Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Wandavision writer Jac Schaeffer has signed a 3 year deal to write for Disney and Marvel https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/wandavision-head-writer-marvel-overall-deal-1234959519/

 

Good news.

 

She did a great job on WandaVision, hopefully she continues to bring that talent to whatever she does next.

 

Fantastic news. I loved her writing and I'm glad we'll be seeing more of her in the MCU.

 

IIRC the set-up in Neil Gaiman run had them in modern day, but having lost all memory of who and what they were due to some trickter shenanigans from Sprite. I'm guessing a version of that is going to be at least part of the set-up. Maybe the snap/blip resets their memories? Maybe something else? Either way it seems like a neat way around the "why they sat out Thanos" question.

 

I could see that, and if they go that route, they have the scenes in the past spread out through the movie as flashbacks as they start to remember, rather than going in purely chronological order.
One of the big questions for me with this, is whether or not we're going to see Dane Whitman as Black Knight. So far all of the official cast lists have just had him down as Dane Whitman, and usually they list the superhero characters as both their superhero and civilian identity.

 

"The Gods among us" is a reoccurring Kirby theme. Starting with Thor and continuing through the Inhumans, the New Gods and the Eternals plus more I've probably forgotten.

 

Danai Gurira to reprise Okoye for a Wakanda based Disney Plus show.

So Okoye gets to be the focus for the Wakanda series? That's going to be fun!

 

I don't know about their track record, but the Illuminerdi reports that Carmen Ejogo (True Detective, Fantastic Beasts, Selma) is in advance talks to join Secret Invasion.

Its cast keeps getting better and better!

 

Cool.
Not sure about Illuminerdi, I see the name a lot but I can't remember how many of their stories have actually panned out.

 

New Loki featurette:



Plus, Paul Bettany on the future of White Vision:

“I still don’t know that,” Bettany told the Playlist when asked if there were going to be more opportunities for the character. “I don’t have a contract. I don’t know that. I don’t know that at all. And all that I do know is, as far as this sort of traunch of press goes, it’s for an Emmy push, which is for a limited series. So it doesn’t look like that happening again. I mean, I guess it would be difficult to introduce White Vision and not deal with him in some way, but we have not discussed that.”
​

Standing by for a "surprise" appearance in The Multiverse of Madness.

 

Yeah, I think that there is literally no chance, outside of paul Bettany suddenly dying or refusing to come back for some reason, that we won't see the new version of Vision in some way again. Its just too big of a character/hanging thread to not bring back. I don't know if it will be in MoM, although it would make sense.

Couple of leaked photos from the She-Hulk set. Amazingly despite his presence not leaked by Ruffalo.





My Marvel-Fu is letting me down here, so I've no idea who she's supposed to be playing.

 

I wonder if the mo-cap stuff means he's still going to be Banner Hulk from Endgame?

 

I figure he'll appear eventually. Rather my point was I think Bettany is being coy about not knowing when and that he'll pop earlier than expected.

I don't even know who that actress is. Of the three actresses we know who will be in the show, she's not any of them.

Well, I would hope so! They seem to be at peace in that state so why change it?

 

Anais Almonte. She's an actress but also a stunt performer, so could be there in either function.

Thinking a bit more about potential She-Hulk adjacent characters she could be Titania. (If she is let's hope for the sake of Agents Of SHIELD's canonicity her boyfriend doesn't also show up.)

 

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
