EVERYTHING Black Panther - Part 4

[DrCosmic]

That part is easy....

Not what makes him 'not alienating,' or whatever, but what makes him actually marketable. They're not going to market BP as a Hawkeye movie, y'know? Why does any/everyone want to see BP? It can't really be tech, or soldierness or uber royalty.

I hope so. That would be cool.

Marvel does have the tendency to introduce a character that shows up in multiple movies, so if BP shows up in Cap 3, it's not going to be one and done for him.

If we're going by what we've seen, there's no film on the horizon for Falcon, War Machine, Black Widow, Hawkeye or any other supporting superhero. Either you stand on your own... or you don't.

OT: I love Renner as Hawkeye but you know what I kinda wish...that whoever was playing Hawkeye would be a regular on the SHIELD show

 

[CaptainWagner]

It's not a lack of announcement of a BP movie that surprises me, it's the lack of an official announcement of a Dr. Strange movie.

-Especally when Feige nonchalantly answers questions about it in his interview. Have they forgotten the movie hasn't actually been announced yet?

-As for Black Panther, they could easily set him up in AOU. There were sequences filmed in Africa and Cap's shield is getting broken, so there's a possibility of making a suprise visit to King T'Chaka in Wakanda.

That would be so beautiful.

I thought it was interesting that Feige, when asked about an African American Captain America making to the movies said they'd consider anything that's a good story, but you're more likely to see an established African American or African superhero first. A pretty explicit call out of Black Panther, I would have to think.

 

[DrCosmic]

^That's what I took it as, and the more likely is about as good a sign as you get with Feige.

 

[cph9fa]

For the sake of completeness, he was asked about both the female Thor and the African American Cap, and responded that you're more likely to see established female or African American, or African African characters first. You can imagine he's gotta be getting tired of being asked about it all the time, though.

 

[DrCosmic]

It is interesting that he'd mention Afr-Am characters, which with the awkward "African African" might be a slip of the tongue, or they might actually just be considering a Blade reboot or (in my wildest dreams) Spectrum or (in some impossible parallel universe) Blue Marvel movie.

I thought Blade wasn't african-American. I thought Goyer made him that, well, he should be that anyway.

 

[Anubis]

I don't know, I'd love for rebooted Blade to be a Brit.

Also, people keep using "African American". They don't seem to really grasp what that means. Just say black dumbass. Just say black.

Blade was born in England in the comics, although he was always black, he was also a nomadic hunter at an early age. Goyer actually fought against studios wanting Blade to be played by a white actor. The Goyer version is different from the original comics (although not the later re-imagining) in that Blade didn't consider himself human. I think we can only say that Blade has dark skin, because giving him a racial or national label isn't easy.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So did I hear this correctly that Blade recently became an Avenger?

 

[Anubis]

Why not? It's not exactly an exclusive club. D-Man was an Avenger. He is literally a bum.

 

[MadVillainy]

Who hasnt been an Avenger at this point in the comics

 

[Dr. Evil]

Blade is someone I'd like to see in the MCU.

 

[Lantern Venom]

So did I hear this correctly that Blade recently became an Avenger?

Yes, although the last time I checked, he had the unfortunate moniker of Spider Hero.

 

[Dr. Evil]

About half the X-Men.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yes, although the last time I checked, he had the unfortunate moniker of Spider Hero.

I thought he was the latest to become Ronin as an Avenger?

 

[Lantern Venom]

I thought he was the latest to become Ronin as an Avenger?

He was or is; I'm not completely up to date on the current Avengers.

 

[E-Man]

Blade only wore the Spider-Hero shirt during the first battle as a joke. He was looking for something to wear to fight Thanos' invading army, and he couldn't be seen in America. Then he wore the Ronin outfit until he just said **** it and took the mask off. He's leaving Mighty Avengers soon though. I think they just wanted to use him for a little bit.

That's a relief. I thought that it might be attempt to make Blade more kid-friendly to coincide with his appearance on the Ultimate Spidey 'toon. Blade isn't a hero that should ever be softened up.

I know he's a Brit, I read his Mi-13 run I think it was. I also read some earlier comics but I never really liked anything he was in.

 

[DrCosmic]

Wow, I didn't know Blade was British. Standing corrected.

He said African American because he was specifically asked about African American, but then corrected it to African because that's the more likely scenario for movies.

In the television world, we have Luke Cage, though, who may very well be the first black lead Marvel superhero in the MCU.
