Nick Fury in SECRET INVASION (2023) | 1.01 - Resurrection

[imdonnalynn]

After her last appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness it was left unclear what exactly the future holds for Wanda Maximoff "The Scarlet Witch"

At the end of Multiverse of Madness, we see Wanda seemingly sacrifice herself, after realizing what she had become in her pursuit to be with her children once again. She destroyed the Darkhold in every single universe throughout the Multiverse and brought Wandagor down around her.

Seemingly killing herself...or did she?

Where could Wanda show up next?

Could she make an appearance in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine?

Or would it be more likely she would show up in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries? Especially with the speculation and rumor that her son Billy is reincarnated in a boy in the same town she enslaved during her Hex.

Other than those projects the only other works she could possibly show up in are the next Avengers films, or a much deserved solo film.

What else does Wanda have to contribute to the rest of the Multiverse Saga and beyond if that's part of her journey?

ok thoughts on the future of Namor in the MCU.

For the most part comic Namor and movie Namor couldn’t be more different. Yes they both run underwater cities and are strong in an almost godlike way but really? Their similarity ends there. Comic!Namor is literally one of the biggest dickheads in Marvel canon and quite literally harasses a married woman with his affection for years. If Ryan has control and input over his character (which i’m really hopeful for since james gunn had input for guardians in infinity war) I know they won’t go down this route with Sue.

There’s no shot. Namor is a proud indigenous man who wants to preserve his culture. There is no universe where he marries a white Sue Storm, or throws himself at the feet of a married woman who rejects him. There is a chance they make Sue nonwhite in the MCU and if they do I still hope they don’t have him chasing after her. The dynamic with Shuri has already been set up and is a more elevated version of Namor and Sue’s story in the comics. We might never see them canonically “be together”(even tho I think they could become big bads together) but it makes infinitely more sense for MCU!Namor to become infatuated with Shuri. Their stories parallel one another almost perfectly and in his mind they’re equals.

I see Namor maybe pursuing Shuri but her rejecting him(for obvious reasons!). He will stay out of most conflicts but perhaps join Kang in exchange for his help attacking the surface world—something he still clearly wants—but eventually realizing what Kang is ACTUALLY trying to do so he’ll have to go crawling back to Shuri and be like “so, I fucked up but how bout that alliance friend!” They’ll fight together but while it’s happening Talokan is attacked or Wakanda is attacked and Namor is like “see what did i tell you about the surface dwellers?” because make no mistake Wakanda is going to have to fight off an invasion. Namor knows that.

Then Shuri is like “well shit he was right” and they fight together protecting their land. It’s still the MCU so they’ll probably have Namor do something irredeemable because they have this need to always have their villains do something unforgivable so we remember they’re villains. I don’t know where they go from there tho, Namor either has to become a hero or die. This happens to all the villains, (see Thanos vs Loki)

Gender Buddy: Cosmonautic (60/120)

Level: 6 Element: Stellar/Void FRND: ??? PWR: 300

Abilities: Starsong: A song so strong, it can even echo through space! Stop Time: Freezes time in specific areas, which gives the Buddy plenty of time to do whatever it wants!

Bio: This enormous Buddy loves to float gracefully through space, leaving a bright trail of stardust in its wake. With each push of its tail, it's said that new galaxies are born. If you're quiet, you may also hear one of its eerie songs, especially in the dead of night. The strange dome on its back houses an alien environment with trees that grow star-shaped fruits. Sometimes, meteor showers will appear wherever this Buddy goes.

MCU Phase 5 & 6 Predictions and Theories

Clearly I’ve had too much time on my hands lately, but please feel free to reply with your thoughts and own predictions! Links to sources have been provided in cases where tweets, articles, or interviews are referenced!

**Quick disclaimer that these are merely my own theories and predictions, not necessarily what I want or hope to happen, but are based on patterns and predicted storylines.**

Regé-Jean Page as Reed Richards/Mr.Fantastic.

I am pretty sure that Secret Invasion tweet error was a copy/paste issue from a cast list provided to social media reps of cast members so he has likely been cast in something. However, I doubt it is Secret Invasion and it would not be a minor role, and he would be a perfect choice for the smartest man alive.

Cillian Murphy will not play Doctor Doom, but he will be cast in a non-F4 project.

Although he has been fancast by many as Doctor Doom and would do a great job playing the villain, I really doubt we see him take up that mantle. However, I do believe we may see him take on another anti-hero or grey character as that he would do just as great a job as. 

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau cast as Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom.

This rumour has been circulating a while and seems the most likely scenario in my opinion, more so than other popular choices among fans such as Murphy and Cavill. Marvel has successfully cashed in on the Game of Thrones appeal of many actors in the past and they are sure to again. 

**Although Coster-Waldau is a phenomenal actor and would play a MCU villain very well, it must be noted that Victor von Doom is a Romani character and should in fact be played by a Romani actor. Yet as Marvel has unfortunately not been competent in their appropriately cast Romani or Jewish characters of actors of a shared heritage, I find it difficult to believe that this behaviour will be amended in time for this casting (which may have already taken place).**

Laura Dern in New Asgard.

We saw Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill in Thor: Ragnarok, giving us 2/3 of the original Jurassic Park trio, and both were set to be in Thor: Love and Thunder (but only Neill did as Goldblum’s scene was cut), I NEED DR. GRANT AND DR. SATTLER TOGETHER IN THE MCU. Possibly as actress Frigga in an Asgardian play? Maybe the Grandmaster could be in the audience?? I don’t care how this would happen as I don’t see Thor 5 happening, but it is very important to me personally that it does. (This is the only personal indulgence prediction I promise). 

Sylvie will die in Loki Season 2, Loki returns to New Asgard. 

Both of them won’t make it out of the next season, yet I see Loki being a more likely option to survive in this case as he would return to New Asgard as a whistleblower about how dangerous Kang has become. However, none of the Avengers would believe him until Scott Lang confirms following the events of Quantumania.

Valkyrie adopting a much larger role in the MCU, dates Carol Danvers.

As we are nearing the end of our time with Thor and Loki, Valkyrie will likely be our link to Asgard. It’s also about time they give our King a girlfriend, and it being Carol Danvers would make them the ultimate power couple. 

Nova announcement for Phase 6. 

It’s overdue that Nova be introduced into the MCU, and with the Guardians making their exit in May it is the perfect timing to introduce a new connection to the galactic aspect of the MCU. It would also possibly be something hinted towards or appear in a post-credit scene in GotG vol. 3, and be connected to Adam Warlock’s future in the MCU. 

Midnight Sons announcement for Phase 6 or 7. 

This one feels pretty obvious given the introduction of Moon Knight & Mr. Knight, Blade, Werewolf by Knight, Man-Thing (Ted!!!) and Elsa Bloodstone, we’re seeing much more characters falling into the darker and monster-related side of the MCU who are all tied to the Midnight Sons. In addition to the fact that other affiliates are likely being introduced soon, including Wolverine and Ghost Rider, and others including Doctor Strange, Wong, and Mordo already present, it is certainly in Marvel’s plans for the future.

Antony Starr cast as Dracula in Blade.

Another highly rumoured casting, this time based upon Starr tweeting about being busy with little explanation and other alleged leaks. He is amazing as Homelander in The Boys, so him undertaking a villain such as Dracula would be great.

“Ralph Bohner” revealed as Peter Maximoff, explains Deadpool and the X-Men’s introduction to the MCU. 

Given the possibility that Ralph Bohner is the member of WITSEC that Jimmy Woo was going to Westview to visit, a theory I explain more in depth here as WITSEC is not typically FBI jurisdiction, it would make sense that he will be connected to Deadpool and the X-Men entering the MCU, albeit with a different cast. Peter and Wade would be from the same universe, with the new X-Men being from another, thus explaining the discrepancy of having seen the first reboot of the franchise in Deadpool 2.

Daniel Brühl’s “surprise” return as Helmut Zemo in the Thunderbolts.

We were all expecting that Zemo was going to be in the Thunderbolts given that he plays a significant role in the comics, and Brül addresses this by reminding fan’s that Zemo is “not dead” and “even if he could [explain], he couldn’t” tell fans if he will return. Yeah, he’s definitely coming back. Marvel’s probably just waiting until the trailer drops or even hiding it until the film’s release to generate hype closer to it’s release. 

Okoye returns in Thunderbolts and Wakanda plays a large role in the plot.

Given Bucky’s history with Hydra, it’s difficult to see Bucky joining Valentina given her ties with the organization, leaving two scenarios plausible: he is not aware of them, or is a double agent. If the possible rumours that it involves a heist in Wakanda, especially considering how Valentina likely has a vendetta against them for aiding Ross in escaping, it is surely the latter as I cannot see Bucky so blatantly defying Wakanda after all they did for him unless there is a more pressing threat at hand (ie. in TFATWS/CAATWS). And, if this is true, a large threat such as the Hydra under the guise of the U.S. Government classifies it as that. 

Andrew Garfield appearance in Venom 3.

This is pretty popular, but considering his line in Spider-Man: No Way Home that he “want[s] to fight an alien,” it feels foreshadowing. That, plus the fan reception of his return and performance as Peter Parker, makes it natural that Sony would want to continue featuring him in their non-MCU universe, and have him face off with Venom or join forces against a common foe.

Milly Alcock cast as Gwen Stacy.

Another GOT/HOTD related casting prediction, Milly Alcock as Gwen Stacy is something I have seen discussed as a fan cast rapidly growing in popularity. And, as mentioned before, Marvel has historically favoured actors who featured in GOT, including Richard Madden, Kit Harrington, and Emilia Clarke in the MCU, with Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams in the XCU. Not only has she proved herself a great actress and bears a striking resemblance to the comic and Into the Spiderverse depictions of the character, but Gwen Stacy needs to be played as independent, strong and proactive in her behaviour. In her portrayal of Rhaenyra Targaryen, she has proved herself capable of portraying these traits as a strong female lead tenfold. 

Donald Glover Returns as Aaron Davis/Prowler along with Miles Morales.

Again, another pretty obvious development, but I do not think Glover’s role of producing and starring as the titular character of Hypno-Hustler, a Sony film about another Spiderverse villain, will impact his role as Prowler unless we explicitly hear him confirm that he will be handing the reins of the role over to another actor. And, of course, it is incredibly likely we see Miles Morales introduced within the next few Spider-Man films. 

Scott Lang is the one Avenger who remembers Peter Parker.

We know that there has been some exploration of the possibility that one Avenger remembers Peter Parker, and the one possible option is Scott Lang. It is through the Quantum realm that we know time travel is possible, and it may have been something being experimented with by Scott, Hope, Hank, Janet, and possibly Cassie, at the time of the spell being cast. We also don’t know what other kind of characteristics the Quantum realm may possess with regard to impacting how the spell may effect someone in it and/or absent at the time it was cast. However, this is just one of many possibilities. 

Hank Pym dies in Ant-Man: Quantumania.

Pretty self explanatory, but I think as this is most likely the final Ant-Man movie, especially with Paul Rudd, that one of their main characters will die and, since they just got Janet back, Hank seems like the most emotional loss for the other characters. 

Druig will adopt a more villainous role by the end of Phase 6.

I love Druig and Makkari so much, but in the comics, Druig is a villain that the Eternals fight against as well as being related to them. I don’t see them killing off Makkari and would be devastated if they do, but I think she may be injured or have something happen that would send Druig on a spiral. We would probably not see this until after Eternals 2 or the next Avengers films, but I fully expect Druig to have a character arc quite similar to Wanda’s.

Richard Madden returns as Ikaris in Eternals 2.

Arishem has the power to recreate any of the Eternals he wishes and, given that Ikaris was his most loyal follower and would be difficult both emotionally and physically for many of the Eternals to fight again, it would be in his best interest to bring him back.

Upcoming Avengers movie(s) death predictions:

Stephen Strange, Thor Odinson, Bucky Barnes, Scott Lang, Bruce Banner, Nick Fury.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 death predictions:

Rocket, Nebula, Drax, and Peter Quill.

Henry Cavill cast as any character.

He needs to be petty and go to DC’s competition lmao.

[naughtygirl286]

While on our way to see Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 This week we did do some pick-ups starting with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania on 4K and there was only a few left! I do have to say I am a lil disappointed that was was no Slip case for it but anyway we then also picked up Max Fleischer's Superman on regular Blu-ray! I enjoyed Quantumania I thought it was pretty good and I was waiting for the Superman thing I have it on DVD but was thinking of replace that with this

Gender Buddy: Orientationgender (59/120)

Level: 4 Element: Cosmic FRND: 59 PWR: 271

Abilities: Flutter: A graceful flap of the wings and this Buddy is floating effortlessly through the skies. Galaxy Glow: Lights up the night sky with a colorful glow.

Bio: This elusive Buddy never lands and instead, flies in continuous circles high up in the sky at night. Its colorful, shimmering feathers are mesmerizing to look at and can evoke a feeling of tranquility in anyone who stares at them. It always wants to fly close to the stars so if you ever want to see it clearly, you might need to bring a pair of binoculars! Rumor has it that it turns into sunlight during the day and then reforms into a bird shape at night.
