Kevin Feige walks up to you and gives you a big, big job...

So, this thread falls somewhere between a forum game and a full-blown discussion, but....screw it, let's see what happens.

Let's say you're some dude working at Marvel Studios. Director, writer, hygiene technician, whatever, and for whatever reason, you've impressed the studio head enough for him to give you an entire slate of new movies and miniseries to spearhead: Marvel Cinematic Universe MAX Phase 1! Part of some crazy new Disney+ "ages 14 and up" initiative, these are "humble budget" offerings that you have to make into a reality, from a creative standpoint.


THE MOVIES: Ghost Rider, Night of the Living Deadpool, Defenders: The Red Hand, Astonishing Avengers, Nth Man, Deadpool In Space!
THE MINISERIES: Daredevil: Bullseye, Quake, Heroes for Hire, Daughters of the Dragon, The New Ghost Rider, HYDRA 1970

The rules:
-Pick one movie, and one miniseries: (You can pick more than one of each, if you want!)
-Describe the movie/series, or give a brief synopsis, in one modest sentence. Not too long, not too short.
-Describe the overarching connection to the MCU, once again in one sentence.
-A short cast list. Returning actors/characters and newcomers. At least two, no more than seven.
