Could you guess the identity of the Marvel superhero from the thumbnail?
Out promoting Avengers: Infinity War, screenwriters Christoper Markus and Steven McFeely were asked what character they'd like to see the MCU introduce in future films. Without hesitation, Markus zeroed in on Aaron Stack aka Machine Man. "Literally, no one will ever do this — I say this, and then it’ll be announced — I think Machine Man is hilarious. I like Moon Knight, but you have to handle Moon Knight in a very careful way, or he just becomes negative image Batman. But there are certain runs in the comics where you go, ‘That’s crazy.'"
It's somewhat interesting that Markus namedrops Moon Knight as that's a character Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed on the current Infinity War press tour that the studio is actively exploring.
McFeely offered up his own suggestion, a character that's also recently come up in interviews. "I’d love to see Namor. I don’t think they even have the rights to him. But that’s a guy with a big upside, I think."
As if a little thing like not having the rights has ever stopped Marvel...
