I feel like we needed a place to aggregate all the recent news and theories regarding the MCU. Lots of new information coming out between CA2 and Agents of SHIELD. Plus news on Agent Carter, the Netflix deals, and upcoming films. Feel free to link what you like, ask what you want, and speculate on everything. And my personal favorite thing, tell us who you want cast as your favorite characters.

I wonder if Hydra will be a big enemy in the Next Avengers. It seems it's setting up for that with the Baron and take over of Shield. I just wonder what will go on between now and next summer in the MCU.

Good stuff. I've said it before: the MCU needs to get people used to new characters quickly. If RDJ is really done with Iron Man after a couple of Avenger movies, we need a new Stark. I like RDJ a lot in the role, but I like Iron Man more. Just like with Cap though, I'd take War Machine in a couple of films, but I doubt that means a solo IM outing.

The fact that Bettany is playing both Jarvis and Vision suggests a link between Stark and Ultron's origin. However in The Winter Soldier with the introduction of Dr. Zola as a computer, is it possible he isn't really destroyed and that is part of Ultron's origin? THis would fit if Hydra is to play a major part in the nexts Avengers.

One thing that occured to me regarding the marvel cinematic properties as a whole is this:

Do you think that in some ways Marvel benefited from having other studios do some of their early major movies? Here's my thought process:

- Marvel got to see what other studios did right (and there was some good stuff in the Spidey and X-Men movies). They also got to see what other studios did wrong (some Spidey and X-Men stuff and of course of lot in FF and maybe everything in Daredevil).

- There are so many marvel propergties that I think it might have been difficult for Marvel to cover all of them and do them all justice from the get go. Might have just been too much.

Of course having said all that, I would like to see all the properties back under the Marvel banner. But it doesn't seem like that it too likely with the more popular properties that other studios have the rights to.

What do ya'll think?

Also

frick Bryan Singer, Marvel U should just take Cyclops over.

Please o please. Pull a Quicksilver and just make him a miracle, make him an enemy, etc. Would be awesome.

So in terms of next characters to see in films, now that Ant-Man is out there in public. My list:

1. Dr. Strange ( Can support his own film)
2. Black Panther (Can either support his own film, or Wakanda can be the location for a Cap movie)
3. Wonder Man - Although he might make a better TV show
4. Captain Marvel - Carol is such a great character
5. Moon Knight - Just pure awesome
6. Mockingbird - Would be a great side character post-Widow

There are a ton to choose from but these would be my tops for both favorite heroes (Moon Knight) and ability to fill a role that will lack someone (Mockingbird), or just because it will be awesome on screen (Strange and Black Panther)

I am not sure about the Marvel Cinematic Universe but I have a feeling that with Loki's staff in the hands of Hydra (as seen in Captain America: The Winter Solider mid credit scene) I think that Phil Coulson and company from Agents of Shield will be given the assignment to hunt that staff down and will serve as the major story arc of next season. The ending of Agents of Shield Season 2 would fall in line for the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron
