I heard ABC if giving them a BIG budget increase for the finale as well so it should be even more awesome!

 

Disney announced two new original series from Marvel Studios

MOON KNIGHT



She-Hulk


Casting has not yet been announced.

 

It was actually three. You forgot Ms Marvel.

 

Moon Knight is like Batman on steroids, some might say. He's got an aide-de-camp, untold wealth, crime-fighting gadgets, frightening enemies, and split personalities to boot. The official trailer is likely to be a total head trip.

 

Yeah, Moon Knight is basically Batman if they played up the mental health issues he'd rightfully have being as obsessive as he is about fighting crime.

From Jon Snow to The Black Knight



After wearing the black cloak of the Night's Watch on Game of Thrones for years, Kit Harington will portray Dane Whitman, Marvel's Black Knight in Eternals. As revealed today at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Harington will portray one of the few non-Eternal characters in the film, which will focus on a race of powerful, near-immortal aliens in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Although the Black Knight has never been Marvel's most celebrated character, the hero has a history that stretches back to the era before Marvel was even called Marvel Comics. Whitman, who is just one of several Black Knights, has also had a lengthy superhero career that's seen him lead the Avengers and travel around the Marvel Multiverse.

The original Black Knight was created by Stan Lee and Joe Maneely for Atlas Comics, Marvel's precursor, in 1955. Years before heroes like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four established the Marvel Universe, Black Knight followed the medieval adventures of Sir Percy of Scandia as he fought the evil wizard Morderd the Evil. In his quest, Percy used armor that had been enchanted by Merlin the Magician and the Ebony Blade, a mystical sword Merlin carved out of meteorite.

Although the series only lasted five issues, the Ebony Blade became cursed to slowly drive its users mad, due to all of the blood that it was used to spill.

In 1964, Stan Lee and Dick Ayers introduced a present-day Black Knight in Tales to Astonish #52. Professor Nathan Garrett, Percy's descendant, found the Ebony Blade but could not use it, due to his evil inclinations. Enraged by this, he developed several hi-tech medieval-style weapons and became the villainous Black Knight.

After fighting Giant-Man and the Avengers and joining the Masters of Evil, he died after falling off his flying robot horse during a fight with Iron Man.

As Garrett lay dying, he summoned his nephew Dane Whitman and asked him to atone for his life of crime as a heroic Black Knight. When Dane debuted as the Black Knight in Roy Thomas, George Tuska and John Verpoorten's Avengers #47, the Avengers initially mistook him for his villainous uncle before making him an on-and-off provisional member of the team.

After floating around the Marvel Universe for years, Dane joined the Avengers for a few years in the mid-1980s, where he dealt with the corrupting influence of the Ebony Blade. After a few years away from the team, Dane started his most notable stint on the Avengers in the early 1990s, where he served as the team's leader when Captain America wasn't around.

During his 1990s with the Avengers, Black Knight had a close romantic relationship with Sersi, one of the Eternals. This quickly turned into a love triangle when Dane found himself infatuated with the Inhumans' Crystal, who was also on the team. Although Sersi was one of the team's strongest members, she grew increasingly mentally unstable due to the influence of an evil, alternate reality Black Knight named Proctor.

Black Knight and Sersi eventually left the Avengers and traveled to the Ultraverse, an alternate reality where they encountered Loki, the Infinity Stones and the heroes of Malibu Comics. On their way back to the Marvel Universe, Dane and Sersi fought the X-Men villain Apocalypse in the 12th century before getting separated in the timestream.


After returning to the Marvel Universe, Dane joined Luke Cage and Iron Fist in the Heroes for Hire before moving on to European super-teams like New Excalibur, MI: 13 and Euroforce.

As the Ebony Blade took an increasing toll on his sanity, Whitman found himself pursued by the Avengers in his short-lived 2015 series Black Knight, by Frank Tieri and Luca Pizzari. Although that story left him as the ruler of the kingdom of New Avalon in the other-dimensional Weirdworld, he eventually returned to the Marvel Universe to lend a hand in crossovers like Secret Empire and War of the Realms.

While the announcement of Black Knight's role in Eternals was unexpected, it wasn't a total surprise. Despite his relatively minor role in the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe, his presence in the MCU was rumored late last year. That rumor also suggested that he may have a connection to the Quantum Realm, although that remains to be seen.

At the same time that Harington's role in Eternals was announced, Marvel revealed that Captain Marvel star Gemma Chan would be joining the film as Sersi. Given their lengthy shared history, Dane and Sersi seem likely to have some sort of connection or relationship in the MCU. With his history of traveling through dimensions, Whitman could also play a role in the MCU's increasingly important multiverse.

While the MCU has lost iconic heroes like Iron Man, Steve Rogers and (possibly) Spider-Man, the presence of Black Knight and Sersi gives the MCU two more classic Avengers, who are likely to find themselves on a future incarnation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

 

The Black Panther sequel has been officially announced for a May 6th, 2022 release date.

I wonder why the late date. That is like 3 years from now.

 

I'm a little perplexed as to why Marvel Studios can't release this film by the end of 2021. It's my understanding principal production will start later this early year, early 2020. Post-production usually takes nearly 1 year.

 

They trippin. The only thing I was anticipating more than BP 2 is Black Widow. 3 trips around the sun is too far out to think about now just for a movie. I mean damn, we'll have water fountains and taco bell on the moon before the third installment.

 

I was under the impression that black widow was “wack”.

 

There is plenty of room for an interesting storyline. She is far more interesting than wonder woman or captain marvel.

Actually if captain america can be made to be interesting, a black widow movie should be even easier to make entertaining. I could even write a storyline for her with minimal effort.
