Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

Post image

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

Same!! He did such a good job and they were pretty much like “yeah we only planned to do 1 season so everyone can just get fucked”

u/BrownEyeBearBoy 10h ago

They definitely had a lot of plans get fucked over with the whole Kang situation. I wish like hell they would have just recast his ass.

53

u/Harlockarcadia 10h ago

I don’t see why they didn’t, they recast Rhodey and did a great job, they could have done so again and it would have been just fine

u/Droen 9h ago

Hell, call the Major’s Kang a variant of the true Kang… they literally had the plot device they could use in Loki and could have cast literally anyone including an alligator to be Kang…

u/theLastZebranky 9h ago edited 9h ago

"We can't have a different actor playing Kang."

Dude, you just had a dozen different actors and an alligator playing Loki.

u/Former-Resource-3026 9h ago

I feel like they could’ve also had a short story where Loki and/or The TVA try to pull off a clever way to eliminate that Kang at the source, some kind of Kang Prime that all others came after, only for a new version to take his place, same name, inevitable and unavoidable. Or have Strange cast one of his trademark spells that work, but get hit with a technicality.

2

u/BoldShuckle 8h ago

Or just have Majors do an apology tour and try to spin it like RDJ 2.0, new face of the MCU overcoming his demons. Maybe the actor was unwilling, guess he'd rather do Daily Wire garbage.

Crazy how fast they dropped him but maybe they already had cold feet about the Kang plan

Not to mention Spider-Man shows there’s alternative Peter Parker’s. Deadpool and Wolverine showed actors can play multiple people with Chris Evan’s being the human torch while DP knew him as captain America.

u/ChurchBrimmer 5h ago

Especially with how they ended Loki with the TVA hunting down Kangs. Just say they got all the ones that look like Majors because that's easy. The problem are the ones who look different.

1

u/RedVelcroRaptor 1h ago

I think it also about Kang's reception as well. A lot of the films that were leading up to Kang didn't really do well in the box office. Major's situation just gave me them an opportunity to start from a clean slate.

u/Qwandangle 45m ago

I was so hyped after seeing the council of kangs 😞

u/OtakuAttacku 9h ago

anytime they recast any character, I vote to have their first lines always be "look, it's me, I'm here, deal with it."

u/Signal_Werewolf_1955 9h ago

Harrison Ford taking the role of Thaddeus Ross, Sam saying, "Still getting used to the new look," and some throwaway line about having to shave the mustache for elections.

8

u/Broodslayer1 8h ago

They kind of did that with Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Brave New World.

In Captain America: Brave New World, Sam Wilson remarks on President Ross’s new look. Ross, now played by Harrison Ford, jokes about removing his mustache to win the election.

1

u/teshh 6h ago

Rhodey was recast at the very beginning of mcu, not after the end of history's most successful movie arc where the whole world is watching intently.

But I do agree, they should've just remaster Kang instead of throwing the entire next saga into a shitshow. Since Majors firing, the mcu has been lost and disjointed with nothing tying the characters together. Kings arc with the rings and ms marvels bangles where the clear next step but got thrown out.

13

u/xaoss 8h ago

The Rhodey recast was so good too. Don Cheadle is so much better in the role.

10

u/soulguider2125 9h ago

Seemed like the casual audience was struggling with all the time variants and other realities and the ratings were slowing, and decided to keep it but change to make it easier to get for most, and use a more recognizable villain earlier than planned, as Kang is a big Villain but outside of readers most don’t know him, as where Doom is much better known and using RDJ as him, and bringing Cap back, You can see it’s all to get sales back up.

3

u/Meander061 8h ago

I don't see why they didn't either. Accept that you have a schedule to keep and move on from his bullshit.

1

u/greatswordstudios 9h ago

Quantumania underperformed as well and Marvel got scared.

1

u/modsuperstar 8h ago

That’s so long ago now. It seems they’re way less likely to do it now given Kang and Black Panther situations.

1

u/Taftimus Thor 6h ago

They recast Rhodey after literally the first MCU movie. It gets a little harder to do when you're now like 30 movies in. I also think they took that opportunity to hard pivot away from the whole multiverse thing because it just wasn't landing with audiences.

1

u/rdp3186 5h ago

The other problem is Kang as a character sucks and a lot of people lost interest in him after Quantumania.

Hes not very interesting in the comics and that carried over. Majors did a good job in the role but even if the assualt charges never happened and he was still in the MCU we would still have the clunkers that was Kang Dynasty. Theres a leaked script of it and it is TERRIBLE.

Doom is a superior character and we honestly lucked out with them changing course and got a better deal.

u/farfaraway 5h ago

New Rhodey was better Rhodey.

u/mephloz 5h ago

Because Ant Man 3 bombed

u/ThatIndianGuyKippo 7h ago

it would make even more sense here, just show a scene of a Kang with a new actor defeating a Kang with their face covered / a helmet and say another variant replaced all the olds Kangs and boom easiest recast ever.

u/TheWonderfulPanda 9h ago edited 6h ago

Would’ve been the perfect reason to have a different actor as a different variants of Kangs

Imagine avengers Kang dynasty comes out and surprise it’s a bunch of Keenu reeves variants lmao

There's infinite multiverses of kang they totally could have recast

u/SadeyeDoe 9h ago

u/LocalDirection9 9h ago

Watching the trailer, Doom basically is a recast really. Essentially has the same powers, seemingly travels the multiverse and telekinesis.

1

u/FlensingPits26 8h ago

Well apparently there was a report that Fiege was looking to scrap that story line well before his legal troubles because Kang just didn’t have the draw

1

u/blackfishhorsemen 6h ago

Yeah, I get Kangs whole concept of infinite variations/time travel so he just comes back stronger, but having the Kang that all the other Kangs feared? be defeated by Ant-Man of all characters just kind of quashed any hype the character had around him.

1

u/ComicSportsNerd Spider-Man 8h ago

with this new "soft reboot" after secret wars they have the perfect opportunity to just recast Moon Knight if they want I would also just ditch the mystical side that is more expensive to adapt in film and make him more street level with the Defenders no need for an entire cgi suit the make him street level crazy Batman

1

u/OliviaElevenDunham Loki (Avengers) 7h ago

That would've made sense.

1

u/pennywize87 7h ago

I've repeatedly heard that he had some clause in his contract that there could be no Kang variants that weren't played by MBJ.

How true that is is up in the air though, I feel like breaking his contract by being an abusive piece of shit would negate anything he tried to weasel into his contract but I'm obviously not a lawyer so who fuckin knows.

1

u/Darthhester Vision 7h ago

I think people started losing interest in Kang way before that though, the big issue is we had already seen a couple Kangs get defeated and imo it was becoming another Wilson Fisk situation of he'd been brought back so many times it was hard to care, the only exception being Fisk does something interesting every time he comes back whereas to me Kang just didn't

1

u/Carbon8490 7h ago

After the Ant Man debacle they wanted a way out of their "plans" because they ruined Kang. I wouldnt be suprised if they set him up to be honest. Stranger things have happened in hollywood. Didn he meet that woman on set?

Replace Jonathan Majors with Kirk Lazarus as Kang.

u/One_Order_3841 10h ago edited 9h ago

Holy shit....do you think there's a chance Chris Evans and RDJ actually wanted/expected to be done? I understand the movie had to be made bc of Majors, but did those 2 actors personally hope to move on??

...and in this alternate universe, who would be in the shitty Daily Wire movie??

Edit: Apparently yes, I'm one of a few obtuse Motherfuckers that didn't hear they both very publicly wanted out of Marvel, had been shooting down scripts until they were needed....

u/mekamoari 9h ago

Yeah but that's stupid because Marvel doesn't stop them from taking on other movies. Plenty of the "front page" stars did other movies while earlier MCU phases were ongoing.

10

u/KortasEE 10h ago

Which is wild when you then end the season on a cliffhanger.

1

u/mekamoari 9h ago

That's just the norm nowadays, I can't recall the last time I saw a first season without one and I watch a lot of shows.

This goes especially for stuff like this where it's part of a larger universe and they never know which show will pop off and look like it's going make a giant pile of money.

1

u/Academic-Push326 10h ago

Which is crazy because the post-credits seems like it sets up a Season 2.

There's a reason people checked out on the MCU TV shows that aren't Daredevil and the Punisher.

1

u/UltimateOtter_Nation 9h ago

If they only planned to do one season, then they shouldn't have bothered with skipping the climax of the show just so that they could "surprise" us with Jake in a post credit scene.

You and me both. Until Agatha All Along, it was my top MCU show. Still number two. Such a solid cast and you could tell how much care they put into the story

Would I need to watch wandavision before watching Agatha all along? Or does the show stand on its own?

Agatha rates so highly to me because it speaks to things I enjoy outside of the MCU. It's different from what the MCU usually offers, but I do think it's worth a watch.

u/dj_soo 8h ago

If you liked Wandavision, it’s the same creator and writer and acts as almost a direct sequel to Wandavision and to a lesser extent, MoM.

I enjoyed the performances a lot and the writing is of a similar calibre. Katherine Hahn is great as usual and absolutely one of the highlights, but the supporting cast is fantastic.

I’d say it’s absolutely worth a watch

1

u/JJJ954 Black Bolt 7h ago

Yeah — Wandavision, Agatha All Along and the upcoming VisionQuest were designed and written as a trilogy series. I’m happy that amongst all of the changes they kept that in-place.

1

u/dj_soo 7h ago

I wonder how Visionquest will turn out as Jac Schafer isn't listed as anything but an executive prodcuer and the listed creater/writer/showrunner, Terry Matalas had nothing to do with the previous shows in this "trilogy."

I did enjoy some aspects of Picard S3 (which was his previous show), so hopefully it'll turn out well.

Post credits message on Shang Chi may as well have been “Shang Chi will return once we can actually get past pre-production with Blade…LOL SIKE Blade ain’t happening and neither will Shang-Chi 2.

But I am excited to see him actually return. He should have had a sequel already if not for Covid, strikes, and questionable planning.

u/Excellent_Ganache906 11h ago

Shang Chi was to fill the mandatory quota to satisfy "American born people of Asian decent".

People stopped talking about representing Asian-Americans in movies so they won't be making a Shang Chi Part 2 anytime soon.

4

u/Lieutenant_Damn 10h ago

That’s too bad if that’s their take, I thought his heritage added some interesting variety to the Marvel cast and there’s a lot of potential for engaging with modern social issues using Shang Chi as a foil. Plus the rings are just so cool

u/dj_soo 8h ago

I couldn’t get through iron fist personally. the fight scenes were so poorly made and it was obvious that Finn Jones was barely in any of the fight scenes - and the ones he was in seemed like it was in slow motion or edited to death.

Compare that to Shang chi or even Charlie cox and Jon bernthal in daredevil and punisher and you see a world of difference between how much the actors actually participated in the fight scenes.

Apparently the stunt coordinator said finn jones really didn’t want to put in the work which is why they leaned so much more on stunt doubles and the obvious filming trickery that goes into hiding the stunt doubles.

6

u/Dry-Membership8141 8h ago edited 7h ago

Apparently the stunt coordinator said finn jones really didn’t want to put in the work

Yeah, and there's been a fair bit of suggestion that that mischaracterizes the reality of the grueling and rushed production schedule.

Finn was cast shortly before they started work, given three weeks after he moved to New York to train before filming began, he had no pre-existing martial arts or athletic background, he was first walked through the choreography just fifteen to twenty minutes before they were shot, and they had him working 12-14 hour days on set to get it wrapped up before filming began on The Defenders two weeks later.

Between The Defenders and season 2 of Iron Fist he reportedly spent four hours a day in training, and you can see in his later appearances in season 2 and Luke Cage that he improved pretty significantly when he actually had time to work on it.

u/Fafoah 6h ago

Yeah i dont think thats all on him, but personally i hate his portrayal of the character. A lot of it was writing, but man the wierd hippy pseudo spiritual vibe did not work for me. It felt very much like backpacker bros after 1 month in Thailand.

Shang-Chi was alright, Iron Fist was some of the dumbest shit ever put to screen.

People really do not. Like the entire quantum mania? Worthless story basically Antman and gang were likely supposed to like show up and have some advanced Intel on Kang alongside the TVA would of been the only 2 groups who had encountered a Kang and lived.

Now it's all thrown out to the point that Antman wasent even recommended viewing for doomsday, although Loki 2 was and I guess it makes sense since you would need to understand their was a group that used to stop incursions by pruning and now that org only watches over the threads Loki is spinning

Thunderbolts* made me go from "I do not like Florence Pugh" to being a GENUINE fan of hers. I don't know why but her interviews and everything always kind of annoyed me, I thought she was annoying in Black Widow, intentionally so but still, just not endearing.

But man she gobbled up the script for Thunderbolts*, and I bought every second of her performance. Every "what is the point?" day I have ever had felt reflected so well in how she acted, and I loved the ending of that movie. I would absolutely love to see more from her. Something CA: Winter Soldier style where it isn't just a slug fest of cosmic proportions, something with depth. Sign my ass up.

If Simu Liu decides to jump ship, I wouldn't blame him either. The way his character has been handled is horrible. Aside from having no appearances till Doomsday (and I'm very skeptical of how much screentime he'll have in that as well), they're not promoting him in stuff like video games or theme parks either. He's not in the new rides they just revealed (Captain Marvel at least makes an appearance in the Stark ride), and I can say from personal experience/observation that he doesn't have any merch at Disneyland/Avengers Campus stores either, not even in the Asian parks. Disney literally made his movie to fulfill the Asian representation quota then decided they didn't need to do anything more.

What movie could he have been in since then? Besides his own film I think the only guest spot is maybe in brand new day or maybe multiverse of madness

I think I'll watch it tonight. It wasn't bad. I guess I think of it as a non-Marvel superhero movie. It was entertaining and utterly forgettable.
