Another week, and more MCU news! Comic-Con concluded this week, so we've got a lot of new stuff to talk about. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and
catch-up on your Marvel news!
Mostly MCU Reviews
My articles from the week
This week I reviewed one of my
top-3 MCU movies, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
It’s getting really hard to keep it that
high, though, with Civil War, Avengers, Thor, Ant-Man,
and Guardians all vying for a spot in the Top 3
Here
is my summary of the results from this year’s Comic-Con. In some ways it exceeded my expectations;
in others it still left me wanting.
This is the first in a two-part
series on Tie-Ins. Next week will be a look ahead to potential Agents
of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 tie-ins.

And here is the trailer:
Thoughts?
I guess we don’t have to call
Maury: the question of Star Lord’s daddy
has been answered! And it is… Ego the Living Planet,
played by Kurt Russell! How? Who knows…
Elizabeth Debicki is in fact
playing Ayesha
in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Check out this concept art
for the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming:

I’d say he looks pretty cool,
even if Marvel had to update the suit.
In addition to Vulture, both the
Tinkerer and Shocker may also appear
in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Hopefully Marvel can do a better job of juggling multiple villains that
Sony has.
Tony Revolori will be playing
Flash Thompson
in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Might
he eventually get all symbioted-up as Agent Venom? I sure hope so!
According to Kevin Feige, there
are sequels planned
for Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they are taking cues from Harry
Potter for how to work sequels which highlight a year of a group of
students’ life.
This
sure makes it look like they will be working some “Planet Hulk” elements into Thor:
Ragnarok:

Are you excited for this?
Marvel has officially renamed Avengers:
Infinity War Part 1 as… Avengers: Infinity War. Not much of a shocker there. No word on what they are renaming the second
one yet. Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity
Stones, and Infinity Watch are all options. But I think Infinity Watch would be
better as a follow-up to that fourth Avengers movie.
Marvel officially has its Captain
(Marvel) and it is… Brie Larson!
Would you like to see Joss Whedon
direct a Black Widow movie? I know I would!
Positive Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. news: with the Inhumans
movie delays, AoS is free to use more of the “classic characters”
such as the Royal Family.
Negative Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. news: Adrianne Palicki
signed on
as the female lead in a new FOX series.
I guess this means there isn’t much hope of Bobbi and Hunter returning
to AoS—though it’s always possible for them to make a guest appearance
at some point.
Here
are the titles for the first three episodes of Luke Cage:
“Moment of Truth”“Code of the Streets”“Who’s Gonna Take the Weight?”
Unsurprising news: We won’t get more Daredevil or Jessica
Jones until 2018. Honestly, that’s what I was expecting. 2017 we’ll get Iron Fist and The
Defenders, and in 2018 we’ll get Daredevil, Jessica Jones,
and maybe even The Punisher, too.
Why didn’t Netflix pick up Agent
Carter? Business. Apparently international distribution deals
are weird. Darn.
News from Around Geekdom
Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
The answer to which new Marvel TV
production Joe Quesada would be showing off on Saturday: Legion. Considering all the MCU projects in the
pipeline, I’m actually disappointed that it’s the non-MCU one, but it makes
sense that they would debut it this way.
No real surprise here: Ben Affleck is confirmed
to direct the Batman solo film.
Katie Cassidy signed a deal
with WB allowing her to appear in all of the Arrowverse shows. Huh.
And I thought Arrow killed Laurel off…
Warner Bros. is indeed making a Justice
League Dark animated movie,
and Matt Ryan will reprise his role by voicing John Constantine.
