    I think he was referring to them being unsellable when Marvel was piecemeal selling the rights of their properties to stay afloat. Why didn't Fox or Sony or whoever buy Cap/Thor/Hulk/Strange if they were so popular/such valuable properties?

    They could honestly build an entire X-Men world independent of the Avengers in the same vein with individual origin movies leading to a team up and then have them crossover into movies with the Avengers and a big team-up event.

    Outside of Spider-Man, the X-Men were definitely the most valuable. I won't argue that for a second. I just don't think the Tier 1 characters were unsellable. I'm not an executive at Fox, but I'm going to assume they figured they had unlocked enough of the Marvel characters to not need to pay for more. And they should have had enough.

    they totally weren't unsellable. I'm assuming Fox was content with X-Men, Spider-Man, and FF

    give me Idris Elba as Bishop. But, hopefully he's in an X-Force film

    I think there are enough actors out there that nobody should be playing multiple characters (except Josh Brolin).

    Assuming they’ll go full reboot and recast everyone, Xavier seems like a good character to recast as black

    Phase 4 movie - someone tell me if this should be deleted

    I don't know how this ties in with the comics compared to what's happened so far in the MCU, so spoilered.

    Eternals movies starts filming later this year, apparently. With Angelina Jolie as Sersi.

    Recency bias says Cap, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, etc were valuable properites.

    They weren't selling big on the racks and no one wanted to touch making movies about them. Various attempts were in development over the years but they all stalled out because no one knew what to do with them. Also special effects weren't where they needed to be to make someone like Dr. Strange work.

    Look at the original Avengers line up. The average person maybe knew WHO Captain America was but he was a joke. His name is "Captain America," I mean come on. Iron Man was invisible to the casual viewer. Same with Hawkeye and Black Widow. If you showed a picture of Thor to people on the street in 2004 they 90% wouldn't have even known his name. The only one anyone knew was the Hulk and that was thanks to the TV show that was very very unlike the comics. Hulk was the only one to get a theatrical release prior to the MCU and it was an artistically made dud that barely made its money back, if that.

    Don't even get me started on the total obscurity of the Phase two line-up. Guardians of the Galaxy? Are you kidding?

    And it wasn't just the average ticket-buyer (which, in this case, is all important). Marvel comics were selling horribly in the 90's and early 2000's, with three exceptions: Spider-Man, X-Men (various runs) and the big crossover team-up stuff. No one was buying Iron Man comics, no one was buying Cap comics. No one was buying Thor comics. Shoot, DareDevil was selling more copies than Thor, Cap, and Iron Man COMBINED in the first half of the 2000s.

    Kevin Feige (with a big assist by Jon Favreau, RDJ, and Joss Whedon) built the MCU in a cave with a box of scraps.

    I remember playing the falcon games as a wee lad in the early 90s and knowing full well who these guys were. Granted, they might not have been as popular but I’m sure more people knew who they were than you are giving credit...

    35, and I wasn't taking into account kids but casual audiences (18-35 demographic). A kid will always know more characters due to video games, cartoon shows, and other tie-ins, but the fact is no one was buying the comics and the casual audience didn't know those characters, meaning the movies had little to no box office foundation to build on.

    X-Men has such great characters. They could do standalone movies on Bishop, magneto, cyclops, *cough* gambit, rogue, storm, etc.

    Important to note: my iPhone changed to cyclops to clay lips before correcting.

    After they brought back the classic Spider-Man theme song for the MCU movie, I'm 100% confident we'll get a variant of the X-Men TV show.

    And I will headbang.

    I think it’d be cool if they slowly introduced X-Men characters before they started branching into their own movies. We could see Rogue in a Captain Marvel 2, Storm in a Black Panther 3, Mags could appear in the SW series, etc.

    Time travel should play a big part in introducing the X-Men.

    Bishop should be the one to do it too. Create a storyline where Bishop is introduced in the future (and maybe not identical to the DOFP story) but he must travel back to warn the current MCU of what is ahead.

    Within the story you introduce a couple of X-Men characters that he must save/kill -- Bishop vs. Cable would be awesome. Cable would know Bishop from the future (in this story) and Deadpool, maybe Black Panther, Ant-Man, whoever would be involved somehow.

    Doesn't matter who's involved from the current MCU -- so much depth and talent to write a new story.

    My old IT guy just posted this on FB, no spoiler.
    "
    While rewatching all of the MCU movies in preparation for Avengers Endgame, and I really hope that his arc, for Chris Evans and for Captain America, that the character doesn't die, but comes full circle.

    Peggy Carter tells him that he owes her a dance "Next week at the Stork Club" before he's lost in the ice and wakes up 70 years later. If time travel is used to defeat Thanos (as has been speculated), then Steve can "retire" and meet Peggy at the Stork club and live out the rest of his life back in his own time with Peggy.

    They never actually say who she married after the War, so it could be an older Steve Rogers (which would give her shock to see a young Steve on her death bed a whole different meaning). I hope this is how it ends,"

    I love that idea.
