MCU rumors

[The Bat]

^The Rock is older than him and is launching his DC movie career.

Yeah, that's cool and all...but my expectations for DC movies isn't very high. Other than Batman & Superman...I don't really care what they do anymore. Aquaman was absolutely horrendous.

Nothing at all against John Cena...but I think he's a bit to old to launch a MCU career.

If Cena really did get that I am sure they'd give him some movie parts too beyond the TV show so the TBolts thing seems plausible. Or maybe he'll be forced on the avengers ala WCAvengers.

^That would make for a great story, and perfect casting. Cena's Walker is appointed as Cap by the government, and Falcon has to basically get the role back from him and redeem it.

There's a rumor going around that John Cena will be playing US Agent.

Just saw that yesterday, He's supposedly showing up in the Falcon/Winter Soldier series and then maybe in Thunderbolts..

[thunderbolt]

has it occurred to ANYONE, why they were ABLE to use the WATCHERS in GOTG # 2; which would make them FOX property?

Probably either they don't fall under the FF umbrella or Marvel/Disney made a deal with Fox like they did for Quicksilver.

I thought the injunction went longer, but if it's only 2020, then they could throw some of those characters onto Disney+ or use the Defenders title.

I would think Iron Fist is destined for the Shang-Chi series. Heroes For Hire seems an easy move, also.

that's less than a year. Guessing all will be revealed at SDCC. The Defenders picking up the Avengers slack makes sense and the name seems a logical jump from Avengers with the general public too.

CBR is thinking Kang might be the next bad guy with all of the time travel hijinx in Endgame.

Sources tell Variety that the deal for the original four Marvel shows includes a clause that prevents the characters from appearing in any non-Netflix series or film for at least two years after cancellation. That means that “Daredevil,” “Luke Cage,” and “Iron Fist” — which were all canceled this year at Netflix — could not come to the Disney streaming service until 2020 at the earliest.

The chances of the shows returning either on their own or as a new installment of “The Defenders” is definitely a long shot, given the time frame. And even if they did go to Disney+ as soon as possible, they would be doing so without “Jessica Jones,” which is set to air its third season on Netflix sometime in 2019. If that show is canceled, which now seems likely but is by no means a guarantee, it could not go elsewhere until 2021.

^I'm with you on that. The issues for MCU is Defenders can't be used as a title due to the Netflix deal, (same reason those actors can't carry over) and while Surfer would be available, do you jump to him and bypass Galactus? They could, which would probably make him more interesting as it wouldn't be the same intro story for the dozenth time.

Looking at team history, MCU already has Valkyrie on Earth and doing nothing. Her and Pym are two free and clear. Hawkeye and Hellstrom would be contingent due to streaming shows.

I figured the cancellation of all the shows indicated that Disney was on the verge of recalling al of those characters. Surfer could be introduced as the fallen herald bringing the Galactus storyline in the background for now. He could show up with Terrax or Fire-Lord later on as a major threat to the new Avengers/Defenders/FF

[Klosterheim]

I think Robert Conrad should have played Wolverine, during some part of his career.

[hedrap]

Surfer comes with the Fox merger right? He's an FF character. Plenty of other defenders usable too. Nighthawk, Hellcat, Moondragon, Hawkeye. The Defenders would be a logical next step to replace the Avengers and share a member or two already, assembled by Strange.
