Another week, and more
MCU news! There isn’t a ton this week, but there are several rumors out
about Thor: Ragnarok, Inhumans, and Marvel Netflix. Oh, and FOX announced a couple X-Men
TV series. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up (*ducks*) on your
Marvel news!
Mostly MCU Reviews
My articles from
the week
Here is a quick
article with my guesses for the recently-announced 2020 Marvel movies. What do you think they will be?
With everything going
on in the realm of Marvel TV, I decided to write a quick rundown
of all the series, including those in development. Which are you most excited for?
Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3, episode 3, “A Wanted (Inhu)man” expectations
and review. What did you think of it?
The third article in
my “All-New, All-Different Marvel and the MCU” series: MCU teams. Which of these characters or team concepts do
you want to see in the MCU?

So there’s a new rumor
floating around that Rachel McAdams’ character in Doctor Strange is a
Night Nurse, but not the Linda Carter iteration. Rather, the rumor suggests that she is
playing Christine Palmer,
a Night Nurse who comes from more of a surgical background. What do you think of this rumor? Would you rather see her as Clea?
The Hulk/Banner is
rumored
to be appearing in Thor: Ragnarok, and may have a significant role. Any guesses?
Now there are even
more details coming out
about Thor: Ragnarok. In addition
to the Hulk, Valkyrie may make her MCU debut, which is exciting as she is not
only a badass female hero but one of the best swordsmen in the Marvel Universe.

It is also reported
that the original script was too dark, and that’s why Marvel may be hiring
Taika Waititi (a director with a comedic background) to direct and tweak the
script. Which of these rumors do you
find most interesting?
Now that F. Gary Gray
is out of the running to direct Black Panther (I guess Fast and
Furious 8 sounds cooler), Ryan Coogler (director of Creed) is the
rumored frontrunner
for Black Panther.
Remember that rumor
I mentioned last week about The Inhumans being canceled? There’s another rumor
now that the previous rumor was incorrect.
To be honest, I figured it was just BS.
Are you excited for The Inhumans?
On the subject of The
Inhumans, Vin Diesel is yet again teasing that Marvel may have him in mind
to play Black Bolt. Specifically, he said that “We’ve heard a lot
of talk about Marvel wanting to have me play a character that doesn’t have my
voice. So my voice is used for Groot and my presence is used for the other
character.” The one question I have with
that is the “character that doesn’t have my voice,” as Black Bolt does
have a voice, but he doesn’t speak at all except when he’s making things go
“boom.” Do you want to see Vin Diesel
play Black Bolt?
Powers Boothe has been
cast as
Gideon Malick in a recurring role on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. According to Screen Crush,
this is the same character that Boothe previously played in The Avengers,
creating yet another big-screen/small-screen connection in season 3 (following
the same president from Iron Man 3 appearing in the pilot). It sounds like Malick will be another
antagonist, and possibly connected with Hydra.
How do you think he will factor in?
Carrie Anne Moss has
been announced to be playing Jeryn Hogarth,
and attorney who is the business manager for the Heroes for Hire in the
comics. This is a gender swap from the
comics. What do you think of this
announcement?
Daredevil villain Nuke
may be coming to Jessica Jones,
at least based on Wil Traval’s description of his character. Does that mean he will still be a psychotic
super-soldier with a flag tattooed on his face?

The first episode of Jessica
Jones season 1 premiered at NYCC, and so far it has gotten glowing reviews. Excited?
If you’re not excited
for Jessica Jones yet, go to Comixology
and download the newly-released tie-in comic.
It’s nothing huge, but showcases the fact that JJ and DD are both in
the same area and dealing with the same criminals.
Luke Cage’s
catchphrase, “Sweet Christmas,” will be appearing in both series
(Jessica Jones and Luke Cage).
Here
is a description of the Daredevil season 2 footage shown at NYCC. And here it is! What do you think?
According to Mike Colter,
Luke Cage will take place a few months after Jessica Jones and in
Harlem. What do you think he’s running
from? I have a theory…
Do you think Coulson
will drop by Hell’s Kitchen
at some point? I definitely wouldn’t be
surprised by it.
Part of the fun of
Comic-Cons: seeing the characters and
teams together for the first time.
Which series are you
most looking forward to?
Rumor Has It
that Marvel is planning a Moon Knight Netflix series, with the character
first appearing in another character’s series.
I’ll have an article on this later today, but what do you think of it
for now?
News from Around
Geekdom
Anything not
related to the MCU that I find interesting
Breaking News: FOX and Marvel came to an agreement
which will see FOX produce 2 X-Men TV series, one for FOX (Hellfire),
and one for FX (Legion). IT’S THE
APOCALYPSE!!!1! *ahem* No word yet on
the details of the agreement, though Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory from Marvel
Television are credited as executive producers for both series. I’m hoping that Marvel got back the rights to
at least some of the cosmic characters included in the FF. And according to Den of Geek,
that is exactly what happened: Marvel is
getting back the Fantastic Four, as well as Galactus, Silver Surfer, and Dr.
Doom!... and the rumor is debunked. What do you think the agreement is? Are you going to watch either of these
series?
They are still being
kind of up-in-the-air
as to whether or not Supergirl is in the DCTVU with Arrow, The
Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.
They want to establish that show on its own merits before talking
crossover.
Apparently the
practical sets and effects used on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story meet Alan Tudyk’s approval. I definitely like how the new Star Wars
movies are going practical as much as possible.
So he didn’t go into
the exact numbers, but apparently Joss Whedon actually made more money
off Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog than The Avengers. Ouch.
Of course, he did fund the whole thing himself, meaning that pretty much
any profit goes to him, so…
Speaking of Joss
Whedon hits with cult followings, the Firefly cast would be game
for a second season. Would you want to
see Firefly season 2?
Steven Spielberg is
considering
an Indiana Jones 5 with Harrison Ford.
If they can do some time-travel hijinx to make Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not exist, I’d be interested.
In answer to
everyone’s burning Jurassic World question, wearing heels was a
character choice by Bryce Dallas Howard: She felt that made sense for Claire. Does this appease you?
