Who stated the MCU‘s 2024 was going to be a barren wasteland? Positive, we’d solely have the one Marvel Studios film coming over the subsequent 12 months, however Disney Plus is already serving up its first TV present of the 12 months — mere days after the arrival of What If…? And it’d simply be vastly extra informative to the way forward for the Marvel multiverse than we realized.
As Chancellor Palpatine may say; a shock, to make sure, however a welcome one. Talking of, have you ever ever questioned why Disney has by no means ordered a Marvel/Star Wars crossover, regardless of the cosmos of money it could carry dwelling? Effectively, brace yourselves as a result of this one goes to sting. However first…
Marvel makes a shock announcement about its new huge dangerous, however not the one you had been anticipating
We’re all ready to search out out who will take over from Jonathan Majors because the chief mustache-twirler of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, in order that’s why it’s so shocking that Marvel has confirmed that one other huge dangerous is rising up in Kang’s wake. Beginning along with his return in Echo, we now have been informed to count on Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin to change into “the Thanos of the street-level nook of the MCU.” He’ll clearly function closely in Daredevil: Born Once more, however it seems like he’ll go on to make a giant impression after that too. Sure, it appears we’re actually getting into the period the place the MCU is getting so unruly it’s having to separate into two. Though if Kingpin did wish to battle all of the Avengers in Secret Wars too, followers seemingly wouldn’t complain.
Echo can’t cease, received’t cease confirming Daredevil is canon — and breaking MCU canon within the course of
Talking of Echo and Kingpin, Vincent D’Onofrio is the newest Marvel worker to verify that Daredevil is now thought of a part of the Sacred Timeline, which flies within the face of every thing we’ve heard in regards to the MCU canon for years now. On the one hand, it’s nice to listen to that the upcoming Daredevil-verse will respect every thing that got here earlier than it within the Defenders Saga, however right here’s the factor — attributable to all of them being so interconnected, confirming Daredevil as canon signifies that each different Marvel Tv manufacturing needs to be canon too, which simply creates an entire heap of splintered timelines that even the TVA couldn’t repair.
A Darth Vader-level betrayal is the rationale why we’ve by no means had a Marvel/Star Wars crossover
You understand how torn up Luke Skywalker is when he finds out Darth Vader is his father? Effectively, that’s how we’re feeling now after studying the one one who’s been standing in the way in which of a Marvel/Star Wars crossover. Put together yourselves, people — it’s really Kevin Feige. The Marvel Studios president is confirmed to have vetoed a possible Star Wars team-up episode in What If…?, with the cap-wearing chief stated to have little interest in “crossing the streams.” We put our religion in you, Feige! However, hey, it’s not too late. Having Vader present up because the MCU’s new huge dangerous for Avengers: The Darth Vader Dynasty could be the one solution to wipe away all lingering reminiscences of the Kang calamity. Search your emotions, Kevin, you realize it to be true.
