She-Hulk, Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel Heading For The Big Screen As Well As The Small One

That really would kill the franchise.

True, no-one would want to see Peter Parker getting nuked. (Poster I made)

I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one to think this is a good thing. You actually want to get MORE Marvel characters on the screen, do it. Now that all the stars have aligned between all the franchises it's time to consolidate the universes. As big a fan I am with DCputting out as many of their characters on the big and small screens as possible, I'm not a big fan of their ridiculous separate universes. If Marvel can successfully tie everything in and avoid a similar clusterfook then they can open the floodgates and have all the characters interact with each other like most of us fanboys are drooling for. I don't understand how you cannot like this. Sure, I know a lot of people are nervous about how they're gonna tie everything together with a nice little bow, but I think Feige has been pretty much up to the task at this point. If this Eternals thing work out, I'm guessing they are gonna leave it kinda open ended where just about anything can pop into the MCU without need for much retcon. I'm halfway certain the reason Doctor Strange has been delayed is to get this whole multiverse thing pulled together as well.I'm far more worried about the former Star Wars dynasty than the MCU. I don't think even Feige has the ability to get that thing off life support. Righting a sinking ship is much harder than staying course with a sailing ship.

Exactly! Even the Hulk movie gave us an origin montage. Still, Spidey was a different animal altogether. I still wonder if one the stipulations for the House of Mouse getting to use him at all was that Sony would get to do the origin themselves.

As long as it's not based on Chapter One

If everyone told the story in the same way, you'd be right . . . maybe. But look at everything that's changed with the MCU's Spider-Man. How did he end up with Aunt Hottie and Uncle Ben? How did he get his powers? How did he learn to use his powers? How did he get his Web-Spinners? What put him on Stark's radar? What happened to Uncle Ben? How did he get into Genius School?

I get it, detailed storytelling went out with the MTV generation, and even if it hadn't, we're dealing with a company that considers the Big Thorbowski storytelling. Unfortunately, I need more than just "This is Spider-Man, he's strong and sticks to stuff. Now let's go to Venice and save the world."

I get your point. But the basics would probably be the same, Peter gets bitten by a spider, gets powers and then Uncle Ben dies and Peter becomes a hero. Still some more details would be nice, especially as the MCU so far have larger avoided even mentioning Uncle Ben

I think you have to do the origin story. That goes double if you plan on making sweeping changes to established characters like the MCU/Sony did with Spider-Man. If you don't know how your character got where they are, how are you supposed to care?

It depends on the character, Spider-man doesn't need his origin told over and over again, because everyone knows it same with Batman and Superman. There are only a certain number of times we need to see Uncle Ben or Bruce's parents getting killed

All these news about new shows get me exited. Then I start thinking about Marvel Legends following the shows and I get really excited.

These are truly great times for Marvel.

Agree...what I'm saying is sometimes they prolong the origin story or unnecessarily redo it in the movies (Spider-Man - Andrew Garfield)...compared to the Spider-Man homecoming which was handled really well...lets wait and see how all thing fit in

I would like to see an origin story for the She Hulk, with a Bruce Banner and Hulk cameo.

I was thinking this would for sure be the direction, the new shows of course will all tie into the movies with these new characters, they are intergral for the new phases going forward so none of this seems like a surprise, and of course I'd go with the notion you all are that the shows will introduce and establish these characters so that we can be informed and interested prior to their big screen appearances, I'm very excited to see how all of this is going to go with the Disney+ shows and the movies going forward it seems a tiny bit risky, I'm worried the MCU could see its downfall potentially with people feeling alienated who don't watch the shows and only go to the big screen, plus with so many characters people who are only wayside fans have no real interest in, it's going to be interesting to see how all of this works out for the future of MCU

this is good news for if and when daredevil comes back
