So Shang-Chi is also mentioned? Maybe we get a small reference to their connection or maybe even more? Copium here
Vumi_2026-01-17 23:27
Any Shang-Chi mention is a win c:
CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:08
DODC may or may not know of Shang-Chi himself or of Trevor's connection to him, but since Trevor is a major character in this show, there will certainly be references to his past, which includes his abduction by the Ten Rings.
Substantial-Use9192026-01-17 21:27
So the DODC knows that Shang-Chi exists… interesting
BKWhitty2026-01-17 21:39
He got dragged in with Wong, Bruce and Carol. It's not too far a stretch to assume he's joined with Sam's Avengers. It's make sense DODC would know about him in that case.
EfficaciousJoculator2026-01-19 08:38
There was also the live streamed public fight on that San Francisco bus.
They might not know how powered up he is now with the rings, but he did demonstrate enough there to get on someone's radar. From there, all they needed was to put a name to the face.
fitzingout2026-01-17 21:39
Well they know san fransisco bus boy
And prolly macaw shirtless fighter
VaishakhD2026-01-17 21:42
well, the do a flip guy filmed and streamed everything.
AshlarKorith2026-01-17 23:46
Also provided live commentary, having taken a bit of martial arts as a youth.
jhsounds2026-01-18 02:20
The livestream was coveted af
geek_of_nature2026-01-18 10:04
Side note, I love how he had such a small role there, and has now worked his way up to having a main role in Severance.
VaishakhD2026-01-18 17:18
He’s in fallout too
fitzingout2026-01-18 17:30
And we need these chars even Luis from antman
Foreign_Education_882026-01-17 21:39
Well he’s not a very secretive guy, there was the whole bus thing on YT, he’s met Wong, Captain Marvel, and Hulk, and I imagine he was one of the first people Sam went to for his Avengers team. Having that many connections to other heroes probably puts him high on their POI list
SeriousButton62632026-01-17 22:13
In fairness I don’t think the marketing department gets to decide canon
decitronal2026-01-18 03:12
They don't, but it's also not unusual for marketing material to be directly informed by the writers and whoever else is in charge of the show bible
C0wb0y_Beb0p2026-01-18 01:56
I'm more impressed that they know "Morris" exists...🤣😂🤣😂
Joshdabozz2026-01-17 21:30
There’s also posters for Von Kovak and Simon’s Agent (Janelle Jackson is his agents name)
My first thought when I saw Simon’s Agent was
“Wait…
Simon’s Agent??? Does that mean she replaces Ed Harris (who was supposed to play Simon’s agent???)
Or is Neal Saroyan not going to be Simon’s agent and is someone else’s agent in the show??”
AncientFruit27452026-01-17 21:33
Honestly not sure ed Harris is in this show. There was reporting he was casted as Neal but then a while back I saw that he wasn’t actually in the show anymore but there no confirmation either way. He’s not acknowledged in any of the marketing and he’s not on the casting lists on their main site but neither is Demetrius grosse who was in one of the trailers so we know he’s there
Joshdabozz2026-01-17 21:36
I think it’s strange if they dropped Ed Harris cause even the trades said he’s in the show
CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:09
The trades also, accurately, said John Malkovich was cast in First Steps, but then his scenes were cut.
Joshdabozz2026-01-18 19:21
I mean he was in a version of the film and was in the trailer, but he was then cut as you said
I get your point tho
JyconX2026-01-17 22:52
Ever since X Mayo's character Janelle Jackson appeared in trailers and seemed to act like she was Simon's agent or something, it felt pretty obvious she had replaced Harris' character.
SofiaTrixieFox12026-01-18 07:59
Demetrius is still in the show but he probably won't be the Grim Reaper like in the comics but we'll see
These_Wish_51012026-01-17 21:38
Damage control are such a cringe SHIELD wannabe..
JyconX2026-01-17 22:23
They're totally biased against superhumans in general.
InnocentTailor2026-01-17 22:37
Reminds me of SHIELD under Maria Hill in the comics - hardasses overall.
monarch_j2026-01-17 22:51
It's almost like they may be building towards super power individuals being persecuted. Maybe specific ones with like, a special DNA trait or something.
Sylar_Lives2026-01-18 02:15
I agree. I’m just waiting for a DDC agent named Bolivar Trask to make an appearance.
JyconX2026-01-18 05:04
But wasn't Trask a leader of his own company (Trask Industries) in most media, rather than a goverment official?
VisualBluejay-2026-01-18 05:51
There’s quite a few examples of Trask working for other organizations or people too. Stucker’s kids, SHIELD, Sebastian Shaw, various Senators, etc.
These_Wish_51012026-01-18 10:08
Dangerous super power is Dangerous super power...X-gene or not...comic logic may not translate too well in live action..
monarch_j2026-01-18 20:09
I feel they can still lead into it being mostly mutants targeted.
Make it so that the public opinion is declining even more past Civil War for super heroes in general.
Once the X-Gene is discovered and powers are no longer just gods, aliens, and the select few and now are wide spread, that can quickly lead to anyone with an X-Gene to be treated differently, regulated...etc. They become the lowest common denominator and something actually definable.
I'd make the conflict begin by the government wanting to regulate people before their X-Gene is even activated, that would lead to massive tension and political/ethical issues.
These_Wish_51012026-01-18 10:10
They just seem to show up randomly in the MCU...when its convenient...too much like a plot device...no consistency like Shield was..
Rustyhobo042026-01-17 21:42
I just realized this, but wouldn't Trevor still be wanted? Like, shouldn't he be in hiding?
AncientFruit27452026-01-17 21:57
If you want an answer to this watch some of the newest promotional teasers
Sylar_Lives2026-01-18 02:13
It’s shown through ads that this very detail is a core plot element.
Mountain_Mountain_462026-01-17 22:22
These remind me of the S.H.I.E.L.D files in the Marvel Universe toys
Sir_Gwan2026-01-17 22:28
Former? Where the fuck is Morris?
EducatedMaleMouse2026-01-17 22:46
Didn't he stay in Ta Lo? Shang Chi was such a long time ago 😮💨
SweetNiaaa2026-01-17 23:48
is this gonna be trash or pass?
GreasyStool882026-01-18 00:18
Pass. I’ll take more Trevor. But rest of the concept doesn’t look great or seem like it will hit. (Leftovers from when everything got approved)
And since Brave New World’s trailer looked awesome and the movie was mid, I don’t hold much stock in what they tease us with anymore.
Praetor_60402026-01-18 02:00
Maybe you should wait until its out..?
CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:13
Both of those are bad options.
carson630002026-01-18 00:00
Disappointed that the Slattery file doesn’t say “Profession: Act-tor”
KLR972026-01-18 00:01
[All I know is if they don’t put this obscure Right Said Fred song somewhere in the show, then they’re a bunch of cowards.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdLDFRnW76E)
mindwire2026-01-18 05:09
Almost as iconic as Tatiana Maslany's She-Hulk singing "It's Not Easy Being Green"
Febrifuge2026-01-18 00:58
I don't even care, I'm here for Academy Award(tm) winning actor Sir Ben Kingsley having a fuck-about with the MCU and apparently loving it
justfordis_play2026-01-18 01:02
Morris mentioned in the big 26, we're so back
MightyPainGaming2026-01-18 01:57
I fucking hate Trevor Slattery. I also hate IM3. He has had more appearances than more important MCU characters with their own movies.
mindwire2026-01-18 05:10
Kay.
MightyPainGaming2026-01-19 03:06
mindwire2026-01-19 04:39
Accurate!
Bendythenightfury2026-01-18 08:28
Crazy how these two posters are making more hype than them just standing about /s
Still a weird decision for marketing to even have those standing around poster
CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:12
You mean the poster with the Hollywood sign, which helps establish the setting & tone? Kinda like the Homecoming poster we all love that's just Spidey laying back with his headphones on in front of the Manhattan skyline?
Bendythenightfury2026-01-18 19:29
Huh didn't know that one existed. But no I'm talking about the collider preview where they're just standing
CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:34
Oh, yeah, those "first look" photos always bug me too. A lot of movies do that, & basically all it tells us is what the costumes are for that one scene.
N8CCRG2026-01-18 14:58
Glad to see the DODC returning as a threat.
Capital_Gate67182026-01-18 21:27
So Wenwu is unknown to the general public?
Bmourre19952026-01-18 23:54
They've done a really good job not hyping this show up at all
datphunkymunky2026-01-19 00:36
Morris "Former companion". sadface
MMFRESHSW22026-01-19 06:12
it looks like the writing suxx
GentlemansBumTease2026-01-21 02:58
Working actor in quotes is sending me lol
