Clearly RDJ doesn't have a Disney+ account.

I see I missed the Shalla-Bal discourse.
There is an older Marvel Comics continuity called Earth X where Franklin Richards became Galactus and made Shalla-Bal into the Silver Surfer. So it's not like this is completely out of nowhere or anything. Also doesn't mean Norrin can't show up either at some point.

Clearly RDJ doesn't have a Disney+ account. He has something more important to him: bank accounts.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say they went with Shalla-Bal now because they probably intend on doing something bigger with the Silver Surfer proper later. See also, them holding off on introducing Captain Marvel in the "New Avengers" scene in Age of Ultron to instead let her debut in her own film.

OR did the Disney report only report that she was Shalla-Bal and someone searched her name in like 5 minutes and saw the Silver Surfer design...

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Considering the news out of Captain America 4 that Thunderbolt Ross wants to reform the Avengers, I'm willing to bet the asterisk implies "Thunderbolts" is a placeholder for "Thunderbolt's Avengers".

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Considering the news out of Captain America 4 that Thunderbolt Ross wants to reform the Avengers, I'm willing to bet the asterisk implies "Thunderbolts" is a placeholder for "Thunderbolt's Avengers". {Spoiler}it’s being heavily rumored that not all of the Thunderbolts survive and the remaining part is included in the Dark Avengers. I can see Val making a power play on Ross especially if he goes Red Hulk in Cap 4. Let her form the Dark Avengers and Ross in a desperation move looks to the Raft to form his next Thunderbolts team…one we’d be more familiar with.

So he wanted to kamikazee Kang probably. He should have died…at Kang’s hand. Both can still happen in Avengers 5. Kang Prime knows the danger Hank poses to him seeing what Stark did with his Pym Particles in Endgame so he murks him. Then he gets his wish and in his dying breath does some crazy shit to buy the Avengers time to escape.

I have to get to the marvels eventually, so this is gonna be a general point. With the room they have to try new things and explore different characters, universes, etc, it wouldn't hurt to give other shows and people a chance to run the offense every now and then

They did basically a whole phase of trying new things and nothing stuck. But the situation is they don't really have any of the old things to fall back on.
Steve Rogers is out, Tony Stark is out, Black Widow is out, for whatever contract reasons, they won't/can't make a Hulk solo, Hawkeye had a show but isn't interesting enough to carry a movie.
They whiffed on Doctor Strange 2, Wanda's a mess, Vision's a mess, SHIELD/Nick Fury is a mess. They've got a whole ass show about the VILLAIN from WandaVision, a show that got good buzz, and then bad buzz for fizzling out in the finale.
It is, from a business perspective, negligent to be doing anything but the most recognizable X-Men and Spider-Man stories that will bring people back despite their current reputation of being the studio that was great and completely fell apart the second they completed their big story arc. Playtime with niche characters (even by comic standards) is over because they overindulged on trying new things while doing the minimum amount of crossover/world-building to keep people invested.

Haven't seen The Marvels yet, but lose the S in "Marvels" and you have the perfect description of the MCU over the past several years: "The Marvel problem was it wasn't amazing but it wasn't terrible either." I still think, the years of COVID and the push for Disney+ notwithstanding, the MCU should have taken a rest for at least 5 years after Endgame or, at the latest, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
