Another week, and more
MCU news! Comic-Con is over, Ant-Man just came out, and so much more. Put some ketchup
on your eggs, and catch-up (*ducks*) on your Marvel news!
Mostly MCU Reviews
My articles from
the week
First up, ScreenRant
published an article entitled “15 Avengers Who Will Never Be Featured In Marvel Movies.” Here
and here
is my two-part response.
Now that I’ve finished
reviewing Daredevil season 1, here
is what I’m looking for in season 2. What
do you want to see from Daredevil season 2?
This is the last
article in my series leading up to Ant-Man: a list of characters who used Pym Particles
in the comics. Did you find this helpful?
On that note, here
are my Ant-Man expectations, and here
is my non-spoiler review of Ant-Man.
The spoiler review will be coming shortly. Have you seen it yet?
Finally, my reviews of
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1 episode 15, “Yes Men,”
and episode 16, “End of the Beginning.” What was your favorite part from these two
episodes? Sif? The Winter Soldier build-up?

Well, we didn’t get a
ton of Marvel news out of Comic-Con, but we did get a whole lot of this. Awesome.
In case you missed any of it, here
is a compilation video of all of them. And
then there’s this one. Which is your favorite?
According to Joss
Whedon, we shouldn’t expect a Director’s Cut of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
So there’s a movie
that came out this weekend. Here’s a
rundown of everything connected with it:
- Peyton Reed talking about his experience coming into the picture so late in the game
- Evangeline Lilly talking about her character and her Marvel future (hint if you haven't seen the movie yet: it's bright)
- Well, huh (*shudders*)
- What do you think of Catherine Zeta-Jones to play Janet van Dyne in the Ant-Man sequel? Michael Douglas is a fan. But then, he’s married to her!
- An interview with Scott Lang’s crew about Marvel and comedy
- An interview with Corey Stoll about playing Darren Cross
- Spoiler will be in a Phase 3 movie
Spider-Man and the
Punisher have officially met. Do you want to see them team up for Marvel
after shooting a non-Marvel movie together?
Here are a couple of
pics of RDJ taking a break from shooting Captain America: Civil War and
looking a little worse for wear. I’m not exactly surprised; he isn’t shooting Captain
America and Iron Man: BFFs after
all!
Tilda Swinton has
confirmed
that she is going to be playing the Ancient One in Doctor Strange (about
time, considering that they’re already filming!). What do you think of the casting? Considering that she’s practically from
another dimension already, I think it’s almost a perfect casting!
Marvel and Sony are
reportedly in talks with writers
for the Spider-Man reboot.
No surprise here: Jaimie Alexander will be back as Sif for Thor:
Ragnarok.
Emmy nominations are in. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil,
Constantine, Gotham, and The Flash all were
nominated. Which do you think should
win?
Here
are some more Jessica Jones photos, this time official ones! I am seriously pump for this show! Are they going to announce a release date any
time soon?
Jeph Loeb was asked
about crossover potential for Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Here’s
what he said. To me it seems inevitable
that they’re going to meet, even if Matt doesn’t show up in Jessica Jones
season 1.
Talk of Wesley Snipes
returning as Blade is back again. What do you think of this rumor?
I don’t normally
include these types of articles in the Weekly MCU Review, but I think this one
is deserving: Comicbook.com’s “Five Ways Blade Could Fit Into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” I think any one of these storylines would be
interesting. However, that’s not why I’m
including it. I’m including it because I
don’t think they are answering the question at all. For me the question isn’t “how can Marvel use
Blade?” but rather “how can Marvel work in Blade?” If Wesley Snipes returns to the role, does
that bring the Blade trilogy into the MCU? And if it does, how will it fit in with the
existing continuity?
Here is an article
from MCUExchange explaining who Lash (announced for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
season 3) is. Is this helpful?
News from Around
Geekdom
Anything not
related to the MCU that I find interesting
Looking forward to
seeing Spidey and Deadpool team up post-Secret Wars?
Does this
mean that Fant4stic is in trouble?
What do you think of
this reveal of Doom’s origin
in Fant4stic?
Speaking of Victor
Domashev, do you want to see him face off against the MCU Avengers? Personally, I’d rather wait and see him face
off against the Fantastic Four before talking about him facing the
Avengers. I mean, if he’s a terrible
villain, he’s not going to beat up on Thor; he’s going to experience firsthand
what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning!
Fant4stic
doesn’t have a post-credits scene. So you don’t have to stay after the credits
if you’re going.
We now know who the Four Horsemen will be in X-Men: Apocalypse. Are you excited for this one?
Hugh Jackman teased at
Comic-Con that Wolverine (his third solo movie) will be “Old Man Logan.” Are you excited to see it? How do you think Fox will handle it, seeing
how they don’t own a lot of the characters who appear in the story arc
(Hawkeye, Hulk, She-Hulk, Red Skull…)?
It should be easy enough for them to switch out some of the
characters: Gambit instead of Hawkeye,
Deadpool instead of Hulk (now that would be twisted!), Magneto instead
of Red Skull, etc.
I assume everyone’s
seen the SDCC2015 Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. What did you think of it? I admit, I was not planning on seeing the
movie (1 massive shared universe is enough for me!), but I’m definitely
starting to come around on it.
Well BvS has at
least one high-profile critic thanks to that trailer. Grant Morrison is concerned about the
portrayal of Wonder Woman as primarily a warrior. Personally, I’m going to wait until it’s out
in theaters before jumping to any conclusions about its portrayal of any of the
characters.
It’s official: the Green Lantern reboot has been titled Green Lantern Corps. Which Corps members would you like to see?
Here is Ezra Miller’s take on The Flash. Personally, I think they need to have both
Flashes in the movie and have some sort of parallel universes story. What do you think?
Gotham season 2
is going to see the “rise of the villains.” Did you watch season 1?
Mr. Terrific is coming
to Arrow season 4. Would you like to see Matt Ryan’s John
Constantine join them?
DC is going to go back
to publishing its Milestone Comics. I remember enjoying the Static Shock
series back in the day. Are you excited
to see more from this pocket of the DC universe?
Here
are some Star Wars rumors centering around Han Solo. What do you think?
Well, I’m still not
sure if Warcraft is feasible as a movie (I mean, when do video
game-based movies ever work out?), but at least the concept posters from
Comic-Con look good. Are you going to see this when it comes out?
Are you excited for
Joss Whedon’s newest project? It’s a
Dark Horse Comics miniseries called Twist,
focusing on a female Victorian-era Batman!
A live-action prequel
to Aladdin focusing on the Genie. Huh.
I’m not sure what I think just yet, but it could be cool.
