ARMOR WARS Star Don Cheadle Confirms The Disney+ Series Starts Shooting In "A Couple Months"

@MyCoolYoung - I wonder if Rocket left behind a cool upgrade for Rhodey.

@DoubleD - World War Hulk NO one is left Standing except the Hulk.

@inkniron - Black Widow? Shang-Chi? Black Panther 2? Blade? Captain Marvel 2? Eternals (lot of the cast are women or not white people) You really think women and Poc people are relegated to the tv side? Or you just didn't check like most people do?

@Oskir - @Waddles - @Tonic24k - I agree it is and should be the future. There is better opportunity for long form story telling and more places to introduce characters we might never see in the movies. Regardless, many people, a lot of actors included, see it as a lesser medium.

I never said exclusively relegated. BP was right where he should be and it was nice to see a CM inclusion, although she was mostly inconsequential except for saving Tony and a last minute arrival in Endgame. Let's not kid ourselves though. Up to this point, the MCU has been pretty much white male dominated. I have no illusions or complaints that Shang Chi, and The Eternals are done for diversity sake. Outside of a handful of people, who was really clamoring for either of these? The Eternals are ripe for diversity casting because 99/100 random people you ask, probably couldn't pick one from the comics out of a line up, which is perfectly fine. Poor BW, even though I'm not a huge fan, didn't get her time in the sun until they killed off her character.

The problem with the shows going to streaming isn't even an original complaint of mine but from a family member. After being sidekicks, for lack of a better term, or maybe playing second fiddle to Cap and Tony, Falcon gets to carry the mantle, Rhodey gets to step in for IM, but they don't get the kind of spotlight. There is a new Wakanda show and the other day, people were confused on here whether it is a BP2 replacement or its own thing.

The optimist in me hopes to see a lot of well done, character driven MCU shows streaming constantly in 8-9 episode doses 5-6 times a year, even if they are stand alone, not just connecting directly to the MCU proper

The cynic in me sees demographics say that the theater's target audience and biggest demographic is white males while black people say that if you make good content they would want to see, then they'll go see it. Neither of those is a lie, as we saw with BP. Maybe relegated isn't the right word. Maybe Didney see's it as a targeted opportunity to expand subscriptions to D+ with minorities.

Or, I could be crazy.

And BTW, Hawkeye is Hallie's show and Renner's swansong.
