    There's always the good old fashioned "cryo stasis due to being a potential threat" trope or the slightly more complicated "mind swap with a fresh clone",the latter could bring in the Jackal for Spiderman or if they want to go deep, Mr. Sinister.

    True, either way i think the idea of multiverse and variants is cool, making the reimiverse their own multiverse and Tobey a variant peter parker i think is a brilliant way to tie those movies together someway, plus the fox and sony universes all together, with the excuse of "multiverse", as there is some worthy things there

    I think open possibilities to more interesting and fun stuff, now that they can be either more close to the Hqs or do something totally different and just blame the multiverse

    I'd wager that 90% of people that don't care about MCU movies also don't care about Spider-Man movies.

    That just means retcons and inconsistency.
    To be fair it seems they have everyone that watches primed and prepped for that sort of thing.

    I don't think that's that big of an issue. They've been doing it in the comics with various characters for decades. I think the whole holocaust to mutant leader is a good angle for the character but I think he can still be Magneto without it. At a certain point you have to start updating the characters.

    Just make him a survivor of a mutant holocaust in Genosha.

    I can't fathom caring about these movies after Endgame
    The fuckery with the soul stone workarounds was enough to disengage my interest. The entire point of them was sacrifice and Gamora is all good. And they followed it up with a black widow movie.

    Ill still keep an eye out for the odd 9/10 movie. They ratio about one every 10 movies it seems. For every winter solider there are 9 antman 2 movies.

    Among other things, but that's where I first saw him.
    He's not well known I think though no.

    I think he played in Narnia and the Maze Runner too.

    I've been liking the latest Spider-man comics and their retcon of the Sin's Past storyline.

    Everybody bulks up when cast in a Superhero film. Iron Man and Ant-Man aren't known for their physical attributes...but even RDJ and Paul Rudd got in on that abs game.

    And Poulter may not be like Superjacked or anything...but he was in pretty decent shape in Maze Runner:

    Good call. I never watched Maze Runner.

    I am very interested to see him in the MCU. He is a great actor. I wonder if, since he has a youthful appearance, if this is going to be a young adam warlock. My guess is, freshly "hatched" as a younger adult.

    Ah! I haven't heard that quote before. Neat!

    Do you think that this will end up involving the Infinity Stones again? (Since that is the big plot with Adam Warlock)

    I wonder. Since they replaced Adam Warlock with Vision in the Infinity Saga, if they would replace Thanos with someone else. Would be odd, but then again, it is odd to bring in Adam without the involvement of the stones.

    Then again, they could just be setting up more of a celestial saga. We have been seeing a whole lot of Space, so it could make sense.
