Yep - and they can easily explain away any leaps of logic with this. "Shuri, they tried taking transfusing Cap's blood in the 50's. It's one in a million. The people who tried it all died."
Shuri: "If we do nothing, Sam dies anyway, and everything is lost."
Yada yada, a much better writer can concoct a stronger scene with that basic premise - especially if Cap and Tony have already eaten it at this point and Sam's clinging to his life. [Reply]

I have to admit that I like the MCU Falcon 100x more than the comix version. I think he'd be worthy of passing the torch...er...shield to. [Reply]
The first official MCU novel, "Thanos - Titan Consumed," which will tell the origin story of Thanos, has just been announced and will release in November! https://t.co/j5Oj438nCBpic.twitter.com/ryERUGXDmv
They have to pivot to achieve longevity. There are tons of storylines they can still take the Avengers on, and individual characters through, but the storylines that'll be worthy of a $1 billion box office receipt or more are fading. Introduce the Xmen origin and focus on that whole side of things, with cameos from the Avengers before the individual actors hang it up. If they're going to introduce the Xmen eventually, I think that if they do introduce Wolverine in Infinity War Part 2, they'll just get the recasted Wolverine, not Jackman, so they can have continuity. They're probably already doing secret preliminary casting for who'll make up the Xmen team. [Reply]

Keep in mind that once the deal is done they have access to all Fox properties. Any clip from any X-Men/F4 history.
They could use clips from old X-Men movies (much like how they would show cerebro) to make a collage of colliding worlds in IW2.
Just that would make the nerds splooge. Just a hint that these worlds are all coming together would be enough... [Reply]

Jackman has said he is done with Wolverine. Not even a cameo. Of course they can throw a % of the gross at him, he may change his mind. But, he is already filthy rich and famous. The superhero thing is not what he really is, he's more of a Broadway guy. When your rich and famous, people usually do what they love. They will recast that role. [Reply]

Yeah I think he loves how his story ended too. Hopefully the replacement will be liked [Reply]
