MCU Fan Show - Marvel Studios commentary

Sean discusses the following prompt from Steven:

It may be too early to give any analysis on, but how do you think the human and economic impact of Covid-19 will change plans and strategies of the Big Five (plus Netflix) movie studios in terms of streaming and/or continuing to operate as usual? How do you think these economic factors will impact the decision making of “disrupters” like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook in terms of making a library or studio purchase? You’ve detailed steps Disney has taken in the past to avoid being bought and how they still don’t need to necessarily seek a safety net to survive, but do Sony Entertainment and Paramount now find themselves in that situation

How is any villain not going to come across as “little league” since the Avengers have taken on the most formidable force in Thanos?

7:06 Uncanny X-Jen

Are there even still an Avengers right now?

12:15 Brett Heier

Could you see spiderman and the scarlet witch teaming up anytime soon? Both characters are around the same age, and they are both most likely going to appear in the next avengers movie as long as wanda survives ds2 and avengers 5 is the team up mentioned holland's contract. Plus, both actors have said many times that they would like to work together in a film.

15:28 Cara Sparman

Not sure if this has been asked already, but I remember you talking about how there was a potential issue with timing for Hailee Steinfeld with her current contract and the alleged Hawkeye contract - could this global timeout actually work to our advantage in terms of seeing her in Hawkeye?

21:01 Bryan L

Is it wrong to get more and more optimistic that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will actually debut in August as get closer we get to August without a changed date? I can’t imagine it’s “bigger fish to fry” mentality because brand new Marvel content to Disney+ is is a big fish for Disney

25:57 Michael Weaselboy

Hey Sean how would you feel if the X-Men are apart of their own universe and not in the greater MCU??

27:31 TJ Ponder

Hey, Sean!

My question is about Chadwick Boseman and the Black Panther character. If my memory serves me correctly, Chadwick signed a five picture deal with Marvel, which will be completed once Black Panther 2 hits theaters. So, safely assuming that Marvel has plans for T'Challa past his second solo movie, what do you think the chances are of Chadwick signing a new deal?

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like he's kinda over playing the character already.

Chadwick aside, what are some things you'd like to see going forward in regards to the BP franchise in general?

37:56 Steven

With both rounds of release date shifts, we’ve seen MCU movies shift one slot with the exception of Black Panther 2 and now the creation of the March 2022 date for Dr. Strange 2 so Black Panther 2 can again stay at May 2022. Seeing the importance they are placing on this movie only increases my excitement for it; what do you think of the significance of Black Panther’s release date holds, and does this, in your mind, make it more likely that Doom will be the villain?

43:27 Steven

What would you say to Sam Raimi reworking Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness into a Disney Plus series? It being scheduled right in between Thor Love and Thunder and Black Panther 2 has me wondering if their plans have evolved.

48:09 Gio

Do you think there is a potential that MS again casted early if indeed Florence Pugh’s Yelena dies in BW and doesn’t continue in the MCU? She had a great 2019 and I believe she was cast right as her amazing year was starting or a bit prior to it.

52:37 Robert

I’m sure you already thought this, but after Extraction, do you think Sam Hargrave has definitely earned a spot to direct his own MCU project? If so, which character can you see him doing a project for?

You are ready to start another podcast: what is it about?

8:18 Michael Weaselboy

Do you think we will ever see a Batman Beyond movie with Michael Keaton playing old Bruce Wayne??

10:01 David Rosen

putting on your speculation goggles for a second, what do you think the impact of the covid 19 situation will have on awards season next year? with theaters closed for the near future and so many movies being postponed beyond what would be eligible for the 2021 awards, do you see them being cancelled, also pushed back to later in the year? also, what do you think happens to any award-worthy movies that were slated to appear in theaters, but were later decided to be released on VOD, without any kind of theater run. Will the usual qualifying rules be suspended for them? will the academy make exceptions this year? Again, i understand its all highly speculative right now, but I'm curious about your thoughts.

18:20 Woo S Kim

Do you think you will get the new stand and keyboard for the iPad Pro, why or why not?

19:04 Steven

What do you think has led to the dip in storytelling quality in superhero animation? It seems we have a group of classics from the 90’s: Spider-Man 94, 90’s X-Men, and Batman: The Animated Series. I listened to an interview with the creators of the X-Men series, and they talked about talking “up “ to kids instead of “down” to them. They always felt pressure to insert superficial storylines to appeal to toy lines and endorsements, but fought against that on several occasions in order to preserve creative quality. Is it really profitable for Disney/Marvel to keep putting out poor animated shows? A recent example is the cancellation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in favor of Avengers Assemble.

27:48 Jim Scroggs

If you could have a personal one on one masterclass with one person, who would it be and why?

31:40 Anthony Lawrey

What have you been doing during a lot of your lockdown time that may be out of your ordinary?

32:42 Bryan

Are you a fan of the Star Wars animated shows?

33:39 Michael Weaselboy

What is your opinion on the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher Batman films??

39:16 Steven

Are you looking forward to Agents of SHIELD Season 7? Any desire to go back and rewatch the series to build up to the finale? I’ve actually found it pretty daunting to try and go back through all of it.

42:49 Anthony Lawrey

What is something that you used to dislike but now find yourself missing during quarantine?

43:41 Michael Weaselboy
