Too "Diesel" to be human: Is vin going to be an Inhuman?

 

 

          It has been a while since actor Vin Diesel of "Fast and the Furious" fame has hinted at his possible involvement in an Marvel Inhumans movie. Actually it was before marvel announced that a film was being made, was he just trolling and happened to hit on a secret upcoming project? Or did our favorite movie street racer shift to soon (maybe purposely) with some inside information? However it happened it seems he is at it again posting the above image on his facebook page with no explanation as to what it means, lets explore the situation a bit more.

 

          Back in on August 9th vin teased fans with a facebook post

N'Jadaka A.K.A. Erik Killmonger: Movies, The Mandarin, and everything in between?

          N'Jadaka was a resident of Wakanda when Klaw attacked the country and enlisted the help (forcefully) of his father. When klaw was defeated and his father killed in the battle N'Jadaka was exiled from Wakanda when he took refuge in Harlem New York. It was here that he changed his name to Erik Killmonger and studied at M.I.T. while plotting his revenge on both Back Panther and Klaw. After contacting T'challa he was repatriated back to Wakanda and resided in a village which was named N'Jadaka after him. It was from here he decided to overthrow T'challa but after numerous small defeats he was eventually killed by Black Panther but that was not the last of Killmonger.
The Mandarin with the power of his rings claimed the body of Killmonger and was able to resurrect him for a new nefarious plot. With the destruction of a Wakanda based stark industries warehouse Tony and Rhodey travel to Wakanda to investigate this is when Rhodey is drugged and captured by Killmonger. Then in a battle between Killmongers forces and a life model decoy of black panther it appeared as if panther was killed which Killmonger blames on Tony and uses this to try to gain the support of the people of Wakanda. At this moment T'challa reveals he is not dead and defeats Killmonger in battle this prompts the Mandarin to recall the power of his ring and Killmogers is once again dead. This is not the very end of Killmongers story either being resurrected yet again but we will stop here for now to discuss how this is perfect for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Netflix News: 3 Defenders offcially cast

          Ok, so if you have been following the news on Marvels upcoming Netflix shows (Daredevil, Aka Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and The Defenders) then it may not come as much as a surprise to you that Marvel and Netflix have just officially announced Halo Nightfall star Mike Colter as Luke Cage you can read the full press release from Marvel.com HERE. He will be joining the already confirmed stars Charlie Cox (as Daredevil/Matt Murdock) and Krysten Ritter (as Jessica jones). Some may find it strange that his casting announcement has come before Iron Fist who is scheduled to be the 3rd series to debut after Daredevil and Jessica jones, But

A Sticky Web: What should Marvel do with Spider-man?

          Spider-Man one of my all time favorite heroes is getting pulled apart by a daunting custody battle between Sony and Marvel. This ongoing negotiation has fans on a roller coaster of emotions (seems most are rooting for marvel to take full control) and even news outlets cant keep up with the litigations. Before I touch on what seems to be the main points for fans lets go over some of the alleged proposals for Spideys rights.

          Ideas being tossed around such as Marvel gets to use Spidey in Captain America Civil War (Spidey, Cap, Iron man, Panther please please!) with Sony paying 25% of the films cost and getting to use two Marvel Characters in they're next Spidey movie with marvel putting up 25% for that film. Also Sony would be able to continue the plot of civil war in the subsequent Spidey movies as well being in control of Spideys costume, actor, and input on directors for anything Spidey appears in.
There is also a push for Marvel to use Spidey in infinity wars 1+2 and have to produce a Spidey film by 2019 the consequence if any of the movies miss the release date.....100 million in damages to Sony and full rights revert back. Its reported that Sony is also asking for promotion through marvels Parent company Disney. Talk about a hard bargain, from a business standpoint does Sony really have that much leverage with Spidey to warrant all the demands also does marvel need Spidey that much? but of course from a fan stand point WHO CARES JUST GET IT DONE!!!! so lets examine what's important to fans and the fan points.

          Ok so what Should be fans cares and concerns? I'm sure Numerous things but lets touch on a few of the important ones.

• Re-Rebooting: Should his character once again be rebooted with his origin being tweeked once more to fit the events of the MCU?
• Actor: it looks like Andrew may be out so who should take of the great responsibility of being the new face of peter
• The Age: what Spidey are we going for? with so much already happening in the MCU do we want a fresh just got his powers high school Spidey to greatly offset the older already assembled avengers or do we want a late collage peter already comfortable and seasoned as a hero. 
• Costume: With Spidey sporting so many Amazing digs is it time we get something fresh. I'm sure a great draw in would be the use of spider-armor which would be perfect for civil war for at least part of the film.
• Peters Women: Lets face it part of what makes Spidey great is his life as peter but introducing  him in several films before his next solo bout we might not be able to see much of his personal life but if so who is most important Gwen? Mary Jane? Aunt May?

          I have a lot of faith in Marvels cinematic capabilities and look forward to see how this all pans out. Which ever way this web of studio negotiations decides to swing I just hope Spidey fans climb out on top.

Black Panthers Movie Mask: how should it be done?

        

        Full disclosure I am the type of fan who loves to see my characters brought to the big screen looking like they were ripped from the pages of a comic. I am also not opposed to minor changes which can help make the characters fit in a real world setting a bit but I am totally against swapping a whole teams outfit and mask for black matrix leather(obviously black panther already wears black so no problem there).

          Why is Black Panthers mask important to marvel? well until now in the main marvel cinematic universe we have yet to see a fully masked hero. Thor wears a

The man without fear...Netflix (entertainment weekly exclusive set photos inside)

           

          Daredevil the man without fears live action series is coming and just in time for those of us wanting a little more marvel action, no offense to agent carter or agents of shield but some of us want a little more super hero in our hero series to hold us over between movies. Its looking like it is shaping up to be on par with the rest of marvel greatness going around (still no word on exactly when we will see the red suit) with a tentative may 2015 release date im sure it will feed somewhat off of the Age of Ultron hype. Lets hope that it is as good as expected being presented as a complete series most will be watching it in a binge format (Im sure I will get through the whole series in 2 days....maybe 1) I don't know if it would be better characterized as a mini series or a long movie. Paving the way for Jessica jones, iron fist, Luke cage, and ultimately The defenders I hope it is well received by fans and critics alike opening doors for future characters who may not warrant a solo film(or reboot) but we would love to see in live action (Punisher/Blade crossover anyone?) some new info and set photos were released by entertainment weekly today check them and the article out after the jump

Monica Lynne: Panthers first love (is she needed on the big screen?)

Monica Lynne a singer from Georgia who was saved by black panther from the sons of the serpent during his stint in the U.S. with the avengers. T'challa fell in love with Ms. Lynne eventually getting engaged and taking her back to his kingdom of Wakanda. Often opposed by his people Monica Lynne was the target of numerous assassination attempts and plots throughout there relationship causing countless break ups and make ups. It was not until she witnessed T'challa share a kiss with the X-mens storm that she finally called it quits for good (T'challa eventually marries storm but another time for that).

          So Monica was his first love and has been a part of the panther story for a long time she ties in with a few of his great story's but the question is.....do we need her adapted into the big screen? If so when? its way to early to tell what direction marvel will go but with panther

Wakanda!! (part:1 a brief history)

            

           Ok so its time to discuss the birthplace and home of Black Panther. The nation of Wakanda is a fictional land located in northeast Africa, where exactly? that's up for debate(another time for that). Wakanda was founded around 10,000 years ago under the rule of Bashenga believed to be the first Black Panther and an ancestor to our very own T'challa. Wakanda today is a remarkable technologically advanced civilization due to its many scientist and vibranium .....yes vibranium for those who don't know a quick rundown, vibranium is an ore found in great abundance in Wakanda due to an meteorite made of vibrinum which crashed in Wakanda some time long ago. It has a lot of unique properties such as being able to absorb and store energy due to impact, Which is why it was used to construct the iconic object Captain Americas shield (also black panthers suit is made of vibranium). Vibranium is also one of the main reasons the nation of Wakanda was raided and attacked so many times throughout its history prompting constant protection from its protectors of each generation. Wakanda is also home to many tribes and factions besides the Black panther cult(touch on that later also) so it is not without inner conflict by any means. Wakanda's appearance changes throughout the years and I am very interested to see how it will be depicted in the upcoming film that's all for now stay tuned for future post for a more in depth look at Wakanda and what to expect from the film adaptation


          

Man Ape! M'Baku (should he make the movie and who should play him?)

          Lets talk Man-Ape a deadly and savage warrior from wakanda. Man Ape whos real name is M'Baku from the Jabari tribe is the leader of the White Gorilla Cult whom are eternal enemies to the black panther. He gained his special abilities Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility and durability by eating the flesh and bathing in the blood of the sacred white gorilla. Not a top tier villain in the whole scope of the marvel universe by any means but still not a bad guy you want to overlook man ape has been part of the Lethal Legion and even at some point the masters of evil. 

           Given his locality to wakanda and being a c class villain is what makes me think man ape would be a great bad guy to appear in the upcoming panther movie as a starter villain its a perfect fit for panther to face off against man ape who can be visually amazing in a jungle battle on the big screen and show the progression of the panther and his abilities early on before he takes on the main movie foe. As far as actors im thinking someone with alot of bulk who can dwarf bosemen in pure mass and also who has an athletic background. Bob Sapp has some acting credits and Alistair Overeem would be a good fit physically but im not sure if they would be able to pull off the speech so great cgi with the voice of Djimon Hounsou (who already has a relationship with marvel from Guardians of the Galaxy and actually voicing t'challa in the black panther animated series) would work great for me what do you guys think?

Batman vs Black Panther: Fanboy Faceoff

Very interesting debate comparing Batman and Black Panther.....we are not really big on face off wins determined by votes so the results are just fun at most but the facts to support each character are solid, well presented and entertaining from both Erin Robinson and Flitz in this video.

T'Chaka (Father of The Black Panther)

    

    T'Chaka the former chief of Wakanda who aslo happens to be the father of T'challa the black panther. A skilled warrior and hero to his people T'chaka assumed the title of The Black Panther before being succeeded by his first born son t'challa after his death. Growing up under his father King Azurri (who at the time was black panther you see the trend here?) T'chaka aided in battles against the red skull with the help of captain America and nick fury. His death came many years later at the hands of none other The Klaw (our last featured character) which set forth the events that would lead his son T'challa to taking up the mantel as black panther and king of Wakanda.

      Given that the character of T'Chaka is vital to the origin story of the black panther it wouldn't be crazy to assume that the team over at Marvel would include him in the upcoming black panther film. With that being said who would be great to portray the elder panther on the big screen? I would prefer a Strong maybe even well know actor (if the part is small) to bring in fan interest and give a solid launch point for Bosemen , But careful not to take the shine away from the main actor *cough Russell Crowe man of steel cough*.Also just how deep will they go with the ties between Nick Fury Captain America and the people of wakanda. Perhaps some flash back footage of t cap meeting a young T'chaka sometime during the world war? Its very possible that this can even be teased in the upcoming Captain America civil war film. Im hoping for more casting details soon as well as the villain announcements but until them we will keep exploring the possibilities

Black Panther Movies???(video after jump)

As we already know Black Panther will be appearing in the upcoming Captain America flick CIVIL WAR, but is there a chance he will be showing up in other films before the release of his own movie? Its been rumored that Bosemen has signed a 5 picture deal with Marvel studios and in a recent interview with Logan Lermen for Variety's actors on actors Bosemen when asked if there was a director for his upcoming film answered "theres a director on, you know the movies that im introduced". Yes he said movies.....mistake? maybe or will we be seeing alot more black panther sooner then we thought? Overall it seems Boseman has a positive outlook on marvel and a great respect for the character. Captain American: Civil War starring Robert Downey jr and Chris Evens is set to release May 6th 2016. The other marvel cinematic universe films slated to release before black panther are Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and the 3rd installment of Thor:ragnarok staring Chris Hemsworth. What films if any do you think he will turn up in? There still is a chance of a cameo in the upcoming Avengers:Age of Ultron on May 1st 2015 i guess we will know soon enough check out the full video interview below

Ulysses Klaw!!

                 

              Ok lets dive into the dark side of the Panther universe starting with one of his greatest villains Ulysses Klaw or just Klaw. Klaw is a long time foe of Black Panther, once being hired to kill a young t'challa (an unsuccessful attempt of course) he suffered extensive damage to his hand which was later replaced by a klaw like device and fitted with a sonic blast emitter. Klaw has went up against the likes of the  Avengers, fantastic four and even spider-man on occasions. He was also inducted into an iteration of the evil super group the masters of evil proving his worth as a diabolical menace. With the help of a vibranium powered sonic converter device he was able to transform himself into a being of living sound making him even more dangerous of a force to be reckoned with. Rumors are that Andy Serkis (gollum from the hobbit) may be set to portray klaw on the big screen due to his involvement in the upcoming Avengers:Age of ultron movie. Serkis is a motion capture genius and his resent voice over work on the recently relesed star wars the force awakens trailer was amazing (but more on him later if he is actually paying klaw).
