Another week, and more
MCU news! Jessica Jones has been out for a week—has everyone
watched it? The Civil War trailer
was released Tuesday! Fant4stic 2
is dead in the water… is that even surprising?
And a ton of DC rumors! Put some ketchup on your eggs, and
catch-up on your Marvel news!

My articles from
the week
What with the whole “Jessica
Jones came out last Friday” thing, three of my four articles for this week
are about Jessica Jones:
non-spoiler reviews of the first half
and second half
of the series, as well as a spoiler review of the first episode, “AKA Ladies Night.” What do you think of the series if you’ve
seen it? Just keep spoilers out of the
comment section of the non-spoiler reviews!
And then, to make up
for no Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this week, here are my thoughts on the
possibility of Miles Morales in the MCU. Do you want to see him eventually, and if so,
when?

An early Christmas
present: Chris Evans and RDJ premiered
the first trailer and new posters for Captain
America: Civil War on Tuesday night!
That trailer… absolutely incredible!
I think that makes up for not having Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on
Tuesday, wouldn't you say?
Here
is a new synopsis for Civil War released with the trailer. What are your thoughts?
In more AoS-less-Tuesday
news, Marvel officially announced the start of production on Doctor Strange.
There is a new rumor
that Marvel is casting Natalia Cordova-Buckley to play Yo-Yo Rodriguez, a.k.a.
Slingshot, on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Slingshot is one of the Secret Warriors from the comics, and the
daughter of Johnny Horton, a.k.a. the Griffin, who was actually referenced by
Garrett as the first prisoner he ever brought to the Fridge. She has the ability of super-speed, with the
added twist that she always “slingshots” back to her starting location. As of now this is just a rumor reported by a
single source, but if it is true it would be the first (second including Daisy)
member of the comic book Secret Warriors team to join the TV iteration of the
team. Do you want to see Slingshot on
the Secret Warriors? I sure do!
Here
is a new promo teaser for Agent Carter season 2. Who do you think that is frozen in ice?
Sonia Braga has been
cast as Soledad Temple,
Claire’s mother, in Luke Cage.

Anything not
related to the MCU that I find interesting
In a completely unsurprising move,
FOX finally removed the Fantastic Four sequel from its release
schedule. Did anyone not see that move
coming? Anyone? Bueller?
There’s a new rumor
that Black Canary
will be introduced in Justice League Part 1 to set her up for a future
appearance in a Birds of Prey movie.
There’s a rumor
that Supergirl and Flash could cross over before next year’s
“sweeps week,” which would expand the interconnected DCTVU to include 5 series
on 3 networks (including Constantine on NBC after Matt Ryan’s appearance
on Arrow this season). The
article suggests that there would need to be some retconning to make Superman
and Supergirl fit into the DCTVU, but I really don’t think so: since when does
the news in Central City and Starling City need to report on Superman saving
the day in Metropolis? There’s more than
enough happening in those cities for Superman’s more mundane acts to not
require much mention.
There’s another rumor (DC’s got a lot
of those this week!) that Constantine will become a series regular in Legends
of Tomorrow season 2. Want to see
more of Matt Ryan?
