What I want to see in the next Spider-Man film. Spoilers

 

What I want to see in the next Spider-Man Film.

After Brand New Day and with another Spider-Man film in the works here is what I want to see in Spider-Man 5.

6. The film could be a set up for a proper New Avengers film.

Now Marvel is going to focus heavily on the X-Men over the next couple of phases, but hey, that doesn't mean we can't get a new Avengers film. We should get a New Avengers film with Spider-Man joining the team, and he doesn't go after small potatoes. I get why so many fans hated Yelena's potatoes statement. 

5. I want to see Spider-Man team up with Daredevil or the Fantastic 4.

Now, if there is another team-up after Punisher, I would like to see Spider-Man team up with either Daredevil or the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man has a history with these characters, and I would love to see it play out on the big screen. However, they might cut back on that focus on just Spidey, which is cool, but I would love to see him team up with either Daredevil or the Fantastic 4. But who knows? They might have Spider-Man in the next Fantastic 4 film. He will likely team up with the Fantastic 4 soon. 

4. Maybe give Peter Parker a new love interest.

If you've seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day, you know MJ and Peter don't get back together, and let's face it, when Jean did that kiss scene, it was awful. I think maybe in the next film Peter should get a new love interest; Black Cat would be a great idea. Fans love Black Cat, and I love her too, so yeah, I would say make Black Cat his new love interest. Or, if not, we could get MCU Gwen Stacy, Carlie Cooper, Silk, or Mary Jane Watson.

If I were to cast Black Cat, I would cast Sydney Sweeney or Natalie Alyn Lind.

3. Interduce the Osborns.

Now, if you remember in No Way Home, Norman Osborn mentions that Oscorp doesn't exist, nor are there any Osborns in the MCU. However, with Secret Wars coming, it's likely they could add in the Osborns, and that in the new universe we have an Oscorp and Norman Osborn could be set up to be the Green Goblin, and we could get a proper, comic-accurate Green Goblin. As well, the same for Harry Osborn, and he could be Peter's new friend but later his enemy. This could also set up Norman Osborn to become the Iron Patriot and form the Dark Avengers. If I were to cast Norman Osborn, I would cast Michael Fassbender as Norman Osborn and Timothee Chalamet as Harry Osborn. 

2. Give us a classic Spider-Man villain; here are my top three choices as the next villain.

Hobgoblin. Hobgoblin is a villain long overdue for adaptation, and since we have Ned Leeds, maybe that could lead into it. Like, I can see Roderick Kingsley as the villain of the film, and he is the Hobgoblin, and maybe he frames Ned as the Hobgoblin. If I were to cast the Hobgoblin, I would cast Luke Evans, Josh Hartnett, Andrew Scott, or Macaulay Culkin.

Kingpin. Vincent wants Kingpin to fight Spider-Man, and that could be a great idea for a film. Where Spider-Man faces off against Kingpin, and you can have Daredevil and Hobgoblin in the film too. It could be a war-on-crime film. 

Venom. Venom has been teased, and it looks like we are likely getting Venom in the MCU, but it will properly happen when we get to Secret Wars because that was Venom's first appearance. For Eddie Brock, I would cast Ben Hardy as Venom.

1. The next storyline should either be the Venom Storyline or the Hobgoblin/Kingpin Storyline.

Now, these are two storylines that I could see getting adapted for Spider-Man 5. One idea is that after Secret Wars, Spider-Man now has the black suit, but he later shows his dark side and learns that it is an alien suit from the Fantastic Four, and MCU Eddie Brock becomes Venom. We do need a proper Spider-Man/Venom storyline after Spider-Man 3 did it terribly. 

Now, the other idea is having Spider-Man face off against the Hobgoblin and the Kingpin, and this storyline could also include Daredevil. The film could be Spider-Man fighting Hobgoblin and Kingpin, with both trying to kill each other. We could have Roderick Kingsley frame Ned as the Hobgoblin, which could also mean that Ned gets killed by Roderick, which would be very sad to see. Still, this would be a great Spider-Man story in which we finally get Hobgoblin adapted and seeing Spider-Man fight Kingpin and teaming up with Daredevil and Black Cat. Like Black Cat, for example, hates Hobgoblin because he framed her dad as the Cat Burglar. 

So that's what I want to see in the next Spider-Man film.

Let me know what you think.

What the MCU should recon and reboot after Secret Wars

 

What the MCU should recon/reboot/recast after Secret Wars.

So recently, Kevin Feige said that the MCU will not get a full reboot/reset after Secret Wars, but there might be some projects they might reboot or even a few characters recast. So here is what I would recon/reboot/recast after Secret Wars.

Here's what I would reboot in the MCU.

5. I would reboot The Eternals.

Now, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Eternals, and, to be honest, I would have made Alpha Flight over them. However, I have heard rumors that Marvel wants to bring back Eternals sometime. I think they should reboot the Eternals, like reintroduce them, but make it more faithful to the comics and have the characters be more comic-accurate. Give us something that Jack Kirby would be proud of. 

4. I would reboot Taskmaster give us the real Taskmaster. 

Now I would give fans a proper Taskmaster, Anthony Masters, and I would have him appear in a future film. Basically, give fans the proper Taskmaster from the comics, not the one we got in Black Widow, since they should have just gone with Red Widow instead. 

3. I would reboot She Hulk.

I would reintroduce She-Hulk, but unlike the old show, this She-Hulk is more likable and doesn't come off as annoying. She's basically the Saul of the Superhero community. We need a proper She-Hulk in the MCU, not the one we got from those writers who never read the comics.

2. I would reboot Black Widow and Hawkeye. 

Now, since Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson don't want to return, I would reboot these characters and recast them with new actors. I would even give Black Widow a new film that's better than the first film, and I would give Hawkeye a movie, maybe the West Coast Avengers. 

1. I would reboot Moon Knight and make him the Batman of the MCU.

I hated how Moon Knight was handled; he was more like Beta Knight, so that I would reboot the character. Look at Daredevil: Born Again, The Punisher special, and The Batman for an idea on how to do Moon Knight. I would make it more comic-accurate, and it does the character justice. Moon Knight would be on the sidelines, and his supporting cast would be back. I would use elements from the 2006 comics, Charlie Huston's run, and Warren Ellis's run for inspiration because my cousin loves Moon Knight, and he wants a proper Mister Knight. I would reboot Moon Knight. I'd be down to keep Oscar, but I would recast; to be honest, we need a proper Moon Knight adaptation.

Now here is what I would recon from the events of Phase 4 and Phase 5. 

5. I would recon Kang story arcs.

Since Kang was wasted, I would retcon his storyline as if it never happened, but instead introduce Kang in a future Avengers or Fantastic Four film. Give him a better buildup as a better villain. This is a character that I feel like can work as a big villain the character needs to be done right. 

4. I would recon the films Thor Love and Thunder and Ant Man Quantum Realm. 

I hated both of these films so much that I would recommend these films; they never happened after Secret Wars. What I would do is make Thor 5 a proper retelling of God Butcher, and as for Ant-Man, well, I would reboot the character again and give him a new storyline where Cassie is not the worst character. These two films need to be erase because they were the worst films in those franchises.  

3. I would recon Secret Invasion and make into a future Avengers film.

Secret Invasion was garbage so I would erase this project; it never happened, but I would release a proper Secret Invasion adaptation as an Avengers film that could lead into Dark Reign. We need a proper Secret Invasion. I mean, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did it better than the live-action show. 

2. I would recon certain events in WandaVision and Falcon and Winter Soldier. 

Now, these two shows, I would fix them, like Wanda enslaving an entire town and getting away with it. I would reckon that she did answer for that crime, and I would change the scene of Sam defending the Flag Smashers, too. He never defends them; in fact, he looks down on their actions for what they did to so many people. Again, John Walker did nothing wrong. 

1. I would have personally re-con T'Challa's death but I know they won't.

Personally, I would have re-con T'Challa's death because Secret Wars seems like the perfect idea of a reset, but no, Marvel and Ryan Coogler are determined not to recast T'Challa; they want to give it to the son, T'Challa Jr. It's very frustrating; it would just make it easier if they just recast after Secret Wars. It wouldn't disrespect Chadwick's memory but honor him. I mean, if Doomsday flops or gets bad write-ups, then Disney might say, "Okay, we are rebooting the MCU after Secret Wars." It could happen; just be ready, everyone. They might even tell David Johnson that he is now playing T'Challa son of T'Chaka now instead of junior. 

I would recast the biggest characters like Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Widow, and bring them back with new actors. Recasting is not insulting, but it just brings back those characters because everyone should have the right to play them. I would also make another Iron Man film. I would adapt Armor Wars because Iron Man should be in that story. Here is who I would recast in the MCU. 

Mason Dye as Steve Rogers/Captain America

Glen Powell as Tony Stark/Iron Man

Sophie Turner as Natasha Romainoff/Black Widow 

Harris Dickinson as Clint Barton/Hawkeye

Stephen James as Jim Rhodes/War Machine 

Nicholas Hamilton as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver

Sophie Thatcher as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch 

Patrick Schwartzengger as Moon Knight

Alexandra Daario as She Hulk

So that's what I think the MCU should recon, reboot, and recast. Let me know what you think? What do you think the MCU should recon, reboot, and recast after Secret Wars? Let me know. 

Hayden Panenttiere Tribute

 

Hayden Panenttiere Tribute

Today we lost Hayden Panettiere; she was a talented actress and was part of our childhoods. We all remember her from Bugs life, Heroes, and most of all Kingdom Hearts. She was the voice of Kairi. Hayden was an amazing actress, and her death was a shock to all of us. I remember meeting Hayden once; she was very nice, and I gotta tell ya, I told her I loved Kingdom Hearts, and she loved that. It was sad that she didn't return for Kingdom Hearts 3, as she explained she was never asked, which shocks everyone why they didn't ask if she wanted to come back but Hayden will always be the original voice of Kairi. Hayden's work will live on forever, and my deepest condolences to her family and friends. All will miss her; this blog is dedicated to her memory. 

Rip Hayden Panettiere 

"Don't Ever Forget: Wherever You Go, I'm Always With You."

"One Sky, One Destiny."

My thoughts on the X-Men casting.

 

So we have our MCU X-Men cast, and here are my thoughts on the casting and what I hope the film will deliver.

First my thoughts on the cast announced at Disney Expo. 

Kit Connor as Cyclops

Now I've already given my thoughts on the casting of Cyclops, and I think Kit Connor will do a great job. I hope they do Cyclops right and make him a proper leader. I also heard that Cyclops will be the main character of the film, and it will center around him. I hope it's true; it's just a rumor because I don't think Jean will work after Brand New Day.

Maya Boyd as Storm

So I don't know much about Maya Boyd, but I think she will do a great job as Storm, and it's likely we will see her in Black Panther 3 as T'Challa's love interest, and I would love to see Storm as co-lead in this film with Cyclops because, to me, they are the best X-Men leaders in comics. I really like Jasmin Lawson as Storm, but Maya will be good. 

Christopher Abbot as Professor X

Christopher Abbot is our new Xavier, and I haven't seen him in many films or shows, but I think he will do a good job playing Xavier in the film. 

Samara Weaving as Emma Frost

Now, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost: she is perfect for the role. She looks the part, and personally I would have made her Scott's main love interest over Jean, but hey, a lot of people are saying Kit Connor is going to have a fun time. I hope there isn't a love triangle, but it's likely there will be one involving Scott, Jean, and Emma; hopefully it's better written. I think Emma will be an enemy of the X-Men in this film and later join them. 

Inde Navarrette as Rogue

Now I think Inde is going to do a great job as Rogue; her performance in Obsession was groundbreaking. I haven't seen Obsession, but I will see when I get the chance. They say Rogue will not be on the X-Men team but will likely join later. 

Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister

Now I think Adam Driver is a great choice for Mr. Sinister, and he's got the right type of voice. I think he will do a great job, and I think making Mr. Sinister the villain in the first film is a good move. 

Sadie Sink as Jean Grey

Now, as we know, Sadie Sink played Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and I think she did a good job, but I did not like how Jean was written film, like she does horrible things, especially that scene with Peter and MJ; it's so messed up. It's like she should have been punished for her crimes but got the misunderstood-villain trope. Maybe Marvel will recon that arc after Secret Wars, or they might reveal that Jean is actually Madame Pryor, but maybe not. I hope they fix Jean in the X-Men film. She will likely be a co-lead with Cyclops, but after Brand New Day I'm not sure she would work, because she did messed-up stuff in Brand New Day. 

Now they have yet to cast Beast, Angel, or Gambit in the next film because they are also said to be in the X-Men film, so if I were to cast them. I would cast

Asa Germann as ArchAngel 

Asa is rumored to be up for the role of Archangel in the film, and he did audition for Cyclops. I hope they do Angel right because he was wasted in Last Stand and Apocalypse. 

Daniel Radcliffe as Beast

I think Daniel Radcliffe would be great for Beast. Also, I read that Charles Melton was in talks, but he dropped out over money issues, so he will not play Beast. 

Austin Butler as Gambit 

I think Austin is just the perfect choice for Gambit like he looks the part and he can act. 

So that's my thoughts on the X-Men casting, and I got to say I'm excited for this film, and I hope it's good. Also, I’m happy they are calling the film X-Men: Take That, Alonso.

But who knows? They might screw it up because the MCU hasn't been good lately- well, except for a few, but Marvel is trying to make it up to the fans. Let me know what you think of the MCU X-Men Cast.
