Let us begin with Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee’s creation, Sentry. For a while now, the prospect of seeing the character on the big screen has excited fans of the Marvel Universe. For many years, readers have adored this strong character in the comics because of his incredible power and skills.
Rumors suggest that SDCC may provide the first chance to see Sentry in action in Thunderbolts, giving us a taste of what’s to come in this thrilling addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Let us move on to the discussion of Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Fans have been anticipating the arrival of these cosmic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a very long time.
Galactus is expected to appear as the antagonist in Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four, according to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider. Javier Bardem is a strong contender for the role. In addition, Marvel is searching for a suitable actor to play the Silver Surfer, who will also be appearing in the movie.
There have reportedly been some changes made recently to add interest, such as with the upcoming Fantastic Four, which originally planned to feature a female Silver Surfer.
Also, Blade Casting Is Expected To Be Revealed At SDCC 2024
Rumors are swirling that SDCC will reveal the casting choices for Marvel’s iconic characters, giving us a glimpse of who will bring these larger-than-life beings to life on screen. Many fans will be looking forward to seeing Galactus and the Silver Surfer in action at SDCC.
Finally, we have Blade. The new Blade movie was first unveiled in July 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con (per Collider). President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige declared that Mahershala Ali, a multiple Oscar winner, would play the lead role.
But as the rumors suggest, SDCC might disclose Blade’s confirmed casting decision, providing us a sneak peek at the person playing this vamp-hunting hero. In addition to providing an update on filming, Marvel disclosed at their SDCC 2022 panel that Blade would hit theaters on November 3, 2023. Nevertheless, the movie was postponed nine months, to September 6, 2024, after the director left the project.
THR claimed that the date was rescheduled after Stacy Osei-Kuffour joined the team in order to give the studio more time to collaborate with her on the script. Since the movie is still undergoing script rewrites, the simultaneous WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes prevented all work on the project from being completed. Although the movie is still scheduled for release in 2024, we should not be shocked if there is yet another postponement.
At this point, the schedule could still change.
Overall, these latest SDCC rumors will undoubtedly rekindle your love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is obvious that Marvel has big plans for the future with the addition of new characters, the selection of iconic actors for key roles, and the promise of epic storylines to come.
