But for me, Scorpion will always be the version that they used in the 90s animated series:


So it's hard for me to get behind the low-contrast, gimp-mask-esque version that's getting released. Which sucks, because I am a HUGE sucker for green, but that big blob of solid green ain't working for me.

I wish this new Scorpion had the Animated Series' costume. But on the bright side, Hasbro is almost to the point where they'll have to start remaking villains in alternate costumes. So I think there's a chance that we could see Scorpion in this costume in the next few years.

Spider-Man, BLack Panther and Captain Marvel are going to be sure hits, and perhaps Ant-Man and Dr. Strange. GOTG still has many issues to sort out.

I know they've got a Black Widow, Eternals and Shang-Chi movie in the works, but what seem to be on most everyone's mind is mutants. Unfortunately I read somewhere the Feige said it would be 5 years before the X-men have their movie - which of course wouldn't negate them showing up in other movies. I feel like Phase 4 will keep the universe afloat but only with the purpose of getting to Phase 5, where I'm sure the X-Men will come into prime focus. I'm really hoping we can get a Moon Knight movie but that doesn't seem to be on the radar really.

Of course, you also have Fantastic Four in there and they may come earlier than that. And they bring two very high profile villains that could easily be the next "big bad" of the MCU: Doom and Kang.

I believe there's also supposed to be another Thor movie after GOTG 3. And I would guess that the Falcon/Winter Soldier series on Disney+ will lead into Captain America 4.

Personally, I think Marvel will keep the X-Men on the shelf longer than most people expect. First and foremost, there needs to be a cool down period of several years. Most fans aren't happy to see a super hero reboot just a few years after the previous film series ended. We've seen this happen twice with Spiderman. And there are several things that Marvel needs to figure out before they can even start filming. How do they introduce mutants? Why would people be afraid of them if people are used to the Avengers running around? Who's on the team? Will they be based in New York or have they been hiding in the Australian Outback (which could explain why we haven't seen them yet)? And those questions are just related to the story. On the production side of the movie, they'll need to redesign the mansion, danger room, Cerebro, and the costumes. Wolverine's mask in particular will be a headache. They'll also need to recast all of the characters.

I think Fantastic Four will arrive before X-Men. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who has an attachment to the last FF movie, leaving most people to be excited to for a reboot. And like you said, the FF will introduce some heavy hitters to the MCU like Doom and Kang. Although I think the next big bad of the MCU will be Galactus and his herald. If Marvel wants to put more focus on the cosmic with the Eternals, Captain Marvel, and GOTG, then I think Galactus makes more sense. Characters could arrive at a planet to find it destroyed or cross paths with the herald, whether that's Silver Surfer or another.
