woman inside the Ironheart suit because by doing so, Ironheart's villains will know she is Riri and thus threaten Riri Industries and the employees within it. Riri realizes she must protect them.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios this will be a solo Ironheart movie @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios so take notes. in it, one day there's a particular employee who has the fortune (or rather misfortune depending on who you ask) of discovering Ironheart's true identity as Riri. This employee is young goateed Tony Stark
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios You can have young Tony Stark leak Ironheart's identity and regret it or have Riri Williams come out as Ironheart at the beginning of the ironheart movie or more boldly, have Riri Williams come out as Ironheart the same way 2008 Tony Stark did with Riri saying "I am Ironheart"
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios and then, i hope you're reading all this @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios young Tony Stark stands where Riri admits she's Ironheart but he is off to the side with his colleague. He is inspired by Riri coming out as Ironheart to come out as Iron Man either to himself or to that colleague.
@Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @DisneyPlus @DisneyStudios i'll continue this thread tomorrow or whenever i feel like it @Kevfeige @MarvelStudios @Marvel so please stay tuned...#Ironheart #MCU #Marvel #TonyStark #Recast #reboot #KevinFeige #CaptainMarvel #ScarletWitch #Thor #xmen #CaptainAmerica #NeverBackDown #TrainingDay #SheInspiresMe
