Weekend Q&A - April 13, 2019

Hey Sean! What a big week for Marvel and Disney news. Here's my first question: Ever since Age of Ultron, there have been theories and assumptions that Captain America will use Mjolnir. Since Mjolnir is gone, and the Infinity Gauntlet is in play, which Epic Weapon would you most enjoy seeing Cap wield in Avengers: Endgame? Mjolnir (since anything is possible in Endgame), Stormbreaker, the Infinity Gauntlet, or maybe something else?

I don't mean this in a negative or critical way, but I can't help but think that in an effort to prolong the MCU as much as possible, Marvel Studios will put off X-Men and maybe the FF even longer than this next phase (or whatever they will call it from this point forward). Why blow their load on all these surefire properties when they've already proven they can turn any lesser known characters into gold? Just wondering your thoughts on this!

Okay, just one more, I promise. Have you seen the new Twilight Zone series yet? It not only stars Kumail Nanjani, an upcoming addition to the MCU, but it also stars Tracy Morgan in a more serious role. In light of this episode showing Morgan's ability to perfectly portray sad and "grim" aspects of otherwise comedic characters, I was wondering if you have given any consideration as to whether Tracy Morgan would make a good Ben Grimm? (I think I brought it up in Discord once, and I of course know you like Nick Offerman for the role, but just an alternative suggestion!)

Hey Sean! Haven’t had a question to ask in a while, just haven’t come up with any. But today I have one. 

So with the Disney + Investor Day MCU Series announcements being more of a confirmation of news we have been hearing from the trades, is there potential that whatever MS announces at SDCC/D23 will be a bit underwhelming if it’s just news we have also heard previously by the trades? (Ex: Eternals/BW/BP2/etc). I’m not saying that I wasn’t excited for the D+ series announcements but, as you said in a recent DB, they didn’t announce anything we didn’t already know. Even RDJ joked in an interview about BW and how everyone knew they are going to make that film but that KF was like we haven’t announced that. So what’s your take on if the secrecy strategy might be a detriment to those potential announcements post AE/FFH?

What do you believe the legacy of the Marvel/Netflix shows will be, do you think that they will be a footnote in Marvel’s TV history not so much Marvel Television’s history, but Marvel’s history with the medium of TV?

You are much more in tuned with what is going on in Hollywood more than most people I know Sean, I am of the belief because of the Box Office success of “Crazy Rich Asians” that is one of perhaps not the main reasons why “Shang-Chi” was put into production so soon, do you concur with this Sean?  Also, who if any do you think from “Crazy Rich Asians” could be cast in “Shang-Chi?”

Hey Sean I just wanted to ask a hypothetical question today. How do you think Hugh Jackman's Wolverine would have interacted with the mcu avengers in particular Tony Stark??

27:20 Zachary Kleinsasser

Hey Sean and Patreons!! Hope everyone is doing well and getting pumped for End Game!! The last Q&A you discussed at length the time frame of the X-Men joining the MCU and I had some thoughts. I 100% believe Fiege when he says it will be 5 years before we see X-Men in the MCU. I do think we will start seeing Easter eggs within the 5 year time period of mutants and x-men and I don’t know about everyone else but I will lose it when those Easter eggs appear! Just the thought of the word Mutants being stated in the Eternals for example has my brain spiraling! I am almost as excited for the potential X-Men Easter eggs as I am for the X-Men movie! Marvel Studios knows what they have with the X-Men and I think they are gonna take there time and build to it so when we finally do get the X-Men in the MCU it will be epic. Sorry there isn’t really a question in there, just my random nerd thoughts!

Sean, no question but I just want to say thanks to you, and Paul, and all the patrons for helping to build my own hype for Endgame. For many of us, I imagine this movie is THE cinematic event of our lives, and I'm really thankful to be apart of this community that love and appreciates what Marvel has done. By the time you're reading this we have less than two weeks to go, and I'm trying to heed your words of enjoying the journey on the way to this event. Thanks. #WhateverItTakes.
