Marvel’s next original series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is finally here! ©Disney - Close Your Eyes and Blink Yourself to WDWĥ Marvel Movies You MUST Watch Before ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’.So we are inching ever closer to reuniting with Wolverine and Storm and Magneto. We do know based on the trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings that our newest Marvel superhero, Shang-Chi, will wind up in Magipoor at some point in that movie. Now the appearance of Magipoor feels like a tease. So we may already have technically met mutants in the MCU. That could mean she (and Pietro) had their powers from birth, thanks to the X-gene. That show also suggested that Wanda had her powers from birth, and they were only amplified by an Infinity Stone. Fans speculated that he might be the key to a parallel universes plot that would usher the X-Men into the MCU, but he turned out to just be some schlub named “Ralph Boner,” a masterful or annoying troll, depending on your perspective. First came Fake Pietro: In WandaVision, Wanda’s murdered brother Pietro (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Avengers: Age of Ultron) shows up on her doorstep, but he’s played by Evan Peters, who portrayed Pietro in Fox’s X-Men movies. In the meantime, Marvel Studios is having a little fun with its audience. Disney bought Fox and thus acquired the rights to use the mutants (not to mention the Fantastic Four) in future MCU films. But the X-Men are definitely on their way to the MCU. That didn’t happen-Disney has not yet even announced who they’ll hire to replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in future films. Many fans are also hoping for a throwback show that chronicles the adventures of the first Black Captain America, Isaiah Bradley. In the comics, Elijah Bradley become the superhero Patriot, modeling his costume after those of Captain America and Bucky, and a founding member of the Young Avengers team. Teen hero America Chavez will be a character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Kate Bishop, Hawkeye’s protege, is set to star in Hawkeye. Ironheart, are each getting their own TV show on Disney+. We’ve already met Ant-Man’s daughter Cassie Lang who aspires to be a superhero herself. And while Wanda’s children were revealed to be mere creations of her subconscious in WandaVision, the finale of that show hinted that Wanda was figuring out a way to bring Billy, Tommy and Vision to life once again. In the comics, Wanda and Vision’s children, Billy and Tommy, become part of that Young Avengers team. Marvel has been long hinting at a future Young Avengers team. It’s possible that a villainous Thunderbolts super-group could be in the works. In the comics, the Raft has acted as both a prison and the home base for a super-villains group that Zemo creates called the Thunderbolts. Loki, who killed what was probably thousands of innocent people when he attacked New York City in Avengers, is now getting his own TV show.Īt the end of episode 5, the Dora Milaje capture Zemo and tell Bucky they are taking him to The Raft, a prison in the middle of the sea where Bucky, Sam and Cap’s other allies were once held during Captain America: Civil War. This is not the first time that Marvel would have transformed one of its most popular and eccentric villains into an anti-hero. Zemo has a sympathetic backstory-the Avengers accidentally murdered his family-and plenty of charm. Even Thanos has a point about the environment, though he could have used the Infinity Stones to double the resources in the universe rather than cutting the number of living beings in half. In Black Panther, Killmonger is right about Wakanda’s imperative to help those impacted by a long history of colonialism and racism-it’s his violent means to that end that are the problem. But Marvel has a way of swaying our sympathies toward villains who speak truth to power. And it’s not totally clear how Marvel might help Zemo win the audience over again. Yes, Zemo murdered Black Panther’s father, T’Chaka. They will likely supplant the now mostly-defunct HYDRA as the villainous presence in the future Captain America stories. Given Val’s connections, it seems that, like HYDRA, Leviathan has infiltrated the U.S. We can even speculate that perhaps Natasha used to work for Leviathan or for Val. Val’s Russian origins would explain how she might play into the Black Widow plot since Natasha Romanoff was also trained as a covert Russian agent before defecting to the U.S. Leviathan was a rival of HYDRA and briefly showed up onscreen in the short-lived MCU TV series Agent Carter. But it’s eventually revealed that she is a double agent and in fact works for the Russian spy ring Leviathan. But we do meet her in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as a mysterious figure eager to fund the further adventures of the erratic John Walker after he’s stripped of his Captain America title.
