A '60s setting would be so cool…

Dante Feretti is the production designer for Fantastic Four and he only does period stuff 🤔

— Daniel Richtman #BlackLivesMatter (@DanielRPK) May 8, 2023

Nick Fury's time in space will make more sense if he's searching for the Fantastic Four, kind of like how he once searched for Captain America…

Yeah, if set in the '60s, my guess would be they've either been somewhere else in the universe for the past 60 years since (and they don't age, due to their powers), or they enter some kind of wormhole or something at the end of the movie that brings them into present day for the rest of their time in the MCU.

Why 60s?

I wonder if something like 80s, or even 90s given Captain Marvel, might not be more likely. However, I was thinking similar to you. Lost in space somehow a la Planet of the Apes or something.

An ode to when the comic first debuted...



... but I also imagine it would be to help separate this iteration from the past two modern day iterations.

That, and Marvel could really use another period piece at this point. It would feel fresh and novel and I think the '60s would just look cool as well.

For all we know, the Invisible Woman has already been in every marvel movie.

IM IN TEARS BRO NO WAY JAMES GUNN BASICALLY WROTE THE ENTIRE INFINITY STONES LORE IN THE MCU IN ONLY AN HOUR AND A HALF😭😭 pic.twitter.com/kJeX9sEZOH

you know the collector scene in gotg1 where he describes the infinity stones and their origin? Gunn is saying he wrote that only in an hour and half

I'm not understanding this clip. First of all, the Infinity Stones have been around since the 70's in the comics and they were already in the MCU prior to GotG. They were clearly always going to be the key mcguffin of the MCU and the key to Feige's plan... Is he so high in this clip that he thinks he created them or that Feige hadn't already started using them in the other movies?


And he's patting himself on the back for how smart he is for making up their lore in an hour and a half? It's a one-minute clip of exposition from the Collector with a pretty generic explanation that they have existed since the beginning of time and are super powerful... which is basically you know... what they are in the comics.





Not shooting the messenger TC, just kind of a head-scratching humblebrag from Gunn

Reading through the comments in that thread, while, yes, the Infinity Stones have been around since the '70s, it sounds like there were different origins, iterations, powers, and a different number of stones over the decades? So what James is saying he did is basically took all that and distilled it down to the lore for the movies, somewhat offhandedly, in an hour and half? Like, decided on the final number of stones, their exact origins, colors, the power stone for GOTG, etc.

Either way, I don't necessarily see it as him patting himself on the back, as much as him simply laughing at the fact that there was never some big Marvel meeting to decide it all. He just came up with some random spiel and before he knew it, Marvel treated it as gospel.

Mainly, I posted it because he and Pratt are hilarious together and obviously loopy by this point, from having likely done interviews for hours on end. I just like seeing them lose it like that.

Exactly

The infinity stones have been anywhere from the size of stones to the size planets. He went off and took what he knew from the comics and made an MCU version that later became gospel

It also gives a little more to Doctor Strange's line in Multiverse of Madness when talking to Reed Richards and saying "Didn't you chart in the 60's?" Granted, he could've been referencing a few things there - but the fact that they were alive and already present in the 60's would become canon with that line.

Except that the Infinity Saga was already a comic, and the stones all fit into a glove...

and had the same or extremely similar powers to what they had in the movies...

I don't see how Gunn created that. He might have written that scene in an hour and a half, but the backstory was already there.

Feels super lazy and unprofessional.

I’ll never understand how the #MultiverseOfMadness writers did not watch #WandaVision BEFORE writing their movie.

Holy **** this is mind blowing and honestly explains a lot about this phase.

i'm gonna guess that the wandavision post credit scene was an afterthought b/c they needed to tie it back to what they were doing with MoM.

Explains a whole lot of why everything after Endgame is so fractured. No cohesiveness to it

Just like they did with Star Wars. Can't believe Disney would just go out an wing it on 2 of the biggest franchises in the world.

Seriously.

To me the biggest indicator was the fact that we had No Way Home essentially introduce the concept of the multiverse (via Doctor Strange, no less!), and then Multiverse of Madness had absolutely ZERO ties to that movie. No consequences from that movie carried over here, no themes, no anything. How do you not figure out a way to make those feel more connected when they're all part of the same cinematic "universe"? And especially when they both deal with multiverses?

It's just dumb.

I think even after all these years Iron Man may be the best looking MCU movie.
