MCU news/things that don't have their own thread

[CaptainWacky]

I can't believe a Sony Spider-Man spin-off would turn out that way.

Fantastic Four cast has been revealed too: https://deadline.com/2024/02/fantastic-four-cast-pedro-pascal-vanessa-kirby-marvel-movie-1235825543/

Pedro Pascal is very popular.

I know three of those actors from things, and have heard of the other one.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Ebon Moss-Bachrach is great in The Bear and was memorable in Andor. Wonder if they'll stick actual rocks on him or if it'll all be CGI.

Oh, just realised he was Micro in the first season of The Punisher too, huh.

 

[whisky]

All CGI by the sounds of it hell he making two TV shows at the same time.

So the silver surfer is a woman now, I swear they are trying to give the critical drinker a heart attack.

 

[CaptainWacky]

She's playing Shalla-Bal, not Norin Radd, they're different characters. It's pretty much confirmed this version of the Fantastic Four are from a different universe and will enter the MCU at the end of the movie (i.e. they could meet Norin Radd in this universe.) I've been watching Ozark lately and Julia Garner is a great actress who they're lucky to have in this movie.

give the critical drinker a heart attack.

Let's hope so!

I just LOLed when I saw this this morning.

He's a great actor obviously but how can they ever do this without all the characters stopping to ask "aren't you Tony Stark?" constantly? And if he's a Tony Stark variant or some shit and not the real doom. that's dumb.

They can do it the same way that no character ever asks Captain America, "Aren't you Johnny Storm?"

 

[CaptainWacky]

He didn't play Johnny Storm in the MCU.

 

[Loktar]

He didn't play Johnny Storm in the MCU.

So what? I still say it's the same thing.

 

[whisky]

I'm guessing in the other world were the F4 live and the 60s is super advanced, Howard Stark didn't become a millionaire and had a kid in Latvaria instead

 

[CaptainWacky]

Half of them are animated so let's ignore them (I'll probably watch them all anyway.) Daredevil is obviously the main event and looks good (what's Kamala's dad doing there, who knows.) Ironheart was filmed years ago and they're finally releasing it, the clips look fine (and you don't have to watch it if you don't want to!) Wonder Man will get the usual "WHO ASKED FOR THIS" posts but it's got Ben Kingsley in it and the Shang Chi director is in charge of the show so maybe it'll be good.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I've watched a few episodes of season two and it's good. If you liked season one you'd like this.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What If...? is sometimes entertaining but overall feels like a missed opportunity to do something different. But Hailee Steinfeld as Cowboy Kate Bishop is obviously something I'll watch.

 

[whisky]

I also saw season 2 of hit monkey, do we get a season 3?

 

[CaptainWacky]

There's no news. I was a bit surprised it got a season 2. But they should do more things like it that aren't part of the MCU and aren't as constrained.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I assume this is canon.
