MCU Planned on Uniting Spider-Man 2099 and Kang Variant Before Plans Got Derailed

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Superior success of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” amidst the disappointing superhero films of 2023.
– Introduction of Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Man 2099 as a compelling new figure on the big screen.
– Reports of MCU’s attempts to integrate Spider-Man 2099 into its narrative.
– Major roadblock due to actor Jonathan Majors’ conviction, placing future of Kang’s character in uncertainty.
– Attention given by Spider-Verse creators to the character design of Spider-Man 2099.

‘Across the Spider-Verse’ Introduces Beloved New Character

Did you have a chance to catch the superhero films in 2023? If so, you probably noticed that it wasn’t the best year for these action-packed flicks. But, there were a couple of exceptions. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park.

Among the variety of Spider-Man versions introduced, Miguel O’Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099, was a standout. Hit it off with fans? Oh, he sure did! Here was a character fans found as menacing as he was emotive.

The MCU-Sony Talks That Almost Happened

It was said that the MCU echelons wanted to harness this new appeal. Whispers in the grapevine reported that MCU was in talks with Sony to include Spider-Man 2099 in their ongoing narrative.

The plan? Pair him up with none other than Jonathan Majors’ Kang. A spicy team-up in the multiverse saga, right? Unfortunately, the plan fizzled out. The reason? Sony felt the venture was a little bit too risky to pull off. It would’ve given Kang increased power, while Miguel could’ve brought about order and stability in the multiverse.

The Future of Kang is Now Uncertain

Now, here’s where the road gets a little rocky. With Majors’ conviction for assault and harassment looming, the future of Kang is stuck in a murky limbo. Once posited to be on par with Thanos, the future of the character now appears quite unsure.

Spider-Man 2099: A Thirst Trap from the Get-go

Let’s move on to a rather interesting tidbit. Miguel’s appeal didn’t stop at his narrative power. Any Spider-Verse fans out there would’ve noticed that his looks, particularly his backside, weren’t overlooked. Call it a leveling of the field or just a design decision – the creators poured effort into making Spider-Man 2099 as appealing as possible from day one. Interestingly, it was director Justin K. Thompson himself who was behind Miguel’s ‘gorgeous behind’, insisting from the start that it should be eye-catching.

Looking Forward to the Next Chapter

So, which characters can we expect to see in the upcoming segments of the superhero world? After Jonathan Majors’ downfall, Kang’s return in the MCU might be off for a while. But rest assured, Oscar Isaac’s Miguel is bound to make his appearance once again in the eagerly awaited threequel.

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is now streaming on Netflix. Watch it and tell us what do you think about the newly introduced Spider-Man 2099 and how he might’ve added a different dimension to the Kang saga.

So, grab your popcorn and take this thrilling superhero journey!

Happy Streaming!
