Since there's a teaser trailer for it, that would be an enormous failure to fire Chekhov's Gun. That baby's gonna have some significance - you can count on it.

I think as a shot in a teaser, it may just be making it clear that Steve Rogers built a life for himself. Quite possibly in a timeline that Steve is forced to permanently leave for the greater good.

However, if you are correct, note that "significant" and "actually played as a meaningful, realized character" are not the same thing. The kid can be a McGuffin, effectively an object that moves the plot.

In the comics, Steve doesn't have any kids that have turned into permanent characters - the kids he has had have all been in alternate timelines and "What Ifs" that haven't then entered the main comics continuity.

The problem is the non avenger scripts stink and for the most part the actors can’t carry a movie.

I don’t know…I enjoyed F4 a lot, and thought Thunderbolts was a successful outing. But that’s just me.

F4 was an excellent movie, and as a huge fan of the team I really wanted it to be. It was IMO at least as good as many, if not most of the pre-Endgame era films.

They were ok . I like Pedro and the cast but they didn’t have enough and unlike say avengers or captain America I had no desire to rewatch

Sebastian Stan is an ok actor but he doesn’t have same screen presence as Chris Evan’s

Maybe it’s me lol

Personal preference is totally valid

. I’m the opposite with FF4…it’s the one I’ve actually managed to sit through in its entirety more than once. I guess it just really resonated with me.

Totally agree with this. I think one of its strengths was that they let it be its own thing (being in an alternate earth). So much so, that I don’t want to see them moved somehow to Earth 616…I want them to stay on their own world. It’s a much better place

But I think the sense of family they managed to create really worked to sell the movie. But again, that’s just my take.

There hasn't been an MCU movie that I can think of that didn't have stars that can and have carried films.

The MCU's problems lie elsewhere.

No, it isn't just you. I liked them as well.
If I go back over the past five years, I found most of their movie offerings worth the time I spent on them, though a couple I didn't bother to see in theaters.

I don’t think the latest Marvel films have been bad, I think it’s the audience has become jaded. My partner really liked F4, but I was more meh. But then I’ve always found the F4 a bit twee. It was the other way round with Thunderbolts.
