The heroes finally team up!
Ok, alot of you are probably wondering why the (unofficial) team name is "The Warriors". Well, that's because of a series in the Ultimate comics that the whole MCU story thus far has been loosely based on. Daredevil puts together a team to catch the Kingpin. If you think i should've called it Marvel Knights, well, i'll just say i have a plan for that in the future of my MCU!
Let's get to the fancast, which i'm sure most of you have seen in the parts leading up to this by now.
Anthony Mackie as T'Challa aka Black Panther
I have Mackie returning as the King of Wakanda, because i think it's such a great pick and people have seemed to agree.
Tom Hardy as Marc Spector aka Moon Knight
Hardy is one of the best up and coming actors (in my opinion)and is a favorite to cast it seems here at CBM. I still think he'd be great at pulling of Moon Knight!
Karl Urban as Frank Castle aka Punisher
Same as before, Urban as Punisher.
And now, my new pick for Daredevil!
Ryan Gosling as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil
This is the 3rd time i've cast Daredevil, all with different actors. I haven't had much luck, and i now know he's a tough character to cast. I would've chosen Michael C. Hall, the fan favourite, if not for the fact he's been done so many times on here. Gosling is an incredible actor, and i think he deserves to be part of a blockbuster film that he hasn't seemed to be a part of yet, (Unless you count the Notebook as blockbuster). I recently saw him in "The Ides of March" and i thought he'd make a good Daredevil. And for those who might (and probably will) say he doesn't have a deep enough voice for Daredevil, he's an actor. It's what he does for a living, i'm sure he could find a way to make it work. I'd also like to thank @NeilBeforeYoung for this choice. He was the first person i saw with it, and i thought about it, and i can't agree more!
James Gandolfini as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin
Everyone who has read any parts of my MCU should know this choice by now.
Guy Pearce as the Taskmaster
I think Pearce could make a great Taskmaster, he's done action movies before.
Tahar Rahim as Jean Paul Du-Champ aka Frenchie
I have Rahim returning as Frenchie, Spector's sidekick and pilot, who begins travelling with the heroes, driving them around. ALso for anyone who didn't read "Moon Knight" i have him as a hitman, so he is very skilled.
Jennifer Morisson as Marlene Alraune
Morrison returns as Marlene, Spector's love interest.
Zoe Saldana as Ororo Munroe
Saldana returns as a pre-Storm Ororo Munroe.
Alan Tudyk as Detective Martin Soap
Tudyk returns as Martin Soap, one of the few good cops in New York. (Similar to then Sergeant Gordon in Batman Begins) Also i don't have Tudyk entirely used for comic relief, as he isn't as clumsy as in the comics.
Jack Coleman as Ben Urich
This choice just seems to make so much sense to me, Colemans a great actor who could pull off Urich.
Stephen Root as Linus Lieberman aka Microchip
Root returns as Microchip.
CAMEOS:
Vincent Cassel as Ulysses Klaw
The outcome of Klaw was left in the air at the end of Black Panther 2, but we learn what happened to him here.
Stephen Dorff as Mister Fear
In my MCU, he was last seen as still alive after being presumed dead, and this is the set up to what will be a major part for him in the future of my MCU.
Okay, finally. Now that the cast is done, let's get to the story!
PREMISE:
The vigilantes we have come to know finally appear together in this superhero team up “The Warriors”! Vigilantes Moon Knight (Tom Hardy), Daredevil (Ryan Gosling), Black Panther (Anthony Mackie) and Punisher (Karl Urban) all have their respective pasts. But they are all in each other’s future, as they start their journey to once and for all bring down the Kingpin (James Gandolfini). But he’s not the only one after them. After a violent incident puts the Warriors on the wrong side of the law, they are hunted down by New York’s finest, following duties of the Vigilante Outlaw Act, outlawing every one of the heroes kind.
STORY:
We start with the four main heroes (Moon Knight, Daredevil, Black Panther and the Punisher) stopping a crime ordered by the Kingpin.
We see the heroes/vigilantes back at the underground base they have been residing in. They hang up their respective costumes and leave, only using the base at night, when they do their crime stopping related activities.
We see Matt Murdock get back to his Hell’s Kitchen apartment, where he begins working out and training.
Marc Spector is making love to Marlene Alraune. T’Challa is seen making love to Ororo in her apartment.
Frank Castle, however has no love interest. He is instead trying to connect the strings on what he knows about the Committee. Their leader is Wilson Fisk, he figured that out in “The Punisher”. He also knows Taskmaster, the man who executed his family, is a hired gun of Kingpin himself.
Now we see Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin. He is in a new base of operations, and we see the Taskmaster in the same room as him. He has a man on his knees at gunpoint. Kingpin attempts to get information from him about the vigilantes he’s encountered lately. The man denies knowing anything, and we see who it is; Ben Urich, a respected reporter. Kingpin promises they’ll be doing regular checks to see if he has any information, and if he goes to the police, he’s dead.
By day, we see Murdock at his law firm holding a press conference. Amid reporters, he announces that his and Foggy Nelson’s law firm is proud to be funding a new mega security prison to hold the most dangerous criminals – it’s called “Shadowland”.
We also see him flirting with his new secretary as he gets into his car, he refers to her as “Karen Page”.
We see Steven Grant, billionaire philanthropist (A creation of Marc Spector due to his Multiple Personality Disorder) mingling with socialites. He is surprised to see Wilson Fisk, who doesn’t know he is Moon Knight. Grant approaches him and they each weigh in on their opinion of vigilantes.
We again see the heroes together in the underground base of operations. We also see Microchip by a bunch of computers and Frenchie in the background.
They share their knowledge of the latest news revolving the Kingpin. Moon Knight says that he was able to find out through his contacts that the Kingpin was involved in a drug shipment happening later that night. Punisher mocks his MPD, asking “Which one of you found that out?”
They await on a rooftop in the shadows and see some thugs standing guard. They calculate who will take who, and soon they’re all gone. They see the thugs actually committing the crime.
Daredevil soon notices that there are 4 locations around the dock where shipments are occurring – enough for one each between the heroes. They each go to a respective shipment station and we see each of them defeating the thugs in action. However, as the 3 other heroes managed to use enough force to knock the thugs unconscious, Punisher shoots down all the thugs, leaving Daredevil questioning himself whether he was a good addition to the team with his violent way of justice.
The next day, T’Challa is woken up by Ororo, and we see each of the heroes reaction as a new law is announced – the Vigilante Outlaw Act. Due to Punisher’s murdering’s the night before, the NYPD feels that it crossed the line between heroes and vigilantes. They plead to the vigilantes to turn themselves in, and that they have authority to shoot them on site.
Murdock is contacted by T’Challa, although Murdock insists they “stay to the plan” until they finish their war on crime.
Kingpin meanwhile has become enraged. We see him with Taskmaster, expressing his rage that his thugs cannot stop four men. He says he needs to shake things up and orders all of his men into his office. He makes them all get on their knees, and tells them how bad of job they’ve done. He orders Taskmaster to kill them all, and he obeys, shooting them one by one.
Fisk says that he needs help that is actually capable of committing simple crimes and could actually challenge the vigilantes. He says he needs “The Hand”.
We see the heroes yet again meet up in the underground hideout. Murdock blames Castle for the VOA, but Castle says that they clearly have different views on justice and he did what had to be done.
Microchip alert them that he hacked into NYPD scanners and figured out that a bunch of thugs had been found dead, (The Taskmaster executions) and that the police’s early conclusion was that it was them. The heroes are confused, initially thinking Castle was involved, but he insists he didn’t do it.
T’Challa questions why Kingpin would execute his own men, and Murdock reveals the only reason he’d do it is because he’s clearly “planning something bigger”.
They go over to where Microchip is, surrounded by his computers. They create a plan to infiltrate Kingpin’s headquarters, in an attempt to gain enough evidence to send him to jail. They figure his location thanks to Microchip, who hacks into a security camera system to see Wilson Fisk entering a building that he believes is his base of operations as a crime lord. Murdock announces that they’ll go forward with their plan the following day, as there’s “something he has to do first”.
He goes into Ben Urich’s office, and finds him bloodied and beaten. He refuses to say what happened to him, not wanting to get Daredevil into it, but DD insists. He tells him what happened, and Daredevil tells him to go to safety.
As he is on the rooftops, we see NYPD officer Martin Soap, who soon calls in the Daredevil sighting and puts him at gunpoint, telling him of his authority to shoot. Daredevil disappears into the shadows before approaching him from behind. Soap turns around and Daredevil grabs his gun and bends it with one hand. He tells him to say the sighting was false. Soap does this, before asking why they still do it even with the new VOA act. Daredevil says it’s because “Justice is Blind”.
We see Spector, showing obvious signs of his MPD getting worse, scaring his girlfriend Marlene.
T’Challa tells Ororo that if he does not return to “give this to Syan” he hands her the necklace with canisters surrounding his neck. He says that the Black Panther will be rightfully his.
Finally, the heroes are in the underground base preparing for the upcoming infiltration of Kingpin’s HQ. They board into the Mooncopter, with Frenchie, the pilot, who drives them to Fisk’s HQ. He lands them nearby the entrance, and they finally enter.
Kingpin is watching from his video security system, and he orders his new thugs to kill them. Members of “The Hand”, assassins who seemingly bow down to Kingpin now, showing he took over the group. The group of heroes do not expect them to be trained assassins, but still manage to overpower them, eventually defeating them all before they encounter Kingpin himself.
Kingpin sends Taskmaster at the heroes. He has a one on one battle with the Punisher, who eventually forces him to the ground, repeatedly punching him. He holds him down as the other heroes move in on Kingpin. Kingpin expresses his belief that there will be successors, and that the criminal underworld will rule New York for a long time to come.
Daredevil says they aren’t going to kill him, much to the shock of Castle. He tells him that one of his thugs who was executed by Taskmaster survived the attack and is willing to testify against him to put him away for life. He tells him to leave New York, and never come back. If he doesn’t leave, than he’ll get the thug to testify in front of a jury. Fisk says that he has connections and could easily have the thug killed, but Daredevil says he’s in 24/7 police surveillance. He forces Fisk to leave.
As Kingpin walks out of his empire forever, Daredevil tells him to “Leave Urich alone”.
Taskmaster catches Punisher off guard and punches him, and gets up and draws his guns on all the heroes. He expresses that he didn’t think he’d get to kill them all in one place, and mockingly asks which one would like to die first. Murdock expresses to him that “It’s over”. However, before they can apprehend him, he falls to the ground, bullets in his back. We see standing behind him – the Punisher. Gaining revenge for his family. Daredevil becomes enraged, attacking Punisher for his violent way of justice. While he apprehends Punisher, he (Punisher) asks why Murdock didn’t kill Kingpin, seeming as he killed his father. Murdock says it’s because he doesn’t fear the Kingpin, because he is a “man without fear”.
As they load the Mooncopter, Moon Knight holding a dead Taskmaster, and Daredevil pushing forward Punisher. Frenchie asks where to next, and Daredevil says “Shadowland”.
Castle tries to make reason with DD, saying it was for his family, but also threatening he could use his identity against him, to which Daredevil says, “It’s ok, I got a good lawyer.”
A barely alive Taskmaster and Punisher are sent to Shadowland as registered criminals.
In Shadowland we see Taskmaster (Without his costume) enter his cell. His cellmate says “Long time, no see, Task.” He turns around to see who it is and he sees his new cellmate; Ulysses Klaw. (We last saw him tied up unconscious, but the NYPD seemingly caught him)
Daredevil, Moon Knight, Black Panther, Frenchie, Marlene, Ororo and Microchip are all in the underground base. Microchip is disappointed and saddened at Castle’s imprisonment, but says that without him, he has no place being in the hero business, and leaves.
Daredevil says it’s been a pleasure working with them and that he’s always there if they need any help. Black Panther also thanks Moon Knight and Daredevil for letting him help. Moon Knight stays in his (he created it) underground base with Frenchie and Marlene as Daredevil, Black Panther and Ororo leave the base, going their separate ways…for now.
We see the ruins of Kingpin’s old headquarters. A man in a cape slowly walks towards Fisk’s old office. He knocks down the nameplate that reads “Wilson Fisk”. He sits in the chair and turns around and we see his face; Mister Fear.
POST CREDITS SCENE:
Daredevil is crouching on the window sill of Ben Urich’s office. Urich tells him of a man who has been on a mini killing spree as of late, se his targets seemingly assassinating his targets using any object from shurikens to even playing cards. He tells him the last one he left had a word on it. Daredevil asks what it said, to which Urich responds “Bullseye”.
