    Sean answers your Marvel questions!

    0:52 Jim Scroggs

    Since Peter has officially met Nick Fury in the FFH trailer, do you think that at some point we’ll see Peters Parents as SHIELD agents in a flashback or to make it even more comic book-y, they were never dead to begin with

    3:19 Jessica Loutfi

    Hi Sean. Hope all is well with yourself and the patrons. It has been fun to be a part of the discord community. I am wondering if you had ever given any thought to the origins of the Marvel comics in regards to their mythological equals. For example, Thor and the Norse Myths. I wonder if you have a take on the Greek mythological figure Thanatos, whom has many similarities to Thanos and how myths play into the stories we enjoy. Thanks for everything you do!

    6:28 Brian White

    Hi Sean. I'm about a week behind on podcasts so this might have been answered by the time I catch up but I'm curious and confused about all the fan theories assuming Secret Invasion is an obvious next step. As you've commented, that kind of story requires years of setup. It was much more intuitive to me to assume that the next Avengers movie or Captain Marvel 2 would be Kree/Skrull War. Surely, Carol is not going to wrap that whole thing up in the first Captain Marvel movie. She's going to need her new Avengers team mates to help her no matter how powerful she is. This event could accomplish again what Infinity War did, bringing the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America together in the backdrop of a space adventure. What do you think? Thanks!

    10:45 Woo S! Kim

    If I am just a casual cinema goer and I just heard from friends the storylines of the comics: “House of M” “Avengers v. X-Men” and “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” don’t all those storylines sound about the same, myself being a geek, I know they are different.  Do you think it would be the correct move since cinema goers and hardcore geeks have seen one live action version of The Dark Phoenix that did not go over so well and one that hasn’t even debuted in cinemas that is all ready getting artistic mud thrown at it, wouldn’t it make sense when Feige has creative control over the X-Men to do a “House of M” film first since a lot of people have gotten to know Scarlet Witch and perhaps will have more emotional investment because of her Disney Plus series storyline and then in let’s say for argument sake five years just lump “The Dark Phoenix” and “Avengers v. X-Men” storylines together adapt both stories into an “Avengers v. X-Men” film, what say you, Sean?  

    15:23 Woo S! Kim

    You Sean are one of the few people I have heard give Nicole Pearlman credit for what she contributed to the first “Guardians of The Galaxy” film now this could be a non-issue especially if Marvel Studios and or whomever directs the third Guardians of The Galaxy film decides to use James Gunn script and makes miniscule changes to it.  For argument sake, let’s say Marvel Studios doesn’t like James Gunn’s script for whatever reason, would Nicole Pearlman in your point of view be a good person to bring into write a new draft of “Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 3” because of her work on the first film or would it be too much of a challenge because her initial interpretation of the Guardians is perhaps too far and away from what James Gunn has established?

    17:35 Woo S! Kim

    This is just speculation on my part, but I have seen on a lot of Marvel Comics social media, a lot of advertising with the Fantastic Four. My question is with the Disney/FOX deal potentially closing very soon,  is this just Marvel Comics slowly reintroducing Marvel’s first family and X-Men characters into the comics because they just want to be in the words of Lion King’s Scar to be prepared when Fantastic Four and X-Men come back into the fold or could there be something more there we fans aren’t seeing, to be fair and no pun intended with the not seeing when Daredevil’s rights came back to Marvel in 2012, Marvel slowly starting reintroducing him to the comics proper, same with Ghost Rider, what are your thoughts, Sean?

    19:40 brentacPrime

    Do you think any characters that were snapped will come back only to die again in Endgame? If so, any guesses?

    22:07 Tom DeMichele

    Do you think the next person to play Matt Murdock should be a blind actor? I think casting actors with disabilities is the next step in representation, and discussion on this topic is ongoing. Actors like Bryan Cranston and Tessa Thompson have been met with criticism for portraying characters with disabilities. Perhaps for logistical and safety reasons, a non-blind stunt person can do the more complicated action scenes, with a blind actor portraying Matt for everything else. Your thoughts, Sean?

    24:17 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

    Hey Sean! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

    Have you seen every MCU film’s special features? And if so (or from the ones you have seen) which film’s special features are your personal favorite(s) and why?

    27:01 Alex

    Sean with “Glass” already have come out I thought I should ask you a question regarding the director dubbed the King of  The Twist(for better or worse)  and was once dubbed(prematurely) as “the next Spielberg” himself M. Night Shyamalan(forgive me if I misspelled his name) M. Night Shyamalan is one of the most polarizing directors working today but I still like most of Shymalan’s films(yes even The Village) and Unbreakable I think is masterpiece and kind of shows he has in him for a superhero flick.  So first of all, what do you think of him as a filmmaker and what Marvel property do you think he’d be the best fit for?

    28:39 Alex

    If ‘Into The Spiderverse’ was a live-action film do you think Tobey McGuire would be able  to pull off an older, jaded, scluby Peter mentoring Miles Morales or do you think they’d be better off going with someone else or just casting Jake Johnson(the voice actor who played Peter in the movie)? Personally I’d be curious to see Tobey McGuire play a Peter Parker who’s at a different stage of his life than the one he played Peter in the Riami  trilogy. It’d almost be like asking Micheal Keaton(Keaton’s is a much better actor than McGuire IMO)  to come back to play  the older version of Bruce Wayne mentoring Terry McGinnis.

    29:57 Alex

    I recently happened upon an interview with Dan Slott with SY FY Wire  in which he blatantly confirms what we all suspected - The Disney/Fox deal is the primary reason Marvel revived the FF comics. Granted we all knew  months before the Disney/Fox deal  that FF was cancelled because of the film rights situation because Jonathan Hickman basically confirmed  that the comics were canceled over the  film rights still being at Fox(they canceled the comic the same year Fan4stic was released), and not because of the Marvel PR story about the comic having “low sales” but it just irks me that Marvel can be so petty  but  how do you feel about it? Do you think Marvel was in the right to cancel the comic because they don’t own the film rights and they don’t want to support a potentially bad movie like Fan4stic(which actually did turn out bad by the way) by not giving  it any promotion whatsoever?  Why didn’t they cancel  the X-Men comic over the same thing since back then those rights were also at Fox?

    36:37 Paul Shearman

    Hey Sean and patrons, hope everyone has had a great week so far. Having now seen the international trailer for Spider-Man Far From Home, we know that Peter has his original Homecoming costume with him when he’s is Europe. And we have also now seen the red and black costume being worn in Europe- which from the early set photos last year made it look like he was just wearing it in New York (to me at least).
    So I’m curious who he gets this suit from, as I expect Nick Fury will provide the stealth suit he gets - but the red and black costume looks absolutely like a Tony Stark design. We know Happy Hogan is in the movie and we also see Happy talking to Peter in what looks - possibly- like the cabin of a private jet (when he says to Peter ‘you’re alone’).
    So, could Happy provide Peter with the red and black costume, and would that therefore indicate Tony created it, and was still alive after Endgame (although I guess he could just as easily have made it prior to any possible death in Endgame).
    As always, would welcome your thoughts on this Sean, and hope you and all the patrons enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    39:39 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

    Ok, so the topic and question I’m about to bring up is in no way meant to be insensitive or to cause any sort of controversy, at all. It’s more to just get a different perspective on the matter as well as to share a little bit of my own opinion.

    What is your opinion of the recent Hollywood trend to link directors to movies with the same race/sex as the leads in those films? Mostly it’s become/becoming a trend in the superhero genre. Examples: Black Panther, Wonder Woman, and others that haven’t been released or announced yet like Black Widow and Shang Chi.

    Now, I am not saying it’s a bad trend, in fact I have enjoyed immensely the diversity in front of and behind the cameras for these films recently.

    I guess I also feel, though, that just like for years movies in general, as well as superhero ones, have been helmed by Caucasian males; is it not seen as “right” in today’s society for films with a Caucasian lead to be directed by a director of different race/sex? For example can’t there be like a Captain America or Iron Man movie directed by say a Ryan Coogler? And just like for many years women led films have also been helmed by male directors. How about a woman directing a male led film? I loved the idea that was thrown around a while ago for Patty Jenkins to direct a Superman movie.

    Those are just some superficial examples. I hope I made sense and didn’t cause a stir. I honestly would just like to talk about this topic in a respectful and sensitive way.

  • Midweek Q&A - January 16, 2019

    Sean answers your Marvel questions!

    01:32 Woo S! Kim

    After seeing what has happened on Marvel Television series’ this past year and I didn’t believe you fully for years, Sean.  Whether it be on Superhero News, on this podcast when it was called “Making Mine Marvel” or when you rebranded the podcast to its current name that the Marvel TV universe wasn’t fully connected with the MCU proper universe, I concede your point, you were correct and I was incorrect perhaps this may change after the Disney/FOX perhaps it will, possibly it may not.  My question is there are so many names for humans with powers in Marvel right now and there will be a famous name that Disney will be able to use in the very near future, I am currently starting Season Two of “The Runawayz” what would you call the characters that have powers on that series?  Going back to my earlier statement could one call them Mutants because my geek mind is remembering that there are some Mutants  that get their powers not through natural genetic mutation, would you be alright with Marvel TV using the name Mutants, even though certain characters will never reference the or team up with the X-Men? Or would you prefer Marvel TV using the term that Captain Rogers used in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”  “Enhanced.”  Me personally there are so many different types of humans with powers in Marvel, and there is going to be even more in two years in the MCU, unless they are identified as an Inhuman etc. I just call a human with powers, a “Hybrid Human.” I may have gotten that name from a Marvel comic, I can’t recall.   What are your thoughts, Sean?

    5:38 Woo S! Kim

    I remember before “Avengers Infinity War” you did not like the idea of the Iron Spider armour from the source material being brought over into the MCU reason being because you said the color scheme from the comics Iron Spider looked too similar from Iron Man’s Red and Gold armour, being that Feige and his team differentiated the MCU version from the comics, do you like the Iron Spider Armor in “Avengers: Infinity War?” Also, do you think the Iron Spider armor is a nanotech attachment I just say that because of how the armor connected with Spidey above Earth’s atmosphere and how Spidey’s armor looks almost exactly like Iron Man’s Nanotech Armor, especially how their helmets come on and off in “Avengers: Infinity War”    Lastly, I would prefer in future Avengers films, if Tom Holland’s Spidey is going to stick around for the long haul, that he use some version of The Iron Spider armor, what say you, Sean?

    08:28 Woo S! Kim

    Selfishly after seeing the “Captain Marvel” Special Look on January 7th, after seeing Captain Danvers in the tavern with Nick Fury, I want Thor to survive the Battle with Thanos so we can see a drinking contest between Captain Danvers v. Thor in a future Avengers film, I think Captain Danvers has a good chance of out drinking Thor, what are your thoughts Sean?

    09:22 Paul Shearman

    Hey Sean and patrons hope you’re all well this week. So, Spider-Man Far From Home trailer - wow! I won’t post spoilers in case people haven’t seen it yet, but I loved it. The stand out question for me, of course, is - pre or post snap?
    Im sure you’ll be covering the whole trailer (this would be very weird if you didn’t!) and I’m looking forward to catching your video reaction later on (one bit in particular at the end I’m sure will be really fun to watch your reaction!).
    Thanks for your time Sean, and enjoy the rest of your week everyone!

    13:43 Zachary Kleinsasser

    Hey Sean and fellow patrons! Hope everyone is having a great week. I had a thought during your Spider-Man rant on the January 11th Daily Bugle. If Marvel is in talks to purchase Spider-Man and bring him back home, what happens to the ‘Into the Spiderverse’ Franchise. I loved that movie and it propelled Miles’s and Peter’s Spidermen to the top of my favorite lists. I would hate to see the potential for what that universe could be go away. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for all that you do!

    17:22 Alex Ward

    Hi Sean and patrons! Great talking with many of you in Discord yet again this week! I was wondering, do you think Marvel Studios will treat X-Men like the Guardians in terms of having their own team-movie series from the get-go, or will they more likely set them up as their own sub-franchise like the Avengers, where we see separate movies first (maybe, in this case, Wolverine, Storm, Brotherhood of Mutants, etc.) come together for an event "X-Men" movie? Or are the characters too interdependent on each other to standalone, at least through Marvel Studios' perspective? I can't help but think Marvel Studios has bigger plans for X-Men than many of us expect!

    21:11 Spencer Toycen

    Hey there, Sean! Just a quick question regarding the Kree-Skrull War and possible MCU storylines. Is there any room for Rick Jones in the MCU? He’s been a sidekick to everyone, most notably sharing atoms with Mar-Vell, but there’s zero chance he’ll show up in couple months.

    Thanks for the podcast and all the hard work!

    23:42 Alex Ward

    What do you think is implied by the construction scene in the Far From Home trailer, and what do you hope it means? https://twitter.com/CharlesMurphTHS/status/1085244708094382084?s=19

    27:46 Alex

    So Sean, it just dawned on me  that there could be some problems with bringing the X-Men and Fantastic Four instead the same world. Particularly since the X-Men are traditionally hated and disliked while the FF are traditionally beloved. I get that there is difference between being a mutant like Charles Xavier and a mutate like Reed Richards but  would people in real life really even care to make that distinction?  Why would the public fear and detest Mutants like Scott Summers and Jean Grey while at the same time revere Mutates who are arguably freakier than a lot of Mutants like Mr. Fantastic — who can stretch? And especially The Thing who’s literally the most freakish of them all? Why are the FF not even commonly mistaken for Mutants when there’s already an overlap between them and the Mutants? These are serious logic questions that Feige and his team have to address in order to make the integration of these characters they’re getting from Fox believable. 

    32:40 Alex

    if Peyton Reed were to be offered a choice between directing the first ever MCU Fantastic Four or directing the third installment of Ant-Man which do you imagine  he'd choose over the other? I'm sure you know as well I do  that Peyton has always expressed interest in directing FF and he was even tapped to direct the movie as far as the earl 2000's before  he left over creative differences. Reed in a recent Colider Q&A for Ant-Man & The Wasp pointed out that Feige was there as an assistant developing the movie so Feige is aware of Reed's interest in the property therefore making him a very strong candidate to direct FF.  It would be interesting for things to come full circle and he ends up directing the film but my problem is I'm no fan of Reed(the director, not the stretchy guy)  and would much rather have an independent new director who brings something new to the table like Ryan Coogler, Jon Watts,  Chloé Zhao and Cate Shortland. Sure the Russo's started out making Captain America films before helming  two big Avengers films but that should be the exception to the rule and I'd still much prefer a different director take over director duties for  the FF.

    37:42 David Rosen

    Hey Sean and Friends! Another week, another MCU trailer. It looks like Sony/Marvel tried to do their best in terms of not giving away when this movie takes place, including photo-shopping Peter's passport to remove all the years,  including when it was issued as it seems Peter is picking up it up from a Passport office and that would give it away (although I wonder if he didn't need one to go Germany in Civil War). However, I was wondering if Nick Fury's clothes might also give away something, as he's back in his black outfit, which we haven't seen him wear since CA: Winter Soldier. Since he was still wearing street clothes in the Infinity Way post-credits scene, is the fact that he's back in black a clue that this takes place after Avengers, End Game?

    40:47 Alex Ward

    One major Avenger we haven't seen onscreen yet is She-Hulk, but I suspect this partially has to do with the Universal deal, and partially to do with her somewhat-sexist superhero name. Do you think it's possible that if Bruce dies in Endgame or gets "cured," that the next Hulk will be Jennifer Walters (perhaps dropping the "She-")?

    42:07 Brett Heier

    Hey Sean! I just watched the Spiderman Far From Home trailer, I thought it looked amazing. In one scene Nick Fury and someone else are shooting at the Earth elemental. The other person looked similar to Maria Hill. Do you agree or think that is someone else. Another thing, when Mysterio shows up his powers seem very real, I know he's a special effects master but his powers looked similar to Dr. Strange's. Also, do you think maybe the elementals are just projections by Mysterio so he can look like a hero? Finally, there has been a lot of talk about there being a Sif show. Personally, I would love to see that. I know you would rather have her in a Valkerye show, but what are your thoughts about sif's possible show and her absence from Thor Ragnarok. As always, thanks for having an awesome podcast!

    47:24 Michael Louis Weaselboy

    Hey Sean I how is your week going?? I hope it is well. So I just watched the Spiderman Far From Home Trailer I loved seeing Mysterio for that brief second and the action looks cool as well. One think I am wondering about tho is what is Vultures role in it?? We know Michael Keaton is in the movie but do you think he has a brief cameo or maybe just a bit part? Thoughts??

    49:12 Alex

    What are the chances of Nick Fury actually be the Chameleon in disguise who's in cahoots with Mysterio?

    51:01 Xavier Arqueros

    Hi Sean and fellow Patrons. So I'm going to L.A. in early May and I want to see Avengers Endgame in the best movie theatre possible. I would love a Dolby Cinema or a great IMAX screen. Thanks Sean, keep the good work.

    53:51 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

    Hey Sean and fellow Patrons! So with Nick Fury appearing at the end of IW and potentially coming back in AE, starring in CM, as well as being in SM FFH, and that rumor that said he was either going to be in a D+ series or lead one; do you believe he is going to have an important role in the MCU moving forward past AE and into Phase 4 (if that’s what it’s called)? If so, how do you think he will be used? I’m glad that he is coming back after a long absence after AoU!

    55:58 Derek Beebe

    Hi Sean, this is my first time Qing for your A, so I apologize if this has already been done. What do you think of the current Marvel cartoons?  (Avengers, Spider-Man, GOTG)  Are you watching them on the reg? I just read an article rumoring they're about to cancel all the series for the Disney Plus switch.  Do you know anything about that?

    57:25 Derek Beebe

    What did you think of the last generation of Marvel cartoons?  (Avengers EMH, Spectacular Spiderman, Wolverine and X-Men, Iron Man Armored Adventures)  I was particularly enamored with AEMH and SSPM!

    57:29 Derek Beebe

    What's your opinion of the 90s Spider-Man and X-Men series?  Those were my introduction to the comics and they hold a special place in my heart, though both had terrible final seasons.

    58:46 Derek Beebe

    Why would Peter know who Nick Fury is in Far From Home?  Isn't he a secret spy?  (you answered this in Discord but I figure it makes for good radio)

    1:00:17 Derek Beebe

    What's your opinion on when Far From Home takes place?

    1:00:30 Derek Beebe

    If Mysterio is an American character, what's his excuse for showing up when these monsters attack in Europe?

    1:00:57 Alex

    What do you think about my idea  of when the MCU X-Men happens  the they have the X-Men  get in the colorful comic-accurate costumes and MCU Wolverine laments the fact that they wear such flashy costumes only for MCU Scott to respond with,"What would you prefer black1 leather spandex?" See what I did there?

    1:01:29 Alex

    How would you handle the FF's celebrity status in the MCU if they might potentially will appearing in the MCU as modern day heroes  after the Avengers and Spider-Man have shown to be big superhero celebrities already?

    1:03:25 Alex

    When discussing the prospect of ending the era of the MCU that started in 2008 with ''Iron Man" Feige cited The Star Trek Next Generation series finale ''All Good Things..'' as a reference for how to wrap up a series.  Though obviously the MCU will continue past Endgame have you for curiosity's sake checked out that episode of Trek and I realize I'm asking you this question not knowing whether or not you're a Star Trek fan.  When Feige  mentioned that episode he pointed out that episode wasn't about death  but about the finality it brought to the characters --namely Picard in which he pointed out that character started playing poker with the rest of crew which should've done earlier.  While obviously that doesn't mean nobody will die  since Fiege was merely using that as  an example to illustrate his point but I gotta say it makes me wonder can Marvel get away with not really killing anybody in Endgame?

    1:10:16 Moonie Hassan

    Hey Sean, so I was having a discussion about what the FFH indicates to the end of Endgame, if what Feige said was true about FFH picking up minutes right after Endgame, then doesn't the tone from the FFH trailer seem a bit off? You would think it would be a bit more somber or down, unless the hero's that were dusted return without any memory of what happened in Infinity War, thoughts?

    1:15:11 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

    In regards to the D+ series, would the actor reprising their roles to play these characters have had to have signed new deals/contracts in order to do so? I am assuming they did have to. If so, is that a good sign that these actors/actresses like playing these characters in the MCU?

    Sean answers your Marvel questions! 

    0:43 Kerry Vanderberg

    Hi Sean, I hope you are doing well. What are some of your “must-haves” in the new era of X-Men films which you want to see once they are introduced into the MCU? A few for me are: a more drawn out fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth where they actually get to slash each other up (which they had the perfect opportunity to do in LOGAN, but missed out by not bringing back Leiv Schreiber); Rogue somehow getting her flight and super-strength powers; and for them to plant the seeds of the larger mythology with Cyclops and Jean, where their offspring (Cable) would become the one who can truly defeat Apocalypse in the future. This involves a lot of players including Mr. Sinister, Stryfe, Apocalypse, and should be a long-game plan. Personally, I would hope to see them build up to an adaptation of the X-Cutioner’s Song Saga, and play up the mystery that Stryfe is a clone of Cable. Although most important I supposed would to see the X-Men working together as a TEAM. What are your thoughts?

    8:58 Kerry Vanderberg

    What do you think are the missed opportunities for Spider-man from the Amazing Spider-Man films? Personally I didn’t like either film, and the only thing that I was excited for before ASM 2 came out was Shailene Woodley’s casting as Mary Jane. Personally I thought she was pitch-perfect casting, as I would see her in interviews (particularly one with Conan O’Brien), and I thought her natural personality in that interview matched MJ perfectly. So I was bummed when she was cut out, but I doubt her appearance would have made much of a difference for that film anyways. In any case, that is one where if there was a way to de-age Shailene Woodley to match Tom Holland’s age, I would prefer to see her cast as Mary Jane in current era of Spider-man, but I doubt that will happen either. What did you think about Shailene Woodley’s casting at the time, and what do you think were the missed opportunities with that version of Spider-man (other than ASM 2 simply not being a good movie)?

    15:19 Kerry Vanderberg

    What types of movies do you go to when you have finished an MCU/superhero movie marathon or re-watch? Do you have a “palette cleanser” of sorts? Some of my favorite non-superhero genres are crime dramas, spy thrillers, and sci-fi films. While obviously the MCU has done a great job in intermixing multiple genres in their films, sometimes it’s great to go to a stand-alone film like LA Confidential or Interstellar for a change of pace. Any recent ones you’ve discovered or revisited?

    18:20 Mookie Johnson

    Given your report on the Daily Bugle yesterday, I kept waiting for you to say that "the Oscars want the Avengers to come save the day" or something like that... maybe i'm the only one who hears these bad jokes in my head.

    Anywho, Do you think there's any chance  that comes with any promotional reveals like a costume, trailer, behind-the-scenes, etc.?
    Also do you think the actors would be themselves for the segments or would they be in character? For example,  would the title card say Robert Downey jr. And he is being himself, or might he come out in an Iron Man suit and be acting as Tony Stark/Iron Man?
    If it is the latter, would they not have dusted characters present?

    21:33 Woo S! Kim

    Now that we are closer to the launch of Disney Plus and the FOX/Disney merger coming to a close, where do you think the place of Marvel TV within Disney will be especially since sites like The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter which I know can be cold and hot on these stories sometimes especially when there is not a lot of information,  but they have reported over the last month or so that Marvel Studios is going to do quite a bit of live action content on Disney Plus, do you think that Marvel Animation that is under the Marvel TV umbrella will do a lot more exclusive animated films, for Disney Plus? Also, I have been thinking this for a couple of days now, and you have touched on this in the past, has your mode of thinking altered in that Marvel Studios series will stay primarily on Disney Plus which will be a big selling point to the casual non geek audiences to get Disney Plus subscriptions and Marvel TV will primarily produce shows for Freeform and FXX as well as “Agents of Shield” on ABC?

    29:94 Alex

    Hey Sean can I ask how you'd prefer MCU  Sue Storm be portrayed in comparison to the Fox-versions played previously by Kate Mara and Jessica Alba respectively? In my mind, Sue should be confident and assertive, while also being a complete badass.   And also I would like for the MCU to have Sue Storm be among the strongest and most  dangerous characters in the universe. Sue is already the most powerful member of the FF

    30:05 Alex

    Forgive me if you've been asked this question before  but for  the MCU do you think the best approach for realizing the Thing in live-action  is putting the actor in a Mo-Cap suit like we've seen done for Hulk and Fan4stic or would  would you prefer old-school practical thing like makeup/prosthetics  like we've seen done  before with the Tim Story movies and most recently with the Skrulls?

    31:56 David Rosen

    Hey Sean, I’ve been holding onto this question for a while now, mainly because it has more to do with Disney-Fox than the MCU, but with the launch of your new Star Wars podcast, I figured this is the right time to ask. Once the deal goes through, can you see, and/or would you prefer, Disney putting the Fox fanfare back in front of Star Wars movies and/or new tv shows? That fanfare is so iconic, that whenever I hear it, my mind automatically jumps to the opening Star Wars theme right after hearing it. Plus, like the MCU fanfare, I’ve become conditioned to get excited for whatever is about to come after it. When I saw Force Awakens and Last Jedi, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing at the beginning of those movies and it just didn’t feel right hearing the opening Star Wars theme without the Fox fanfare in front of it.

    34:34 David Rosen
    On a separate note, between all you do for this podcast, writing for the MSN website, the new Fandalorians podcast, your twitter activity, reading for the Marvel unlimited bookclub, and keeping up with everyone on the Discord, I seriously have no idea how you have the time to do all of it. You’re not secretly in possession of a time stone that gives you more hours in a day, are you? If so, quit holding out on the rest of us. Not cool. Seriously though, I’m super impressed with and thankful for all you do for your fans and creating this little community of ours that we have going. I’m also really looking forward to the podcast’s leadup to Avengers End Game, so thanks as always and keep it up!

    Another Marvel/Star Wars question: As they are both coming our this year, and will both be serving as conclusions of sorts to their respective franchises, which movie do you think has more riding on it, Avengers Endgame or Star Wars Ep. 9? Also, which movie do you think has more pressure to succeed?

    Hey Sean hope you and all my fellow Patrons have a great weekend!

    So I have heard great things of Jonathan Hickman’s FF comic series! What is your take on it? Why would you recommend this series for someone to read?

    48:06 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

    Favorite MCU costume? Don’t know if this has been asked before.

    49:30 Hector Giovanni Navarrete
    Your personal favorite funniest moment/joke in the MCU?

    51:04 Michael Louis Weaselboy

    Hey Sean hope your weekend is going good, my question is about the X-Men in the MCU, first off who do you think should be the villain in the first X-Men MCU film?? Who would you cast as that character?? What would be the lineup you would pick? And finally who would you cast as them?? Thanks for all that you do and I hope you have a nice weekend.

    Out of all the Fox movies that was currently in development before the Disney deal was announced  that we know of like the Doctor Doom film, Kitty Pyrde film, or the  Gambit film which movie would you most want to be saved and be  re-purposed to fit in the MCU and which project would you most like to see Marvel abandon?

    56:20 Alex

    If Spider-Man was to leave the MCU after ‘Far From Home’ what do you think will be the biggest missed opportunity  that comes with Spider-Man’s MCU tenure coming to an end? For myself it would be Spider-Man not being in the MCU long enough to be able to meet/interact with Fox characters like Wolverine and Johnny Storm. I want Spider-Man to meet the Fantastic Four on screen before I die. I want that  so badly.

    58:48 Alex

    Jeremy Conrad and Christopher Marc(former Editor-In-Chief of a scoop site called Omega Underground) have been insistent that both Dark Phoenix & New Mutants will see a theatrical release even when Disney takes over and I have to wonder what you you think if both Dark Phoenix & New Mutants gets delayed again? Would you still be somewhat confident Disney would release those movies despite the mutiple delays based soley on that report by the Wall Street Journal that Disney will release those movies no matter what? I can’t shake this sneaking feeling that something is going to happen with these movies soon.

    Hi Sean and fellow Patrons, hope everyone is having a nice start to their weekend. I saw a tweet on Friday from Daniel Richtman saying any Fox movie not already in production (like Dark Phoenix and New Mutants) will likely be scrapped when the Disney-Fox deal finally closes. My question is what do you think this means for a potential X-Force movie? I was under the impression that Fox has Josh Brolin and Zazi Beetz locked up for more movies and even if X-Force is delayed will those contracts get handed over to Disney after the deal? Thanks as always for answering our questions and creating such an awesome community for Marvel fans.

    1:08:37 Alex Ward

    Do you think Marvel Studios would consider doing reshoots of New Mutants to make it their own? I think the casting was perfect so I would hate to see it go to "waste". The only downside to that idea I can think of is that it would probably interfere with their overall X-plans. Also, what do you think of the casting and roster of New Mutants?

    1:10:37 Alex Ward

    Also, we've talked before about how the timing of the Fox deal will likely prevent certain characters from ever being able to interact. For example, if Cap dies in Endgame, he'll never meet Wolverine, and so on. What character interactions between current MCU characters and FF/X-Men characters are you most hoping to see? I just have one: Spidey and Human Torch, maybe with them both going to the same high school!

    1:13:08 Alex Ward

    ]In-universe, are the MCU heroes having adventures between the movies, maybe even against other villains, or are we seeing all of their heroics onscreen? I know it's implied that characters like Loki and Thor were up to something before Ragnarok, but for other characters it's not so clear. For example, it's hard for me to infer whether Cap, Natasha, Falcon and the gang were doing any missions while in hiding.

    1:14:49 Alex Ward

    This sort of has to do with the previous question: how would you feel about an MCU "canon" similar to what Star Wars does, in which all the books, comics, video games, and other supplemental materials are now canonical? I know we have the tie-in comics, and that these characters *came* from comics, but I think they're such significant pop culture characters that they now transcend any specific media format. I know we have books like Thanos: Titan Consumed, but while it takes place within the MCU, it's been clearly described as non-canonical.

    1:20:42 Woo S! Kim

    What do you think of the possibilities that the post credit scene in "Avengers: Infinity War" where Hill and Fury are driving take place after the events of "Spider-Man: Far From Home?" also I wou be shocked if I am the only one that's thought of that.
