Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Maybe it's not a twist so much as a logical course of action, IE 'Thanos has an all-powerful gauntlet so he kills everyone with it.'
The Protomen enhanced my life.So, A thing happened.
John Boyega has evidently met with Marvel Studios about playing "a Marvel superhero," though he's unclear about whether anything actually came of it.
Not Blade, at any rate. Too much respect for Wesley Snipes.

The only character who immediately came to mind was Patriot, who's probably too young for him.
...Maybe a Race Lift?

Oh God! Natural light!John's been kind of branding himself as a "hip young action lead or supporter" type, so I've been thinking along those lines.
With that in mind, I could see him playing Nova. Or something a little more out there, like Moon Knight.
Or Captain Britain (though probably without the name). Something I really would like to see get emphasized is heroes and superpowered characters active outside of America. Alpha Flight. Excalibur. Winter Guard. Etc.
Brother Voodoo's powers:
Superstrength, fire manipulation, immunity to fire when in a trance, mystical smokescreens, hypnosis to control animals, he can summon the spirit of his dead twin brother who can double his physical abilities or can possess others, and he can contact the Loa (divine beings worshipped in Real Life) and ask them for favors, such as teleporting himself and others elsewhere.
He has also occasionally been the Sorcerer Supreme, with all that comes with it.

And the fifth billboard
