As long as they are making money, there are always more phases. I still think there is a good chance cap gets killed in Infinity War. And Bucky could take over then, and be much cheaper than Chris Evans will likely be moving forward.
Spoiler Yes. No. There will likely be at least 4 phases unless Disney decides to stop printing money.
Thread title clearly says Captain America 3 and it is common knowledge that it has been released across the US. I can see spoiler tags on opening night or even opening weekend, but one has to expect after opening weekend there will be discussion on the movie without tags.
i don't buy that. After a month or so, maybe, but i think it's a best practice to use them for a while. Some times I hop into movie threads a week or two after just to see what reactions are to the film...not people giving away everything in the movie.
You don't buy that people will not post spoilers about a movie after opening weekend in a thread about that movie? There are at least 10 times in this thread doing that. Whether it is best practice or not, it is what happens. I felt as you did many years ago, but quickly realized that unless there is 100% agreement...it isn't going to happen. I have placed spoiler tags on my posts. I'll use the tags here on out until I see another spoiler. I expect not to be using tags by the end of the day.
I've learned my lesson; I no longer do this. People can't be trusted to spoiler anything, even if it's a legitimate spoiler that's somehow come out before the movie/show has been released. In short, people suck. So my advice is to stay out of movie threads once it has come out if you hope to avoid spoilers, and to browse with caution the last few days before it does comes out. I'll spoiler my spoilery stuff but at this point if I don't and someone reads it here in this thread, I wouldn't feel sorry about it.
So back to the movie... Disney's original plan is for 3 phases that goes back to the early 2000s yeah? And with the actors getting older and more expensive (RDH, Chris Evans, etc.), I wonder what Phase 4 will look like if they decide to go on. Eventually I see a collaboration with the X-Men dudes, especially once they replace Hugh Jackman for someone less pretty and more caveman-like.
Seems to me like they'll have Spiderman, Black Panther, and the next Captain America (either Bucky or Sam Wilson/Falcon) leading the next phase. RDJ might be around still for cameos, but I don't think Iron Man will be nearly as prominent as he is now. As far as getting X-Men involved in the MCU, I have my doubts. I've read that the Spiderman transition happened simply because Marvel/Disney's relationship with Sony is/was waaaayyy better than their relationship with Fox. I hope it happens, but I am not holding my breath.
Yeah, I think getting Spider-Man was huge for them, and he's gonna be one of the foundation characters for Marvel in their team up movies. They have a Captain Marvel solo movie scheduled. Plus Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. Not to mention they can just re-use one of the Iron Man suits for a new character, and I don't think the Hulk is off the table either, it's a pretty plush gig for Mark Ruffalo. They can also bring the GOTG into the equation. They've proven they can make big stars out of lesser known characters. The important part is to keep momentum so the hand off is smooth and they don't just abruptly go from old avengers to new avengers, and I think they're doing that already.
How is it fixed? Spoiler Tony seemed relatively disgusted with the email. There's basically 2 completely different teams of Avengers, and half of them are fugitives. War Machine can barely stand up, and Bucky is on ice. (Not to mention, still being hunted)
If you don't want to be spoiled then avoid a thread named Captain America 3 on opening weekend (week). It's like walking into a strip club and PRAYING you don't see boobs. "for goodness sakes put away the t*tties!!
I mean, there's going to be more than just 4 phases unless somehow people stop being interested in these movies before/after Infinity War. Spider-man, Black Panther, Dr. Strange are not going anywhere, Captain Marvel will be out by then. Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) has like 6 more movies on his deal after this one. They're already in talks for Guardians 3 which will undoubtedly be after phase 3 is over. They've made it fairly clear Black Widow is going to get a solo movie. (I'm guessing after this phase also) Other than Widow, that's completely ignoring the current Avengers roster. Also, Downey has recently hinted he might be okay with Iron Man 4. Evans previously implied he was done acting in movies and would only direct after Infinity War was over, but also recently has made it seem like he wants to keep going as well. As for the plans to kill Cap and have Bucky take up the mantle. I honestly thought they would kill Cap after Civil War. I think a lot of major characters will be dying during Infinity War, and likely be resurrected by the Infinity Gauntlet later. I think Cap is a good one to keep an eye on, since his death would seriously rally other heroes. Not to mention, who would be more fitting to give the ultimate sacrifice?
BvS had Lex acting like the Joker. It was painful to watch - a total waste of a great character. In BvS Batman wanted Superman to accept responsibility for the collateral damage his battle against General Zod caused amongst the innocents who lost their lives. He wanted him to understand what it meant to human and mortal and not just act above it all because he was an alien. That was the driving force behind their conflict although it was clumsily handled and poorly resolved at the end. In Civil War the primary fracture is in the relationship between Cap & Stark over accepting the same responsibility as in BvS. Stark and Cap fall on different sides of the issue which forces the Avengers to take sides. But the Russos go one step further and add a personal element to their conflict which elevates this film over the simplistic approaches used in BvS. There are no winners in the end and while the external threat of Thanos may force them to unite against a greater evil in Infinity War, things will never be the same for Tony, Cap and the Avengers.
No, I totally buy that people will do it, I just don't think they should. Try to have some consideration for people that may not rush out to see a movie is all. totally agree, I began doing the same. Hell, I don't even watch trailers after the first or second official one. I didn't even know any of the trailers included spiderman until after the fact I'm just glad I was actually able to see this one opening day
I like the fact that Tony and Steve will always have that invisible wall between them from here on out. Like at any given moment, one of them can just denounce the other and start another band. And when Thanos comes they'll be forced to team up and pretend to be friends, professionally. Then when the bad guy is defeated and if they're still alive, they'll hate each other again.
Spoiler Yeah, I think people are really glossing over what happened to WarMachine. That's basically like if Cap saw Bucky get paralyzed by Vision -- probably wouldn't go over too well. Plus he likely blames Cap for that too somehow, simply because if he had just let it go they would have never fought in the first place. That's the type of dude Tony is. If anything I'd absolutely say they didn't leave the ending cut and dry.
I loved the ending in that basically.... Spoiler Zemo won. The villain in this superhero movie ultimately won. His plan to break apart the Avengers happened. That's something you don't see often, especially in this kind of genre.
I didn't think of it that way, that's a really great point. I feel there's a lot of complexity there for this movie if you really stop and think about it. The people claiming there was no plot, or trying to say BvS was "better", or made more sense just make me want to laugh.
The movie steered far from the comic books as they focused more on the bromance with cap and Bucky. in the comics it was suppose to be a lot superhero picking sides and the civil war broke up the fantastic 4.
