I'd guess that Jordan would be playing Erik Killmonger. He doesn't have the build to play M'Baku.

When has that ever mattered? But that's also a possibility for him to play, especially if Klaw is back.

Awwww, I still feel kinda bad for that guy.

Re: Batman Forever, the one thing about the Batman/Robin partnership there is that Bruce isn't looking for a partner, he does just feel genuinely bad for the kid. Once he finds out what's hidden downstairs, he wants in but Bruce rightly tells him gently caress no, put aside vengeance, get on with your life and all that. Even when nearly killed and saved by Robin, Batman still says no. The whole thing is ultimately Alfred's fault, he kits him out, tells Bruce to deal with it and accept the help so he grudgingly concedes. Compared to Tony in Civil War Val Bruce is a frickin' saint..!

Saw CW, only thing I'm upset with is the Left Hand Free is the worst Alt-j song, and that's the one they picked for this movie. Like almost all of their other songs are fantastic, and they went with Left Hand Free.

Also, while talking about Heroes that could headline a movie, is Luke Cage free, or is he in JJ?

Well Robin has pretty much never been written well outside of comic books. Even Dick on B:TAS wasn't well done outside of his origin story. Tim on TNBA was a lot better, he got a few great episodes. And he was unambiguously a little kid.

I was thinking that the Kid Deadpool storyline would make for a good basis for a Deadpool sequel, but then I realized that having our hero teach an angry teen how to use a rifle and blow poo poo up would NOT go over well.

I hope he's the villain, and I hope it's Erik Killmonger, though maybe with a different name, because they played BP too straight in Civil War for me to hear him try to use that name seriously.

Killmonger's story is linked to Klaw, who's already been introduced to the MCU, and it'd give Coogler a chance to contrast T'Challa's upbringing in Wakanda with Killmonger's experiences in the US.

Man, this poo poo is almost guaranteed to be dope. Creed was probably my favorite movie from last year and Marvel has basically hired the whole cast sans Sylvester Stallone in the past few months.

I like the Idea of White Wolf. T'Challa's adopted brother.

It would be rehashing Thor(a bunch), but T'Challa was just put in charge and claimed the title of King, would everyone in Wakanda back him being king? Mix in the Namor Illuminati story beats with His brother or actually hell ignore white wolf and just use Shuri. Have the constituents find out that T'Challa is hiding and harboring the dude who was responsible for T'Chaka's death. And trying to find a way to heal him.

Boom Political intrigue which always make for the best Black Panther stories.

Didn't Zemo do it

E: I guess there wasn't conclusive proof not counting the full confession given privately, but considering the cell he was in the government sure believed it!

I have to imagine that somebody will be in Black Panther. There's like 8 Avengers hiding out in Wakanda. It won't make any sense to me if there's not some kind of cameo.

In most cases facts don't matter especially to a group of people that have contempt for someone or a group. Hell look at American politics for an example of that.

Not everyone knew Zemo was behind it via mind control. They do know though that Bucky was the attacker and if a faction dissenting the throne finds out he's there that could be problems.

I yiffed two people at once and all I got was laughed at.
Zemo didn't mind control him. He wore a mask. Bucky wasn't even in the same country. They found the mask in the hotel room. It's in The movie.

That makes it easier to follow for the general public too.
