It's certainly possible. Working with Taika really reinvigorated him in terms of the character and the franchise(s) as a whole, so his status right now is anyone's guess.

DeWanda Wise Exits ‘Captain Marvel’ Role

Quote

DeWanda Wise is no longer attached to Disney’s Captain Marvel, the MCU superhero tentpole that stars Brie Larson. Scheduling conflicts with her Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It are the culprit here, we’re told by sources close to the production.

[JessePinkman]

Damn that sucks. I was wondering what she was alluding to on her Instagram about having a bad week.

Lashana Lynch Replacing DeWanda Wise in 'Captain Marvel'

Quote

Lashana Lynch is in final negotiations to replace DeWanda Wise in Captain Marvel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. 

The English actress would be joining the Marvel Studios feature after Wise had to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts with the second season of Netflix and Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It.

Marvel could not be reached for comment.

So I just watched BP for the 3rd time. And it struck me at the end how similar this was to Civil War. You have T'Challa and W'Kabi, close friends turned against each other oh so quickly. With a group that usually lives in a harmony now fighting each other over with each believes to be the right thing to do. There's even dead parents thrown in! This gives me hope that T'Challa is going to play in getting Steve and Tony to reconcile. I have half baked fanfic bouncing around my head right now about the aftermath of the fight between the Border tribe and the Dora Milaje/Jabari. Such as T'Challa and the council determining that the River tribe will spend a certain amount of time in disgrace, before being forgiven. And that W'Kabi will do similar but ultimately they are all Wakandans and no one is a bad person here but simply that they must work together better in the future.

^^Well, hell.  The 3:50 mark!  I'm going to have to bring tissues to IW.*  The fans' kids practically grew up with these characters (my 10 year old boy is now a 20 year old young adult!).  The adult fans grew old with them.  Our family tradition was to go to an evening show on opening weekend.  I missed one in all those years (but saw it the Monday afternoon after it opened) and my son, who now has a new job and doesn't feel like he's had enough time to request certain days off yet (welcome to adult life, right?), missed Black Panther with us and will be seeing IW with friends on his day off as close to opening weekend as possible.  All in all, not a bad run for us. 

I can not believe that a grown ass woman is so involved with fictional movie characters and you know what? I'm only slightly embarrassed by it.  Kudos to everyone involved for doing accomplishing that. 

*My daughter has a friend who is convinced that the only survivors are T'Challa, Peter Parker, Bucky and maybe Peter Quill and some of his crew.    I told her that if they do that, I'll be a sobbing mess for the rest of the night  :)

Okay, this might be a controversial question. But what's the appeal of Bucky? I've seen the three CA movies, and he just didn't have an affect on me. Sebastian Stan is fine, he doesn't stink up the screen or anything. But I haven't seen anything that makes him stand out or leave a big impression. So I'm asking his fans, what's the deal?

[HunterHunted]

I think Bucky's appeal lies in his relationship with Steve. They had a relationship before Steve became Captain America and before all of this Winter Soldier biz. The same way Steve's relationship with Peggy is appealing because you can tell she was already softening to him before the experiment. These are his pre-Cap people. They were diehard for him before. They were diehard for him after. Steve missed out on a romantic relationship with Peggy, but has an opportunity to recapture a friendship with Bucky.

Because of his backstory, I think a lot of people who feel marginalized, particularly for mental health issues, feel a strong kinship and identification with the character's struggles, how he's treated, and how he feels about himself (which is another reason why a lot of us love Steve, because of how much he gets about Bucky and how he supports him and just loves him), and this is tremendously enhanced by SS himself, and how he plays the character, and also who he (the actor) is as a person off screen.  SS is an extremely empathetic person off screen which it's illustrated in how he treats his fans and what he says in his interviews, and I thinks it's a large part of why he's able to bring such humanity to the character, which many of us just get on an instinctive level.

Who are you telling? I've been watching Sebastian Stan since before he was on Gossip Girl playing Carter Bazien, which I clearly watched. I watched him on Law & Order where he played kidnapped sniper, Justin Capshaw. This is an episode that coincidentally featured Ty Burrell who would portray Dr. Leonard Samson in the Incredible Hulk. I knew back then that Sebatian Stan was one to watch. I watched him in the Covenant, which some how cast a ton of young hot actors, but still managed to be terrible. I watched him in Kings and Political Animals (aka What If Hillary Clinton Divorced Bill to Run Against Barack Obama in 2012). But I also knew Michael B. Jordan was one to watch from back in his All My Children days. I'd say the Wire too, but I actually saw the Wire after he had started on AMC.

eta:  The reason I'm asking is because I think every fictional character is essentially a symbol of something in the creator's imagination.  So, I'm not sure why that would make Bucky's popularity different from any of the other MCU characters?

And for me, that's obvious in one line:  "I knew him".  I agree with everything you and @HunterHunted said.  Bucky is one of my favorites because of who he is to Steve, what was done to him and what that means to both of them, as well as others, at a personal level.  He's definitely one of the more sympathetic characters, imo.  As amazing as Tom Hiddleston has been at bringing depth to Loki, his story still doesn't move me like Bucky's does.

Disney to Launch "Marvel TV Channel"

Not only could Marvel (with a small acknowledgement to Disney) make a streaming channel

with all of their previous properties, the fact that DC is currently working on their own

streaming channel will actually necessitate Marvel to come up with their own.

The only problem that I see is, of course, the more recent movies (and characters)

that were under the banner of the other movie companies like Sony would probably not

be made available for the Disney streaming channel.

[HunterHunted]

Steve and Bucky are such interesting contrasts. Steve volunteered for the super soldier program, but followed orders and became a symbol over a soldier until he was goaded into action by Bucky's capture. Bucky was forced into the Winter Soldier program, but voluntarily tried to keep himself off the grid when he realized what he was being forced to do. They are both good guys, but I'm sort of always wowed that the decades of death, carnage, and torture hasn't destroyed Bucky's fundamental deceny.

In Civil War, Bucky says something about the authorities always coming after him. This tells us that he's run at least one time before. Even though Steve reminds Bucky that Bucky is being too harsh in repelling the authorities, we've got to realize that as the Winter Soldier, Bucky wouldn't have been trained or programmed with any nonlethal techniques. Running was his nonlethal response.

▪▪▪▪▪

In another comparison, all of Odin's kids are kind of douchebags. Some of them get less douchey as time progresses, but they all start as jerks. Thor starts off as a dumb bro-y douche who thinks he can solve all of his problems with punching. He becomes less douchey as time progresses. Loki is a scheming jealous jerk who really only starts to get more sympathetic in the Dark World. And Hela is angry that her father encouraged her ambition and violence until he found it monstrous and imprisoned her and lied about her existence. She straight up never gets better. And each one of his kids has proposed genocide at least once--Thor for the Jotuns, Loki for humans, and Hela for everyone everywhere.

Thanos might be the worst father in the MCU, but Odin is no slouch.

Well, I don't know about the Marvel TV channel but Disney did put out release yesterday that the superheroes were coming to the parks. Interestingly enough, Disney World was not included in that. Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Tokyo (I think... maybe Hong Kong) are all getting Marvel lands. Disney World is probably a trickier situation given Universal Islands of Adventure.

But for all of us saying that the Imagineers were champing at the bit to start designing Wakanda... hells yes. It's happening. Among other things, I'm sure. And this just causes further strife for me because I disagree with a LOT that Disney does but then they keep building stuff that I want to see. And then they piss me off and it's...

Marvel made a perpetual agreement with Universal that Universal would have exclusive use of all Marvel Character for theme parks east of the Mississippi.  Although Marvel has to approve any changes or additions involving those characters.  I believe Disney was (at least for a time) no longer approving anything in hopes that Universal would make a deal which obviously hasn't happened yet.

Yes, the relationship between Bucky and Steve is extremely important especially as it pertains to the modern day. Steve lost everything to war and time and, as it turns out, Bucky survived. In a way, you can see Steve losing himself (especially in the deleted scenes from Avengers where he's just wandering around Manhattan or looking through the old SSR files) and as much as Steve found a cause with the Avengers (although it's been sketchy with SHIELD) discovering Bucky was alive... and what HYDRA did to him... made it all very personal. And you could get the sense through Winter Soldier and Civil War that Steve wanted to bring his friend, who he thought he had failed to save, home at long last. It's very poignant.

And yes... 'recapture a friendship' ::eyebrow waggle:: Oh, whatever. I'm full on Stucky trash. We all know it.

Bucky is something of a symbol, too. He is the forgotten POW vet struggling to recapture any kind of sense in his life. He went from this cocky, charming guy in the 40s to a broken down shell. And he was a good person. He was one of the very few who loved little, angry, how-does-he-even-get-out-of-bed Steve and saw value in him before he got the serum. And the fact that he is the only one left who did see value in Steve Rogers long before Captain America is just one reason why Steve was so intent on saving him. And also why you could see that Steve still saw Bucky Barnes and not the Winter Soldier. The parallel between them and their stories run deep. It's good stuff.

Loki is the God of Mischief. And also the God of Being Really Douchey and Genocidal Due to Jotun-Pain. Hiddleston is wildly charming and charismatic but Loki's a douche. Full on and flat out. He staged a coup and sent the Destroyer out to kill Thor because his feelings were hurt... by Odin adopting him and not telling him where he came from. Um... okay. So, Loki's a villain. A damn entertaining one but still a villain. Even in Ragnarok he's trying to betray Thor and hand him over to the Grandmaster so, yeah. Meanwhile, Bucky as the Winter Soldier. Not a villain. Not even close. Not after you see what HYDRA did to him and continued to do to him throughout the Winter Soldier.

That Bucky was trying to put the pieces of his shattered memory together in Civil War... that Stan felt that the only reason Bucky didn't eat a bullet was because he knew it would hurt Steve... that Steve went to subdue Bucky and then protect him when he realized he wasn't responsible for the bombing in CW and that, ultimately, even as it was breaking his heart, Steve stepped back and let Bucky make the choice regarding cryo and protecting others from what HYDRA did to him because it was Bucky finally getting to choose something for himself. Yeah, their relationship, their friendship, it means a lot to the MCU at large.

Absolutely, I agree... but the original poster seemed to be making a distinction between a "symbol" and an "actual character" and that he was one, but not the other.  I wasn't sure what they meant by that.  One of the strongest character elements for me, which was on display quite a bit in CW, is the fact that he's a long-term former POW and a disabled war veteran.  And it seems like that might be explored more in IW, especially since Seb has said Bucky and Sam will be spending significant time together in IW, so I'm definitely looking forward to that!

So terrible. The main love interest was completely damseled. It reminds me of a Chuck Palahniuk reading I went to years ago. Someone asked a question about Marla Singer in Fight Club. Palahniuk admitted that he wrote Marla in because he wasn't out yet and he didn't want the narrator (Ed Norton's character in the film) and Tyler to come across as gay. It clearly didn't work in the Covenant because no amount of half naked love interests could make any of those characters seem unassailably straight.

I hadn't realized how few lines Stan had in Winter Soldier. That Stan and Evans could sell this conflicted relationship with so few lines is a testament to them both.

I actually think DC has enough properties to launch a streaming service, especially if they can bring the currently airing shows to the service in a year or two. They've got 10 years of Smallville, the Timmverse (8 tv shows and 4 movies), the animated films (30 films), Lois & Clark, Birds of Prey, Superboy, Batman, the other animated shows (Teen Titans, Brave and the Bold, Beware the Batman, The Batman, Teen Titans Go, Young Justice, Green Lantern, and everything I'm missing), all of the new shows they are developing, and all of the DCEU. If they can add older seasons of the current airing tv shows, it absolutely makes sense to have a DC streaming service.

There are some weird clauses to that deal though. Disney is allowed to use characters in Florida that have never been featured in movies or tv shows, and if the do use those characters they aren't allowed to reference that they are Marvel characters.

I don't think Thor is still putting in effort with Loki.

By Ragnarok he's completely written Loki off; and even when the rest of The Revengers are escaping Sakaar, Loki is only included because of his info, not because Thor is feeling particularly empathetic. And when Loki betrays him, yet again, Thor leaves him essentially to die.

Giles, much like Thor, totally believes that Ethan could be redeemed. Which is why Giles doesn't kill him whenever he has the chance. The difference is Ethan, unlike Loki, isn't beset by middle child syndrome and incessant Daddy issues which is Loki's perpetual achilles heel. Yet, for all of Ethan's shenanigans, he never truly really tries to harm Giles. If Giles weren't so busy attempting to ignore his own darker impulses and notorious past, he wouldn't be as hostile toward Ethan who, when not in immediate danger, is quite affable toward Giles imo.

Loki isn't given excuses. Nobody in the MCU, including Thor, makes excuses for what Loki's done. At the end of Ragnarok, when Thor says they're headed back to Earth, Loki, himself, questions if it's a wise idea to bring him along.

It's like acne, being a backstabber is something he can't help.

[Shannon L.]

As someone who knows nothing about the Marvel Comics, I'm wondering if we'll see Loki redeem himself (or the writers attempting to redeem him) in IW by dying to save Thor?  Just a thought.....

@Dandesun, I should have been more specific in my post re: Loki.  His story doesn't move me because the whole jealousy and "wah, wah, you didn't tell me about my birth right" stuff is a bit ridiculous.  However you see Odin as a father, he didn't leave a baby to die, so that's something and Loki's so ungrateful it's maddening.  Yes, Hiddleston is not only charming, but is really good at making you understand the complex feelings that Loki had throughout the movies he's been in.

Beast, because I actually think he works slightly better as an Avenger. He just works well anywhere, what a great character that has yet to be done justice onscreen.

The Young Avengers, it would be really neat to see kids who've grown up with the Avengers in universe start their own team (maybe not with that name). Because that would be fun for the kids who've grown up with the MCU in the real world and is definitely something that would happen if the Avengers were real. I actually wish they would have made Cassie Lang a little older so it could happen sooner than later but whatever, that's fine.
