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.

Well, just to clarify, there are a lot of "ethnicities" within Judaism, so there is no reason why Marc couldn't be an American Jew of Egyptian ancestry in the show.
But I'd be surprised if he was any kind of Jew in the show.
Like my guess (without evidence, except the chosen director) is that Jewishness might be viewed as part and parcel of the Mighty Whitey aspects of the character, coupled with it being "controversial" because of Israel.

All the casting calls said they were looking for Jewish actors for Marc, it's fair to say they will portray him as Jewish in the series. Oscar Isaac himself is of Jewish descent, albeit he said he was raised in a catholic household (he is Jewish from his father's side and catholic from his mother's).
Wasn't Isaac announced to be playing Solid Snake in that Metal Gear Solid movie?
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my TumblrNah I think Dracula will be in Blade film. Assuming they don't do Deacon frost again as Blade's Rogues Gallery isn't super big....
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Uh-oh again.
Wright's Twitter just got nuked into oblivion.
But not surprising in light of the BS she just pulled...
That entire situation with Letitia Wright and BP 2 honestly just makes me sad.

Well he was raised in a Jewish household but it's kind of a thing that he rejected that.
And remember, the Jewish ethnicity (as opposed to the faith of Judaism) is traditionally matrilineal.
