So if that's the case, the Contessa must have her hands in several cookie jars. Be interesting to see how this all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USAgent didn't seem movie worthy. He was too cheesy. Maybe after getting grim and gritty they switch him up a bit but all in all he was cheese city. How about...White Vision, Sylvie, Abomination, Mordo, Killmonger (wait, he's dead) M'Baku?, and maybe Swordsman (he's a bit cheesy as well though). They could go a lot of ways. In a perfect world they promise DeFoe a lead role in a Dark Avengers as a tradeoff for coming back and he's Superior Spider-Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world they promise DeFoe a lead role in a Dark Avengers as a tradeoff for coming back and he's Superior Spider-Man. USAgent seems to be too obvious a choice. Also, he's not a villain. Dark Avengers is clearly villains, basically the worst that Osborn could conjure up, with the exception of Songbird. I would really like to them develop Abomination. In his mutated form, he doesn't seem to have much of a personality; hell he barely even speaks. In the comics, he is a well formed, crafty villain who was given a lot of depth when Peter David was writing him. And for some reason I think Swordsman would be a good. He does seem cheesy, but for all we know that could just be a front. They could bring DeFoe back and he could steal Stark tech to get a real Iron Patriot.

I would love to see Defoe as Iron Patriot! YES! Bring it on. Dark Avengers is one of my favorite storylines. Lpgk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickSp Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 So glad to see the big guy turn out to be who we all wanted. Fingers crossed they keep the street level style shows coming, he can be such an amazing presence throughout. Juno Beach and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Quote That sound you hear is the sound of a million doors to a million Marvel stories opening all at once because of the final seconds of this week’s episode of Hawkeye. We don’t have any time to waste with an intro paragraph, so let’s throw up a SPOILER ALERT for Hawkeye Episode 5, “Ronin,” and get moving! Spoiler After a relatively short wait of two weeks, we have an answer to one of Hawkeye’s biggest mysteries: who is the big man pulling the strings on Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) and the Tracksuit Mafia? The answer is, of course, Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio). If this reveal didn’t make you jump off your couch with excitement, then, well, you are not like me. It’s also telling that this episode debuted mere days before the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters. Now, the release dates of all of Marvel’s TV shows and movies have shuffled around a bunch because of COVID-19, so who knows if this was intentional. It’s just fun to point out that Netflix’s Kingpin is arriving in the MCU the same week that a whole bunch of actors who played Spider-Man villains in non-MCU Spider-Man movies are returning to the big screen. Anyway — this reveal sets us up for Hawkeye’s grand finale, which will air next Wednesday on Disney+. How much Kingpin will we get to see? And are there more tricks left in the show’s quiver? The finale can’t come fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@therealsilvermane Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 As has been speculated by others, I think the MCU will split into an upper level tier and a lower level tier and they won't cross over as much as they have in the past. The upper level tier will involve the big gun or fantastic power heroes who deal with more cosmic/multiversal level events and they'll be heroes like Captain Marvel, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, She-Hulk, Shang-Chi, Dr Strange, Eternals, etc. and they'll deal with big gun threats like aliens, Kang, Korvac, etc. The lower level tier heroes will be those with with lower powers or no powers and will include heroes like Sam Wilson Captain America, Winter Soldier, the new Black Widow, Kate Bishop, Moon Knight, etc. They will deal with more earthbound street level threats and this lower tier's "Thanos" will be the Kingpin.

Bosco685 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 The real big reveal in the end... Spoiler Who Is S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 19? We’ve already speculated pretty heavily about one of the big mysteries in Disney+’s Hawkeye: who owns that Rolex watch Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) was chasing after? And now, thanks to the finale, we finally know. Spoilers past this point, but as suspected, the Rolex belongs to Laura Barton (Linda Cardellini). And not only that, it seemingly confirmed that Laura is S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 19. A bit of explanation here is necessary, because unlike other aspects of the explosive final episode, titled “So This Is Christmas?”, the moment that reveals Laura’s true identity is relatively subtle. After Clint finally returns home for Christmas, he hands out presents to his entire family. While one kid freaks out about a Nerf gun, Clint takes a quiet moment with his wife.

@therealsilvermane Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Kingpin and Echo's relationship really does echo that of Thanos and Gamora. With that... Btw, Kingpin must have taken some kind of black market version of the super soldier serum or something. I know in the comics he's just a really muscular dude but that can't explain everything in a live action version. Lpgk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Enjoyed this very much. Found it to be the consistently best of the live-action DIS+ Marvel series so far. Great to see another NFLX character join up. Juno Beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
