Podcasts about Secret Avengers

Marvel just delayed Doomsday and Secret Wars by 7 months—but is that the full story? Eric breaks down why this delay feels like the beginning of something bigger, including a compelling theory from Colton Ogburn (ScreenCrush) that suggests we could be getting a third Avengers film—possibly Secret Avengers—before the saga's finale. Is Marvel slow-rolling the real Multiverse shake-up? Is a stronger middle chapter being built before Secret Wars? Let's talk about what's really going on with the Avengers timeline—and what this could mean for the MCU's future.

SHANG-CHI: Greetings, doctor. D: I'd tell you to make yourself comfortable, but it seems you've already done that.  SC: Comfort is a luxury seldom offered, and even more rarely accepted. Forgive me if this ironically makes you uncomfortable. D: No, it's fine. We don't have a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign out front for a reason. This is a place for calm and peace.  SC: I am sure you mean well, and truly believe that. But sadly, Doctor, wherever I go, chaos follows me like a tail attached to a cat, and I am certain this office will be no different. D: That must be difficult to deal with.  SC: I long ago accepted my fate. My father's influence is far-reaching, and even without him, there are many who would seek to usurp the title of Master of Kung-Fu. Even as I agreed to meet with you, I pondered whether there was a chance this was a trap for a sneak attack. D: I'm certainly glad you trusted me enough to come here, for what it's worth. What made you finally agree?  SC: I spoke to some trusted associates who have been clients of yours. Their experience and faith in you was enough to convince me.  D: So now that you're here, what do you want to discuss? SC: At this point in my life, I am trying to transition my path to one of less fighting. However, as I said, so much of what I do involves martial arts that this seems impossible.  D: No forks in the road. That's one way to look at it. I'll pause on that because I see on your face that there is more to it. SC: I know that you think I am being blind to other options, but it is not as you say. I have taken service jobs. I have been a teacher of the craft. I do not wish to abandon all that I know for the sake of comfort. And still...something haunts me. Other noble heroes invite me. If I am not asked first, then I am chosen as a consequence. I am thankful that I have survived so far, and I do not fear death. But there is this pestering essence that the world does not accept me as I am. D: That's...heavy. It's rare that I'm taken aback by someone due to their eloquence. I have to admit, I got lost in it! SC: Forgive me if I am rude, but your statement itself is an example of it. D: I'm still lost. SC: You said I speak well. D: *pause* OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY I DID THAT I'VE HAD IT DONE TO ME I AM AN IDIOT I WOULD NEVER MEAN TO DO THAT ON PURPOSE I  SC: *laughs* Your chi is genuine. But do you realize how common that is, how through no forethought, we are verbally sparring? I know that is how it will be for the rest of my life. At least, that's how I perceive it. D: Perception is reality. I won't hide my mistakes, and I'm thankful for your latitude. But that tells me your experiences have been way more hostile than a random faux pas. SC: You have quickly redeemed yourself. Yes, there are blatant examples that happen. How am I supposed to grant grace to those who don't do the same? Unfortunately, my father did me no favors. I carried a similar yoke of disdain across my shoulders for those I only knew through his eyes. I am grateful for my enlightenment so many years ago as a young man. But I feel those same shackles weighing down those around me when they see me, not knowing what to make of me, what to say, fearful or angry and not even understanding why. D: It's not your - or anyone's - singular purpose to enlighten every individual. You'll make yourself feel worse that way. Focus on the successes, be they one or one million. SC: You know, it's not just the common man. I was chosen by the Phoenix Force once. I fought Captain America. I had proven myself ...but because I showed grace, I was eliminated by Phoenix itself. Still...I would make that decision again. D: A worthwhile and rigorous process is the true path, regardless of the outcome. Thank you for reminding me of what my own Attendings taught me. But using a great thought process, even when all emotions say to ignore it, that's true mastery. SC: It is fair to say we understand one another so far.  D: Oh believe me, it's hard for me to keep my chill when someone calls me a SC: *cuts him off* Wait. D: What? SC: Something is amiss. D: I don't -  SC: Silence. *beat* Get down. *glass shatters* ASSASSIN LEADER: SHANG-CHI! THE WHITE DRAGON CALLS FOR YOUR DEATH! D: Who's the White Dragon? SC: *fighting sounds throughout* Unclear. There have been several with that name. I watched the last one die. Beheaded by my brother. It seems someone new has taken up the mantle.  D: And I thought my family was difficult to deal with… SC: *to fighters* You all fight well, but in service to a madman. There will be no shame in submitting now. I promise this. But continue to fight me, and you and your master will suffer great pain. AL: You will join us, Shang-Chi, or die. Either way, the White Dragon Clan will be victorious! SC: There is no victory in your falsehoods.  D: But there will be a huge insurance claim coming your way! AL: The doctor is of no consequence! Subdue him or kill him, it is of little matter. D: I'M OUT! SC: *more fighting sounds, tapering off* there is no need, doctor. D: You...just took down a hit squad, while conversing at the same level as your original discourse with me…*random movement sounds* AND YOU'RE FIXING THE ROOM?!!! SC: I have brought pain and despair to your office. For this, I must apologize. D: Ok, first off, if we are going to have sessions together, do not apologize for saving my life.  Second, if it weren't insulting to a man of your stature *whispers* and I could afford it *normal* I would hire you as my bodyguard on sight. SC: Or, I could teach you, in exchange for your psychiatric services. Bartering at it's finest. D: “The Way of The Issues…” I'm sold!

Topic: Falcon & The Winter Soldier Tutorial     We begin our Discussion on the Newest Marvel Show, Falcon & The Winter Soldier, which is our newest Marvel series.  Does it live up to Wanda Vision, check out next episode to find out.     Who is The Falcon?   Comic History First introduced in 1969, Samuel Wilson was rescued by Steve Rogers, Captain America, from a Caribbean island where the Red Skull had planned on experimenting on Sam.  After fighting the Red Skull, Sam would go on to continue working with Captain America.  It was during this first outing that he was given the power to telepathically communicate with Birds, especially a falcon her name Redwing, but the Red Skull and a Cosmic Cube.  It wasn't until 5 years later that he was given a pair of wings by Black Panther that allowed him to fly.   Falcon remained a loyal partner to Steve Roger, even helping train his replacements during time in which Steve stepped down as Captain America.  During this time, Falcon learned to command other birds beyond Redwing, and became capable of command multiple types of birds.  Falcon was also of the people to Steve Roger's Secret Avengers, opposing the Super-Human Registration Act, the main catalyst of the Civil War in the comics.    A major turning point in the character came in 2014, when Steve Roger has his Super Soldier serum neutralized, causing him to rapidly age to the age of 90.  Without the power of the serum, same passed on the shield and mantle of Captain America to the Falcon.  Falcon would go on to act as Captain America, utilizing the wings of Falcon and the Shield of Captain America.  His numerous adventures led to a new Avengers team, along with for a time, leaving SHIELD due to their work on a New Cosmic Cube.    SHIELD would eventually make their new Comic Cube, which took on the vestige of a young girl named Kobik.  During these eventually the original Captain America was dying, but Kobik revitalized Steve Rogers, allowing him to retake the title of Captain America.  This version of Steve Rogers however was a fascist version that was actually a sleeper agent for Hydra.  While Falcon's faith in American Government had wavered, he return the title of Captain America to Steve Rogers(Fascist), and departed the country to help elsewhere.    Upon Falcon's return, he learned that Steve Rogers(F) had taken up the mantle as the leader of Hydra.  Falcon returned to being Captain America once again, and assisted the Avengers in rebuilding the Cosmic Cube to help Kobik, who actually had the real Steve Rogers inside her.  Completing the Cube, freed Steve Rogers, and allowed him to beat the Steve Rogers(F).  Understanding that Steve Rogers could do more benefit as Captain American than he could, he returned the Mantle of Steve Roger, and returned to being just the Falcon.  Falcon, then working for a Veteran's Assistance group came across Bucky Barnes, and aided him in helping find soldiers that had gone missing.     Powers Avian Telepathy – Ability to communicate and commands birds. Master Martial Artist – After having trained with Steve Rogers, Falcon became a proficient fighter in various fighting styles and forms. Peak Human Condition – Including peak strength and endurance. Master Aerialist – As a flying hero, he is an amazing fighter in the air, some would say better than Ironman or Captain Marvel. Falcon Wings – A Set of Wakandan created Wings that give Falcon the power of flight. Captain America Shield + Uniform – Former     MCU Version The MCU version of Falcon Finds him as a former Rescue Paratrooper, who upon returning home find himself working the VA until he volunteers to help Steve Rogers during the events of Winter Soldier Movie.  He continues as an Avenger post Age of Ultron, and is the first to be on Steve Rogers side during the events of Civil War.  He is snapped out of existence at the end of Infinity War, only to return at end of Endgame.       Who is The Winter Soldier?   Comic History First introduced in 1940 as the young sidekick of Steve Rogers as Captain America, the James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes was the Teenage hero working alongside Steve Rogers during World War II.  Toward the end of the war in 1945, Captain America and Bucky were on the hunt for a bad guy, then the plane they were on was plummeting in to the Atlantic Ocean.  Both men attempted to escape, but Bucky's costume was snagged on the plan upon exiting, causing the plan to crash in to the ocean and for him to be presumed dead.  Captain America attempted to save his companion, but was sent into suspended animation, being frozen in the waters of the Atlantic.   In 1946, the Soviets were attempting to find Captain America, instead found Bucky, who had survived the crash, but who had lost his left arm and put in to a similar suspended animation like this mentor.  Though at the peak of human conditioning due to working and training alongside Captain America, Bucky survived and was reprogrammed by the Soviets to become their personal Assassin, the Winter Soldier.    As the Winter Soldier, he carried out the bulk of secret, and famous, Assassinations across the world for many years.  His left arm replaced with a new cybernetic arm when ever advancements in technology would allow.  He would at one point become the teacher and trainer for a young Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, while she training.  They two developed a romantic relationship, but after a failed assassination mission, Bucky was deemed too unstable, and his mind was wiped after each mission, and placed in Suspended Animation until a mission was needed.   During an event in 2004, where the Winter Soldier was activated to steal the Red Skull's new Cosmic Cube, he met and fought with Captain America, who later learned that the Winter Soldier had been his best friend this entire time.  Using the power of the newly created Cosmic Cube, Captain America restored Bucky's memories, but the sudden rush of emotions and remorse over the life he had led caused Bucky to destroy the newly created Cosmic Cube, transporting him elsewhere in the process.    For the next few years, Bucky began hunting his captors, eliminating them and becoming a SHIELD secret agent for Nick Fury.  Following the Events of Civil War, Bucky blamed Tony Stark and Red Skull for killing Steve Rogers.  Bucky would eventually confront both men, but lost to the Red Skull.  And when confronting Tony Stark, Stark passed along Steve Roger's final wish for Bucky, that he save Bucky from his decent to violence and madness.  Tony Stark believing the best way to do this, was for Bucky to become the New Captain America. Bucky accepted, but wanted the mental implants removed, and that he answered to no one, not SHIELD or Tony Stark.   For the next few years, Bucky acted as Captain America, eventually winning over the Avengers and the US Government, on his way to reforming his life; he even rekindled his romance with Black Widow.  Even when Steve Rogers was revived and was capable of taking back the mantle of Captain America, he continued to let Bucky carry on the title, believing that he was the better individual to carry on that legacy, and that the world didn't need Two Captain Americas.    During the Fear Itself event, a villain powered by a similar Hammer to Thor's beat Bucky to within an inch of his life during an attack on Washington DC, saved by a Nick Fury and his ‘Infinity Formula'.  Steve Rogers took back up the mantle of Captain America after his friend seemingly thought dead, with Bucky believing it was better that he return to his Winter Soldier title instead.  Winter Soldier would continue to work behind the scene of super heroics, though seemingly out of the picture for a majority of the major events.    Bucky was a part of the team that went in to a Villains prison, in order to rescue the newly created Cosmic Cube, Kobik, and was seemingly there when Steve Rogers (F), was revived.  Years later, upon learning that the revived Steve Rogers was actually a Fascist version, he worked along side the Avengers to find the real Steve Rogers.  After helping complete the cube, he shrunk down in size with Ant Man and rescued the real Steve Rogers from the cube.     Powers Master Martial Artist – After having trained with Steve Rogers, Falcon became a proficient fighter in various fighting styles and forms. Peak Human Condition – Including peak strength and endurance. Infinity Formula – a diluted version of the Elixir of Life, it slows down the aging process and seemingly give the user peak physical conditions.  However, unlike Steve Roger's Super Soldier Serum, this Formula must be taken regularly once a year in order to stay in peak condition.  Prior to receiving it, Bucky had already been at Peak Human Condition, which only added to his skills. Cybernetic Arm – Replacing his missing left arm that was lost during World War II, his arm is improved with new technology over the years.     MCU Version The MCU Version follows very similar to Comics, aging up Bucky to be a similar age to Steve Rogers during World War II.  Bucky, unlike his Comics version, did receive an experimental version of the Super Soldier Serum, turning him into a Super Soldier in the process, though seemingly not to the point that it was noticeable by others.  Rather than being lost in the Ocean similar to Steve Rogers, he was instead lost over a ravine, only to be rescued by Hydra and turned in to the Winter Soldier.  Following the event of the Winter Soldier, Bucky left Hydra and began seeking out who he was, only to be blamed for an attack on Wakanda leader, King T'Chaka.  During the events of Civil War, Steve Roger protected Bucky, as he realized Bucky wasn't the enemy, only doing the bidding of programming by Hydra agents.  Bucky lost his initial cybernetic arm, but was rescued by Steve Rogers, who escaped to Wakanda with the help of the Black Panther.  While in Wakanda, he was deprogrammed and the mental implants were removed.  During the events of Infinity War, he aided Steve Rogers and other heroes in protecting Vision while the Mind Stone was being removed, receiving a new Vibranium Arm to replace his lost cybernetic arm.  He was snapped Away by Thanos, just like the Falcon, but returned during the Events of Endgame.     Cosmic Cube Cosmic Cubes are cube objects that allow for reality manipulation, control over matter and energy, and basically answers to the sentient being owning them, often being considered omni-wish granting devices.  Their creation is generally a well guarded secret and very difficult, but by opening up a portal to a universe inhabited by ‘Beyonders', you can suck out some of the energy in that universe and contain it in a cube.    The Cosmic Cube typically get created and wielded by individuals without any spectacular super powers, like the Red Skull.  They're a common source of conflict within Captain America stories, as they're the common focus and creation by those seeking more power.  While on a similar level to Infinity Stones, they're not nearly as powerful and omnipotent, as they can't effect time or the soul.    In the MCU, the Tesseract was considered a Cosmic Cube, before it was determined that it was the Space Stone in hiding.      Where are we at in the Marvel Timeline? Prior to the Events of Endgame, half of all life in the universe was snapped away, both Sam and Bucky included.  While Endgame only shows a tiny bit of the life returning to normal, Bucky went on to work with the US Government as a deep cover agent, working to root out Hydra agents, and trying to make amends for the damage he did.  Falcon continued working alongside the Military, continuing his work as an Avenger.    As a part of re-intergrating those lost by the Snap, and returned during the Blip, the Global Repatriation Council was created to aid those returning from the Blip.  As a part of their work, they reinstated country boundaries and aimed to return those snapped away back to their old lives.  However, any refugees from other countries ended up buying or moving in to new homes and places left behind by those who were Snapped away, and upon the return of original owners, many of those refugees were forcibly removed by the owner or local governments from their new homes, and placed into resettlement camps.  Many in these camps resent the GRC, as they are poor infrastructure and lack of supplies necessary for those that were displaced.  As of recent the GRC, in an effort to return to the world of 5 years prior to the snap, has begun implementing deportation for refugees to their original countries of origin, which has only increased anger and tensions of the Refugees.

D: I'm afraid we're going to have to go through a bit of an introductory period. Normally I get a file on my patients before I meet with them, but yours was almost entirely redacted. N: That's just how it is in my line of work. D: That's fair, but I've worked with your colleagues before, and I've never seen anything quite like this. It's like the whole thing was covered in black Sharpie. N: Some of my employers would kill both of us if they even knew I was speaking with you. Frankly this conversation is more dangerous than most. D: In that case I appreciate you speaking with me. And be sure to know I take all the necessary precautions for my own safety, as well as the confidentiality of my clients. N: No offense, doc, but that won't stop some of the more… unsavory characters I've dealt with. They've come at me in Avengers Mansion, I don't think this office will hold them. D: Sad to say, but I've dealt with worse. So we'll deal with that threat if and when it comes. Let's get back to you. What can we accomplish today? N: Probably less than what I would want out of this. D: How so? N: This is going to be the type of scenario where I don't say names, I only give hints. If you are sharp enough to follow my lead, then maybe I can learn something from you.  D: Way more nebulous than I imagined. Usually when people do that, I think they're demonstrating paranoia.  N: Is it really paranoia when you know people are truly after you? D: But the fight, flight, or freeze phenomenon doesn't turn itself on and off like a switch if you've exhausted yourself in that vigilant state for too long. Plus, it makes it difficult for anyone to get to know you. N: Thank you for stating the obvious. No, really, thank you. People don't understand that it's inherent in what I do. I didn't sign up for this life. I was bred for it. D: Maybe that's true, but N: *interrupting, clearly upset* No maybes about it! I can't say that much about such things but...think about how organized different agencies can be, especially under authoritarian rule. D: Got it. Sorry to cast any doubt to your experience. I'm thankful that you're keeping the conversation on track. Is it fair to ask, then, how being so harshly molded at a young age influences you now? Any nightmares or flashbacks to those events? N: I've learned to regulate my physiology just fine.  D: How about the emotional content, then?  N: I have all of the...expected emotions. D: Interesting choice of words. I'm not familiar with what would be considered “expected” because that's such a wide range. Anger? Sadness? Fear? N: *pause* All of it. D: Then you have lots of possibilities to work with N: More than that though. Relief, Joy, Pain...I know you're really a doctor because you just went for what's considered negative. But I'm a lot stronger than you realize. I don't want a pity case here. In a way, you're only alive right now because I made that decision when I stepped into this office. D: *obtuse, missing the mark* Is that a veiled threat at me in some way to show superiority? I don't have a god complex. N: No, I meant it much simpler than that.  D: Hmmmm...You're so resolute about this, once again I have to take you at face value. And yet, that brings us back to the original point. How can I help you if the only thing on your mind is helping others besides yourself? N: I don't get such luxury. You seem to have this mindset that I'm intentionally draining my life away, toiling at the behest of others and neglecting my needs. That's nonsense. I'm alive because I see all of the angles. Too many times it's “kill or be killed.” But what about when you save someone? Save hundreds? How many times can I give an eye for an eye before we're all blind? D: That's noble beyond compare. I hear the pain that comes through too. Same with exhaustion. I'm not asking you to change everything. I'm asking if you want some part...ANY part, better. N: *sarcastic* So you want me to be a better killing machine? D: ...anything, but that. N: So you see my problem. Even when I'm supposedly doing good in the world, it's typically because someone doing worse has been brought down.  D: Least Common Denominator. So how do we change the math? You know I won't help you with the one part of that equation you mentioned, so… N: You're not making the ultimate sinner into a saint...and I'm not even religious. D: For one thing, I'd hardly consider you the ultimate sinner. For another, we're not even going to get into that side of things.  N: That makes one of us. D: You...you really would go that far, huh?  N: When you've seen what I've seen and done what I've done, there's not even a question about it.  D: Then no shame, no blame. There's only the way up. The next assignment. Clue me in your emotions, and I'll try to establish the right path to maximizing your efficacy in relating to people in a mutually beneficial way. N: Now you're trying to make it sound like I'm a wallflower who's never dated. Come on! D: That's not what I'm getting at, I mean *bullets hit glass* N: Bozhe moi. Get down! D: Yes ma'am. N: *fires back* Who knew I was coming? D: No one outside of my assistant. N: That's one person too many. *pause* Did you see where the shot came from? D: No, I'm kinda too busy doing my job. I thought you saw all the angles. N: This is why I didn't wanna come here in the first place. OK, you stick your head up and see if you spot any movement. D: HELL NO. I'm not getting sniped so you can save the day again. N: *grunts* Fine. Do you have something you can use as a distraction? D: I have a paperweight on my desk. N: Gotta work with what we've got. On the count of three, toss it to me. One… two… three! D: *grunts* *bullets fire* N: Do svidaniya, asshole. D: I.. I can't believe this. N: Really? You do what you do and you're surprised? D: No, I can't believe something like this happened and I don't have a pun prepared. N: You are a strange man.  D: Thanks. N: And yet, not the worst at your job. Perhaps I'll come back for another session. But if I do that, we're talking directly or not at all. Also, I'd check your assistant's background. D: Consider it done. So, do you want to keep the paperweight? Consider it a memento. N: No thanks. I have enough stuff weighing me down, I don't need something else. D: Oh man, ANOTHER pun. You're good at this. N: See ya ‘round, Doc.

0:18 Michael WeaselboyDo you think we will ever see Nick Fury Jr. in the MCU??1:42 Mookie JohnsonDo you feel that Brie Larson has done a good job of portraying Carol Danvers in multiple time periods of her life (CM flashbacks, CM main time period, Endgame Start, Endgame end)? I feel that is a tremendous challenge to be given, especially since she shot the last 2 time periods first and with the least amout of time with the character.5:44 StevenWould you be in favor of a Marvel Studios produced animated series that is treated as canon, and fills in a time gap in the Infinity Saga, much the way Clone Wars does for the prequel trilogy? My pick would be Captain America and the Secret Avengers, picking up right after Black Widow in the timeline, and leading to Infinity War.12:02 LincIf you could choose 3 MCU sagas (e.g. iron man trilogy, Avengers quadrilogy, Thor trilogy, Guardians duology) to receive a (belated) Disney Gallery series, which would they be?

0:46 LincDisney+ has a range of new content aimed at different audiences, with Marvel and Star Wars set up to appeal to the adventure, family action, genre, fantasy and science fiction loving audience. Or geek culture. So you think we might see more content created by Disney to speak to us? Could we see an Indiana Jones series? Is there other original content they could create, or extend upon from their existing intellectual property cache?As an aside, the Indy movies will never get to Disney at this stage, but what's the rights situation with the young Indy shows?7:49 Anthony LawreyWhat do you think about how outspoken Oscar Isaac is in regards to his roles? There's the “drama” with Disney and their influences in TRoS and then his comments about how horrible it was filming for X-Men Apocalypse.13:48 StevenWhat are your thoughts about what DC is doing with continuity in their movies? Joker is clearly meant to be separate, but what about The Batman (2021)? With all new actors for Alfred, Gordon, and Wayne, and Affleck done being Batman, what hope do they have in circling back and having the heroes team up again? Are there sections of DC fandom who are explaining it as the “Snyderverse” being totally retconned out (along with the first Suicide Squad)?21:18 Woo S KimWho do you put on your Marvel Comics Villain Rushmore, mine is Apocalypse, Thanos, Doctor Doom, and Ultron.22:32 Mookie JohnsonPiggybacking on you October Patrons choice  episode, would a comic book series showing adventures of the Secret Avengers between Civil war and Infinity war be good fit?25:37 Alex KleinI know must of us have a rough idea of the difference between a producer and Executive producer but could you dive in more? Are they paid differently? I know EP can be a fluff title but I'm sure there are some nuances.32:56 StevenLet's say hypothetically Sony gets bought, and all Spider-Man rights revert to Marvel Studios. You are Disney, and you want to continue the outstanding success of Into the Spiderverse. You don't want to add to Feige's workload. Who do you entrust with making another animated Miles Morales film, Disney Animation or Pixar?34:06 Mookie JohnsonHow do director teams, like the Russo Brothers among others, divide the responsibilities? Also, do they each basically get half of what solo director would be paid for the same movie?37:01 StevenI'd love to know more about the terms; pre-production, production, and post-production, and the time table for starting production on a project (film or Disney + series) all the way to release. Often we talk about shooting beginning roughly a year before release, but I'd like to know more about what all needs to get done from the start of shooting to release. How early can a film conceivably make it to release if it starts shooting, say, February 1st, 2020? As a follow up, how could this differ for a Disney + series? If Loki starts shooting late January, what is the earliest that series COULD stream on Disney +? That is, assuming we didn't already know it was set for Spring 2021.56:26 Michael WeaselboyWho do you think would win in a lightsaber duel Luke from Return of the Jedi or Kylo Ren from The Force Awakens???57:09 Woo S KimAs I am writing this question, it is the decade anniversary of the iPad, what did you think of the device in 2010, were you interested in getting one at any time, and do you have an iPad currently?58:04 Jim Scroggs What are some of your favorite memories of Kobe Bryant?1:02:53 StevenThere seems to be some misinformation spreading about Spider-Man rights and the SUMC: is it actually possible for Sony to sell the rights to Spider-Man to another studio besides Disney? I've seen people say that Sony could just sell those rights to Apple first, then sell the studio to Apple separately, preventing the rights from reverting to Disney.

0:20 Rober ReinekeWith all the news about Disney+ and the MCU shows there, is there a potential downside to locking everything behind the paywall of streaming services? Is there still any value to having a tv series out there, free to everyone, on network tv? There's certainly a lot of conversation going on about Crisis on Infinite Earths on the CW, so is there a vacuum out there created by the rush to streaming?8:45 Kerry Vanderberg Can you explain who is on the Marvel Studios Parliament? To my ears, that's a new term  you've been using lately. How is this different from the Creative Committee before the "split" between Feige and Perlmutter? Have people like Nate Moore and Trinh Tran been at Marvel Studios the whole time since IRON MAN, or did they come on board more recently, and how did they rise up in the ranks so quickly? Also, whatever happened to Jeremy Latcham? Your expertise on Marvel Studios' leadership structure would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks!25:05 Kerry VanderbergWhenever the next Avengers team up happens, do you think there will be any indicators that various members of the Avengers have been in regular communication together (i.e. T'Challa staying in contact with Dr. Strange, Falcon, or Rhodey), or do you think it will be some kind of inciting incident that will bring them back together, but it will basically be the first time they've interacted with each other since Tony's death?26:46 LincNow that Taika and Thor are so closely tied, is there another character, whether announced or just on the bench, who you think Kenneth Branagh would be suited to directing? Given Rothman's love for Shakespeare, I can't help but to think that something spidery might be relevant?28:51 LincThe rebooted Excalibur comics in Dawn of X goes into Arthurian mythology. Can we expect to see the MCU tell a mediaeval story, whether magical or grounded, in the next few phases?29:47 Anthony LawreyI know you said there wasn't anything you'd change with Endgame, do you still feel the same after seeing the newly deleted scenes on Disney+?31:00 Mookie JohnsonCould you see Disney+ doing series for the adventures of "The Secret Avengers" between Civil war and Infinity war and/or Cap's Mission to return the Infinity Stones. There are obviously alot of hurdles here including Chris Evans' willingness to reclaim the role. I sure would love to see it though.37:02 Mookie JohnsonI love the touch to make "A long long time" the song that Peggy and Steve dance to as Endgame ends. It fits the scene so perfectly and is yet one more great call back to MCU past.My question in hindsight is why was this the right song for Fury to be listening to as Cap entered his apartment in Winter Soldier?39:33 Zack KuhnWhat are the odds that the entirety of WandaVision takes place when Wanda is destroying the mind stone? Her and Vision live out an entire life as she's trying to save him/keep the stone from Thanos. Kinda brings a new meaning to her line in Endgame “you took everything from me”. Not totally sure how this would connect to Multiverse of Madness or why it would include the side characters that we've seen already, but it's gonna be a gloriously weird show!46:49 Matt Gilbert Why aren't Deadpool or the X-men movies on Disney+?51:59 Michael WeaselboyDo you think if Agents of Shield ran for an eighth season, would Feige integrate it into the MCU proper??? And have the characters show up in movies??53:43 Zack KuhnEven with the added movie dates, it seems every date has an occupant with none of them being anything related to my favorite marvel group,  the X-men.  Do you think 2024 is the earliest we can expect an X-men related film to drop?

Sean answers your Marvel questions!0:34 Alex WardHey Sean! Happy Fox acquisition day! I may be remembering wrong, but did Disney immediately announce more films when they purchased Lucasfilm? If so, do you think that may be why so many fans are expecting an announcement from Marvel about an X-Men or FF movie's sooner than it'll actually happen? Also, if they did immediately announce new Star Wars films, how was that situation different from this one? Just that Star Wars films were a given? Thanks Sean!7:25 Robert KlauserMaybe the Gunn “leave of absence” could be a silver lining considering James Gunn had interest in characters previously owned by Fox in the past. What are your thoughts that there could be some rewrites for the GotG Vol 3 script to include said characters?10:03 Tom DeMicheleHey Sean and Patrons! I've been re-listening to all the Empire Spoiler Podcasts with MCU directors and creators. In the Civil War episode, the Russo's said they explored many options for the turning point of the airport fight before deciding on Giant-Man. What do you think were their previous options for swinging the fight in Team Cap's favor?12:12 Nick DiTotaHey Sean, I've been a part of the Patreon for about 3 months now and I just want to say that I think it's awesome! I love being able to listen every day while I'm at work. Over the past couple years I've gotten big into reading comics. I've never read any comics about the Eternals and with Marvel making an Eternals movie I'd like to read some to get to know the characters a little more. Do you have any recommendations as to a particular series to read? I figured to get to know them best go right to the source with Kirby's original series but I wanted your opinion. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for everything you do!14:00 Jeremy WatsonAt the end of Iron Man, when Fury is telling Stark that he's become part of a bigger world, we now know that he was referring to Captain Marvel. At that time (2008), do you think that Kevin Feige was referring to her or just the Marvel Universe in general? Thanks15:41 Derek BeebeHey Sean, I know you've talked about them doing Hickman's Secret War as an Avengers movie, but what I really want to see is what leads up to that story, Time Runs Out.  Our heroes struggling in vain against an impossible, universe ending threat, driven to increasingly immoral desperation.  I think this would make a great trilogy of Avengers movies, but how dark do you think our heroes could get in a major blockbuster?  And if they did Secret War, how much time do you think they'll spend with Battleworld?  Personally I thought that was the least interesting aspect of the series by far.  And of course, this entire story requires Doom to be in the MCU.19:37 Derek BeebeDo you regret we didn't get a "Secret Avengers" movie between Civil War and Infinity War, showing what life was like for Cap's team living in exile in Wakanda?  I think that would have been a great story.  And if we did have that movie, do you think they should have avoided putting Tony and Steve together?22:10 Derek BeebeDo you think we need a Captain Marvel 2 taking place before Miss Marvel in order to properly establish Carol as a modern day hero for Kamala Kahn to look up to?23:50 Derek BeebeWhat do you think the line up for Avengers 5 will be?  I'm assuming that none of the original team will be around, though I hope that's not true.  Captain Marvel will be team leader of course.   I'm thinking Black Panther, Ant-Man, Wasp, Doctor Strange... maybe Shang Chi and Sersi?  And do you think a line up like that would be as popular as the original?29:00 Chris FHey Sean! Happy merger day! Was really great to break the news on the discord about the trailer release. I actually had a moment where I was like I wonder if this is what Sean feels like when he's breaking marvel news for us!Also thanks for sharing your idea of a “meditation period” before marvel films. I finally had a chance to try it with captain marvel and it worked great. So my question for the week is since time travel seems to be a factor in endgame is their any particular scene from any past films you would like to see them go back to and change a bit?I for one would love to see the scene of Thor and Loki on the rocks in Germany where Thor knows Loki is dead in the future and it's a bit more emotional. Thanks again for creating this great community!30:50 AlexHappy Closing day Sean! May I ask do you forsee the MCU X-Men and Fantastic Four films having the 20th Centuary Fox logo are does that become null and void once Marvel is making the movies and not Fox?32:10 AlexDo you think anything will in the world of Marvel superheroes world will be as historic as the X-Men and Fantastic Four coming back home back to Marvel Studios or is it as good as it gets? I have a hard time imagining even Marvel eventually gaining the full rights to Spider-Man will be as huge as this considering Marvel already has used Spidey in the MCU before now.33:54 AlexYou've lamented before on the quality of Entertainment journalism in regards to reporting things that are Marvel related but do you worry it can be greatly exacerbated after the deal closes? I see a future of a lot of unsubstantiated rumors about Mutants and Fantastic Four emerging more than ever before.35:03 Michael WeaselboyHey Sean its amazing to realize that now the MCU  can be fully complete. I was wondering do you think we will have Masters of Evil sometime in the MCU as the next Avengers villains?? Do you think Doctor Doom could be the leader?? What other members would you add??37:18 AlexDo you think Marvel gets the rights to Fantastic Four might soften your stance on Fan4stic once you re-watch the movie again at some point(assuming you ever do?)39:14 AlexSean, have you seen Bumblebee yet?  What do you think about it? And if you have seen it and liked it then  do you now agree that Travis Knight would be a  suitable choice to helm FF? I know you have Dee Rees as your top choice to direct Fantastic Four but I think Knight would a fantastic job( dumb  pun intended) with the First Family. 39:54 Brett HeierHey Sean, did you like the all female ghostbusters movie? I loved it and I am very sad there won't be a sequel. Also, did you like Captain Phasma as a character? Do you think we will see her again in the Star Wars Universe? Sorry these questions weren't very centered around the MCU.41:13 Brett HeierHow many more years do you think Scarlet Witch will be in the MCU?41:58 AlexSean, do you think  the Deadpool moves become retroactively canon in the MCU when Wade Wilson enters the MCU or do you think its unlikely? Would you rather  keep Deadpool in his own universe separate form the MCU or are you  of the mindset that he can be integrated into the MCU with little problems.44:54 AlexDo you have any   strong picks for Doctor   Doom?45:37 Jeremy WatsonSean, in the spirit of March Madness, who would your top 4 seeds be out of the major MCU players? Thanks!47:59 Jessica LoutfiHey Sean. Given that the Russo brothers are famous for adding things into their trailers that aren't in the movies...what do you think they added to the new trailer that may not be in Avengers Endgame? Thanks!49:30 Woo S! KimI happen to think Inhumans and Daredevil are the most underrated creations of Stan Lee's iconic career, do you concur, if you don't what do you think is his most underrated creation or creations, Sean?51:14 Woo S! KimIronically enough Sean, there is going to be a lot of What If Questions involving the “What If” Disney Plus animated series so please forgive the puns.  Now let's say for argument sake Disney wanted to do a “What If” episode or episodes that involve Tom Holland's Spider-Man can Marvel Studios/Disney do this or is Tom Holland's Spider-Man technically with Sony Pictures?  Related to Spider-Man do you feel that this “What If” Animated Series is Marvel Studios way of metaphorically dipping their toe into the pool of animation if they get the rights back to Spider-Man in the next two years or perhaps Marvel Studios wanting to release other Marvel characters in animated films released in cinemas that have nothing to so with Spider-Man, could this be the case why or why not?54:29 Woo S! KimIf you ever had the chance to interview Stan Lee did you have any questions you always wanted to ask him, me personally I would just spent the time thanking him for creating Daredevil.55:36 Matt MillerDo you think with the merger closing today thay Marvel studios will rearrange some of their plans and get the FF and X-men movies out before ones currently being planned/ones that are rumored?59:26 David RosenWith all the new properties coming over, and all the likely reboots that are going to happen, how do you foresee Marvel Studios adhering to their “no more origin stories” rule? While we will need some explanation, what do you think the amount of origin we'll get for the characters coming over from Fox? With the Fantastic Four and their fairly well-known origin specifically in mind, do you think it's possible to do something similar like they did with Spiderman, or will they need the classic origin story treatment to get them started? As the MCU continues to grow beyond End Game, and with all the new characters that will be introduced, what is the correct balance the MCU needs to strike in telling new characters' origins so that audiences don't start to get bored and look past the first films for all the upcoming characters?1:01:54 David RosenI know I thought this after the End Game super bowl spot, and I honestly cant remember if I, or some else asking about it then, but considering that the most recent trailer included flashbacks in black and white with the red highlights again, do you think there is more going on here than it just being a stylistic choice?1:03:27 David RosenOne of the reasons that I felt Captain Marvel was so different and refreshing from the rest of the MCU was the lack of an obvious love interest. Why is it that having a love interest has become such a staple of storytelling in the superhero genre? Was it a product of the times that these stories were being written in that the male hero had to have a woman to save and/or fall in love with? Do you think moving forward, Marvel should leave the obligatory, one-off love story behind in favor of other ways of developing characters or will it always be one of those story aspects that we'll just need to deal with sometimes because love is just a part of life?1:08:27 David RosenIn the discussion about whether Captain Marvel is too powerful in the MCU, regardless of whether or not we actually get to see this tested in a movie, if you consider that Wanda is able to use her energy to destroy the Mind Stone, do you think Captain Marvel could be defeated by a Hydra weapon, as they both draw their power from the Tesseract?1:10:38 Paul ShearmanHey Sean and everyone, hope you're all having a good week so far. Sean, pop quiz time! A quick question following your Captain Marvel conversations about the use of Nirvana when Carol went up against the Supreme intelligence (although I agree totally with you that it gets a pass because it's a terrific song!). Because I'm a weird completist about these things (!) I'm interested to know what alternative song you'd use, that fits with the ‘pre-1989 Carol leaving Earth' chronology and therefore not necessarily being aware of that song!In the grand scheme of things, this of course didn't ruin my enjoyment of the movie in any way, but I love to dot the i's and cross the t's..!Thanks as always, and enjoy the rest of your week.1:13:47 Jeremy WatsonSean, with the Fox/Disney acquisition complete, do you foresee any changes to some of Fox's tv content, such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc?1:17:11 Robert ReinekeHi Sean. There's some speculation that the latest Endgame trailer includes fake scenes and images that were deliberately altered from what will appear in the actual movie, ala Hulk in Wakanda. Now, I realize that no trailer is the actual movie, with trailers often featuring temp music, scenes and line readings that may end up on the editing floor, incomplete special effects, etc. Not to mention the fact that editing a 2 to 3 hour movie into a 2 minute spot is a deliberate act of distortion, all sizzle, all the time, albeit usually not on the level of trying to make The Shining look like a feel good family film or Christopher Robin look like a horror film. But, I feel that most trailers aren't trying to deliberately lie to me. Is a line being crossed here? I know Jean Luc Godard said that "Cinema is truth at 24 frames per second." and Brian DePalma retorted "Cinema is lies at 24 frames per second." and I'm much more in the DePalma camp, but I feel that I never like to be deliberately lied to. Yeah, I expect it won't ruin my enjoyment of the film any, but we have to hold the creators we like to the same  standards we hold those we don't like.  Did showing the Hulk in Wakanda ad one cent to the box office? I don't think so. Plus, I also feel that it's unnecessary in a film where you have 3 hours of footage and over 20 films to draw footage from, and a few seconds can't be that important. And I feel that this is a trend that ought to be nipped in the bud before it gets out of control, like digitally inserting Avengers into trailers for Eternals. Do you devalue the trailer by making them wholly unreliable?What do you think of the ethics of lying in trailers beyond "caveat emptor"?1:23:49 Angel L AshbyHey there Sean! Do you think that Disney/MCU set the timeline for the Disney/Fox deal so that it would be finalized before Endgame came out and do you believe that there will be a teaser for FF or Xmen in Endgame? Or do you think that Endgame will.. end.. in such a way that it sets up for X-men to be a new introduction in to the universe? (I hope that made sense.)
