If it gets X-Men into the MCU, go for it.
Leave Tony alone. In fact, leave all of the Avenger Trilogy alone. No Tony, no Steve, No Thor.
The Avengers have to be recasted eventually.
I'm 100% okay with it happening.
Just make a new Avengers of other, unused super heroes. It doesn't have to stay the same 5 to 6 heroes forever. They have a huge pool to pull from.
The Thunderbolts are quite literally called "The New Avengers"
Three and a half supersoldiers, a lady who can walk through walls, and Superman but with DID, don't quite make a functional Avengers team. Gonna need just a teeny bit more powers diversity in there.
Captain America, Hulk and Thor are basically the same. Just strong guys who hit stuff with other stuff. Be it a shield, a hammer, or another bad-guy.
Captain America: Supersoldier who is also an top-tier tactician
Hulk: Unstoppable green god-level strength rage monster who can also transform into one of the smartest people on Earth
Thor: God-level strength combined with flight and lightning powers, has some familiarity with magic, has Asgardian diplomatic ties
vs.
Red Guardian: Discount Captain America without a shield or extraordinary leadership abilities, but also past his expiration date
Bucky: Discount Captain America with a robot arm and will use guns, no shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities
US Agent: Discount Captain America with a folded taco shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities, in fact it seems like his personality actively causes people to hate him. Also he beheaded a guy on national television.
I mean, I love this team of fuck-ups but they gotta diversify that roster a little if they're going to call themselves Avengers.
They kinda tried that, and it didnt work.
The avengers are a ridiculously large cast of characters in the comics. There are several dozen to choose from (even more if you want to count Young Avengers, West Coast Avengers, etc.
Sure, eventually, but not anytime soon. There are plenty of new characters and there are plenty of characters who pickup the existing titles. Tell stories that exist in the comics, but feel free to adjust, tweak or just make completely new interactions.
6 Avengers movies and a bunch of trilogies seems like it would be the right time to finish their stories and then semi-reboot with fresh faces in familiar roles.
I guess I'd like to see more exploration of new characters before we go back to the familiar roles.
For Iron Man we still haven't seen much of War Machine. We just got introduced to Ironheart. We could bring in Iron Lad.
For Captain America we've handed off to Falcon who is just getting started. Could someone else pick up the title next?
Hawkeye is handing off the title to Kate Bishop.
Spider-Man is still young but maybe we can get live action Miles Morales at some point.
However! (And it's too early to predict this) With DCs Superman we're just getting dropped into an existing universe. If Marvel wants to head into this direction. If we reboot after Secret Wars to a lived in world where everyone already exists.
Then maybe that makes sense.
Well the reboot will be mostly X-Men and the original Avengers from what I can tell.
So the new Captain America and Kate Bishop shouldn't be affected. Tom Holland will also keep being Spider-Man for at least another trilogy.
Secret Wars might make everything that came before redundant so none of this matters.
Recast. Not recasted. And no. Much like DC and the Justice League, Marvel has a huge pantheon of heroes to pull from.
They tried that with Tony and with Steve, Thor they left on the fence. They didn't make it work despite some of the post Endgame catalog being good or better, panicked, and got them back for truckloads of money.
Marvel fans want to see good Marvel films, casual fans want to see good Marvel films with their favorite actors in, it seems. Disney want/need Marvel to be making blockbuster money, over a billion at box office, for most of the big Cinema releases and for that you need the casual fans.
Iron Man will be Bronze Man, Wolverine's adamantium will be recasted with aluminium, the steel dude will go for chrome and vibranium turns into copper thanks to that sweet deal with Ea-Nasir.
Just create something new already
It's gonna be young Xavier all over again.
Feige said. “‘Endgame,’ literally, was about endings. ‘Secret Wars’ is about is about beginnings.”
He surely was misquoted there, but it seems there's hope
i just want two things:
-
the gifted to come back
-
an xmen 2099 series
Isn't that Ibana?
Pfft. DC reboots every 2 minutes so why the hell not.
There was something Levar Burton said after the conclusion of Voyager: (paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact quote) People are tired of Star Trek.
And he was right. We needed a break. And then came Lower Decks.
The point is we're all tired of the same super hero movies. I stopped after Ant Man Quantumania.
We need original stories with interesting plots. Not recycled, rebooted, retooled IP.
Give me Good Will Hunting over Avengers: The Ant World Groot Farm part 4.
