James Gunn has taken a lot of liberties in adapting the Guardians of the Galaxy to the screen. From turning Yondu into a space hillbilly to making Ronan more of a popcorn fart than a Cosmic powerhouse, Gunn’s MCU versions of some classic characters haven’t always landed with me. One character who puts a check in the plus column, however, is Karen Gillan’s Nebula. After being abused and tortured at the hands of Thanos, Nebula is finally free of her father’s cruelty and able to move in a new direction. Gillan talked about Nebula’s past and potential future recently at GalaxyCon Live.
During a GalaxyCon panel, Gillan said, “I’m interested to maybe try and take her to a place now where she’s starting to rebuild her life,” something which, after killing her old, murderous self, should be interesting. She noted that ever since her introduction in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Nebula has “just had a really hard time of it. Though she started off as a villain, the audience has come to see her with “sympathy and empathy” now that we’ve seen how terribly she was treated by Thanos.
I was able to use a lot of psychology essays on that character, because she’s someone who has dealt with abuse from her father from such a young age. Not to make it too heavy, but he pitted the siblings against each other — she would be inferior and the scapegoat, while the other one was the golden child. It’s actually a quite common thing to happen within families and siblings. I don’t have any siblings, so it’s something I really had to read up on.
To Gillan, watching Thor separate Thanos from his head in Avengers: Endgame seems to be a pivotal, if not cathartic, moment in Nebula’s life, freeing her up to think about her future for the first time.
In Avengers, she had to face the source of her abuse, then actually watch him get eliminated from her life. I’m sort of thinking about future Nebula in the sense like, ‘What is she going to be like now that that person’s abuse has gone out of her life? How is she going to build herself back up again?’ Because it’s an odd feeling, I think, for someone who’s been abused by a parent, because they still love them and they’re sad that they’re gone, but also they hate them and they’re glad that they’re gone.
Gillan’s portrayal of Nebula as the character has grown has been a highlight of Gunn’s films. Her transformation from villain, to begrudging ally to full on hero now complete, we can look forward to her next steps as someone trying to move on from an incredible amount of trauma as one of the Guardians of the Galaxy!
The release date Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is, like everything else, is currently unknown but it is believed we will see it in theaters in 2023.
Known to be in development for several years, Marvel Studios’ Young Avengers became a reality the moment Iman Vellani‘s Kamala Khan met Hailee Steinfeld‘s Kate Bishop in The Marvels.
In May 2024, it was reported that production on a Young Avengers film was expected to begin in 2025. Later in 2024, reports circulated that the studio had decided to retitle the project Champions.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Connecting the Imaginary Dots articles on Murphy’s Multiverse, basically this is for stuff we find, that is not officially confirmed, but are more speculative pieces based on other information and “proof” we are putting together to make our conclusions.
This Connecting Imaginary Dots may not have quite as much backup as my Erin Kellyman article linked above, but strap in people because I really think I’m onto something here too!
Let’s begin with a quite accidental find while I was a bit bored and looking for more news to share with you all. As you will see below, actress Fala Chen, who can be seen in HBO drama The Undoing starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant this Fall, has some rather interesting Marvel related follows.
More importantly, Simu Liu and Destin Cretton (star and director of Shang-Chiand the Legend of the Ten Rings, respectively) are mutual follows with Fala. Now of course actors can mutually follow each other, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re working together. But it made me look a little closer.
This post is from Fala’s Instagram on January 3rd 2020. At first it isn’t obvious but a few commenters on the post guessed it and then it became obvious by the symbol on the upper right of the screen. She is on an Air New Zealand plane. Likely traveling somewhere “down under.”
A check on her Twitter shows a link to the same post but a bit more information in the tags: #newjob, #actorslife
And to that I say, “Ah-ha!… The plot thickens!”
The following post on January 24th shows Fala preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year with friends, presumably somewhere in New Zealand or Australia.
Notice who liked it?
Another post below was a few days later but obviously the same dinner of dumplings being prepared. See who liked it again? And that comment?!
Hmmmmm….
Now do me a favor okay? Scroll up this page back to the image around the table. See the guy with the black t-shirt working on the *green* dough?
Those arms, those pecks…Could that by any chance be our upcoming superhero Shang-Chi, aka Simu Liu himself, helping prepare the dumplings? You can probably guess, I think it is!
Further evidence of her filming Shang-Chi or something there for an extended period include her arriving January 3rd but not seeming to leave until a February 22 post in Los Angeles (which director Destin Cretton liked), a Valentine’s day flowers picture which appears to be in a very nice cast trailer, and a post on February 12 talking about unwinding after a 13 hour work day.
Yup. Obviously this is not confirmed or official by any means but I would have to say an actress that is mutually followed by the star and director of a movie, travels to a far away place where they’re filming, stays over a month and a half, hangs out with the star, gets her posts liked by both, etc, etc… She’s probably working on Shang-Chi. And probably a significant role.
For an idea who Fala Chen may be playing look back at this Charles Murphy Exclusive back in January which stated that MI-6 agents Clive Reston, Black Jack Tarr, and Leiko Wu are being introduced in Shang-Chiand the Legend of the Ten Rings.
“A Chinese female, 26-39 for Wu”
Fala is a very beautiful, 38 year old Chinese born actress who, per her IMDb page, speaks Mandarin, English, Cantonese, and Japanese. This would most certainly be a perfect fit for Leiko Wu.
In considering what it would take to set Marvel Studios Nova film apart from its prior Cosmic offerings and prepare Richard Rider to ascend as the studios greatest Cosmic hero, I’ve found myself challenged over the past several days. The character of Richard Rider isn’t hard to crack, but there’s more to a film than its lead. Instead of trying to write up a script (I’m no script writer), I’m instead going to try to roll out a series of pieces explaining how I would chose to tackle some of these challenges I’ve encountered while imagining the Nova film.
In Part 1 (which you can read right here), I took a crack at solving the problems surrounding the Xandarian Worldmind, the Nova Force and Richard’s kid brother, Robbie. In Part 2 (which you can read right here) I tackled a whole new set of problems surrounding the Human Rocket including his origin, why he wasn’t around during the events of Avengers: Endgame and what it is about him that makes him human enough to make mistakes and learn from them.
Something that became clear to me fairly early on in the process of writing this fan fiction was that I was crafting the origin story of a character who would ultimately participate in 5 or 6 films over a decade and ultimately leave his mark on the MCU as one of its greatest heroes. To me, the legacy of Richard Rider, the last great Nova Prime, had to be bulletproof and it had to be a story that could be told forever; in that way, it could never be told by an emotional being. That line of thinking took me pretty quickly to the only answer as to who would be narrating my Nova triology: Recorder 451.
Recorder 451 was created by one of my all-time favorite comic book writers, Kieron Gillen, and first appeared in issue #6 of his 2013 Iron Man. Gillen has said 451 was based on legendary sci-fi droids C-3PO and HAL-9000 among other influences. 451, as it turns out via Gillen’s retcon, has a whole lot to do with the Stark family and much of that is because he had a glitch in his AI that turned him against his very nature. Recorders were built by the Rigellian Empire to do explore the universe and record their observations; however, 451 decided to get a little too hands on in the comics and became something else and a very bit part of the Stark legacy. It looks like we won’t be getting that relationship here now that Iron Man is no more, but I love the character and, thanks to George Lucas, I may have found a way to sneak him in even it means changing him up.
In the 2014 book, How Star Wars Conquered the Universe, George Lucas told the book’s author, Chris Taylor, about what he called his “ultimate framing device.” The mythology Lucas developed for his Star Wars universe was incredible and while much of it never made it to the screen, it gave depth to films by providing a “lived-in” world. Par of this mythology was the Journal of the Whills, essentially a record of the events in that galaxy far, far away (the original title of Star Wars was Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as Taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars) According to Lucas, the stories were recounted to the keeper of the journals all by the one and only entity there to see it all (in 2014 and in Lucas’s mind, there were only 6 films): R2-D2. Yep, when you watch Episodes I-VI, what you’re supposed to be getting is the story as told to the keeper of the journals by that feisty astromech droid. That tidbit of information has really stuck with me and as I searched for a way to tell the story of Richard Rider, I determined that this was it and that Recorder 451 was going to be my R2-D2.
This is a choice that really sets the film apart from any other MCU entry because Recorder 451 would be both narrator and participant in the Nova trilogy with all 3 films employing a “story-within-a-story” narrative style. So while we would first meet Recorder 451 in the opening moments of the film, we would also watch as he entered into Rich’s life in the main narrative.
The opening scene of the first Nova film takes place in the year 3007. Recorder 451 stands in front of a group (no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop imagining Harrison Ford’s lecture in Raiders of the Lost Ark, complete with the girl blinking here “I love you” eyelashes at Indy. In this case, Recorder would certainly find it curious.”
“Richard Rider was born on Earth at a time when the planet’s greatest heroes, either by birth, by accident or by choice, possessed incredible powers. In that way, Richard Rider was entirely insignificant for he had none of these. I did not know Richard Rider in his youth, but when I met him he told me he left Earth because he had no place there. Today, we begin our study of Richard Rider, the greatest and last Nova Prime who, until he gave his life to save the universe, set himself apart from all those who came before him and have come and gone since because of two things: a willingness to fly headlong into danger and deep and righteous anger that fueled him.”
At this point, we cut to Rich watching the destruction of New York in 2012 (detailed in Part 2) and get some other flashbacks to his youth. It was always key to Rich’s personality in the comics, and it will be here, that he never felt he was good enough, so we need to see that. We also need to give Rich a little bit of an edge physically for what’s coming (it’s so weird to right this out in parts knowing you guys don’t know what I mean) and I wanted to ground him in the types of things I think a typical kid his age who felt angry and underappreciated might do so I settled on having him take up a hobby that I see a lot of boys his age show interest in: mixed martial arts. Rich will need to be able to both take a punch and kick some ass down the road (I’ve always thought he has a little Rocky Balboa in him that way). We’ll then get to the Zorr origin also described in Part 2 and to the the snap.
Right here is where Part 4 would be really nice, but here’s what you need to know as it relates to Recorder 451: once Rich gets into space, his first mission with the Nova Corps, which has been rebuilding its ranks on Xandar since the 2018 attack by Thanos, will take him across the galaxy on a ship with a team that includes the first Rigellian to ever join the Nova Corps: Tana Nile. Many of you know this should be Irani Rael, but James Gunn used her up already and we’re unlikely to find a good use for Tana in the MCU so here we are. As the first Rigellian in the Corps, Nile is assigned a Recorder, 451, to observe and record her historical missions. And now you know how 451 and Rich come to know one another and how their lives become intertwined until the end.
“In this way, Nova Prime Rider preserved the Worldmind and prevented a wave of terror from spreading across the galaxy. Of course, as was seemingly always the case in the short 5 years Richard Rider served the Nova Corps, another, greater threat loomed right around the corner.”
“The Annihilation Wave?”
“No, Corpsman Maats. The Annihilation Wave, unknown to us at time, had only begun its work in the Negative Zone. What came next was, more terrifying, in a way, than the Wave because the Wave did not think, it only acted. The Universal Church of Truth, however, well that was an entirely different matter altogether.”
In considering what it would take to set Marvel Studios Nova film apart from its prior Cosmic offerings and prepare Richard Rider to ascend as the studios greatest Cosmic hero, I’ve found myself challenged over the past several days. The character of Richard Rider isn’t hard to crack, but there’s more to a film than its lead. Instead of trying to write up a script (I’m no script writer), I’m instead going to try to roll out a series of pieces explaining how I would chose to tackle some of these challenges I’ve encountered while imagining the Nova film.
The biggest stumbling block is elevating the Nova Corps from James Gunn’s mall cops to the high powered, intergalactic police force fans know and love. The answer lies (as I’m sure so many of you have considered as well) in the Power Stone. The conclusion of 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy saw the Nova Corps entrusted with the purple stone following Ronan’s defeat on Xandar. As far as we know, the Nova Corps had no powers and the Worldmind didn’t exist. For those of you you unfamiliar with the Worldmind, it is a sentient supercomputer that holds the entirety of Xandar’s history inside itself and provides the Nova Corps with a connection to the Nova Force. With no Worldmind and no Nova Force, there’s also no reason to make a Nova film, so how can we get there?
The answer, an answer that ironically enough will also provide a window to introduce Richard’s younger brother Robbie to the MCU, lies in quantum computing (do you guys put the word quantum in front of everything?). I’ll leave the fine details to the experts, but as it stands now, we Earthers are still in the early days of using quantum technology and while some don’t believe efficient quantum computers can ever be built, it hasn’t stopped people from trying. One of the biggest challenges facing those chasing the prize is the amount of energy used in the process. It’s not that the actual process takes more energy than traditional computers, it’s that it takes an incredible amount of power to cool the device. If you’re talking about building something on the scale of the Xandarian Worldmind, you’d need an almost endless amount of power, the kind that might come from the purple Power Stone.
The Xandarians are already an advanced culture, so finding a way to transfer and store energy from the Power Stone would be a relatively simple task for them; therefore, in time between the end of Guardians of the Galaxy and the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos takes the stone from them, we’ll understand that they have found a way to transfer and store the energy, engineer the Worldmind and, given its advanced AI and the fact that it’s a collective of all the greatest minds (we’ll say that the Xandarians were forward thinking and had already thought to store the consciousnesses of their brightest and best as they attempted to find a way to build something along the lines of the Supreme Intelligence used by their enemy, the Kree) it has also found a way to become self-sustaining meaning (stupid plot hole fix) it doesn’t need the Power Stone to fuel is anymore. The Worldmind is a massive undertaking and it has advanced the civilization (maybe it would be akin to a Type II on the Kardashev Scale). Now that it has an essentially unlimited amount of energy, the Worldmind makes the move to militarize the Nova Corps.
In this scenario, as in the comics, the helmets of the Nova Corps the key. In the MCU, the helmets work as a conduit by actually interfacing with the Corpsmens’ nervous system. We’ve heard about Elon Musk wanting to put chips in humans’ heads to speed up the process of accessing the internet; this is more like putting your head into a chip. The interface would allow each Corpsman to have immediate access to knowledge that the Worldmind has, appropriate to their own station, and also serve as their connection to the Nova Force (which will obviously be purple now). The key to this is is transmission via quantum entanglement meaning the entirety of the Nova Corps, while wearing their helmets, become a quantum system. This is heavy science and, since it’s not yet been mastered on Earth, I suppose it’s science fiction. It’s complicated but it’s key to the audiences understanding of how Rider can do what he does and the connectivity of one Corpsmen to another will factor into things down the line, so the audience needs to understand it. Enter Robbie Rider.
Robbie Rider is the younger brother of Richard and, you guessed it, a genius. In the comics, Robbie was developing software and making money on it at a young age, so it’s no (quantum) leap here to have him on the leading edge of quantum computing on Earth in the MCU. The details of this will come in a future piece, but here is what you need to know about Richard and Robbie. Richard struggles with school and while threatened by his intelligence, he loves him fiercely and has defended him from school bullies all his life. My idea for this film will see a pretty major paradigm shift for Richard. He will become Nova just moments before the snap meaning we’ll see him in the helmet just long enough for him to make a connection to the Worldmind before turning to dust. During the 5 years he’s gone, Robbie continues on in school and becomes one of MIT’s youngest and brightest students thanks to his work in the field of quantum computing. When Richard comes back, it will be Robbie that helps him crack the mystery of his helmet and surmises that somewhere there must be a massive quantum processor on the other end, sending Richard into space and setting up Robbie for some adventures of his own down the road (who knows, maybe he’ll intercept the Datasong or something).
Three problems up, three problems down. Of course solving those problems leads to further complications, questions and confusions and you still don’t know how the movie starts, but for now we’ve retconned James Gunn’s mall cops, created the Worldmind, explained the origins of the Nova Force and given the audience the expository device it needs!
I’m delighted to bring some positive Disney Plus/Marvel news to you all today, I’ve heard through a trusted source that WandaVision has finished filming after all and possibly VFX on the series is done as well. All that’s left is the editing (barring any reshoots, of course). Previous information was that there was still a bit of filming left, signs indicating that it had to do with references and changes to TheFalcon and the Winter Soldier pandemic storyline. But it sounds like it will be straightened out in editing, at least in WandaVision’s case.
What does this mean for when we might see the Scarlet Witch and her beloved Vision on our TV screen? Well, we may need to keep our feet on the ground a bit here, as it seems unlikely they’d air the show very far ahead of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which is currently scheduled for release on March 25, 2022. There is also the matter of finishing up TheFalcon and The Winter Soldier’s filming, 3 weeks at least, before WandaVision airs. The shows were originally scheduled in a certain order for a reason, and if WandaVision has things that spoil TheFalcon and The Winter Soldier, even without the reference to the pandemic story line in it anymore, it is unlikely that WandaVision would be moved ahead of it unless there are major changes and reshoots to that show.
In other tentatively positive news, it was reported today via The Hollywood Reporter that the Czech Republic will now allow productions to resume filming there. The testing, guidelines and sanitation standards that need to be followed in order for everyone to be safe, however, would certainly complicate The Falcon and The Winter Soldier returning to finish up. No word yet on when they may.
The question that has been nagging at me pretty much since it was announced that Helmut Zemo would be a significant presence in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series is: Will we see or hear from Wakanda in the series? How could they possibly have Zemo on the loose and not involve or at least hear from Wakanda? He killed their king after all. I believe I have found evidence for an answer to this very question. Since nothing is officially confirmed here, please feel free to treat this as a “connecting imaginary dots” type speculation post, but based on quite a bit of evidence that I’ve gathered below.
As I’ve pointed out, Zemo killed Wakanda’s King T’Chaka during the events of Captain America: Civil War, and it was clear in Black Panther that not everyone there agreed with T’Challa’s decision to not make Zemo face justice in Wakanda. So it really makes no sense for Wakanda not to be involved with recapturing Zemo should he escape, and of course we also have a bond formed between Bucky and Wakanda for helping to save his life from the Winter Soldier programming. Surely Shuri would want to check on her patient, right? It only makes sense that someone from Wakanda should appear in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, even if briefly.
As for my other supporting evidence Wakandans will show up in the series, I have spotted several stunt actresses now who seem to be involved with FaTWS, AND previously played stunt doubles for Wakandans in the films.
Stunt Actress #1: Sadiqua Bynum is listed in IMDb to appear as a stunt person in episode 1 of FaTWS. She was previously a Dora Milaje in Black Panther. At first I thought perhaps she was stunt double for Adepero Oduye’s character, and that’s still entirely possible. But this timing would also line up perfectly for when Zemo is seen in the beginning in prison.
Stunt actress #2: Jenel Stevens on her Instagram was definitely with the FaTWS stunt team in Prague while the series was briefly filming there and enjoying some sightseeing with her stunt family. She previously was a stunt double for Okoye in Avengers: Endgame and a Dora Milaje in Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther. It’s unclear what episode they were working on there, but Daniel Bruhl recently confirmed in a German interview on Instagram that he was in Prague filming briefly before he had to leave. Perhaps Jenel is there doing stunts for someone completely separate from Wakanda, but I do have to wonder.
Stunt Actress #3: Janeshia Adams-Ginyard. This one is not listed in IMDb for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier yet, but other evidence within her Instagram shows her filming some significant stunt work in Georgia at the end of November/early December. Coincidentally, the same time period Daniel arrived and immediately started filming German prison scenes and a probable Zemo escape in the show. Other evidence she is involved with FaTWS and may be playing a Dora Milaje is some video on her Instagram of her performing a fun dance at the same location that Aaron Toney and other FaTWS stunt people have been rehearsing AND another interesting video at the same location during that time of her practicing her staff twirling. Check it out, especially the tags.
On top of that, this stunt actress had to remove her lovely purple hair and go around with a beanie most of the time while she was there! Sounds kind of like a Dora Milaje doesn’t it? Well she also played Okoye’s stunt double & Dora Milaje in Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame!
So, we now have at least two stunt actresses who have previously played Dora Milaje or Okoye, probably 3, definitely involved with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. It is certainly possible they are doing stunts for other characters (for Adepero Oduye’s character, for instance). I definitely can’t rule that out, but that all together with a clear need to hear from Wakanda in this series in regards to Zemo, and Bucky to a lesser degree, it seems a pretty good bet to make that Dora Milaje if not Okoye herself is appearing in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier!
In anticipation of the continued spread of COVID-19, Marvel Studios has informed crew members via email that their current 4-week hiatus has been extended indefinitely. A copy of the email was shared with me and while I was asked not to share it in its entirety, I am able to share a few key points:
All active Disney Plus productions, which include The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, WandaVision and Loki, are now delayed indefinitely with crew members being informed they “no longer believe a 4-week suspension is realistic” and that they will restart production “when the global health environment allows.” It’s worth noting that these are the only productions detailed in the email which means that there are no crew members currently working on other projects.
Crew members were notified that, as of April 3rd, they will no longer be employed on their particular project.
It is assumed that this indefinite delay is also in effect for all films in production as well, meaning Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings will be further delayed as well. Its impact on the production timeline of Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man 3 and Thor: Love and Thunder is unknown at this point.
Given the uncertainty around the spread of the virus, speculation as to the duration of the extension is foolhardy; however, it is clear that, contrary to popular opinion, work on WandaVision has not yet been completed. Stay tuned to Murphy’s Multiverse for updates on this developing situation.
During the Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23 2024, Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox confirmed that a second season of the series was set to start production before the end of 2024.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again kicked off in late February in New York City. On March 1st, Matthew Lillard was confirmed to join the cast and was later revealed to be portraying an international power player named Mister Charles.
Though production on the series is currently delayed, we’ve still got an interesting piece of news. IMDB shows (and for those that doubt it, I can confirm its accuracy) that the Minutemen, essentially the police force of the TVA, will have a presence in Loki with Marvel Studios stunt guru Chris Brewster portraying one of them!
First appearing in Fantastic Four #352, the Minutemen are an armored corps of robots, clones and cyborgs used by the TVA to police the Timestream. Tasked with securing TVA headquarters and apprehending delinquents who are messing with timelines, the Minutemen have, on occasion, led by Justice Peace. For the purposes of Loki, you might be able to think of them as red shirts on an episode of Star Trek. As it stand now, Brewster will be joined by Isabelle Fretheim as Minutemen in Episode 2 of the series.
Stay tuned to Murphy’s Multiverse for further coverage of Loki!
