Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[JD]

Would be cool if Reed Richards comes up with a way to save their universes from 'merging', but the resultant save is like a gateway connecting them where each universe pulls on another to maintain some type of equilibrium.

Which would leave them their own 'stories', but also the possibility of crossovers. I also personally really REALLY don't want to lose the '50s/60s futureworld' look in the Fantastic Four movie.

Yeah, now that I think about it more, that probably would be a better way to do it. That way they can keep what makes them unique, and they won't have to deal with rewriting the whole history of MCU, and try to deal with how the FF and X-Men being around would have effected what didn't or didn't happen in new universe. We saw how much of a nightmare those kind of retcons can be with things like DC's post Crisis reboot and the New 52.

I wonder if this means Secret Wars will introduce the X-Men as being from another alternate universe, probably the one we saw in The Marvels post credits scene? This makes me wonder if we might see them pull a Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths and end with the MCU, the Fantastic Four's home universe and the X-Men's all mashed up into one new Earth.

Yeah, it really seems like Secret Wars is going to a version of Secret Wars II-- which funnily enough would be the joining of universes that were literally separate entities when the MCU began.

Curious to see this clip at the Worlds of Marvel Restaurant aboard the the Disney Treasure cruise ship, which features Xochitl Gomez, Hailee Steinfeld, and Dominique Thorne:

Noticeably absent is Iman Vellani.

As someone who keeps saying "Marvel has never formally announced Young Avengers," I do find it interesting to see this clip pop up because clearly it's something still on Marvel's mind.

...but this still comes back to the fundamental problem that so many people keep bringing up: By the time a Young Avengers project finally happens, all of them won't be quite so young anymore.

...unless...

...they've secretly already filmed a movie or miniseries and will have a surprise release sometime next year!

...yeah, that's not happening. This is just some fun mock up that took mere hours to produce for a cruise ship and many of the other MCU actors have already done this, too.

Even if we don't get a Young Avengers something, this would at least seem to mean that they have something more planned for the characters. Could America and Cassie show up in Ironheart? Could they have been filming something with them when they did that? It seems like filming this would have been a lot of work for something so short, unless they just took something time out from something else they were already working on.

We might see younger Avengers but not Young Avengers.

It's worth noting that after their initial series, the team was ever only referred to as Avengers, not the Young Avengers.

Not sure if this will have much of an impact on his career, I think that damage is already done at this point.

Hailee Steinfeld is now older than Scarlett Johansson was in Iron Man 2.

He will get a comeback but he will likely have to start with small jobs. No big high profile jobs. Maybe in time if he wins people back over. I suspect, anyways.

It's acting. People often play characters significantly younger or older than they are. On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 42-year-old Paul Wesley is playing James T. Kirk at 27, and 50-year-old Adrian Holmes is playing a Robert April who should be 65 or so at that point in the timeline. Sometimes a parent and child are played by actors of the same generation, and sometimes the parent's actor is the younger of the two.

I think, Eselle Getty was actually a year younger than Bea Arthur - and yet, she played Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy Zbornaks mother. So, yeah, where's the problem?

Alan Ruck played Brian Cox's oldest son in "Succession" even though he's only 10 years younger than him. Yes, these things happen.

And he was pushing 30 when he played teenager Cameron in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

I had to actually look that up because I didn't believe it.

There is only 12 years between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, who played father and son in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

 

[Captaindemotion]

There is only 12 years between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, who played father and son in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

And only 7 between Connery and onscreen son Dustin Hoffman in the film Family Business. Matthew Broderick, Hoffman’s son in the film, is more age appropriate (24 years younger than DH) but now that I think about it, given my comment earlier about Ferris Bueller, perhaps he’s to blame for all this.

Good thing she's not playing herself.

That wasn't the point of my post but whatever.

Is it that aging is weird? Because it is. Cracked.com told me so.
