I watched Infinity War the other night too. Loved it all over again. The fact that pretty much every hero was given moments to shine is immensely impressive.

Also just watched Into the Spiderverse with my little one. He adored every second and was in real hysterics at points - especially Spiderham!

Galactus is the obvious choice.

Venture Bros ruined Fantastic Four for me anyway. Their parody is so spot on.

Richards is an chaveaunist egomanic that makes the other's lives a misery.
Sue Storm is invisible because she is so browbeaten.
The Thing is a simpleton.
The Human Torch has been trapped in a glass case by Richards and exists purely as a generator for their building.

I thought Skrull was an obvious choice too. Like, they could have infiltrated since the 90s and you find out over xx number of films who is and who isn’t secretly Skrull.

But then, they sort of changed the narrative with them in Cap Marv, and they sort of did that whole story with Hydra...

Annihilus* was talked about for a while as being in Endgame, maybe that’s where you go?

Edit: *Misspelling.

If they're bringing X-People into it that gives them a fair few more options (eg Avengers vs X-Men). They're only very loosely based around the comics, so they can do what they like really. There has already been a Galactus invasion in one of the abysmal FF films and I'd have thought the all-powerful extra-terrestrial invader is a bit played out now. But what isn't?

The best crossover arcs for me are either the smaller scale stuff that doesn't have literally everyone coming together, or the alternate universe ones like Age of Apocalypse. They could do the original Secret Wars if they just want a one and done team up movie.

They need to just start the FF movie with the shuttle launching, and them being dragged through some cosmic shit, ending in the Negative Zone. Blastarr can be the main enemy with whispers of Annihilus in the background.

Sets up FF without wondering why any other NY based heroes aren't helping, and establishes Annihilus as a future threat.

How to bring the X-Men in will be the most difficult unless they McGuffin it with the Infinity Gauntlet.

"Many More Mutants!"

I suspect that going forward, Marvel are going to go down a multiverse route.

I can’t see them going full on with an X-Men reboot anytime soon, although that doesn’t stop them laying the groundwork and introducing elements of the X universe into the next wave of the MCU.

I think after end game a few palette cleansers are going to be needed anyway.

Yeah they wrote all of the next phase without any of the new licenses. I think we’ll be seeing Nova et al first.

I hope, anyway. PLEASE SILVER SURFER.

They’ve got 80 years of stories to mine.

The cinematic universe has barely scratched the surface.

The original infinity gauntlet run was 28 years ago, it was by no means the last “event” comic.

Yep, and when you see 17 AMCs in America are going to be opening for 96 hours straight from Friday and the tracking numbers are suggesting a $300 mill domestic weekend only maybe it's actually the smartest plan.

Unless you want to see Dumbo.

I'm going to the biggest screen in Ireland (in certain aspect ratios) on opening night at 20:00.

65ft x 25ft

It also has Dolby Atmos sound which is awesome.

Two more sleeps.

Screen 1 in IMC Carlow.

Called the Galactic screen.

I’ve got the double bill at the Milton Keynes IMAX, so it’s going to be a late one on Wednesday night / Thursday morning.
