Another week, and more MCU news! Marvel
and Netflix have a lot of stuff going on, particularly with Luke Cage
only about 6 weeks away. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up on
your Marvel news!

My articles from the week
This week, instead of looking
back at one of the movies, I looked back at Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
season 2. Specifically, I finally
realized just what it is about the second half of that season that bugs me so
much. And here it is. Do you agree?
Here
is a list of magic users from the comics that I think could fit really well
into the MCU after Doctor Strange.
Who do you want to see?

Michael Chernus has been cast as
the Tinkerer
in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Here
is a tentative confirmation that Rachael Taylor will be back as Trish Walker
for The Defenders! And I think
it’s about even odds that she will be suiting up as Hellcat for the
miniseries. After all, it’s a decent
chance that each of the eponymous Defenders will bring a “plus-one” to the
party: Daredevil and Punisher, Jessica
Jones and Hellcat, Luke Cage and Misty Knight, Iron Fist and Colleen Wing.
Jeph Loeb is teasing
the idea of a spinoff Misty Knight series. At the same time, though, he also says that
“We have to be careful that we’re not becoming the Marvel channel on
Netflix.” Honestly, I would have
absolutely no problem with a full-on “Marvel-Netflix Channel.”
Rumor Has It that Marvel and Netflix are working on four new series which would
(presumably) follow The Defenders for which they have shot “pilot
shorts,” and one of these is White Tiger. According to the rumor, this would follow
Angela del Toro, who was namedropped in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Easter egg
in Jessica Jones. I would love to
see this, as she would be the first Hispanic hero from Marvel comics (excluding
Joey, who is an original character created for AoS) to appear on screen
in the MCU. No guarantees—after all,
this is the second rumor of Marvel and Netflix working on four new series,
and the only one out of that group to get greenlit was The Punisher. I'll talk a little more about this either this evening or tomorrow, but for now what are your thoughts on this rumor?

Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
Warner Bros. has placed a Man
of Steel sequel into “active development.” Huh.
And I thought Superman was dead…
It’s a good bet that this sequel will see the eponymous Man of Steel
resurrected, but personally I think I’d rather see a take on the “Reign of the
Supermen” story arc from the comics. In
other words, let Supes stay dead for a bit before (inevitably) bringing him
back! Am I off-base on that? Would you rather they revive him right away?
Star Wars Rebels will return on Saturday, September 24, at 8:30 PM ET.
It turns out that the rumors are
true: Star Trek: Discovery does
take place before The Original Series, a decade to be precise. It will also follow the lieutenant commander
instead of the captain. Are you excited
for it?
So Sony is going to give The
Chronicles of Narnia another try with The Silver Chair. It sounds like this is going to be something
of a soft reboot of the series, considering how poorly both Prince Caspian
and Voyage of the Dawn Treader were received. Honestly, if it is good I might see it, but
it will have to do a lot. Caspian
was such a disappointment that I didn’t see Dawn Treader and have not
regretted that decision for a moment!
