== [[Stan Lee]] is Uatu the Watcher ==
It's the only possible explanation for how he's ''always'' around when the superheroes are doing something important (even in [[Thor (Filmfilm)|Thor]], which takes place on the other side of the country from the other movies). The fact that he makes appearances in the [[Daredevil (Filmfilm)|Daredevil]], [[Fantastic Four (Film2005 film)|Fantastic Four]], [[X -Men (Filmfilm)|X Men]] and [[Spider -Man (Filmfilm)|Spider Man]] movies (which don't actually take place in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]) is just proof that he's capable of traveling to alternate worlds in the [[Multiverse]]. Also, consider the fact that he makes his cameo in [[Daredevil (Filmfilm)|Daredevil]] when Matt Murdock is still a child, and in [[X Men the Last Stand|X-Men: The Last Stand]] when Jean Grey is still a child, but appears to be the same age that he is when he's in all of the other movies--it's proof that he's [[Really 700 Years Old|immortal and ageless]]. Not to mention that he probably either ''dies'' or becomes mortally ill in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (Filmfilm)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' when he drinks a soda laced with gamma radiation, [[Nigh Invulnerable|but appears alive and in excellent health in subsequent films]].
* He has also been spotted during World War II, ''and'' in the present time without having aged a day.
 
Line 17:
First theory: {{spoiler|Thanos}}.
 
Based on a few revelations from [[The Stinger]] of Thor, and a few [[Early -Bird Cameo|Early Bird Cameos]] in Odin's Vault, {{spoiler|The Infinity Gauntlet or something very like it is in the MCU. [[The Stinger]] has Nick Fury showing Selvig a Cosmic Cube, which is probably going to show up in Captain America: The First Avenger. Now, if BOTH a Cosmic Cube AND The Infinity Gauntlet are hanging around in this Universe, then dollars to doughnuts is that Thanos is kicking around somewhere}}.
 
Also, according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20131126183807/http://collider.com/kevin-feige-interview-thor-avengers-iron-man-3-ant-man-doctor-strange/88459/ this] interview, there was something missing from Odin's vault... possible fodder for future movies and [[Early -Bird Cameo|Early Bird Cameos]]?
 
* Unlikely, both based on rumors, and on the simple fact that ''Loki'' is the villain who now knows where the Cosmic Cube/Tesseract is. It would be quite a bizarre turn of events for Loki to discover a powerful [[MacGuffin]], and then have it get grabbed by another, completely unrelated villain.
Line 27:
**** {{spoiler|Confirmed, sort of. The Stinger at the end of the Avengers reveals that the Chitauri working with Loki actually answers to Thanos.}}
 
== ''[[The Avengers (Film2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' will have massive cameos for future Avengers members ==
The Pyms, or at least Hank, would be one of the obvious choices. Swordsman could appear, setting him up for a possible Hawkeye film. Doctor Strange could appear if the rumors about a movie for him become true. Other commonly associated members without ties to the continuity already could appear as well, such as Ms. Marvel, Black Panther, and Vision.
* Wendell Vaughn is already confirmed as a SHIELD agent. Quasar, anyone?
** Would be pretty cool to see that there are already established supers other than Hawkeye and Black Widow as Avengers members, but it seems unlikely to me that it would happen that way, as I doubt Fury and Romanov wouldn't have called in backup when the Hammeroids went on their rampage.
* Sadly, [[Trope Namer|Jos]][[Jossed|sed]]. While we do see {{spoiler|the [[The Ultimates|Chitauri]] and [[Thanos]]}}, we do not see new heroes. [[Ant -Man]] is confirmed to have a movie in production, and has been [[Word of God|stated by producer Kevin Feige]] to have been the "friend with experience with SHIELD" that Selvig spoke of in ''Thor'', though.
* [[X -Men|Beast]] will join the team, but only for a short while before returning to Xavier's school.
** Sadly, this one iswas [[Screwed Byby the Lawyers]]. Marvel doesdid not currentlyat that time own the film rights to the X-Men.
 
== The Avengers will fight the Hulk as soon as the team forms ==
Line 55:
They're having some issues with human shapeshifting and Stan's form is the easiest one to take. When the Avengers fight them, they will see an army of Stan Lees that will shout "Excelsior" upon engaging them.
 
== The new element in [[Iron Man (Filmfilm)|Iron Man 2]] ==
Was the same as the Tesseract in Captain America and the casket in Thor
* Much more likely, its vibranium, the same element used to make Cap's shield.
Line 66:
== Stan Lee is The Beyonder ==
 
== At some point, either [[Spider -Man]], the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]], or the [[X -Men]] will be brought in to the MCU. ==
It will take long, painful negotiation between studios but it will happen. Because [[Rule of Cool|it's too awesome not to happen]].
* If it does happen, bet on the Fantastic Four. The planned reboot by Fox has completely dropped from sight for almost a year.
Line 78:
* The Avengers are on the ropes. Loki's forces are advancing, buildings are being destroyed, civilians are screaming and running for their lives. Thor is downed and Mjolnir is knocked out of his hand. Cap steps up to the plate, grabs the mighty hammer, and delivers blow after powerful blow to their enemies without a second thought.
* All [[Jossed]] unfortunately. {{spoiler|But Hulk almost did try and pick it up during his fight with Thor.}}
* We did get the scene in ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' where it moves slightly when Cap tries his hand at lifting it as part of what amounts to a party game.
** And then of course there's ''that moment'' in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'', followed by Thor shouting "I knew it!"
 
== The Arc reactor was an attempt to reproduce the Cosmic Cube's energy-generating capability with Earth technology ==
Taken more or less straight from [[Captain America: theThe First Avenger (Film)/Fridge|Captain America the First Avenger]]: the 'Tesseract' could produce a lot of energy, enough to solve a lot of problems... but it does have two major drawbacks: there is only one, so whoever controls it would be in a position where they might even fall into authoritarianism inadvertently, to say nothing of deliberately, and the thing is based on unknown principles - what if it just stops working one day? But if some measure of that energy-generation could be reproduced, not only would humanity be a bit closer to understanding the principles behind it, but the monopoly problem would also be averted. Thus, studying the Cube leading to Arc reactors that, while impractical with then-modern technology, could be made a bit closer to the ideal with the technology of the MCU's 21th century...
 
== There could be a Marvel vs. Capcom movie ==
Line 89 ⟶ 91:
* Something like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBbnT-cIDVM this]?
 
== [[X -Men: First Class (Film)|X Men First Class]] is in continuity with the Cinematic Universe ==
I don't really have any hard evidence of this, it's just an awesome theory since it's patently obvious that ''First Class'' is no longer in continuity with the first three X-Men films.
* An interesting idea, but sadly unlikely: SHIELD would have been involved ( its not guaranteed canon that the organization existed in the early 60s, but its pretty heavily implied ).
Line 95 ⟶ 97:
* All the mutants are the result of Johann Schmidt's research on enhancing the (incomplete) Super Soldier Serum he got from Erskine. That would tie it closer to the Ultimate Marvel universe, and explain why A) mutants are so rare in "First Class" B) why the American government is so scared of mutants in "First Class" they'd [[Macross Missile Massacre]] a group that just ''saved their civilization'' on a whim. Cap is pretty much a human WMD, and would have been capable of all but winning the war on his own had he not been lost with Skull's flying wing. Mutants? Final Solution would be impolite, but Jack Bauer would probably execute the lot of them if they had that potential and wouldn't wear American uniforms.
** Which goes against every thematic establishment in the combined setting. Still. Try again.
** Fits nicely with [[The Incredible Hulk (Filmfilm)|General Ross']] faction of the U.S. government. They deliberately antagonize human nitroglycerin bottles like Banner and give [[Personality Powers]] to [[Sociopathic Soldier|Sociopathic Soldiers]] like Blonsky.
*** Even in there, its a stretch. Note that in the deleted scenes, Ross' own superior thought he was obsessed. Again, distinction between "unethical experiment that balloons" versus "attempted or successful genocide."
 
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
== Avengers two will feature the masters of evil ==
* It will consist of a cyborg-ized Zola, Abomination, Crimson Dynamo(May or may not be Vanko), a new Whiplash, A new villain from a movie released between the two, and lead by Red Skull. The Avengers will drop Widow and Fury, adding on a hero who got his movie in the interim and War Machine.
** Or the Masters of Evil could be organized by the Leader (since there most likely won't be an Incredible Hulk sequel for him to be the [[Big Bad]] of), and it could include Abomination (who they free), Justin Hammer who funds the creation of the Crimson Dynamo, some surviving villains from sequels of the individual heroes' movies, and maybe some more new faces. And then, they find the Red Skull, who takes over their group and makes them a bigger threat due to his experiences after what the Tesseract did to him after [[Captain America: theThe First Avenger]].
 
== The new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon takes place in the MCU ==
Line 150 ⟶ 152:
Also, Namor met Cap at least once, and the Invaders and the Howling Commandos teamed up for at least one mission, and raided Auschwitz with a certain Jewish mutant with magnetic powers using the chaos to run away.
 
== The Waitress in the Avengers movie is [[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Terra]] ==
Not only is the actress [[Ashley Johnson]] (who was Terra's voice actress in the animated series), she has an uncanny resemblance to her as well, what with the blonde hair and blue eyes. It's possible that time has passed since the finale of ''Teen Titans'' and she has moved to New York, possibly maintaining {{spoiler|the new life she had begun as a school girl}}.
