Seems like exactly the sort of "rules" a studio would want to discuss beforehand so they don't fall into the genre trappings of having a multiverse....

Kevin Feige held a meeting with the Marvel Studios team about the "rules of the [REDACTED]" (Loki spoilers)
- Thread starter Imperial Bishop
- Start date
The comics have already done the multiverse. It's all the same source material
With Feige behind it, we will get the good version of Sp/dr
I don't trust Feige with Spider-Man, lol.
LET IT BE SO
He was my favorite Fox character so I'll always hold out hope that he comes back and we get more rad slow-mo scenes set to music.
So the multiverse has been touched upon or at least alluded to in the following releases:
- Endgame (Ancient one; Steve Rogers)
- Loki
and is clearly a major part of:
- Spider-man No Way Home
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
- Ant-man and the Wasp Quantumania
It's clearly a major part of Phase 4, and they're obviously putting a lot of thought into how they handle it. I wonder to what extent existing, pre-Disney film properties will be incorporated (pretty strong rumours for Spider-man, but I'd like to know about X-men). I also wonder what this means for what the big bad threat for Phase 4 will be - is it Kang? Is it leading to Secret Wars-style clash of the multiverses? Thanos only showed up in the 6th MCU film, and didn't really culminate as the central baddie right until the end with Infinity War/Endgame, so I wonder how long they keep their powder dry for the next main villain, and if Phase 4, 5, 6,.... will be a 20+ film endeavour like the the Infinity Saga was.

Hope they don't gave Raimi any rules. Just let the man do what he feels like for Doctor Strange2.
I honestly feel as if Raimi is going to bounce similar to Edgar Wright.
He already finished a smooth production.
Yeah I'm sure he'll bounce from a movie that's already done filming and in post
I just hope they don't use this for cheap death fake outs. Oh this character died, but now they're back!
Is episode 2 the latest episode? We knew about multiverses since then.
I mean...Loki...
uh he already filmed the movie but ok if that's how you honestly feel
I sincerely hope all if the weak ideas of using the multiverse to introduce X-Men, Deadpool, etc are never played out on film. Marvel Studios can do much better than that.
Edit: Don't bother responding to subpar in an MCU thread. They're here to troll like always.

X-Men and mutants should appear naturally, they could have been in hiding in smaller numbers until they start rapidly appearing after the snap or something. No reason to use multiverse shenanigans to bring them in.
Fantastic Four on the other hand...they could do something interesting. I've been wondering if Immortus already knew Reed and Doom would be a challenge for him to deal with, so maybe he placed them outside of time and Sylvie killing him is what brings them back into the picture.
how unprofessional, finishing a movie like that
They already did it twice (Gamora and Loki) without even needing a multiverse, so...
To be frank, at this point I'm not 100% sure myself. Every time I thought I had it figured out, a new Loki episode threw a wrench at it. Do you have a link to somewhere that lays down the rules? (would have been great to have someone in that meeting clarify it all, hahah).
No, Kevin Feige doesn't play Among Us. People have used the phrase "suss out" since the 60s.
Episode 1 started setting up the multiverse dude. Unless you thought something called "The Sacred Timeline" wasn't gonna get shattered.
We've known about the multiverse in the MCU since The Ancient One described it at length in Doctor Strange
Is the multiverse the new "is thanos in it"
probably the opposite, as audiences have typically connected with meaningful canonical stories in the MCU
I imagine the sky is still the limit, but there are restrictions on when you're allowed to soar there.
I suspect you'd be surprised to hear the idiom "suss out" goes back well over half-of-century, and is not derived from "sus".
lol oh yeah? well, I'm as in the dark as the rest of you why it was 'cringe' in that case!
I loved HWR's exposition dump with the miniature visual guide lol. Shit already got crazy in episode 5 and I love all of it.
I wonder if the reason HWR let Thanos Snap happen is because he needed the Endgame Avengers to develop their time travel shit so he could reverse engineer it and improve upon it.
Hopefully it culminates in integrating motherfucking Charlie cox DD into the MCU. Come on you cowards, you know it's deserved.
Lol it's near non existent in the movies and subtle in the shows.
Also why are people spoilering stuff in a thread cleary marked as having spoilers?
I hope so too. It seems like every other week there's some shady rumor about him being in No Way Home. I've been hearing She-Hulk too.

the moment they talked about the sacred timeline It became pretty obvious that Loki would be the excuse to start the multiverse on MCU
which is funny because the multiverse is something that I associate with DC comics

I wonder what the reaction'll be if sometime in the future they pull a DC and put out a series of movies that have zero connection to the "main" universe so they can bring back Iron Man, Captain America, etc.. I have a sneaking suspicion that What if...? is a testing ground for something like that
No Way Home. Far From Home was the one with Mysterio and Tony Stark's drone controlling super glasses.
I just don't want people to go crazy with thier expectations about the multiverse stuff. It's just a tool in the toolbox is not going to be the mission statement going forward.
Wait until they bring us EXiles. To this day the beat multiverse comic I have ever read.
