    There's about 7 million ways to have him back.

    He's been aged and deaged at least twice in the comics :D could just have Wanda deage him as part of her (probably) reality warping thing we're about to see.

    Or a multiverse thing.

    If he's been hanging out in the past with Peggy you could have a flash back to him doing a mission in the 70s or whatever.

    Personally, I'd like to see him mentoring the inevitable young avengers/ champions we are absolutely going to see coming.

    Marvel are doing great stuff to get online speculation going with WandaVision.

    So far there's been references to Wonder Man, Bova, Grim Reaper, Mephisto, AIM, Stark industries, SWORD, and the Whizzer :D

    Obviously not all of these are going to show up, I don't even think more than 2 will right now. But obviously they're going for that online buzz as the series progresses.

    Anyone watch it? I liked how they completely committed to the gimmick, and it wasn't bad, but I'm not sure my interest will be sustained through a few more episodes of sitcom milarky unless the weirdness ramps up from here on out.

    As you say it's a gimmick, and they laid on thick with the winks and nodding.

    I feel the second episode was better, while the first one was tedious. Hopefully the series will continue on our upward curve.

    Olsen and Bettany are great but Kathryn Hahn will hopefully be part of the bigger picture beyond Wandavision. She's been the standout in the first two episodes.

    Agree with all of this. Think the second one was actually legitimately kind of funny and there was a dark tinge to all the suburbanite politicing, which I am sure is going to become something more later. Also we got a bit more of a hint that crazy stuff is going on in the last 5 minutes or so. I think being old enough to have watched repeats of I Dream of Genie and Bewitched probably ups my tolerance level for all the American sitcom stuff, but I want more story from here out.

    I wonder if Hahn is the obvious character from Wanda's past? If so there's a good chance she'll pop up quite a bit, seeing as for the next few movies it looks like the universe it revolving around her.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    I've seen a few theories in regards Agnes, it's interesting.

    The mystery really is killing me I suppose that's why I found the first episode a struggle.

    Matt Damon has arrived in Australia for Thor filming.


    If he is flying Down Under it must be for more than a cameo this time.

    Who would have thought Shang Shi would have a trailer before Eternals given the latter was one of the first confirmed to be in production post Endgame.

    What if? is animated and Steve Rodgers is already confirmed to be in it, Chris Evans recorded the voice acting for the episode during the avengers movies.

    If he is returning its for something else.

    Strong rumours that black widow is going to be a Disney plus release now. Which would make sense hopefully

    I wonder how they're going to address T'Chala.

    I know they're not recasting, but they seem to still be all in on the Panther part of the MCU, so they're going to have to somehow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Multiverse gives them a handy out but it's a fine balance to act as they need to recognise T'challa somehow before moving on.

    Joker in TDKR didn't require too much explanation on his absence given he was incarcerated, but I think Nolan handled it well as Joker's shadow clearly loomed over Bruce, Gordon, and Gotham.

    Coogler and Feige could do the same; T'challa's absence is felt and in part drives the plot, but ultimately only to tell a new story.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I still think they should just kill the character off. Not like the MCU doesn't lean heavily on CGI for its in-suit characters, so the opening set piece could be a Black Panther mission that goes wrong, the hero dying without needing to show Boseman. Boom, instant stakes and plot, with the enemy's power established in the first act.

    I reckon the movie will open with his funeral. I don't think they will kill him on screen, even if it is double or CGI.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    There could be another "incident" in the MCU that wipes out a number of heroes. I mean Wanda is a prime suspect.

    Whatever she ends up doing could kill T'challa off screen.

    That would be a good route to go, gives the new bad some serious credibility.

    That’s the perfect way of handling it IMO.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I think I'd like some form of funeral, but do not want to see the character dying in a fight or something. Imagine being his family and seeing that.

    Was actually just reading the recent Jason Aaron Avengers run where Black Panther absolutely wrecks an actual god, Khonshu (who will no doubt be showing up in Moon Knight). Made me a little sad we'll not be getting moments like that for him.

    It is a smart move. At that point everyone who wants a vaccine in the US should have a vaccine but there is no telling how skeptical people will be about going into a packed cinema. They are currently back in all or nearly all states but most with a limited capacity.

    This is true but increasingly, films are relying on international markets to make their money, so there's a bit of a gamble there.

    Not that Marvel seem to need any more luck - "Hey lets make a series about grief, retreating into TV for relief, and being trapped in a small area- oh look a pandemic" :D

    Initial reaction, meh.

    We know Marvel need to branch out to new heroes to keep everything fresh, but everything about that was MEH.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I remember when Guardians of the Galaxy was announced, there was a lot of scepticism if audiences could handle the sheer cosmic silliness of it all; whether Marvel might be overplaying their hand a tad - and yet, it ended up being (arguably) one of the franchise's better and more loved series.

    This feels like the opposite problem: taking what ostensibly appears like a really generic property, and hoping/believing a slap of MCU paint will do the rest. If nothing else, you'd hope the fight choreography will be decent.

    I actually enjoyed the trailer. Its never going to be iron man or thor like but it looks fun and action packed. There appears to be a huge battle scene aswell. As mentioned marvel need to create new heroes. I do seriously dislike that akinfawa or whatever her name is tho

    I have never been a fan of kung fu movies so very little excitement about this one. I do have interest in what they do with the 10 rings though

    Will keep my mind open though. Felt similar about magic and Dr Strange but it ended up with a decent enough movie and then became an important and more interesting character as time progressed.

    It's funny, both GotG bore me to bits and I'm a massive, massive fan of it all!

    Dr Strange is a big character in the comics and has a lot of good powers and storylines.

    Shang-Chi in the comics felt like a lazy cash in by Marvel to reach a new demographic.

    Looks like a case of another generic villain with no overarching story. I’ll still watch it like but I have a feeling it’ll be completely skippable on rewatches. This could be the MCU’s iron fist.

    Shang Chi 100% was a lazy cash in at the start but he's found a niche in modern comics popping up as a mentor when a character needs to level up in unarmed combat for whatever reason (especially funny when it happens in Gail Simone's Domino). I could see that becoming this characters place in the MCU too. I believe he's currently mentoring that new demon sword kid who's name I keep forgetting :D

    Also technically.. Iron Fist is still the MCUs Iron Fist. It's mad how people are mentally decanonising the Netflix stuff already. That'll save Marvel some work when they want to do it.

    Killian Scott (Dublin Murders, Damnation) is in negotiations to join Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn in Secret Invasion, the upcoming Marvel series for Disney+, Deadline has learned.

    In Secret Invasion, Jackson and Mendelsohn reprise their MCU characters Nick Fury and the Skrull Talos, respectively, who first met in Captain Marvel. The crossover comic event series showcases a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.

    The cast also is expected to include Kingsley Ben-Adir as a likely villain, Olivia Colman and Emilia Clarke. Further plot details are being kept under wraps and it’s not clear what role Scott would play. A rep for Marvel declined comment
