If you watch to the end at about the 40 minute mark, there's a panel discussion where they explain that exactly.
Marvel Cinematic Universe Upcoming Films

The Mouse may be a soulless bastard, but there are some people that really fucking care deep in its bowels.
Looking forward to it
Hopefully they can keep it less overwrought than the first season. Fun is good, too clever is dumb.

The Marvels tickets are on sale.
I have mine for 6:30pm on November 9th.
November 9th is also the last episode of Loki. I wonder if there will be a tie in from Loki into Marvels. And I just realized that I might have screwed myself because Loki airs at 7pm my time, and my showing for Marvels is at 6:30pm.

This is the first TV-MA show on D+. There is hope that the new Daredevil series is also TV-MA. Kind of wish that Moon Knight was the first TV-MA series since that is more fitting for the character based on the comics.
Saw The Marvels. Thought it was pretty good. Middle of the pack or slightly above middle for the marvel movies, IMO.
I thought it was quite good. It did a great job of humaizing Captain Marvel without making her any less powerful. I can't really rank it among other MCU movies since I've skipped plenty of them, especially lately, but it was only my second time going to the movies since 2020 and it was 100% worth it.
People need to spread the word if it's good because right now it looks to be the lowest opening for the MCU. The current floor is The Incredible Hulk (2008) at 55 Million domestic box office opening. Right now projections are in the 47-52 Million range based on Thursday and Friday numbers.
Looks like we've reached peak Marvel, pun intended, if what people are calling a middle to average MCU movie is getting people out to it in such low numbers.
Just got back from The Marvels and also quite enjoyed it. I really hope they do a 2nd season of Ms. Marvel as I really like what Iman Vellani brings to the role. It is quite hard to rank the MCU movies since there are just so many of them now. Plus I always have issues with ranking things like this since a lot of it depends on what kind of movie I'm in the mood for.
I guess that does answer the question of how they are planning to incorporate the X-Men into the MCU. And it makes complete sense for them to have them in their own universe, at least to start, so that there's never a question about where are the other MCU characters whenever something comes up. I kind of imagine that the same thing will be done with the FF as well.
Iman Vellani is a joy to watch. I saw The Marvels with my 11-year-old daughter, and we both enjoyed it. Probably in the top 2 or 3 movies for phase 4, which isn't saying a lot, but it's been a little while since I was glad I saw an MCU movie in the theater.
Also one thing I was wondering about there at the end.
It looked like Kamala only had on one bangle during the end scenes. I thought I might have saw one on Carol's arm when they got into the airplane but it was so fast I couldn't be sure what I saw and for some reason the theater wouldn't let me rewind it to watch again. She obviously had both during the part where Monica closed the rift but seems like one disappeared after that. Maybe it's just a continuality thing, but seems like a rather obvious thing to miss.
Disney+ didn't exist in 2008. Frankly I'm glad I watched Quantumania at home
Sure but Disney plus existed during the release of...
The Eternals, Black Widow, Quantomania, and the rest of the recent releases.
The Marvels was also massively expensive compared to those. 274 Million to make The Marvels
Eternals opened to 71 Million Cost 200 Million.
Black Widow 80 Million Cost 200 Million.
Quantomania 106 Million! Cost 200 Million.
With the box off weakness, Marvel really needs to be trying to keep their cost to make their movies down as the recent trends have not justified their "ALL IN!" style of production budgets. I've said this before, smaller movies, reasonable budgets, where they don't have to be blockbusters.
The Marvels looking to have an opening 1/2 that of Quantomania is just shocking. To put it into perceptive, Captain Mavel opened to 153 Million on a 175 Million budget.
These are all US Openings to keep things apples to apples. World Wide Opening is harder to accurately track as the movies open in a pretty staggered pattern over seas and not always in the same order of countries.
Yikes, The Marvels was the 4th most expensive MCU movie to make, with only the last 3 Avengers costing more.

I don't actually remember where I saw it, at home or in a theater. But I am sorry I saw it at all.
And the Studios have released their final estimate of 47 Million US opening, yikes. It does look like Marvel Studios only put out 220 Million for it as they got a 50+Million Tax Credit from the UK for the movie. So while it cost over 270 Million to make, they didn't pay that much out of pocket.

That's pretty much how I feel about it. Pretty enjoyable middle of the pack MCU film.
That price may also already include money that the production paid to other parts of Disney. Its always a shell game
It was a fun movie. The space station side plot felt pretty unnecessary, though.
I’m really bummed that The Marvels is flopping so hard, because I really enjoyed it. I thought the Musical Planet was the greatest thing I’d ever see on a movie screen, but then came the kitten scene….I really like when Marvel movies get creative in goofy, whimsical ways.

Really enjoyed it when I saw it over the weekend. Probably the one I most enjoyed since No Way Home. It felt like a bit of return to form for the MCU, but I’ll admit superhero fatigue is setting in for most audiences. I’ve skipped a few in theaters myself recently.
I love the flurkins! I need to assemble my own personal flurkin army and i started with buying one of the flurkin egg popcorn buckets at the theater!

Oh man. When they found the first egg I was sure it was going to be a Brood infestation, which could have led to an X-Men cameo I'd heard about being in the movie. I was SO happy when it wasn't, and how they ended up using the cameo anyway.
Can we keep Marvels spoilers out of this thread for another week at least. The movie has only been out for 4 days and this is the Upcoming thread.
I might have seen The Marvels if A) I saw any advertising at all and B) it was available on streaming.
A) may be a consequence of not going to places on the Intarwebs that it is advertised and having ad blockers for most sites.

That is a shame cause it's actually a very good movie that is suffering from Anti-Marvel sentiments in the media.
The other thing is that the movie's whole runway before release was during the strikes so Larsen, Vellani, et al weren't able to go out there and do the publicity circuits. I know people say that doesn't matter to them but for the general (read: not Extremely Online) public it does
Like, I honestly had no interest in Netflix's Wednesday until I saw Ortega being interviewed pop up in my feed, because the Cramps are relevant to my interests.
Pretty much this. The typical small but loud incel crowd that review bombed the first movie went into full frenzy when this movie had 3 female leads and a female villain. Also, this movie suffered from a negative backlash from Quantumania like Solo received after TLJ.

I doubt that's the cause, 5 Night's at Freddy's, also released during the writer strike, opened to almost 80 Million.
I'm thinking super hero fatigue, combined with Marvel fatigue, and the characters just not having the same draw. I mean when a marvel movie way underperforms both Flash, with it's main character actor's problem, and Black Adam, both do much better, that's a yikes.
Add on: Gender break down numbers came out 61% Men/39% Women. Which actually puts in the top half of the MCU releases when it comes to women just not coming out to see the movie. Which suprised me.
Captain Marvel, came out 55/45 Men to women in viewership numbers.
