Another week, and more MCU news! Iron
Fist came out yesterday. And Sony is
still trying to make a Venom movie—whether or not it’s in the MCU is
still not known. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up on your
Marvel news!

My articles from the week
Just two articles this week, both
focused on Iron Fist. The first
is a “Too Long; Didn’t Watch”
summary of everything Marvel TV up to this point. The second is my expectations
for the show. I’m a third of the way
through now, so I will probably get my non-spoiler review of the first half
published today or tomorrow, with the second half coming on Tuesday or so.

I’m not sure at the moment if
this goes in the “MCU News” category or the “News from Around Geekdom”
category, but Sony is moving forward with a Venom movie after all. It is currently set for an October 5, 2018,
release. However, there is no
information yet as to whether it will be part of the MCU. If it is, that would be awesome. If it is not, someone at Sony has clearly lost their mind. We’ve already seen that they can’t really do
the character justice (c.f. Spider-Man 3) and that they’ve really lost
their independent Spider-Man mojo (c.f. Spider-Man 3, The Amazing
Spider-Man 2)
After all the negative initial
reviews, Finn Jones defended Iron Fist to Metro by saying that it was made for the fans.
While that is always the case, you also
hope that the story will meet critical approval, as well.
This
isn’t terribly surprising. The
appearance of Shou-Lao was one of my biggest concerns about Iron Fist, given
the show’s TV budget. I’m honestly still
surprised that they are going to put a guy with ox legs, a fish-person, and a
freaking giant dog on TV with Marvel’s Inhumans! Now let’s just hope they do it well…

Here is at least one definite
connection between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Inhumans: the Kree writing will feature on
Inhumans. That definitely makes sense.

Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
So Aquaman is getting
pushed back to December 2018.
Christine Adams (Agent Weaver on
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is going to play
Jefferson’s ex-wife on Black Lightning.
Does anyone other than Warner
Bros. want to see a Matrix reboot?
