Nothing Can Stop The Klaw! - Andy Serkis As Ulysses Klaw

[Chesterfield]

I think he's referring to Nyong’o's Nakia who goes on to become the villain Malice.

 

[MbJ]

N'Jakada (Killmonger) and possibly M'Baku. Who else?

Nakia is the possibly one I mentioned.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Klaw in this movie? Andy Serkis seems to be listed on the Black Panther entry on Wikipedia. But for official announcements, he never seems mentioned. Is he just a small role if he is in this at all?

 

[Chesterfield]

So they finally made a wiki page for this. Good.

 

[MbJ]

They cite an article from Umberto Gonzalez that just says Andy Serkis is returning without any actual sources confirming it.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

He's in

Well he finally decided to show his hand.

 

[Golgo-13]

Glad he's back!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

No way were they going to leave him out after introducing him in AoU.

 

[RockSP]

Well he finally decided to show his hand.

 

[Krystal]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!!!

Finally something.

 

[StarLord]

Awesome news!

 

[MbJ]

Now the question is will he turn into a being of sound energy or will they save that for the sequel.

Because they have the premier motion capture artist on the planet playing him.

 

[TyBig]

I wonder if he will even be a villain in this or just flashback scenes

 

[The Infernal]

He Klaw'd his way back into the movie.

 

[Dark Raven]

At this point, why would he choose to have that sonic device on the end of his arm in place of his hand? I could understand maybe temporarily having it, or even permanently having it if he goes mad, but while he's still sane, wouldn't he want just a normal hand? Even Coulson has something that still looks like a normal hand, even though it has special capabilities.

 

[MbJ]

The same reason Coulson had an energy shield built into his prosthetic hand.

 

[Dark Raven]

But it's not in place of his prosthetic hand like the sonic device would be for Klaw.

 

[MbJ]

You're thinking too literally. They could just as easily give him a normal-looking prosthetic hand that transforms into a sonic cannon. They don't have to follow the comics to the letter.

Yeah that's the most likely scenario, IMO. Even in Hudlin's run that's what he had, a cybernetic arm that transformed.

There will probably be some Winter Soldier comparisons but

 

[Dark Raven]

I'm just waiting for Tom Holland's Spider-Man to say "You have a sonic cannon? That's awesome!"

 

[metaphysician]

As for why a sonic cannon, note that this version of Klaw isn't a super scientist, he's an arms dealer. So, if necessary, you can go with "I wanted a replacement hand with onboard weaponry, and the best option available from my underworld mad science contacts was a sonic cannon". You don't *have* to justify why he would make a sonic cannon, since he's not making it, some unimportant genius for hire made it.

That said, a sonic cannon isn't a *bad* pick, since there's a lot of superhuman who may be fast or tough, but still need to hear, and can be screwed with if their ear suddenly is causing them pain and/or vertigo. If the volume can be pumped up to "turn concrete into pulp", that's just a bonus.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Klaue a South African name and is it pronounced the same way as Klaw?

 

[Wylie Times]

Is Klaue a South African name and is it pronounced the same way as Klaw?

It's supposed to be Belgian and yes Klaw is the correct pronunciation.

Also a conceivable way to hurt the protagonist even when he's in the suit. Unless he has vibranium earmuffs.
