Your Mads as Doom obsession is bordering on unhealthy.

It would be a great way to introduce him. Hopefully Marvel had a script with Doom in ready to go should they get the rights back from Fox.

I'm willing to bet that they have contingencies for getting the rights to all their characters back, including the X-Men and any associated villains. They were able to shoehorn Spider-Man into the MCU in a matter of seconds after all.

Hmm I am reminded that when I got a free google chromecast rental gift voucher, I hired Ant Man and that is such a brilliant film. The nods to falling cities and avengers were great. Very pleased to hear Ant Man 2 will be coming... in 2018 .

Saw the trailer for the new Captain America film yesterday and not sure what I felt about it. I assumed it was going to be the Civil War story which although I've never read, assumed would contain a lot more characters than just Captain America and Iron Man. I know it is a Captain America film but most of the scenes with both characters in show Iron Man coming off worse, which is a little ridiculous given the powers difference. Disney have not done a good job of the new Star Wars film IMO, hopefully they aren't going to leave me disappointed with this too.

There are a lot more characters in it than just ironman and captain america. However a central point to the story is ironman and cap having a difference of opinion and they end up leading opposing sides.

Ant-Man is in Civil War in 2016 to keep you going.

You're probably right. They would have markers for when certain contracts could potentially/will elapse so they can plan ahead. I've kind of accepted that they'll never get X-Men back now the one comic I used to read and TV show I used to watch and I will have to make do with Bryan Singer's sub par interpretations of the source material

Live-Action Taskmaster Rights Appear To Have Reverted To Marvel Studios

The live action rights to Marvel Comics villain Taskmaster have reverted back to Marvel Studios, sources tell ComicBook.com
The issue arose recently when Deadpool director Tim Miller made a comment about which other characters he’d like to see Wade Wilson battle on screen. Here’s the quote one more time.

“I’d love to see Deadpool fight Batman - no, I’m just kidding, that’s not even in the Marvel family! I’d love to see Deadpool go up against Taskmaster who’s another Marvel total strawberry floatin’ badass. But if I was to stay inside the Fox family, I would like to see him fight X-23, the female Wolverine. The female clone of Wolverine.”

Heroic Hollywood picked up on how Miller’s statement about staying “inside the Fox family” with X-23 implies that Taskmaster is not a part of that family. It’s an interesting implication because at one point Fox did have the rights to Taskmaster, and tried to develop a live action project for him that never quite got off the ground. As HH pointed out, this would seem to unofficially imply that Taskmaster’s rights are no longer with Fox.

ComicBook.com's sources tell us that this is true, and that the Taskmaster rights reverted to Marvel Studios at the same time as the rights to Daredevil.

We’ve previously speculated that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Grant Ward may eventually become the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Taskmaster, but recent events in that show seem to suggest that’s not the case. Could he be used a villain for the Defenders on Netflix instead? Seems like it would be a good fit.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige explains the powers of Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange

Everyone knows Ant-Man can control ants, Iron Man has a flying weapon-suit, and the Hulk is the man to call if you want something smashed. But what powers are possessed by the titular hero of Marvel’s new superhero movie Doctor Strange (out Nov. 4)? In the comic books, this New York-based surgeon-turned sorcerer has a large array of magical assets up his proverbial sleeve and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the same is true of Benedict Cumberbatch’s hero in director Scott Derrickson’s big screen origin story.

“He can do a whole host of things, eventually,” explains Feige, who is also the producer of Doctor Strange. “He does cast spells, which in the comics have very sort of tongue-twisty fun names. We don’t want to shy away from that, because that’s what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange. He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn’t fly like Superman or like Thor. It’s almost got a consciousness of its own, this cloak, which, again, gives us a superhero with a red cape — which we’ve seen a few times — but allows us to do it in a wholly unique and wholly original way. He can create these mandalas of light that he can use as shields and he can use as sort of weapons. He can create portalas that will open before your eyes that he can step through and go to other places around the world. And frankly, even in this film, we’ll only touch upon what a lot of his powers are.”

Strange is also helped by an amulet known as The Eye of Agamotto. “The Cloak of Levitation [and] the Eye of Agamotto are his two signature pieces,” says Feige. “In this film, the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, ‘screw around with time’ — which is part of our story.”

Can someone please remind me of the war machine evolution. Wasn't he war machine first and then he became the iron patriot? If so why is he now war machine again?

He was War Machine again in Avengers 2. Probably a rebrand because of what a disaster Iron Patriot was in Iron Man 3. I don't think I've seen it referenced anywhere at all officially.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Aww I prefer the iron patriot.

[Death's Head]

There are a lot more characters in it than just ironman and captain america. However a central point to the story is ironman and cap having a difference of opinion and they end up leading opposing sides.

I know roughly what it is about, but the trailer only showed Captain America, Iron Man, Bucky, War Machine (I think), Birdman bloke and possibly a glimpse of Hawkeye. BIDO's promotional art shows a few more, but most seem to be out of Avengers or Captain America movies, with perhaps the exception of Black Panther (if that is who the picture is of).

[Corazon de Leon]

Wonder where Spidey will sit in Civil War.

[Cheeky Devlin]

Wonder where Spidey will sit in Civil War.

On a rooftop in a post-credit scene most likely.

I'm fairly sure they confirmed he'd be in the actual film itself, didn't they?

Unless they've been clever with the editing then I don't expect many more characters than that. We don't really have a clue about spidermans involvement. Belief is that it's only right at the end. Ant man is also in. The other u haven't mentioned is peggy carters granddaughter. Can't remember her name. Then of course black widow, Scarlett witch and vision.

[Tragic Magic]

Wasn't Daredevil supposed to be making a cameo as well?

[Skippy]

Most the film's superheroes were in that trailer

- Cap
- Iron Man
- Bucky
- Widow
- War Machine
- Falcon
- Hawkeye
- Scarlet Witch
- Black Panther

Ant-Man, Vision and Spider-Man werent in the trailer

Shouldn't Vision be able to wipe everyone out without breaking a sweat? Or are they gonna handicap him somehow?

[BID0]

I think that's why the Scarlet Witch is on the other side, so he holds back. I think while he might side with Stark, he will see Caps side of the argument as valid too.

Really hoping we see Thor at his full potential too in Ragnarok. The only time we have ever seen him at full power was briefly in the end battle of the original Avengers.

Yeah Vision made it clear in age of ultron that he wasn't Jarvis and that he served the Side that was right, his whole personality implies to me that he should be on caps side. Bit confusing unless he switches sides in the film.
