I could do without the Iron fist.

They had a chance to make some great points with that show, but... didn't. Lost opportunity.

Mike Coulter is now in another series - I don't know that we can get Luke Cage back any time soon.

There's talk of Charlie Cox being in the next Spider-Man movie, and Kingpin being a major antagonist in Hawkeye.
A Spider-Man/Daredevil team up for a Gangwars story line with the King Pin would be cool. Throw in the Punisher and Silver Sable and I'm in.

I don't expect to see Spider-Man come down from movies to doing TV series. And I think he movies are going to stay focused on the typical Spider-Man gallery of rogues.
 

Moon Knight is a character that bringing them to life is going to require a very careful threading of the needle - navigating his mental illness in a way that is authentic and respectful, dealing with the orientalist tropes of the character, and making sure he's not just color-swapped Batman. Oscar Isaacs can probably manage it, but so much will depend on the scripts and director.

Moon Knight is a favorite of mine of old, but I have since realized how problematic the character is - in the comics, due to trauma*, he has what a layman would call a "multiple personality disorder", and that brings up tons of issues about mental illness that could be handled very badly. I still think it can be done well, but.. it'd be hard. Oscar Isaac probably has the chops, but we'll see...

He's in many ways a Batman analog, dude who goes out an puches people in the night, but with a big lampshade on Bats' mental health issues.

I'm most excited for Ms. Marvel. Debuting a Muslim Pakistani-American teenage girl as a superhero in the MCU is a big deal. And, as a character, she's fun and exciting.

I think you are probably correct as I don't follow the TV shows. I like the concept and with Marvel doing both streaming TV and movies I'd like to think anything's possible.

Well, that was fun

I would love it if the division between TV and movie were blurred so much that we didn't watch with the meta knowledge that movie characters are unlikely to show up in a TV show and vice versa (not that they don't, but they tend to be the star role rather than a surprise feature).
