1. Disney+ Removes Two Marvel Shows From 2022 Schedule
A new post on the Marvel Japan website suggests Marvel Studios has removed an animated series and a live-action series from its 2022 lineup.
An update posted on the Marvel Japan website suggests Marvel Studios has removed two Disney+ series from its planned 2022 lineup.
A new poster and list shared by Marvel Japan notably don't include the previously-announced second season of the animated series What If...? and the highly anticipated live-action Secret Invasion series, according to The Direct.
Fans will recall that Season 1 of What If...? premiered in August 2021 and ran for nine episodes on Disney+. Set after the introduction of the multiverse in Loki, the animated series explores alternate timelines within the multiverse and imagines how major moments within the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have occurred differently, as observed by The Watcher. Season 1 wrapped up with the formation of the Guardians of the Multiverse, with Season 2 expected to explore more strange worlds and feature a handful of new heroes.
Secret Invasion was first announced as a development property in 2020, when Disney and Marvel Studios confirmed that Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn would be reprising their roles as Nick Fury and the Skrull Talos, respectively, following their first meeting in 2019's Captain Marvel. It was later confirmed that Game of Thrones alum Emilia Clarke was joining the series in an undisclosed role and that Cobie Smulders will reprise her role as Maria Hill in the series.
Clarke first commented on joining the MCU in July 2021, saying at the time she was terrified to even talk about the project. "It's called Secret Invasion... but I'm already scared," the actor revealed. "The first people I spoke to from Marvel were their security team, and I am convinced there is a man outside my house. There's been a car parked there for a long time and, I swear to God, it's undercover."
Rumors about the series being removed from the schedule also came just days after new photos from the Secret Invasion set in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, were posted online. The leaked images showed a variety of props set up around Piece Hall, including a selection of signs featuring Russian letters that read, "National Unity Day."
While neither Marvel nor Disney+ have yet to comment on the rumors, fans still have a lot to look forward to this year. In addition to the upcoming Disney+ premiere of Moon Knight on March 30, Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness is set to hit theaters on May 6 and Thor: Love and Thunder will bow on July 8. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is also scheduled to premiere on Nov. 11, while the premiere dates for the She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel and I Am Groot are also expected to hit Disney+ later this year.
2.Why Moon Knight and Spider-Man as Marvel's Most Vulnerable Superheroes Is So Refreshing
Even superheroes need to talk to someone sometimes. Ben Reilly and Marc Spector, the Amazing Spider-Man and Moon Knight, have battled clones, supervillains, and gods. In their most recent issues, however, they have undergone one of the most fearful acts that anyone can undertake: an honest conversation with a therapist.
In spite of a deep history of betrayal and conditions which indicate that trust and reliance are only liabilities, these two heroes began trusting their therapists to help them. Of course, with this trust comes consequences.
Superheroes often keep their identities secret not for their own safety, but to keep those around them safe. In the most recent issues of both Moon Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man, the title characters’ therapists were attacked in some way. These attacks infringe upon the heroes and feel more of a betrayal, not only because of the message that their safety holds for readers, but also how their presence seems to be bringing the Marvel heroes to a better place.
In The Amazing Spider-Man #86, by Zeb Wells and Michael Dowling, Ben Reilly’s therapist assured him of his ability to speak with her confidentially, and the Beyond Corporation’s betrayal was a shock and ignited her rage. She truly wants to help him. This is also notable in Moon Knight #6-7, by Jed Mackay, Alessandro Cappuccio and Federico Sabbatini, as Marc Spector’s therapist is a person he trusts to share his life story with, as well as his regrets about his loss of faith. When she cuts through his layers of defense, she helps him to learn more about himself and process his trauma.
Spector’s previous experience with therapists, such as in Moon Knight #1-6 from 2016, by Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood, was less positive. Here, a therapist was not only an antagonist but one of the central threats. As such, these earlier texts suggested therapists were duplicitous and deceitful, but the more recent portrayals as trustworthy people -- at least ostensibly -- shakes up those relationships in an interesting way.
These super-therapists also serve a role beyond allowing the reader to realize the vulnerability of the characters and explore their mental health. Yes, Marc Spector has Dissociative Identity Disorder and maims or kills the occasional person, but his crisis of faith takes him down from being a divine avatar who broke the Avengers. It places him instead in front of the reader as a man in all his flawed mortality. Ben Reilly is suspicious and feels manipulated by those around him, which is taking its toll on his relationships -- something else that's relatable to anyone who lives with anxiety.
These could have been parsed out eventually, but speaking with a therapist allows for the characters to begin processing the developments with the reader, allowing for the heroes to make true progress and the reader to feel invested in the journey. The buy-in on the part of the reader and the change in portrayal and perception combine to make these two stories revolutionary toward therapists in comic books... unless, of course, a radical swerve should happen and undermine the story. As ever, anything is possible in superhero comics, but for now, this journey has been a refreshing take for two of the MCU's superhero pillars.

3.The MCU's Strongest Metal Is NOT Adamantium OR Vibranium - Which is Crucial
Dargonite might be stronger than Adamantium AND Vibranium. If that's the case, it changes everything about the MCU.
For years, there's been a debate within the Marvel fandom about which unbreakable metal is stronger, Adamantium or Vibranium. Ultimately, in the case of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this argument is absolutely pointless because, after all, there's already a metal that exists in the films and comics that's mightier than both: Dargonite.
If you've never heard of Dargonite, you're not alone. This rarely mentioned metal is less widely used than its two more popular cousins, but it has already proved in the mainstream comics to be stronger than Adamantium -- and it may have already made its presence felt in the MCU.
Dargonite is a metal alloy from the future, named after Dargo Ktor, the Thor of Earth-8710, a possible version of Earth-616's 26th Century. In the comics, Dargonite was demonstrated to be stronger than Adamantium when Major Vance Astro's containment suit -- made from Adamantium -- was pierced by a sniper shot comprised of the alloy.
But while Dargonite is able to pierce Adamantium, little else is known about it. Because it's named after the alternate-universe Thor, it's possible the alloy utilizes the same Uru metal used to forge Mjolnir and Stormbreaker -- the matter found at the core of a dying star. However, if that's the case, then it's still unclear what other ore is utilized. Debates still continue over whether Dargonite contains an Adamantium or Vibranium isotope, but, in either case, it would result in it becoming the only thing that can break otherwise-unbreakable metal.
It's possible that Dargonite has already appeared in the MCU. In Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Thanos and his Black Order pierce and obliterate Vibranium. The first instance of this is in Infinity War, when Corvus Glaive's weapon impales Vision's body. Although that may not initially seem like a big deal, it's important to consider that Ultron made Vision's body out of Vibranium.
Now, while Shuri's equipment, made from Vibranium, can also dismantle Vision's body, when she tries to remove the Mind Stone from his head, it doesn't have the same effect. Considering Vibranium is designed to absorb shock, Corvus' weapon should not have been able to pierce Vision's skin, let alone drive right through him. Likewise, while Thanos is able to pry the Mind Stone from Vision's head, he's also empowered by the other Infinity Stones, which means the laws of reality bent for him.
However, in Avengers: Endgame, Thanos, without any Infinity Stones fueling him, still splinters Captain America's Vibranium shield. That should be absolutely impossible -- unless Thanos's sword is forged from something like Dargonite. Of course, it would make sense for someone as well-traveled as the Mad Titan to have combined metals to create an unbeatable weapon.
If Dargonite is a metal that already exists in the MCU, it's possible a cosmic person could forge weaponry from it. With only Stormbreaker available, it's apparent that Mjolnir needs to be reforged so that Jane Foster has a weapon to wield in Thor: Love and Thunder. Sure, the hammer could be recreated using the shards of the old one, but by that logic, Thor and Jane would be better off making a more formidable weapon using Uru metal and Vibranium as an alloy.
However, the discovery of Dargonite opens up some scary possibilities. Given what Thanos was able to achieve with a weapon potentially made of the metal, if it were to end up in equally, or even more dangerous, hands, the Avengers may not stand a chance. Thus far, the heroes of the MCU have relied on Vibranium to get them through, but upcoming events could call for an upgrade.
4.MCU Theory: Asgard Survived a Celestial Emergence
Asgard still stands as one of the most unique locations to ever feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least before it fell to the ruin of Ragnarok. It's always been assumed that the disk-shaped structure is part of some advanced magic the Asgardians possess. However, a recent fan theory gives a convincing argument as to why it held its peculiar shape: Asgard survived a Celestial emergence.
During Eternals, Sersi is told her true purpose on Earth by the Celestial Arishem. A Celestial seed is planted within the planet, and once the human population grows large and advanced enough, a fully grown Celestial will emerge from Earth, destroying it in the process.
The Celestials claim to be an integral part of the universe, as they provide suns so galaxies can thrive with life. But given that an entire planet and all of its population must be destroyed to continue the cycle, most of the Eternals work to stop Tiamut's emergence from Earth.
Given the vastness of the universe and all the suns within it, it's safe to say that there have been many Celestials over time. This means a huge amount of planets and civilizations have met their end through emergence, and planets already seen in the MCU could be carrying more seeds. As a Reddit fan theory from user ParameciaAntic suggests, Asgard could very well have been one of these planets but its inhabitants found a way to survive.
Asgard is by far one of the most advanced civilizations in the MCU, proven by the planet's unnatural shape and structure floating in space. Yet this theory suggests that Asgard was once a normal spherical planet and only came to be flat after the emergence. But with the help of their powers and possibly an Infinity Stone, they were able to hold the destroyed planet together into a disk.
Celestials require a certain amount of growth from a population to emerge. This means that if Asgard had a Celestial inside, the Asgardians would've been fairly advanced when the time came. It's also known that at some point, Odin came into possession of the Space Stone before hiding it on Earth. With the stone's power to manipulate space, it would have been the perfect tool against an emerging Celestial.
As the Celestials keep themselves unknown, the emergence would have taken the Asgardians by surprise. But with the Space Stone, the right wielder could've been able to meld together the ruins of the world and form them into a liveable disk shape. With the Infinity Stones being the most powerful objects in the universe, holding a planet together should be a trivial task for one of them. And it also possibly could've been used against the Celestial, as the Eternal Sersi proved they can be killed.
What makes this theory even more intriguing is the Eternals' previous involvement in Asgardian affairs. During Eternals, when the group all talk around a table drinking alcohol, Gilgamesh mentions that Odin taught him the recipe after helping him fight the Frost Giants. This is a reference to when the Frost Giants battled the Asgardians in Norway in the opening of Thor, so it means Odin and the Eternals were well acquainted. And although it's unclear if the Asgardians knew about the Eternals' true purpose, it creates a tie between the two movies.
While there's nothing to suggest this MCU theory is real, it's definitely not too far a stretch. It does raise questions as to whether Asgard could have known about Earth's Celestial seed, plus the destruction of Asgard would have been such a big deal that it seems strange that it would go unmentioned. But with a planet shape like no other and the incredible power of the Asgardians, the theory is not out of the realm of possibility.
5.Eternals Theory: Ikaris Never Revealed His True Power
In Eternals, Ikaris is considered one of the most physically powerful members of the team. With his flight, strength and laser vision, there's not much that stands between him and victory. Toward the end of the film, he's forced to go against those he cares about most to uphold his beliefs. Although his power is evident, and his will to kill seems present, there's also the realization that he's likely still holding back his true power while facing the Eternals.
In the film, Ikaris reveals that he still believes in Arishem's plan to let Earth die for a Celestial to be born. He believes so much that he kills Ajak and betrays his team. He even tries to kill Makkari, injuring Kingo in the process, but when it comes time to kill the person he loves, he realizes he can't do it, let alone live with himself for his actions. Though it seems like a sudden realization at the end, the final fight shows how he's losing his struggle between duty and family.
At first, Ikaris is decidedly merciless against the Eternals. This is first seen when he nearly kills Druig by using his laser vision to bury him into the ground. However, prior to this, he also barely uses his full strength and speed against Thena, even though she is far more threatening in combat. It becomes clear that if he has the chance to stall killing them, he will, but if a definite threat to the Emergence occurs, like the uni-mind, he will strike hard and fast, as he did to Druig.
This is further proven when Makkari fights him, and she gets in multiple hits before he can react. That said, the moment Ikaris is fed up with the battle, he quickly subdues her with his laser vision. It appears as though he feels he deserves to be punished for his actions but will also continue to stall to get what he wants. There's also the moment that he breaks free of Phastos' binding. He had a perfect opportunity to kill the Eternal, but he instead flies to Sersi to try and stop her before his guilt gets the best of him.
The biggest factor that gives more credence to the theory also lies in his laser vision. On numerous occasions, Ikaris' beams appear to burn through any who get hit by them. However, when he hits Makkari and Druig, they survive. Although these can be explained by having armor that can withstand his attacks, it doesn't explain why he didn't just go to the head to kill them. Logically, it makes more sense when seeing the fight as though Ikaris is only trying to delay them as he can't bear killing someone else he loves.
Ikaris is a wildly complex character whose inner conflict directly affects actions. Throughout the final fight, Ikaris knew exactly what he was doing. He may have agreed with his family in his heart, but centuries of knowing his duty and his beliefs kept him from making the right choice. Yet even after resigning to letting the Earth die, he still holds back his true power to keep the ones he loves safe.
