I don't see them being as popular forever.

While this is true that doesn't mean they'll be popular enough to sustain 6+ blockbuster releases a year for 10 years, which is the current plan of these studios. Like the Western in the 50s the genre is here to stay, but might fade from the massive limelight it currently enjoys.

You mean like how comics are still not popular among COMIC fans?

This arc that Marvel has done has generated a new interest to keep things going. It's not like a standalone hero film doing sequels, this is legit arc.

I don't know about you but I want to look at my Blu-ray collection in 2020 and literally see Iron Man 1-Infinity War II and think to myself... **** YES.

While I don't doubt that comic book movies in general will become less-than popular, the genre will never die. If any of the franchises could survive it, is the MCU.

Yeah this has nothing to do with what I said. Comics have always been popular with comic fans. Comic book movies have not always been popular with the general audience.

Which Upcoming Marvel Movie Will DAREDEVIL And THE DEFENDERS Appear In? Find Out Here!

According to Bleeding Cool (who tend to be a little hit and miss with scoops, but do have a good track record), Daredevil and his fellow Defenders will make their big screen debuts in Avengers: Infinity War - Part Two. There's no details on whether that will be a cameo appearance or something more, but Marvel will clearly pull out all the stops for the movie. By 2019, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist will have more than likely had starred in at least a couple of seasons each, not to mention The Defenders. Could an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War - Part Two lead to them getting solo movies in "Phase 4"? I'd say it's definitely possible! In other news, the site also mentions that Agent Carter is "75%" confirmed for a second season. Stay tuned for more.

Hmm. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Cage, and Iron Fist involved in a cosmic level fight? A, this isn't the comics, and B, they'll have enough characters as it is.

I suppose "an appearance" could just be what it says - an appearance - instead of big roles, like maybe things are going down on Earth and we see them protecting their neighborhoods. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but I think the Defenders might be left out of it.

Didn't read Infinity Gauntlet? Street level characters were shown trying to protect their neighborhoods.

Yes, I've read it. That's why I said the movies aren't the comics. I doubt Spider-Man will be beat to death wit ha rock, for example.

I just don't see why they would bother to show them in the movie when they could just show the Defenders dealing with the situation in their own shows.

Would be a cool cameo.

I hope they throw in as many characters as possible in true Infinity Gauntlet fashion

[UK_fan_05]

I've thought from the beginning that it would be Avengers, Defenders, Strange, GoTG, and now probably Quake from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. defending the world in the last movie. Just a huge battle with everyone that has been in the MCU coming together.

Avengers: Infinity War Movies to Shoot for Nine Months.

Chris Evans believes that both parts of Avengers: Infinity War will shoot back to back over a nine-month period.

Evans spilled the beans in an interview with Esquire, which also confirms his Captain America character will survive Captain America: Civil War to make it to the third Avengers movie.

I agree that they're not a fad but I disagree that they're their own genre.

When you get down to it, they would all be considered Action films for the most part.

[StingingVelvet]

Fad is definitely the right word. Think of Westerns. They were THE Hollywood staple for years and years and then eventually faded from prominence. They still get made for sure, but they don't rule the big release roost anymore. Comic book movies are super popular right now, but they won't be forever. Eventually they will fade from prominence, though they'll still be made.

Honestly other than the X-Men stuff I am getting kind of tired of them already, so I really hope they slow down a bit after this Infinity War/JLA stuff is done.

Does anyone have any guesses how or what kind of battle the Avengers will have against Thanos? Does anyone think Thanos will be using a combinations of mindf*ck illusions and monsters and nightmares to battle them? If Marvel listens to their fans, they cant really have Thanos have another cgi army to fight the Avengers. And so far, who are Thanos' potential goons in these final movies? I can only think of Nebula. I dont know if Marvel has the balls to put Mistress Death in the movie. It would be awesome if they did because that's what makes Thanos unique - his desire to destroy the universe is revolved around a love story with Death. He has no desire to rule the universe - he just wants love in an epic f*-uped way.

I'm not quite sure as I didn't read the comics but....it be interesting if he used all the previous villains to help.
