There’s a new face behind the claws and cowl, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe prepares to usher in its next era with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney’s latest batch of Marvel outings is rounding off in poignant style, with Ryan Coogler’s sequel to 2018’s movie waving goodbye to Phase 4 alongside Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa.
Although most of the Black Panther cast are back for more, the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020 means he’s unable to return for Wakanda Forever. It isn’t just events out of Coogler’s hands that mean characters aren’t suiting up for the war between the Wakandans and Talokan’s, because Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi is also sitting this one out.
Remembering back to Black Panther, W’Kabi was the Head of Security for the Border Tribe, boyfriend of Danai Gurira’s Okoye, and supposed best friend of T’Challa.

Once the Bruno of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Louis Leterrier's "The Incredible Hulk" has seen its reputation slowly rehabilitated in recent years. The 2008 film remains the first and only movie to feature Edward Norton as wayward scientist Bruce Banner, as well as The Other Guy's lone solo outing in the MCU under the terms of Marvel Studios' complicated deal with Universal for the Hulk screen rights. 14 years later, it remains the McU's lowest-grossing release at the box office, though it no longer holds the worst critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Progress!
Norton's creative clashes with Marvel Studios infamously led to them parting ways after "The Incredible Hulk," with Mark Ruffalo taking over the titular role starting in 2012's "The Avengers." That and the movie's middling financial performance a mere month after "Iron Man" rocked the scene were all the reasons the House of Ideas needed to ignore Leterrier's Hulk adventure for years.

The Abomination is back in a big way. The third episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, directed by Kat Coiro and written by Francesca Gailes & Jacqueline J. Gailes, centers on Jennifer Walters’ (Tatiana Maslany) defense of Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), aka the Abomination, to the parole board. Of course, nothing is ever simple for Jennifer. Her defense is thrown for a loop after footage is released of Blonksy’s recent escape, and his friendly cage match with Wong (Benedict Wong), as seen in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The return of the Abomination has been one of the most anticipated elements of She-Hulk, following his surprise reappearance after 13 years in Shang-Chi. Roth’s return is rewarding for long-term MCU audiences and defenders of The Incredible Hulk, myself included. But it also speaks to the importance of continuity as a large...

In episode 2 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), after losing her job as an assistant district attorney due to an incident of Hulking out in court, soon finds herself offered a new position with a firm that wants to defend enhanced humans and other super-powered beings. Desperate for a gig, she takes the job – and then finds out there are two caveats.
First, her boss wants her to perform her duties in her She-Hulk form, thinking it will serve as both great marketing and publicity that will attract clients and attention. Second, she is already assigned her first client: former Royal Marine Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), known in both the Marvel print and screen universes as the Abomination.
Blonsky made his Marvel Comics debut in 1967 but first appeared on the screen in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Assigned to...
