zslane Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Kang is pretty awesome as villains go. My only problems with Kang are: (1) you have to add time travel to the MCU, which I would hate, and (2) Thanos is a very tough act to follow unless your name is Galactus.

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Kang definitely is a headache in terms of time travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Kang only becomes a complicating factor if you keep reusing him. If he was handled like most Marvel cinematic villains -- driving threat for one film, eliminated by its end -- he'd be completely doable.

zslane Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Kang isn't very interesting as a villain unless he has the power to mess with the past, and thus alter the present "reality" as viewers understand it. If he is just a far-future dude with immense physical power trying to take down the Avengers (so they can't take him down millenia from now), he's really just another boss fight. But screwing with timelines is the very plot device that nobody in Hollywood gets right. They are better off just avoiding it altogether IMO.

Bazza Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Kang would be good if used to relaunch the MCU for the "next generation". He can go back and mess with the past and make it go in a different way, the same as X-Men used with Days of Future Past erased some of the X-Men film continuity.

Bazza Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Chris Evans has a six picture contract with Marvel Studios that will have one picture left on it after Civil War, http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Avengers-3-Everything-We-Know-About-Infinity-War-71110.html So safe to say CA is going to survive Civil War and appear in one of the two Infinity War films.

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe, might be a zombie or ghost or something in the Avengers movie, but likely not. They do kind of need him to carry the new team as the main big name (I love Falcon and Black Widow but let's be honest, they aren't household names like Cap).

Bazza Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I can't see that it is going to matter. After Civil War there is no real need for the Avengers to show up in any other film. For Phase Three the films are: Captain America: Civil War Doctor Strange Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Untitled Spider-Man film Thor: Ragnarok Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 Black Panther Captain Marvel Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 Inhumans After Civil War the films are all "solo" self-contained films. CapAm 3 seems to fulfil the role that CapAm 2 had, to be the "major events on Earth" film. And looking at Black Panther and Captain Marvel; I'm guessing they will have to have some connections/interactions between the two Infinity War films as well as serving as solo films. Inhumans looks to be the fallout of the Infinity War, similar it seems, to the Inhumanity event series in the comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So safe to say CA is going to survive Civil War and appear in one of the two Infinity War films. Unless, production-wise, Infinity War is one movie, just cut in two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

薔薇語 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I wonder if they will use the Infinity War to kill off most of the characters and end it with the Terragen Mist hitting Earth. The fallout would then be the Inhumans who act as the heads of phase four. La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think Marvel is having so much success with their films so far, they're a bit challenged on what to do next to keep the momentum going. Secret Wars? Fall of the Mutants? Seriously, they're probably dusting off all the big crossover events they've done in the past (like Civil War) to set them up for movie arcs. It seems to be working so far. It about killed comic books in the 90s. The one huge opportunity they screwed up was the Thor story arc with the cask of winters and Malekith, one of the best ever.

Already is the case, sort-of. Both are being films and produced concurrently. Whether they are the same film cut in two, I'm not so sure of to make a definite comment.

megaplayboy Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Dang. How'd Fox get Kang? He's more an Avengers villain than any property they own.Kang first appeared in the FF as Rama Tut. Apparently any character who first appeared in the FF is licensed to Fox(ditto for most mutants and the word "mutant" itself). It's a bummer, yes. That leaves only the Masters of Evil and Korvac on my villain wish list. Oh well, I just thought of a great replacement--Grandmaster. They've already introduced the Collector, and they could even tease the closest thing we'll likely ever see to Avengers/JLA by having Grandmaster pit the Squadron Sinister against them. (Cue the lawsuits!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 The upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse film isn't going to follow the "Age of Apocalypse" comic storyline closely, if at all. Besides which, there are a lot of non X-Men characters in AoA that won't make an appearance thanks to the stupid Marvel/Fox real life "Civil War".
