Avengers: Endgame
The writer ofAvengers 4have spent year teasing MODOK in the MCU - and they ’re not done suggesting the scoundrel . As the Marvel Cinematic Universe extend to flesh out on the grown and diminished CRT screen , almost all of the classic heroes and villains have appeared in some form or another . But one major rogue who ’s yet to come has two very outspoken champions . Back in 2011,Captain America : The First Avengersco - writerChristopher Markus said he want MODOK for the sequel , allowing Steve Rogers to combat one of his most iconic foes .
Though the intention of MODOK is quite unusual , Markus and his writing better half Stephen McFeely still think he could easy fit into the grounded world of the MCU . After all , theGuardians of the Galaxyfranchise has greatly expanded the aesthetic palette Marvel can work with . Regardless of any obstacle , however , the duette have remained insistent about the character ’s interest in a future film . In 2014 , theCaptain America : The Winter Soldierwriters fluff MODOKwas almost in the moving-picture show and reaffirm their desire to convey him aboard someday . Could 2019 be the class ?
TheFat - Man on Batmanpodcast , hosted by Kevin Smith and Marc Bernadin , spoke with Markus and McFeely about which villain they still want to take into the MCU , and who almost made the cutting forAvengers : Infinity War . accord to Markus , MODOK was once again in contention , but the prospect of precede the unique scoundrel was too much to allot with .
I ’ve wanted to put M.O.D.O.K. in , and it ’s very punishing to go ' here ’s the support fibre the jumbo head ' . ' And then we ’re going to get on with the story . We just arrive to him for entropy . Like you kind of have to design the whole movie around the guy with the gargantuan head word .
retaliator : Infinity Warwas a engaged cinema , but its balance of characters and story kept it from feel bloated . Part of that was due to a main focus on Thanos and some outer boundary aid given to the Black Order and the unmindful Outriders . Still , a return for the Red Skull was worked in , though that did n’t ask well-nigh as much account as setting up a whole new villain . ButAvengers 4could introduce young villainsto infestation the Avengers during their darkest hour , with Thanos only come into play subsequently in the movie . If that ’s the case , then the creepy MODOK could come forth from the bedlam . Markus say :
I have love for M.O.D.O.K. and I still think properly done he ’d be terrifying . Like you look all the way down the hall and like this Brobdingnagian head come around the corner and start coming and … oh , it would be awful .
MODOK would certainly be a dire presence if execute properly , andAvengers 3opened up all sorts of door for the MCU . The " grounded " nature of the existence has expanded to include a circle of antic concepts , and A.I.M. already exists in some form . With that in mind , the science terrorist group could reform after their defeat inIron Man 3and use the loss of Earth ’s Heron to create MODOK . The villain and his creators could then be explored further in a futureIron Man , Captain America , orAvengersfilm , any of which Markus and McFeely would likely be happy to write if it includes MODOK . We ’ll have to wait and see if that pass , butAvengers 4isn’t far out now and could finally make the writing duo ’s longtime dream come true .
