But they do seem to be playing up the idea that there's going to be multiples of the people who use "Marvel" in their name. I mean, look...I'm just wildly guessing on a title in an announcement video. I don't know what they're gonna do.
Carol and Monica fly to space to rescue Kamala from the Kree who are kidnapping Inhumans to turn them into weapons.
Gets all three characters involved, allows the MCU to smoothly reintroduce Inhumans again, keeps the film focussed on major ideas from the first film (about the Kree), allows the return of Yon Rogg and/or the Supreme Intelligence in a villainous role, allows the movie to balance the space character nature of Carol with the more Earth bound Ms Marvel and the in-between the two status of Monica. Oh, and it's a really clear way of introducing how Kamala thinks about superheroes.
Downsides are, of course, that it's a bit damsel in distress-y.

Wikipedia informs me that The Marvels will come after the Ms Marvel show, but that’s all I got.

I'm aware. And as I've stated previously, I don't think the metaphor works with them. Since, you know, Mutants are legitimately dangerous and probably should be monitored.

So presumably we're going to get chapter and verse about how this is all lies because it doesn't fit what people want to believe.

Most importantly, I’m pretty sure the whole thing with her kids originally being pieces of his soul was largely accidental on his part - as best I can tell, he was basically exploded at the time she used his soul fragments, and taking them back was primarily a matter of putting himself back to better, with making her insane as side-benefit.
On the Cthon side, he’s the source of Chaos magic in the comics, as well as writer of the Darkhold - he’s tried to possess her several times (and manipulated some events of her early life to that end). His origin includes being the original evil sorcerer or sumsuch, up to the position of Sorcerer Supreme originally being created to oppose him (obviously, these days it’s more associated with opposing Dormammu, or to a lesser extent Shuma-Gorath).
Edit: Not to say Mephisto isn’t still a possibility or has potential in other areas, but rather that Cthon has more of a connection to comics!Wanda to utilize in the movies.

On Strange 2, I’m mostly on the Nightmare train because he seems fairly logical for a semi-horror movie + the director of the first originally having wanted him for that one. Who knows, maybe the horror elements aren’t a principal feature of the villain (Cthon, Mephisto) or they’ll go cosmic horror (Shuma-Gorath). Idk really

What If? looks like a trainwreck that consists far too much of "what if X character was Y hero instead" rather than exploring more conceptual ideas combined with dodgy (read: unconventional aesthetic choices) animation.

People said the same thing about the animation in the previews for Spiderverse, and look how that turned out.
