I didn't know Bill Murray was in this.

The movies have been average post End Game, so hoping this fares better.

Kang looks surprisingly comic book accurate. Looks good to me.

Looks like 2 hours of greenscreen. I think after all these films I’m all marvelled out. Maybe it’s just me but all these comic book movies have resulted in a dumbed down cinema experience these days.

I think I’m getting old. Lol.

Definitely film makers being lazy, not getting actors down to atomic size, jumping space/time etc etc biggrin

I get your point, but cinema's primary goal is to be entertaining. So if it hits that mark, then it's succeeded.

Some would say that the base material, comics, are dumbed down books. I can see that angle, but there's a space for everything. Plenty of books and high-brow cinema out there.

Trailer looks pretty good and it seems to be a lot more promising than most of the recent crop of Marvel films and shows ... but then it is a trailer and designed to make the product that it's promoting look at its best.... Hope that the latest version of Kang comes off more menacing than the one in Loki where the portrayal was a bit goofy (maybe to show he was the least evil version of Kang).

I quite like the Ant-Man movies. Literally smaller scale than most of their peer MCU movies but quite enteraining and comic book-y.

I think this will kick start the phase properly. there will be links made to other super heroes it'll be something like kang comes to our universe rather than being stuck in his

my theoretical spoiler

Shang Chi is already linked in the trailer - in their post credit scene in the ten rings they say its a beacon, similar rings are shown in the trailer. Cassie invents that machine thats sending out a signal into the quantum universe. this will also link to ms marvel's bracelet which is also a beacon to help inter dimension travel. this will be stuff sent out years ago by kang.

i will be honest i'm looking forward to this movie more than black panther 2

I have to agree, I can't even begin to imagine why adults would want to watch stuff based on a load of silly kids' comics.

Probably becuase the real world is full of wars, recession, rampant inflation and folks generally being aholes to each other.

Bit of brain out escapism where the baddies get their comeuppance and the goodies win.

I took my son to see the new black panther. It was terrible, but we had fun day out.

Whilst I like Marvel films (though none of the recent ones very much), the over-use of effects to create action which takes place in alternate worlds, or pretty much most of any Dr Strange film, leaves me really cold. It’s uninvolving and tiring to watch.

It’s lucky we all like different things isn’t it?

I think horror films are pointless, why would I pay to be scared when there are dodgy bits of town I can go to for free. So I don’t go see horrror films.

The bit I never get is why people go to see MCU films if CGI is not your thing, everyone knows what they’re getting surely?
