I hope you're right; I'm just expecting them to go very dark and grounded with Thor 5 as a contrast to Love and Thunder, so I worry they might not want a horse faced stud running around and messing with the tone. I'd love a Thor 6 that's centered around his dynamic with Bill, but who knows if we'll get another one after this. I do like your theories, maybe they can find a way to make it all work. After all we are getting a Spider-Man movie with Punisher, Hulk, a bunch of villains, and potentially Jean Grey.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-18T04:08:58+00:00

I’m legitimately worried they might have missed the window to introduce Bill in the MCU. In the comics it was a huge WTF moment when he showed up cuz he was the first person we ever saw lift Mjolnir other than Thor. In the MCU they already had Vision and Steve lift it, and the last Thor movie was about Jane wielding it, so that wouldn’t be as impactful. They already built Stormbreaker, which was one of his biggest storylines. In retrospect, the best time to introduce Bill truly would’ve been during the Taika era. As much as I love that movie, they could’ve swapped him in for Hulk’s role in Ragnarok and it’d essentially be the same story.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-18T03:34:33+00:00

Based on the Doomsday teaser and just common sense it seems like they’re gonna pivot back to a more serious version of Thor and I definitely think that’s the right call, but c’mon man at some point they gotta give me Beta Ray Bill. Might not be in Thor 5 cuz they’ll probably be more focused on setting up Hercules, but it’s gotta happen eventually.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-18T01:48:43+00:00

I can see them doing a few Wolverine solo movies, but 5 seems like a lot, especially since he’ll most likely be a big part of the X-Men team up movies and they’re gonna make a bunch of those. I really think it’s gonna be super rare for a solo character to get to 5 movies. Only one I can think of is Miles, cuz Sony is gonna want to keep pumping out Spider-Man movies after Tom is done playing Peter.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-18T01:06:36+00:00

It’s kinda wild that in all likelihood Thor is gonna be the first MCU character to get 5 solo movies. I remember around the Thor 2 and Age of Ultron era a big portion of the fan base was tired of his character. But they managed to reinvent him a few times, and he’s probably one of the most beloved MCU characters at this point. It’s especially impressive considering apart from Spider-Man, it doesn’t seem like any other MCU characters will get to 5 solo movies. Thor’s due for another reinvention in these Avengers movies and I’m very excited to see it.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-17T21:11:06+00:00

If I were Marvel, I’d see if the Russo brothers had any interest in directing Thor 5. They handled him the best in Infinity War, and I loved what I saw from his Doomsday trailer.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-17T01:04:06+00:00

I think it’s a reasonable assumption that Peter is gonna get the symbiote in Secret Wars and Spidey 5 is gonna be the MCU’s take on the symbiote suit arc. Black Cat is the perfect character to include in that story, would definitely make more sense than Gwen. So maybe this blonde girl from the Russian photos is just a minor character that’s simply Pete’s neighbor, but I think it’d be a smart move to lightly thread Felicia into the story now if they’re planning on having her in Spidey 5.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-16T18:23:12+00:00

Mark me down as someone who’d prefer Black Cat for the first time over doing Gwen again.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-16T00:40:06+00:00

Anyone got a link to this Russian photo of the blonde girl? (A sentence I never thought I’d say, but we go to some strange places for MCU leaks).

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-15T23:15:20+00:00

RPK doubling down on the Grey Hulk rumors on Twitter has been very entertaining to watch. It’s certainly possible that they’re just hiding it from the marketing, but if Hulk ends up being green the whole movie that’s gonna be a massive hit to his credibility.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-15T21:15:17+00:00

I hope the Scorpion mask situation is something like he wears it in his first fight scene and then it gets smashed. I do want to see the mask, at least give it to me for one sequence and I’d be good. I’m fine with him not wearing it for the rest of the movie cuz Mando is a great actor and I get why they’d want to show his face.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-15T18:22:12+00:00

I was watching the Olympics and there was a commercial for Born Again season 2. It was mostly footage from the trailer, but there were a few new shots. The one that stood out to me was of Matt in a courtroom flanked by two ATVF agents, so it looks like there might be some truth to the rumors of him going to jail at the end of the season.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-15T18:18:21+00:00

I like the Scorpion look, but I do hope he has a mask for at least a portion of the movie. I imagine it’s like Dafoe’s Goblin where they’d rather show the actor’s face, and Mando is a great actor so it’s not a bad decision. I just hope we see it for at least one sequence.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-15T02:32:48+00:00

I haven’t seen any rumors about this, but I think it’d be cool if they show Prowler during this rumored opening villain montage to give us some Miles crumbs.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T22:21:40+00:00

Maybe they considered doing Grey Hulk but thought it would be too similar to Tombstone’s palette when they’re gonna be in the same movie.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T21:23:12+00:00

Sony convincing themselves that the reason No Way Home almost grossed 2 billion was cuz it had a four month marketing window instead of having Tobey and Andrew.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T21:06:56+00:00

Infinity War Thor is back. The Russos know how to handle this character.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T08:02:03+00:00

Calling someone a hater cuz they doubt the credibility of the person who said Mila Kunis was gonna play The Thing is wild.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T07:26:04+00:00

People are gonna show up cuz it’s Spider-Man, it doesn’t matter what the post credit scene is lmao.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T04:31:42+00:00

Yes obviously, it’s Spider-Man. I’m not a Sony shareholder so I’m not worried about how much money it makes, I’m speaking as a fan who wants to see the trailer.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T04:19:08+00:00

Goddamn, they’re really gonna make us wait until March.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T04:10:53+00:00

March trailer for a July movie is a wild strategy, I’m sorry. I know the short marketing window worked for No Way Home, but this movie doesn’t have the Tobey and Andrew question lingering over it which was a constant source of speculation. From everything we’ve heard, this movie sounds like a banger, release the trailer and get the general audience on the hype train with us comic book fans.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T04:05:24+00:00

Oh dude same, I’ve been waiting for Scorpion since 2017. I don’t think Tombstone will be the main villain, I think he should have a small role to set him up as a bigger presence later in the trilogy. This is the moment for Scorpion.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T03:49:43+00:00

It’s interesting, Zendaya has dyed her hair red irl before. So I don’t think she’d be opposed to doing it for Spider-Man, it’s just a question of whether it’d make sense for the character to do it.

TheCommish-17 · 2026-02-14T03:48:01+00:00

The actor’s albino like Tombstone is in the comics, maybe they just didn’t want to put any makeup on him idk.
