Gotta say idk who this could be
So we know more about Espositos character:
He's an "agent of chaos" so probably a villain
They are in Captain America 4, possibly added during reshoots
That may not be their first appearance
They aren't Doom, Osborn, or Magneto.
As for the series part it's still hard to tell where he'd be that he'd show up again.
It really is just all the major plot and character beats. Unless they changed the part 2 plans, and it doesn't sound like it, they're really just gonna pull a Dune and not tell anyone it's a part 1 till the credits roll
Every single report on the reshoots, including the literal city permissions with a description what's being filmed, what scenes have been cut, indicates it's mostly action scenes. Only action scenes? Probably not. But that's been very consistently reported as the big thing that needs fixing: test audiences didn't like the action enough.
Yeah that McDonald's stuff is locked in. They have those happy meals scheduled for the full year, they can't change them. Similarly why a lot of the Sonic 1 merch had the original design and not the fixed one: they gotta get that shit OUT on schedule
Reshoots have started! Or at least prep has started for later this week
Someone found the filming permits it does seem like the reshoots are mostly adding more action scenes. Specifically a scene where Sam is ambushed with spike strips by what seem to be the cops and then the fight goes indoors.
I wonder if they're just saving the inevitable Spider-Man announcement for SDCC? They seem pretty far in and normally they'd have selected a date by now at least.
I'm sure it'll be profitable, aside from the cast it doesn't seem too expensive, but people expecting a blockbuster are gonna be really really let down I think
