Black Widow will be a prequel...meh.
Dr. Strange more multiverse...barf.
Jane Foster Thor...ugh...that was not a very good run in the books. All the character retread power swapping stuff is old. How many more Spider Man renditions do we need? Not a fan of Beta Ray Bill etc either...just leave it as an Easter egg and move along. This stuff makes the original characters and “new” Thor’s / Spider Men stale. I’d rather see some actual character development other than power swapping / sharing to any large extent.
Everything else is just underwhelming in general without some apparent good stories to send these characters on. The ph4 announcement lacked much info on the stories...it’s just an announcement of upcoming projects of characters. And so far...the little info about plots so far just isn’t compelling yet.
Baron Zemo villain going forward...that has potential.
I think those are some interesting takes. I'm ultimately an X-Men guy, so by the time they get reintroduced, it's likely gonna be a function of the weird stuff I read in this week's House of X series.
While many of these characters are not among my favorites growing up, Marvel has shown a propensity to just flat out put good product on the screen.
I think Eternals will be interesting, but not sure how they fit in to the bigger story.
The TV shows will keep the Avengers warm while they figure out the team's next configuration.
I can kinda see your point on Thor, but after Thor Ragnarok, I gotta jut have some faith.
With the Marvel movies, I focus more on whether they're telling good stories with characters I'm familiar with, more than an accurate retell of the comics. They haven't let me down yet and that's with plenty of characters that may not be top of my list.
