Doesn't Disney still earn money from the Fox and Sony Marvel films via royalties for the Marvel characters and the merchandise?

Yeah, I feel the events of Civil War will have closer ties to the show than Age of Ultron did.

ABC was very renewal happy this Season. Galavant getting renewed is a miracle, and one that I won't complain about.

I wonder if this means that Marvel is going to disregard Whedon's "Coulson will remain treated as if he's still dead" stigma for the films? There's only so long that you can believably stretch out the Avengers not knowing.

Ant-Man will be a true test concerning the MCU brand. I recall many expected Guardians of the Galaxy would potentially turn out to be MCU's first real flop, but it ended up becoming a hit. I think it could go either way for Ant-Man, honestly.

Yep. A lot of the first Avengers' hype factor was the fact that it was the first time all of these Marvel heroes crossed over into a single film. That was a huge event at the time, and that experience just can't be replicated on that scale for the sequel. A lot of the problems that have been...

I think it's ridiculous to label Age of Ultron a flop just because it's under-performing compared to the first Avengers film, at least so far. Its performance is still something most films only dream they could reach.

It's too bad Marvel and FOX can't make a deal to make the pre-existing X-Men films a part of the MCU, but logically that won't work because the two film series contradict each other. There being two versions of Quicksilver being one.

I was hoping they'd air Battle of Gods that night instead. Perhaps they still could for the 4th of July?

Seems Disney was more concerned with squeezing in as many showings per day. That's a main reason studios prefer movies to be under a certain time limit these days.

Sorry about that, but to be fair, this is not a spoiler-free thread. There's a warning about there being spoilers right in the title. And like Tohya mentioned, Maria Hill's guest star appearance has been discussed and confirmed in this thread before my post.

This thought came to mind. What if a Spider-Man tease is included in the home video release?

Man, it really feels like they were setting up Franklin Hall to return later in Season 1, based on the teaser at the end of his episode. For whatever reason, that never happened, and we're still waiting.

True, though we did already know she was on the way, thanks to Cobie's interviews. I get it, though, because look at how incredible it was a few weeks ago when Deathlok suddenly returned. That wasn't spoiled in the slightest and no one knew it was coming, which made it all the more awe worthy.

Looks like it's next week's episode that Maria Hill is appearing in.
