Well, looks like the MCU's going Muslim. . .

[Guestx]

Wut?

Muslim superhero Ms Marvel – AKA Kamala Khan – will become a prominent figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Marvel president Kevin Feige confirmed Marvel “has plans” for the character.

In an interview with the BBC, Feige said that “Ms Marvel ... the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel, is definitely sort of in the works.”

Feige provided no further details, other than the suggestion that Ms Marvel’s appearance will follow the Captain Marvel movie, starring Brie Larson and due for release in 2019. That film, which features Larson as Carol Danvers, is Marvel’s first female-led film and was originally titled Ms Marvel (as Danvers was termed in the comic-book publication in 1977). Ms Marvel’s identity was switched to Khan in 2014, and was Marvel’s first Muslim lead character.

Nope.

When all the current heavy hitters of the MCU are done, so am I.

I'll be around for Panther 2 and 3 GOTG 3, Antman 2 and 3 the end of Avengers, and any Spidey sequels with the current actor.

After that, see ya.

Here's the sentence that immediately jumps out to me:

What a fucking sign of the times, man.

Are there any explicitly Christian Marvel characters? Certainly none that I know of.

That's a good point.

This was already mentioned in the Captain Marvel thread.

Daredevil is a Catholic. So is Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler).

And?

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Why would Muslims scream and cry about a Muslim character?

Muslim right wingers also suck, yes. Conservatives from any country tend to be crappy

A Muslim could just as easily have made that comment.

Daredevil is a Catholic. So is Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler).

Interesting. I haven't paid a ton of attention to those guys but I don't remember anything about their religious faith.

So Steve Rogers is a Muslim?

IIRC the second scene in the first episode of Daredevil is him in confession.
