I'd be extremely surprised if they release movies set before previously released ones. A thing that I think the MCU is really good at is having a consistently forward-moving timeline and not forcing the audience to wonder about that kind of subject, it'd be really odd if they broke that with a character as major as Spidey.
Also I don't think it's been mentioned here but the whole "Michael Keaton confirmed" thing is now not true, he won't be involved.

So nice of Jubilee to finally show up in the trailers.

OK, I don't care what anyone says. Tom Holland as Spider-Man is....... MOTHERFUCKING AWESOME!!!! Seriously. Sorry Tobey Maguire but he's better than you. Andrew, sorry things didn't work out with that last film which sucked ass.

They seem to make his moves more dynamic and more realistic with every installment but to be honest, I had high hopes with McGuire and I did have them with Garfield aswell. And I really enjoyed their perfromances in albeit quite good to shitty movies. At this stage I think it would be better to let the Spiderman franchise rest. Although I am really looking forward to his role in this one.

He's fine, whatever.
Can we just please, please not do the origin story again. Marvel has to know how stupid that would be. Right? RIGHT?

But I mean how else are we gonna remember that Teter Barker's nephew Jen got stabbed and told him that with great customer service comes great products at always low prices at Wal-Mart and then Teter got scratched by a radioactive theme park character turning him into Lighter-Pan, a flame-powered version of the peanut butter mascot? See I'm already fuzzy on how it all happened, I need another origin story
Also I can't be the only person finding it impossible to get excited about the new X-Men, right? I liked Future Past a ton and all but god, I can only take so much "The fate of the world is in their hands for real this time" before it just gets pretty stock and exhausting, plus I can't stand how Mystique is just nothing like the character at all anymore. It just looks really boring to me for some reason. One thing that has me interested in Civil War is that the main plot actually isn't "the entire universe will be destroyed if we don't do something" for the dozenth time and instead seems like it's a largely interpersonal conflict instead, which is way more refreshing.

Behold the morning star
I think so. But I wouldnt doubt it. And even though everyone is like no origin stories, people will bitch on how they didnt set him up or something.
Im looking foward to a proper spider man movie.

Well seeing as he's already Spider-Man in this movie, and I highly doubt they would go into his origin in a Captain America movie, I really don't think they would make his standalone film a prequel. Maybe it's wishful thinking.

I forgot how I came to this conclusion but I thought we were nearly certain that it IS a prequel.
Active Member
I haven't heard anything about it being a prequel, someone mentioned it on here I think but it wasn't based on anything as far as I know
BADGERS
The world end plot thing isn't putting me off, otherwise I just simply wouldnt watch super heroes anymore, and I guses I don't know what that says about me.
My lack of usual excitement boils down to a few factors. First and foremost, cyclops, storm and Jean grey played up as hype element for the film, two of my least favorite characters, totally boring, and ground that's been covered enough. They are not exciting.
The new movie brings in elements that I should find exciting, like apocalypse and nightcrawler, but apocalypse execution already seems questionable. I have a creeping suspicion that we basically only get one or two scenes with nightcrawler. It takes place in the 80s, but it doesn't look like we get the Dazzler or much of jubilee.
Wolverine is back... to ham it up I guess...
Depending on whether or not you include Deadpool, we've had about 3 or 4 watchable x men movies in a row, pretty exciting good movies, and so, just based on how these things work, it's about time for them to strike out. It even bears a visual resemble nice to X Men 3.
Well see I guess

Bryan Singer's never made a bad X-Men movie so I'm not worried at all.
Active Member
That's probably (quite likely) just me being mean-spirited but I couldn't help and read that as "Bryan Singer's never made the impressively shitty abominable clusterfuck that is X-Men 3, so there is hope"...
Active Member
You only think that X-3 was bad until you remember that there was a thing called X Men Origins: Wolverine... HOLY CRINGE that movie is a shitshow!

Best part about this is that Steven Lightfoot, one of the major writers on Hannibal, will be show-running this. If he can subvert the "gun porn" expectations that his last show did for serial killer cliches, then I'm all in.

The only thing I've been really hooked on in the MCU is Daredevil and the Punisher arc was so good that I felt the ninja shit in the second half of season 2 suffered because of it so this is the best news possible for me.

One of the producers of Hannibal is involved. Fuck me silly I'm in.

Yeah it should be hot. I'm hoping that Daredevil appears...

Random anecdote time!
When the first Wolverine movie came out, my pal Jack and I went to see its midnight premiere in downtown Chicago. Right before showtime, I ran outside to smoke a joint really quick and noticed a car pull up and a bunch of people taking pictures but didn't really see what was going on otherwise so I just kept walking and smoked my joint.
Then, on my way back in, I finally realized it was Hugh Jackman arriving as a surprise guest to introduce the movie since he was in town for his Oprah interview the next day! I wound up on the escalator next to him and texted Jack to leave our coats in the seats and come to the lobby immediately, without explaining why, and the look on his face when he got to the escalator and saw me hanging out with Wolverine was fucking PRICELESS, lol.
I really WANTED to tell Jackman that we saw the leaked workprint of his piece of shit movie but he was SUCH a nice guy that I couldn't bring myself to say it. He even noticed I reeked of weed, said it smelled like it was good stuff, and joked that he wished I would have passed it his way! So I introduced him to my pal and we all talked about how awesome The Fountain was and Jack even grabbed his ass and got a wink from him when Jackman told him not to worry about being too rough because it was insured, lol.
OMFG if only the movie was HALF as awesome as HE was that night.
Active Member
@Hazekiah is he as sexy in person as I think he is and does he smell as beautiful as I like to believe him to be
Also did he react well about The Fountain; that's my favorite movie and I've always hated how little it's known
Quiet Member
I mean...just look at the guy! Easily one of the sexiest, most gracious, friendly, and charming people I've ever met. Like I said, I wanted to shit-talk his movie to his face SO BAD for having dropped the ball SO HARD, but simply COULD NOT be that big an asshole in his presence.
But, yeah, he smelled great! We actually talked about it because he was fresh off the plane from Australia and was telling us he just barely had enough time to shower before showing up or he wouldn't have come because he stank so bad, lol.
And our chat about The Fountain was hilarious! My pal Jack and I are both huge comic geeks so we watched the leaked workprint of the first Wolverine movie the day before it came out and then followed it up with The Fountain as a palate-cleanser because it was such a clusterfuck abomination of Logan's origin story and just a shitty movie in general. So, having NO IDEA it would actually happen the next day, I asked Jack what he'd say to Hugh Jackman about his Wolverine movie if he had the chance and he said, "I'd tell him I loved him in The Fountain," lol. When I introduced him to him the very first thing I said was, "Oh, Mr. Jackman, this is my friend Jack, and he's a BIG FAN of your Huge Ackman and LOVED YOU in The Fountain," and then Jack almost DIED trying not to laugh his ass off, bwahaha.
Anyway, he couldn't say enough good things about Aronofsky and how much it was maybe his favorite film he'd done and that he would love to work with him again on anything if he had the chance. And he got a REALLY big kick out of me telling him Issue 5 of "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk" had FINALLY come out recently and that I was pretty sure the gag where Logan meets his spirit animal, a panda, they pick a fight with each other, and Wolverine pops his claws only to find out they're made of FLOWERS was ALMOST CERTAINLY inspired by the flower scene in The Fountain, lol.

This is everything I wanted to hear
And it's good you didn't talk shit to him, honestly often the stars like him are the last reason those things happen. He's never been the problem with any of the X-Men movies as far as I'm concerned, and that movie was such a clear case of studio meddling and not giving any invested people creative control. It's always great to hear awesome stories about people like him.
Bored
Agreed 100% And I've never heard one bad thing being told about him either from co-stars or from fans. He genuinely seems like a very nice, decent person.
Thanks for sharing, @Hazekiah !

YES, Civil War is that good. Just below The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy on my top Marvel movies list.

Finally saw Deadpool.
I have one question, when in the timeline of events would Wade have previously met Colossus and have all this knowledge about the X-Men and what not?
