Exactly. Why would the MCU ever need to reboot? They'd just continue to tell new stories with new characters within the pre-established continuity. That's like rebooting Star Wars.

Vic2Ree:
I doubt they drop Renner. Chances are he'll be done after the Hawkeye show with Kate Bishop anyway

Do you think Marvel could do something like the movie 1916? Like a war film in one continuous take?

Imagine how cool a Captain America movie would be if it was like that? Or the Invaders

nyarlathotep:
FX dropped some cool trailers today for shows coming to Hulu. I think FX is the unsung hero of the Fox purchase. Some of the greatest content anywhere.

Darkprime:
Speaking to how this success impacts Disney + moving forward, it's interesting to note that Star Wars wasn't even the biggest draw for people prior to the service's launch, but The Mandalorian became the biggest show in the world all the same.

BTW, I am a big fan of The Witcher series too.

I'm taking a break on Monday. Maybe I'll binge it then.

I still need to order Disney +. I can't decide if it's worth it to get the bundle.

Bro, my reply was in response to your logic that billion dollar grossers equates high profit that's why I had to quote you in contradiction. Below is the statement from you.



Disney had a loss in it's third quarter despite having a revenue of $9b+ from six movies (excluding frozen 2, maleficent 2, star wars 9), that's huge. Blaming fox properties and the acquisition of Fox which occurred in March 2019 is ridiculous. Revenues from those movies should have covered up that loss but no it didn't, why? because they didn't make high profits to do so.

I know they're lots of factors to be considered when it comes to profit and loss ish in a company e.g Disney+, expenditures, tax, revenue from subsidiaries, acquisition of properties etc, that I know and understand but with a revenue of $9b+ from six movies, such shouldn't have occurred, the revenue should have covered up or made up for it but they couldn't because they didn't make high profits to do so.

But I'm happy that Disney were able to make Profits in the next quarter, besides Disney has a lot of hit and profitable franchises with them e.g MCU, Star wars, Avatar, Pirates of the Carribean, Frozen, Toy story, Ralph, Croods etc

But one thing we need to understand is that, billion dollar grossing or high grossing doesn't necessarily equate to high profit. When I personally discovered that, I stopped bothering myself on how high a movie grossed or if it grossed billion dollar to what profit did it make in terms of gross and net.

PS: I have no issue with Disney and Marvel, common, why should i? besides Spiderman is my 2nd favorite comic book character after Batman.

They used to. Sold them, but now it's on sale. Honestly it'd be good to have Hulu buy them and put the debt on Hulu. Movies include Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, and many others. It's a good library.

IAmSabrina:
I just noticed that The Licensing Letter updated the retail sales chart:



This is probably the first time Spider-Man is not #1. In merchandise retail sales, Spidey was the leading superhero character worldwide, beating out the Avengers, Superman & Batman.

2017: 1. Spider-Man, 2. Avengers, 3. Batman.
2016: 1. Spider-Man, 2. Avengers, 3. Batman.
2015: 1. Spider-Man, 2. Avengers, 3. Batman.
2014: 1. Spider-Man...
2013: 1. Spider-Man...

I'm all in for the inclusion of minorities but telling us after every LGBT character is cast makes it seems forced like they are doing it to impress people not because they need the person's talent

https://geektyrant.com/news/marvels-dracula-is-now-rumored-to-appear-in-disneys-moon-knight-series

Marvel’s upcoming Moon Knight series seems to be shaping up to be a monster fest, which would be awesome! It’s previously been reported that Werewolf by Night, Bushman, and Stained Glass Scarlett might appear in the series as villains. Now, according to Marvel scooper Daniel Richtman, Dracula is set to appear in the series as well.

Dracula, based on Bram Stoker’s novel, originally debuted in Marvel Comics in 1972’s The Tomb of Dracula #1. The character has changed a lot in the comics over the years. His most recent storyline involved uniting all the world’s vampires and going to war against The Avengers.
Marvel needs to bring that story to the big screen! That would be wild!

Hell yeah! Bring on the drac!

It's a sitcom


"Half classic sitcom (think Dick Van Dyke), half MCU spectacular".

Whoever they get to play Storm.

High time the goddess gets the spotlight

Darkprime:
Steinfeld apparently has a clause in her contract that prevents her from appearing on another streaming service, that could be a hold up too.

Vic2Ree:
It's been a splendid year for both Marvel and DC Comics at the cinemas. Here's hoping for more awesome comic book awesomeness in the coming years

My guess is they want to wait what will happen with Renner in public.

F0REVERB0SS:
The Ms. Marvel show might air before the Hawkeye show:

Nickshrapnel:
Can he do that? It would require a lot of concentration

Minemrys:
i remember s0me tagging me a snyder fanboy when i tried to prove to them that, had M0S or BvS had a marvel studios logo, their rating would've been higher than the final product. S0me here failed to see the actual message, thinking it was s0me pr0m0ti0n for snyder. N0w it's what? Yearz g0ne by. I've always kn0wn of the bias, and it didn't start n0w or with aquaman.
