(I've said this elsewhere, but it's along the same lines here.)

I like to think that by showcasing individual characters from each franchise, not just from the iconic ones that they've just acquired, but also a "reviled" one like Inhumans; Feige & co. are alleviating any concerns about how Marvel Studios might handle those properties in the future.

Essentially by showing it's all about execution, while also satisfying any popular requested reprisals and fan-castings for the moment, that may or may not happen in the future when it's done properly.

This was the most appropriate place to bring it up, since like it says above, despite the name this is the default to discuss Marvel on network TV. And I do still remember back when it was new, 'Inhumans' being talked about here.

It has been enough time to bring it up here...

Anson got his due. (with a very fitting emoji if you ask me)

Ditto for WB/DC, when they tried kickstarting their shared universe with 'Green Lantern' in 2011 (since Nolan wouldn't let them do it with his 'Dark Knight' trilogy, and before abandoning it for 'Man of Steel'). Not just with it being relatively obscure, like 'Iron Man', but also parallels like military ties and suit-based but non-powered human character. (Enough to where Marvel & DC combined the two for their Amalgam Comics.)

Obvious difference being, back then most of said movies were more likely meant to be one-offs made to capitalize on 'Iron Man's success. While what Sony is doing is 10+(!) years later, where a lot has changed since then. Not just for supehero comic book movies, but Hollywood film making in general, and public perception.

For 'Nightwatch', aka poor man's Spawn (which is really saying something), hasn't had anything new about it since 2018, with Spike Lee no longer attached. If Todd McFarlane's upcoming reboot of 'Spawn' starts filming in the future, watch Sony act accordingly.

One funny difference between how Marvel Studios and Sony does it with (at the time) obscure characters, is when a newbie looks them up. For Shang-Chi, they'll find a whole new world and legacy to dive into. For El Muerto, they'll find a character who has barely a dent in comic history, with a few paragraphs of description about them.

Technically one acting role, which is Sony's upcoming 'Bullet Train' (which was one of the movies showcased at Cinemacon, along with 'Across the Spider-Verse'). I did read that Sony decided to give him a Marvel role, after being impressed by his performance in it. Even if it's a supporting role, and doesn't necessarily prove leading man material.

While unlikely, I wouldn't be surprised if it releases like the Hulu show 'Helstrom', or even the movie 'Big Hero 6', where all Marvel branding is removed upon release. Although that would beg the question, as to why not just do the same type of character, but as an original movie. Is El Muerto really that iconic to where one couldn't do something similar?

Without giving away too much, but to at least give an idea of what from the trailer was apparently cut from the film: It's equivalent to the "We live in a society"-line from the trailers for the Snyder-cut of 'Justice League', that was also left out (coincidentally, a line said by Jared Leto as the Joker).

Which just goes to show the slimy tactics Sony is willing to pull in order to get butts into seats, even if it doesn't actually result in anything (like the post-credit scene of 'Let There Be Carnage' leading into 'No Way Home').

That's what I was thinking, and would prefer just to keep the main version clean and not tainted by Sony. Although it would be a pretty big leap in assumption to do that, especially since we don't know if there are any more plans with that character in the mainline Spider-Man movies or not.

Since it's only tangentially related to the MCU (Earth-199999), we can bring it up but avoid delving too deep into it all. But this answer from the director will hopefully clear things up. But the general premise of said post-credit scenes are still baffling and makes no sense.

Along with false advertising, by selling points in the trailers not be in the theatrical cut of the movie.

Thanks, Sony! You're really off to having a good track record so far, by doing things on your own without Feige & co.'s involvement, by the looks of it...

I can't wait to see what this headache will mean for us wiki editors.

From what I've read, reporting from what the PDF says, it's for Disney+, hence why I shared it here.

Other ideas of where he might show up, is 'Echo' and 'She-Hulk'.

And before people jump to conclusions about what it might mean for the OG Netflix show, it's too early to tell if by "reboot", it's referring to a soft or hard one. I personally wouldn't mind either.

Although even Charlie Cox, in a recent interview, says he doesn't think it'll pick-up from where season 3 left off.

So in the US, the Marvel shows that were on Netflix originally, is now on Disney+.

Outside, at least where I live, 'AoS' is the only one in that group also available for me, (although it has been ever since the service was made available).

I'm not currently in the mood or have the time to rewatch anything at the moment. But if I was, there currently is no way for me to watch any of the originally Netflix ones.

Guess it'll just be a matter of time. Although it makes me wonder if the license differs between regions on Disney's end or not. Not so much for Netflix, since they've already removed said shows from their service worldwide.
