When does Captain Marvel 2 come out again? Because this is likely coming out 6 weeks beforehand

July 8th.

Secret Invasion means so much for Marvel; arguably on a similar level to Secret Wars or House of M (which is already being adapted into 3 stories {Spidey, Strange, and Wandavision}). It has to be coming immediately before Captain Marvel 2, as it makes way too much sense.

Just looked it up and Captain Marvel is actually November 11th, 2022, now. It was slated for July 8th at one point, but got moved back.

Olivia Colman in Talks to Join Samuel L. Jackson in Marvel’s ‘Secret Invasion’ Series (Exclusive)

The Oscar nominee is making her Marvel debut with the studios' next TV series with Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.

Oscar award winner for best supporting actress, Olivia Colman is potentially joining Secret Invasion. The fascinating tidbit, is that Mr. Robot writer/producer Kyle Bradstreet is going to be main writer/executive producer for this.

Colman's quite a get if they can land her. Instantly elevates the profile of the show, and hopefully portends some pretty solid writing.

Or she could just be taking a nice paycheck!

It's interesting that they're going the series route with this. It feels like a more universe-changing event that would fit as a major story thread in a future phase.

Why not both?

I could see a series culminating into a movie, especially since the Secret Invasion has so many moving parts.

Colman has actually been wanting to do this for a while it seems and she willed it into existence haha. This is from an interview with her from 2016:

Feige has said that the shows are not going to be "required" viewing for anyone watching any of the movies, though.

 

[Viator]

I mean, you could do it like how Wandavision, No Way Home & MoM is doing: being as a whole package that is optional

You can write a movie that doesn’t require watching the show. Serenity (Firefly) is a perfect example.

Budget on this show will be massive

Budget on this show will be massive

Coming from someone who has worked on one of the MCU streaming shows, I can tell you that the budget on ALL of the them is massive.

Yeah, I think the budget on all of them is supposed to be around $150M-$200M.

Of course don't let the large budget like that make fool you into thinking everything should be the same as the movies. The movies get those budgets for 2-2.5 hour films. These shows are getting these budgets for 5.5-6 hours, meaning that you have to expect things to be scaled down a bit like we've seen. A two-hour film with a $200M budget is going to be able to afford a lot more than a $200M show that has to spread that budget over 6 hours - basically the equivalent of making 3 theatrical movies on the budget of one.

Yeah definitely. And I mean I can only speak for the VFX side of things, but I know for WV it worked out well because the first few episodes had very little/simple VFX in it so we were able to push the budget more towards the final episodes where it was needed more. I think Disney was shocked at how expensive our show ended up being actually haha. There's a LOT of VFX in it that people just don't know about (which is good cause it means we did our job well). But those things really drove up the cost in very unexpected ways.

I don't know why, I thought this was going to be a cartoon. This is a very pleasant surprise.

 

[Nick]

This feels a bit like an "Event" miniseries with such a high caliber cast. The cast alone is going to make for one hell of a giant budget.

He is a lying. Somewhere a Villain or hero from a show will be in a film, then what? Moon Knight, Miss Marvel and She Hulk will never be in films?

Loki isn't going to show up in a film? Its all such BS they can say it all day long but Wanda is going to be sooo different from endgame without watching the show you wont really get it...she is looking for her kids when did she get kids? Etc

if this plot is only a show then its a waste this is something that should be tying into the next Avengers
