Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread
- Thread starter bbjeg
- Start date
I'm not sure if either would make an appearance but there are still many movies that have not been announced so it's possible Dr. Doom will get teased at some point. However i have a hard time seeing Byonder in the MCU at this point - a godlike being would need a long setup, much like Thanos, and it seems Marvel has decided for Kang to be the main villain for this arc.
Secret Wars will most definitely be something very different than in the comics, at best they will take the basic framework and re-work it to fit into the MCU much like they did with Civil War. The Beyonder may be one element that gets cut because it would invite too many story problems to have such an omnipotent character suddenly appear.
For all we know, the average Marvel citizen knows all about vampires, but it just hasn't come up because it isn't relevant to the stories we've seen. We've never seen an MCU character get a parking ticket or a jury summons, or go to a box store to buy laundry detergent in bulk, but that doesn't mean the existence of such things is secret. It just means the stories aren't about them. Vampires could be common knowledge, but they just haven't come up.
I mean, where would they come up in conversation? "Mr. Parker, I'm confident Mysterio's allegations about you won't stick, but how about them vampires?" "Kate, I have to get home to my family by Christmas, just in case there's a random vampire attack!" Something doesn't have to be a secret to be irrelevant.
Yeah, who was that, anyway? And why was he the only non-human present? I don't find it odd for a magical community to have supernatural or inhuman creatures among its members, but it seemed strange that there was only the one guy.
Ah. Subterranean netherworld paradise and afterlife for those that died from drowning. Makes a kind of sense, though from memory it's not really associated with the oceans. More of an underground cave where rain water drains into. It's even ruled by a rain god.

@Christopher -- That was Rintrah, and he was originally supposed to have a bigger part in the movie.

Again, Blade only exists to the world because of his corrupted state of being, and his life's mission. Frost had experimented with vampires because they were exposed enough to be encountered. Vampires out in the open were routinely seen in Tomb of Dracula and the magazines Dracula Lives!, Vampire Tales and Marvel Preview.
What's this have to do with the MCU and their version of him?
In the comics, Bruce makes gamma bombs. In the movies he doesn't. Things change a lot.
Damn you Momoa! So presumably to avoid comparisons with Aquaman (who let's not forget was the rip-offe not the rip-offed) the Aztec-inspired look of Namor and his people extends to them not being from Atlantis but from Tlalocan, which in Aztec myth was the afterlife reserved for people who drowned or died from water in some other way.
And as (almost) always this was revealed via some toys.

As we were just saying. Things in the MCU are different.
I don't mind that. Maybe some of the more ignorant characters will flippantly call it Atlantis in the movies, but as their own more unique culture, I actually kind of dig the changes being made to Namor and the rest.

In a way I kinda like the change. In Wakanda we have a very high-tech and powerful nation on a continent and its peoples who were exploited and forever altered by Colonialism.
It would be kinda cool if "Tlalocan" was that for the "western hemisphere" in a region exploited and forever altered by Colonialism.
While Namor did the underwater kingdom thing first, Aquaman comics actually were first in making it Atlantis.
In fact, Namor’s creator never liked how later writers called it Atlantis and never did so in his own stories, as he saw it as a wholly separate concept from that bit of folklore/legend.
Beh, we kind of figured...
Exactly who everyone was expecting, given the comics. Just sayin.
Woah. Now we know why Shang-Chi 2 wasn't mentioned at SDCC!

Excellent choice. Wonder if he'll do 'Secret Wars' too?

I hope he will since it will probably be one long story and also they can film them at the same time or Back to back.
He has signed an overall deal with Marvel and will be directing Shang-Chi 2 when it arrives.
Thinking about it some more, with only six months between the two coming out they'll probably need separate directors.
3 years away. Film them both at the same time in the 2 years, a year for post. Doesn't need to be two different directors. Doesn't have to be the same either but it's not like they are pumping them out for 2023.
