Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Now that's news to end a weekend on. Excellent. I like how cryptic he was about the when and where, which leaves open the possibility that may be very soon indeed if some rumors prove to be true. But I'd honestly not been holding my breath even though I desperately wanted this to be the case and now I can rest easy.

Now save Donofrio as Wilson Fisk and all is once again right again in the MCU as far as I'm concerned. (And yes, I know that's also a particularly viable possibility in light of Hawkeye on D+. Still won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes or we get comments like this to that effect.)

 

Well, that's good news for me from the MCU. Hopefully no Kingpin, Bullseye or Electra though.

 

Fantastic news indeed. Of course, this doesn't mean he's about to appear anytime soon but now it's actually within the realm of possibility.

 

Actually, although I've been heavily agnostic on the subject of his return, I think this quote makes it far more probable than just possible that he will appear very soon (like sometime in the next year - maybe two years at the most).

I don't see a professional like Feige making a statement like this that matter of factly, with zero wiggle room, unless there's already a contract in place.

 

Gives me something to look forward to.

 

True. You don't announce that someone will be playing a role unless you know they will be.

I'm guessing we'll get Kingpin in the mid/post-credits scene in the last episode of Hawkeye, then both of them in Echo.

 

Unsurprisingly, Shang-Chi is to get a sequel, while returning writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton is also developing a Marvel project for Disney Plus: https://variety.com/2021/film/news/...1VOgBbj1NsYGfnkMhXWS4BnQSc4n_ixSJweaOHA8HztYA

 

I was going to say that'd be the Ten Rings series teased at the end of the movie but the article says it's a comedy. So... "The Adventures of Trevor & Morris"?

 

I thought you were referring to the elder Zemo.

 

If he really wanted to get fan appreciation he could have announced that if Danny Rand or the Ironfist ever appears again in the MCU he will never be played by Finn Jones

 

I saw something about Marvel trying to get Jennifer Henwick back but she turned them down for The Matrix. I never bothered to watch season 2 of Iron Fist but I heard she became it at the end. I'd be all for her returning and Finn Jones being forgotten.

 

From what I've heard, they wanted Jessica Henwick to play Xialing in Shang-Chi.

 

So she could overshadow another of Marvel's Masters of Martial Arts and make everyone wish the movie was about her?

I like Simu but he doesn't have a 10th of her charisma or appeal.

 

Did anyone watch this week's film theory? I just played it. The main theory was quite the stretch (one of his bigger ones, and that's saying something) but he did have one interesting bit that jumped out at me - that the voices of her sons that Wanda heard calling to her for help at the end of Wandavision? They seemed a lot like the way the Dweller in the Darkness pretended to be The Mandarins wife. It may have been him calling out to her.

 

Here's what Henwick told Entertainment Weekly:

So she is still interested in returning to Marvel. She just knows she'll probably get more opportunities later on, which was not the case with The Matrix.

 

When you also consider Mutants at some point joining the MCU that's obviously a ton more characters popping up at some point too.

 

I'd rather see Henwick return as the character she already played, Colleen Wing. How about... Shang-Chi and the Daughters of the Dragon?

 

I’d watch it
