Finally, here is a case study in MCU connectivity, looking back at the lead-up and aftermath of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Do you want to see this degree of connectivity with Captain America: Civil War?

So according to Anthony Mackie
the Hulk might be in Captain America: Civil War, after all…
Here’s
an awesome Empire cover in which Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr.
reenact one of the classic shots from the comic book “Civil War.”

Here is the
long-awaited Daredevil season 2 trailer:
What do you think? I think it’s absolutely awesome… and there’s
a second part coming out next Thursday!
To tide you over until
next Thursday, here is a teaser
hinting at the epic chained-Daredevil scene from the comics, along with a
poster:

As was rumored a while
back, Natalia Cordova-Buckley has been cast
as Elena Rodriguez, a Colombian Inhuman based on the Marvel Comics character
Yo-Yo Rodriguez, a.k.a. Slingshot. In
the comics Yo-Yo has the ability to move at super speed, but always
“slingshots” back to the place where she started. I hope they decide to stick with that power;
it’s pretty cool and unique!
Here is a promo
for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3B premiere, which includes our first
looks at Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Slingshot, Zombie Ward, and a couple new
Inhumans. Let’s see: one looks at an agent and put him in a catatonic
state, and one looks like it might be Absorbing Man (who is back for the
midseason premiere). Also, President Ellis is going to be
appearing, so that’s cool.

Anything not
related to the MCU that I find interesting
So the Deadpool
movie smashed all the records
for a February opening weekend, with $135 million domestically and $125 million
internationally, and all on a $58 million budget!
Yet another report has surfaced
lending credence to the rumor that Wolverine 3 will be R-Rated and adapt
the “Old Man Logan” storyline. As cool
as this sounds, I do wonder how it will jive with the FOX X-Men timeline.
There’s a rumor from a
French magazine claiming that Jena Malone’s mysterious role in Batman v.
Superman is none other than Barbara Gordon. This isn’t confirmed by DC or WB, but it
would make sense. I find Batgirl to be
an interesting character, so I hope this is true (and that we see more of the
Bat Family in the DCEU).
Here
is a trailer and casting announcement for the beginning of production on Star
Wars: Episode VIII.
