Just how Hawkeye Can Be Introducing The Netflix Marvel Universe To The MCU

With Hawkeye on Disney+ already hitting the half-way factor and also Spider-Man: No other way Home simply around the bend, the MCU's banner 2021 is tailoring up to shut out the year with a bang-- and also, as it ends up, all those concepts the internet has been jointly thawing down over with respect to the addition of some non-MCU Marvel characters might actually be onto something. And no, we're not chatting concerning all the Sony characters appearing in No other way Home.

In the third episode of Hawkeye, appropriately entitled Echoes, we got our very first consider the life of Maya Lopez, the titular Mirror, a deaf anti-hero turned hero from Marvel Comics who are making her official MCU debut in the program. Played by Ala qua Cox, this version of Maya has an individual vendetta against Robin, who secured her family members on his bloody, serial-killing rampage during the room in between Infinity War as well as Endgame. This all deviates a bit from her comics beginning-- though not as long as you may believe.

Several times in the episode, both during recalls to Maya's childhood years and today day, we see and hear responds to Maya's uncle. He's also included just off-screen in one of the flashback moments-- though remarkably, no name for him appears in the credits, though any person that recognizes the Netflix Marvel universe well enough is likely to acknowledge both the voice and the hand featured in the scene. That's because in the comics, Maya's uncle is none other than Wilson Fisk, Also Known As Authority, who embraced her as his own after he murdered her dad.

Certainly, that's not specifically what's happening below-- Maya's father is helping Fisk in some capability or an additional, as well as Robin is the one doing the murdering-- but the end result is still ultimately the exact same. Currently, it's not totally clear if this version of Fisk is actually Vincent D'Ontario repeating his function from the Netflix reveals or if the quick mostly-off-camera moment in the episode was simply a person that appeared suspiciously like him, and also since the credit reports don't clarify we're entrusted nothing however conjecture at this factor.

Nevertheless, offered the existing day moments of the episode and also the reality that the Tracksuit Mafia appears to be tied up in Kingpin's service, it appears unpreventable that an exposé for the official MCU Authority is hosting likely to happen eventually in the show. Nonetheless, we can not neglect that the Tracksuits were searching for something very details during their heist at the auction (a strange watch) under somebody's orders. What Fisk would certainly desire with a watch continues to be seen, yet it does appear like the sort of thing only an obsessive guy with a ton of power and also disposable sources would want.

This, naturally, doesn't in fact assure that the Fisk we'll be seeing will in fact be the Fisk from the Netflix world. Also, if D'Ontario is reprising the character, it could be a circumstance similar to J.K. Simmons and also his reprisal of J. Jonah Jameson for Spider-Man: Far From Home-- though with all the upcoming universe-hopping about to drop in No chance Home, there's never ever been a far better time to bend the regulations of fact in the MCU. And also, if D'Ontario truly is concerning to be making his main MCU launching, who's to say we couldn't see a reveal of the rest of Netflix's New York City at some point entering the mix? After all, Echo has currently been confirmed to be getting her very own spin-off show on Disney+, which can offer much more room for the MCU to slowly turn out re-introductions to familiar personalities that would organically be component of Mirror's globe.

Do you assume the MCU should make the effort to bring the Netflix characters back to the small-screen? Or would certainly you rather see the similarity The Protectors and their enemies re-cast as new actors for a new motion picture universe? Let us recognize in the remarks.
