Black Panther

I hope Goliath gets more respect then he does in the comics

and the fucking Ghost?

Thunderbolts soon?

Yeah, female version of Ghost. If T-Bolts happens, it probably won't be until after Avengers 4. I know Gunn wanted to direct it.

And yeah, Goliath got a raw deal, man. It was shameful what happened to him in CW.
 
I find Captain Marvel being set in the 90s really interesting. Any more info on that?

Edit: I guess Nick will lose his eye here and these events are the impetus for starting The Avengers?

I can't believe how deep the MCU is getting. Goliath of all people turning up in a movie, I never would've thought that even 5 years ago.
 
So I assume Sonny Burch is an Aldrich Killian type deal where he's a mix of a minor bit character and an established villain. Wonder who.

I know Samuel L Jackson looks pretty much the same now as he did in the 90's but I wonder if they'll try to make him look a lot younger.

Thanks for the info roundup, GOB! Great stuff. I don't think there's anything about be MCU that doesn't excite me. Everything looks so awesome. Skrulls! Finally!
 
We already know about Fury's ability to keep things completely off the books (Hawkeye's family). He probably had Carol as a super-secret SHIELD agent (we already know Hank and Janet were secret SHIELD agents from Ant-Man). So now my two questions about the movie are love interest (because this more or less confirms no Rhodes) and whether they try to put Monica in it.

I'd bet the house that Fury loses his eye in Captain Marvel. He already mentioned that the last time he trusted someone he lost his eye. Guessing a friend of his is a Skrull in disguise and yoink! I do wonder if Captain Marvel being in the early 90s is going to make DC re-think Wonder Woman in the 80s. I know the latter was just a rumor though.

The Banner details explain why he seemed so confused talking to Thor in the trailer.

Rumor for Wonder Woman 2 involved it dealing with the late days of the Cold War. Even if Captain Marvel 2 is relatively close to that timeline wise, it would be a very different feel.

Which is weird considering at the end of BvS she said she stepped away from Man 100 years prior, so...she forgot to mention she came back for the Cold War?

I'd still be wary about having them take place in the same time period. We don't know what Captain Marvel is about aside from the Skrulls. She could be weeding out Skrulls from the Soviet Union to end the Cold War. There has to be a story reason why they went with the early 90s.

Ghost is a character I never thought I'd see on film.

Can't wait for the Kree-Skrull shenanigans.

It's a good excuse to have a 90's soundtrack. Alanis Morrissette and Smashing Pumpkins everywhere in this bitch.
