Hailee Steinfeld says she’s waiting for Marvel to ask her to return as Kate Bishop in the MCU: “I’m always waiting by the phone. I love that family. I’m so grateful to be a part of it. Anytime they need me, they know where to find me.”

also feel like "waiting for them to call me" is standard fare for returning actors talking about the mcu these days lol
It's also miserable seeing two dozen, "We figured out the plot to Doomsday!" videos pop up on YouTube that are setting people's expectations. Because as soon as a movie comes out these days, there are people who bitch and moan about them because they had insane expectations going in.
Long lead times and drip-feed marketing creates over-saturation and unreasonable expectations.
My bad.
The only downside I see though for the next couple years is it’s just gonna be heavy hitters. Spider-Man, Avengers, etc. movies that are clear hits. What happens when they put a non heavy hitter in theaters…that is to be seen
Wiccan is an instant ban in more than two dozen countries, and Disney absolutely doesn't want the Doomsday headline to be "Doomsday banned in China, Middle East, and twenty other markets!".
They absolutely won't appear in either Avengers movie.
Holy shit it came full circle. And there was actually a Hawkeye reference in Thunderbolts when I thought there wasn’t!
I feel like this subreddit has built up something that really wasn't there.
> Did they actually have more than a handful of lines and a couple of minutes of screentime together?
Yes, they did. Two long scenes of just the two of them with lots of dialogue, plus two other scenes shared with Renner.
But he’s still willing to come back, as long as they pay him the same amount that they did originally
The story is so sprawling and all over the place now, without a single character having stepped up to rival the likes of Steve or Tony (sorry Sam). They should have immediately started establishing a new cast of core characters after Endgame, instead of introducing dozens of new characters, and giving solo projects to characters like Echo and Ironheart, which nobody asked for. Doomsday is only a year away, yet most projects feel only tangentially related to one another. It’ll be a miracle if the Russo brothers can tie together all these disparate plot threads in a way that is anywhere near as satisfying as Infinity War and Endgame.
There was a plan, it was leaked back before Eternals came out. Feige presented to Chapek and asserted that they'd reached saturation with the General Audience and there was no more growth to be had there.
His proposal was that they would initially focus on significant minority groups post-Endgame to engage them, and down the road (Phase 5), they would bring back the fan favorites to fully re-engage the General Audience and show significant growth by combining the two.
Feige deeply misjudged how quickly the General Audience would disengage, and so we saw the massive changes after Quantumania and The Marvels as they scrambled to re-engage the General Audience, especially as they weren't getting the expected inroads with minority audiences they desired.
That's why there was no Avengers for Phase 4, the target demographics at that stage wasn't big enough for an Avengers movie, and a sub-billion Avengers movie would be devastating. So they were waiting until Phase 5 to pull the different demographics in at once.
Young Avengers was the other prong to the plan. It was meant to be an on-ramp for Gen Alpha by presenting relatable/relevant characters. They planned poorly though, they budgeted at General Audience levels for a product series targeting a single demographic.
With the mainline MCU collapsing, both prongs failing to engage their intended demographics, they seem to have dropped Young Avengers entirely. We know from leaks that Young Avengers was cancelled after The Marvels tanked. Champions was greenlit for scripting, but looks like that's dead now too as they're only doing one show a year and it's not on the list in the near future.
TLDR: Feige had a viable and wise plan, but then immediately failed to budget his plan relative to the expected audience, and so racked up failure after failure.
I feel as if the tide is shifting toward DC cinematic universe now with Gunn at the helm.
The MCU is in bad bad shape, the casting of RDJ in another role is a nakedly "break glass in case of emergency" move, the GA has declining interest in the properties. They needed to start smashing it out of the park two years ago, and if Doomsday stumbles - and based on declining audience attention, it might - who knows if we'll even get anything other than Spider-Man.
But then again, if you can't come up with a good script, just don't make the movie. Just look at what they did to my poor boy Scott Lang.

Anytime someone is asked about a marvel project.
Especially following the Hawkeye miniseries, where it’s revealed that Kate’s mom worked for Kingpin! Plus Fisk is well aware of Kate’s vigilantism and her association with Hawkeye (and the Swordsman, whom he goes after)! It should go without saying that she would be on his radar of people he intends to go after!
I know people talk about how she’s likely with the Young Avengers (or the Champions), but it would’ve been a lot more cool if we saw Kate work with Matt Murdock/Daredevil to take down Fisk and his empire!
It felt like they were repeating what made the first Avengers so popular and successful but contained in Disney+, but then they just didn't. Maybe they thought it was too much of a risk right after having to do a major course correction in the MCU.
2. That's what happens when Marvel flooded the MCU with too many characters. The clear favorites are wasting their primes just sitting on the sidelines ready to be called back into the game.
I'll be extremely happy when(if ever) we get back to the point where the Avengers consisted of less than 10 people.
