Another week, and more MCU news! A lot of rumors, but not a lot of specific news. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and
catch-up on your Marvel news!
Mostly MCU Reviews
My articles from the week
First up for the week is my review
of Captain America: The First Avenger.
Next, my thoughts
on where Foggy’s characters could go after Daredevil season 2. Do you want to see a “Superhuman Law Office”
in the Marvel Netflix universe?

Captain America: Civil War will be available on DVD/Blu-Ray
on September 13,
with the digital version available September 2!
I will definitely pick it up; will you?
At this point it is unknown if
this belongs in this section or the next one, but Sony is supposedly interested
in a Silver Sable movie,
based on the Spider-Man antiheroine who leads a pack of mercenaries. We don’t know yet if this would be set in the
MCU or not (like that stupid Spidey-less-Venom movie “idea”), but for
myself, I probably won’t see it if it isn’t set in the MCU. Would you?
Another exciting rumor revolves
around the possibility of a Marvel/FOX collaboration. There isn’t any real news of what this would
involve, but my hope is that it will be an MCU-set version of the Fantastic
Four (with Marvel getting creative control).
This would be a good way to get the two studios working together, and
the Fantastic Four might actually be a good way for the X-Men to find their way
into the MCU (by means of extra-dimensional travel, a specialty of the
Fantastic Four). Is this something you
would be interested in seeing?
Daredevil season 1 received a Saturn Award
for Best New Media TV Series. Ant-Man
also won a Saturn Award,
this one for Best Comic-to-Film Motion Picture. Cool!
We only have to wait about 2½
months for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to return on September 20,
in a later timeslot (10 PM Eastern).
That feels really long, but it will probably pass rather quickly. In the meantime we do have Comic-Con to look
forward to.
There are some really interesting
casting calls
and rumors for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
they are casting a female Life-Model Decoy named Aida (the one that
Ratcliffe was working on at the end of the season 3 finale), as well as a pair
of Latino brothers rumored
to be Robbie and Gabe Reyes. Robbie
Reyes is the most recent incarnation of Ghost Rider, which would be pretty
wild: Ghost Rider on a TV effects
budget. This probably doesn’t rule out a
future appearance by the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider on Netflix, but it
would definitely strain the budget for AoS, at least if he goes all
Ghost Rider too often! I wonder if they
will make anything of the comic book relationship between James (J.T.) Slade (a.k.a. Hellfire)
and the original Ghost Rider, Carter Slade.

Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
In addition to a price increase
to $10/month, Netflix is also looking into making some content available to
download
for offline viewing.
