(Who can say for sure, as release dates have become
With Alien and Predator coming under the Marvel banner, it makes me wonder if Marvel wants to somehow include them in their cinematic universe. It sounds preposterous, of course, but they’ve pulled off crazier things before. The other possibility is that Disney wants to create a new timeline for the movies like they did with
Justice League was set to close out a trilogy of sorts that Zack Snyder started with 2013’s Man of Steel. But following his departure from the project, his initial story plans were changed immensely.

Whoa, back up…. three months of training for a single scene?
