@fac with Kang out, it makes sense to wrap the multiverse saga up with a bad variant of someone. I wasn't sure how I felt but ... I think it could be incredible.

It's worth watching the reveal though:

@fac your FF speculation sounds exactly right to me.

@ru1977 That is pretty surprising - hard to truly do something totally unexpected but that is it with Downey. Not spoiler tagging it, that news will be everywhere.

No clue how this is going to work. It's either brilliant or a terrible mistake. Guess we'll find out

Spoiler

More spec

Adopted after his parent are killed? Goes nuts after Sokovia? Of course he could play the whole role in the mask so we never see him as looking like Tony?

Right....I'm really at a loss. And I'm completely okay with that. Even knowing what they showed, I still feel in the dark!

Best thing I read was Feige saying how Brave New World is going to be more grounded like Winter Soldier, as the storyline revolves around mining the carcass of an alien who was incubating inside the Earth, and the President is secretly a rage-drive red monster.

@ru1977 I like it. Doom is a better villain than Kang (to me), Kang can still be involved somehow but if his last appearance was Ant-Man so be it, and they can run with Downey and the speculation.

I am surprised they didn't announce the films in the open slots in 26 and 27. 

Yeah, Kang going down in Antman and how they left it in Loki felt like an ending for that... character.

And I agree, Doom is a better villain. I'm guessing Avengers 5 is basically Time Runs Out, which makes sense to have Doom leading into Secret Wars.

He is a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

Accurate. And now I know what movie to put on as I drift off tonight, heh.

Also apparently McFeely is writing both Avengers 5 and 6.

I'm honestly more excited about the Russo brothers coming back. And I have no doubt that Downey will make it work with Doom. Pretty exciting news all around.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of introduction to the Doom character or his family in Fantastic Four to start laying the ground work for the character's Avengers appearance.

And an AP story tonight says Giancarlo Esposito is actually playing Sidewinder in Cap 4 — there may be hope for the Serpent Society yet!
