“Right now, the most popular theory seems to be a Multiversal Variant of Nick Fury“

Where did this “theory” come from?

@MarkCassidy - “This cameo aside, the Academy Award-nominated actor has avoided superhero fare over the course of his career”. You mean that cameo AND the fact that he played Batman in the entire movie you mentioned earlier in the article? Lol.

@Shivermetimbers - I figured that went without saying... I was wrong.

@YouFlopped - You got me... I completely made up the fact that lots of people are saying "I bet he's playing Nick Fury" on social media, even though it makes zero difference to this article one way or the other.

He was going to be Nick Fury before SLJ but he turned it down because Fury choked somebody to death with their intestines in a comic book. Would be cool to see him take over the role going forward!!!

@BobbyDrake - id love to see people freak out that they "race swapped" nick fury, just so we can see their obvious hypocrisy.

@Shivermetimbers - I'd rather Pierce Brosnan. But that's just me. George Clooney plays himself in every movie.

Ok, seeing that image of Clooney in black and white scared me. I thought this was revealing he's dead.

But then again...it is about him joining the current times mcu...so that might be worse for him.

@Origame - That was my first thought as well!!! Why you gotta scare us like that Mark???

Completely left field - Uncle Ben in flashbacks in the next Spider-Man movie? 👀

Norman Osborn?.

Origame
Origame - 6/30/2024, 10:03 PM
@AC1 - eh. They ruined uncle Ben in the mcu. He can't at all be the kind of influential character he was in the comics. In fact, with Peter not even caring that the suit case uncle Ben owned was destroyed in far from home, I'm really not sure Peter even had much of a relationship with his uncle.
AC1
AC1 - 7/1/2024, 8:42 AM
@Origame - How can they ruin a character they've barely acknowledged? We've had a few hints at Ben's existence throughout Spidey's MCU appearances and how his death probably inspired Peter to be a superhero, such as Peter saying in Civil War "When you can do the things I can do, but you don't, and then bad things happen, they happen because of you" and saying to Ned in Homecoming he doesn't want to scare May after "everything she's been through"

As for the suitcase, it was never treated like it was something of great sentimental importance - if it was they would've made more of an effort to highlight that when we first see it, and even then, luggage goes missing or gets damaged all the time when travelling abroad so that'd be a risk they'd have been aware of (maybe not to the extent that occurred in the movie with it literally being blown up, but then again they live in a world where aliens have invaded multiple times and half the population died for 5 years) - plus, given what actually happened, their focus was probably more on the fact that everyone got home safely and the sense of relief they had over that rather than on any given physical possessions. Like maybe they were a bit upset about the case (if you really want to get into it then May kinda making light of it at the end when she picked Peter up at the airport could've been her way of downplaying it so he wouldn't feel guilty) but overall they'd just be glad to be reunited and that no one was hurt.

Of course May then had the "Great Power" line in NWH, but that hasn't always been attributed to Ben anyway, and we don't know if that's even the first time Peter's heard it in the MCU - it could be the case that that's something Ben used to say to Peter in the past as he was growing up and May saying it to him was a way of reminding Peter of that when he was close to giving up on trying to save the displaced villains. It wouldn't be too difficult of a thing to retcon through some clever use of flashbacks, and a movie with Peter in a place where he's alone and has no one would be an appropriate place to have him look back on some key moments of his life, his journey towards becoming Spider-Man, and the people he's lost along the way.

Visual gag maybe but I also thought it was could have been a convenient way to demonstrate that Ezra Miller’s Flash was no longer in the primary timeline and could be recast if they had continued the DCEU. Even though I will miss some of the actors in their roles, I am excited about the DCU moving forward.
