    I bet it's going to be the resurrection of Black Widow.

    I don't think it can be? That's a massive status quo shift that a fraction of the audience is gonna be aware of.

    My guess is that it'll be some sort of teaser based on some of the stuff they got from Fox. They've probably cast some people in some roles by now.

    I feel like it has to be since she's got a movie coming out. "come see a movie about this dead character you'll never see again" just doesn't sell me.

    The Black Widow movie in production is a prequel. Practically an Origin Story, if what I've read is accurate. (edit: not that I've gone looking for spoilers, but as you noted, it being about a dead character seems to make it vastly more likely to take place in the past, maybe we'll finally find out about the clusterfuck that was Budapest?)

    "The (previously) Untold Tale of ______" is very Comic Book'y in and of itself, so as a premise I'm okay with it.

    Plus it's about time she got her own movie (yes I'm aware of the conflicts that reportedly made that timing difficult, plus bullshit behind the scenes, nobody needs to @ me)

    I think the Black Widow movie has been 'leaked' if those leaks can be trusted it's
    a prequel about Nat training the new Black Widow to be her successor. Unsure if this takes place during the 5 year gap or not but that makes the most sense.

    I would be shocked if it were anything related to the Fox merger. The audience for the re-release isn't nearly big enough for something like that. You want people hyping that up on opening night.

    And they've said they wanted Endgame to be The End and let that have its moment instead of using it to tease new shit.

    I figure it'll be:
    Gag Reel
    Stan Lee Tribute
    Deleted Scenes

    The deleted scenes may have something totally 'out there' that wasn't in the final cut, but I doubt it'll be anything momentous. Best case would be some conversation between characters that was cut for pacing but was still really interesting. Maybe something with Peter and little what's-her-name after the funeral... assuming they actually told Holland that Stark stayed dead before opening night.

    Sure, for the original, but this is a "re-release". It could be teasing all the new shit.

    (Also Far From Home is the actual end of the Infinity Saga.)

    Usually there's a new trailer for the next marvel movie right when one comes out.

    We have nothing at all past Far From Home, which is strange.

    My bet is its the trailer for whatever is coming after that - Eternals or Widow or whatever - and it will be widely available online once the Avatar record is broken.

    I suspect they wanted to maintain the feeling of finality and completion through the credits. That audience sense of "what now" that everything is over. Having a smash cut of Cap is a bit like tacking on a "here's what happened next" chapter after the last chapter in a book.

    I think the signatures did a great job of carrying the "end of the story" feeling.

    According to the scoop extraordinaire at MCU Cosmic, the second release will feature a deleted scene, a Stan Lee tribute, and a "short tease" for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Better yet, the report suggests the deleted scene will feature Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, though no details beyond that were available.

    It had better be Mark Ruffalo's Hulk. I mean, the other options are what, Edward Norton and Eric Bana? The former was a dud and the latter isn't even canon!

    I really hope the Back Widow movie isn't a prequel, but they wrote themselves a nice excuse to make it one so woe is me most likely.

    But poor way to start the next phase- reminding us what we lost.

    It's not exactly 3000 minutes at the moment, it's somewhere just under 2900, with Far From Home adding another 100+ minutes to that. But yeah, that's where the line comes from.

    I'm still all worn out from Endgame, so weirdly I don't feel particularly excited about Far From Home at this point. I'll go and see it, not least because cinemas are a great place to cool down when it's 35°C outside, but if I happened to miss it because there are too many other things on, I wouldn't really mind all that much. It's not so much that I'm burned out on the MCU, I still want to know what happens next, it's more that I wouldn't mind a break before whatever happens next actually happens.

    Just got out of Far From Home and...pretty happy with the whole thing.

    General feelings spoilers(no story spoilers or anything):
    I wasn't fully feeling it until the second half or so, the pacing felt all off kilter and some scenes went on too long or felt rushed. But it's a pretty good time. I really wish I was able to see it in 3D, but an early screening is always a win. Cant wait to see more reactions as it gets a wider release.

    Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    I'm pretty miffed, pretty sure I saw an ad on Instagram that just straight up showed a portion of the film near the end
    it showed MJ hitching a ride with Peter for the first time and not enjoying it, but... It was very clearly in NY and he's wearing his newer suit

    What is it with Sony, Spidey, and making ads featuring the end of their films?

    Almost all films do this. There are some films that use the literal final shot in their trailers. It's why some deride trailers as showing the entire movie.

    Endgame trailer showed the Big Three walking up to fight Thanos.
    The important part is context. In that case, I never considered that it wasn't the one who'd killed half the universe they were about to fight, so the spoiler was just 'the heroes will fight the villain', which didn't exactly ruin things.

    Most of the MCU films seem to do pretty well about not letting trailers fuck over the the movie content, up to and including a variety of shots that actually don't even end up in the final film or are significantly different in some way. Sony being shitheads about Spidey trailers is no surprise, but I can't remember a single time I was ever concerned about watching other MCU trailers and having things spoiled.

    In fact, I have to wonder if the people actually making MCU films intentionally feed incorrect scenes to the generally-shitty trailer-makes in order to actively sabotage their attempts to put the big movie moments in the trailer.
