Weekly MCU Review for Holy Saturday

Another week, and more MCU news!  So we got the first trailers for both Thor: Ragnarok and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  And that’s about as much as our little brains could handle!  Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up on your Marvel news!

My articles from the week

First off, here is my review of Colleen Wing’s character from Iron Fist.  Summary:  she’s good.

Next, here were my expectations for this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.… which I still haven’t gotten a chance to see.  Hopefully Monday.  And hopefully on Monday we will get the local channel situation resolved.

Here is the first teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnarok.  I’m pretty excited about it, even if it’s my least-anticipated MCU movie of the year (after Spider-Man: Homecoming and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2—but come on, can you really put these 3 in any other order?).

The Punisher season 1 has wrapped filming.  What do you think:  October or December?

So according to Karey Burke, an executive at Freeform, New Warriors is “conceptually tailor-made for spinoffs.”  What else was Burke going to say?  I am very interested to know who else is joining the team with Squirrel Girl, and whether/how they will explain her powers.

Anything not related to the MCU that I find interesting

Josh Brolin (Thanos) is taking on his second Marvel character, as he has been cast as Cable for Deadpool 2 and 3 other movies.

Here is the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi!

According to Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Fisher will not be incorporated into Episode IX.  I hope they will give her character a meaningful sendoff, whenever it happens.

Jude Law will play young Dumbledore in future Fantastic Beasts movies.
