When tweeted if he’d ever include The Thing, Iron Man, Kitty Pride, or Agent Venom in a future iteration of the Guardians, Gunn replied:
As of today, I wouldn’t find adding any of those characters interesting. I really am more of a fan of the [Dan] Abnett/[Andy] Lanning stuff as opposed to the stuff that came after the movie or first screenplay.

Not that I doubt him, but I do find it kind of weird to see him say he's more of a fan of the Abnett/Lanning Guardians given how different his take on the team and their stories is from that run :sweat:.

Yeah, from that group of characters, I feel like they would all work better in other films. I don't think they could add much to the Guardians team at the moment.

1/14: Yeah, I think that takeaway from that is Gunn like's old school stuff and will take inspiration from that than look at the current runs.

1/23: Russo Brothers still have Avengers on their plates but said their relationship with Marvel has been the strongest of their career and they are open to doing more movies with them.

It's good to know that they're relationship with Marvel is strong and that they're willing to do more films in the MCU :).

I doubt they'd want to approach another Avengers movie, though they'd be my top pick for Black Widow ;).

President of Marvel Entertainment Dan Buckley conveys they will continue to choose different networks and platforms for content so it doesn't look like everything will be sent to the Disney Streaming Service.
I actually think that's ridiculous. I cannot subscribe to all of those platforms and Marvel is dumb to think that I should. They should find one service and release everything there.

1/25: There were plans to visit Wakanda several times before BP but they were scrapped.

If I recall, there were some Wakanda concept art attached to Age of Ultron.

1/30: Feige stresses they aren't thinking about X-Men and FF yet since everything is 'still being figured out' - legalities - and Marvel is focusing on the current slate announced up to 2019. It won't be years until they show up. Nothing has been adjusted in any of the movies in development for them.

Depending on how things even out with Phase 4, I'm curious to see how long before they might start integrating the X-Men and FF, if they even do at all...

They could end Avengers 4 with a teaser of Galactus ordering Silver Surfer to find a planet worthy of his appetite. But that's the ever optimistic fanboy in me.

I'm also curious how long they will wait and if waiting means the current X-Men brain trust has more time to make movies and non-canon shows.

Fantastic Four seems to be the easiest characters to add to this. If anything, they’ll be added before the X-Men.

Ryan Coogler revealed early drafts of "Black Panther" had the debut of Patriot/Elijah Bradley but they decided to focus on Wakanda.
Eli appearing here would've been a little odd given he's more connected to the Captain America mythos, but it would've been nice to see him (and add another Young Avenger to the MCU) :).

Of course, given how Marvel has made a concerned effort to downplay him in the comics, I'm wondering if they really would have been allowed to use him...

Indeed, that would've been a little much.

I found it intriguing if only because AOS had their own Patriot in Jeffrey Mace and Project Patriot program for season 4.

Given the current dealings, I'm sure Disney/Marvel would be very interested in getting the full rights to Spider-Man back...

I have to lay low for awhile. I need to take a break from this for right now, but I'll be back soon.
Bought Cat City (1986) on Prime today. Never seen it before, looking forward to watching it!
Super Metroid on the SNES turns 30 today in North America.
The sub-only anime releases in North America are the invention of the 2010s.
Not all of Family Guy has aged well (and he knows this - hell, he's friends with the PTC president now) but I genuinely think Seth MacFarlane is a really good guy.
