First off? Cool cover-sim! Makes me wonder if Princess Python got hold of the Cosmic Cube or something.
Secondly? I think, in your excitement, you accidentally abbreviated a sentence that should've read "I wouldn't be surprised to _see it_ show up one day..."
Last, but not least? I echo your sentiment. Bring on the Silver Screen Savage Land!
This is a paring I've always wanted to see. But where are their respective feline companions? I wanna see a Zabu/Shakira team-up dammit!
The best way to introduce the Savage Land to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is by having Karl Lykos steal the real Mandarin's favorite jewelry collection. That way, Marvel/Disney could call the film...
"The Ten Rings of Sauron."
@Carycomic: I think Morgoth's lawyers would have something to say about that.
I agree with Ross that the Savage Land would be great on the big screen. Also, Carycomic, I think the Serpent Crown would make for a better plot device. Nuff said!

This crossover actually makes more sense than most people would realize: Skartaris is a "hollow Earth" world (not much unlike Pellucidar), so a "breach" between it and the Savage Land would be fairly easy to achieve. That just adds an extra bit of coolness to this already-overdue team-up.
As for the Savage Land in the MCU, I think it's generally been tied closely enough to the X-Men that its cinematic existence has been held by Fox. One might have to re-view the Infinity Saga to see if there have been any Easter eggs (there have been a couple of Namor/Atlantis ones, going at least as far back as Iron Man 2), but if that guess of mine is right (and it is totally a guess), then that would explain the absence of any explicit mentions.
Kevin Feige is a big fan of second- and third-tier characters, so I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing the Savage Land at some point, even if it's limited to a Disney+ series.
@Carycomic: I dunno. If you think the Armies of Mordor are bad, just wait 'til you have to deal with its lawyers!
Now I want to see a team of Ka-Zar, Warlord, Conan, B'wana Beast, Zangief etc as the Savage Shirtless Squad lol
You need to add He-Man and Thundarr.
@Ordinaryguy2: Good point! I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Ghaur and Llyra couldn't have used up every _single_ other-dimensional counterpart of the crown during "Atlantis Attacks." And Princess Python finally wearing that crown is way overdue (canonically and otherwise)!
Marvel does crossovers for max value.
Movie starts with Doc Strange viewing what's going on there. He is about to do something, but gets called away to deal with a new major threat. The camera goes back to scene and movie "screen image" goes to full size. That's just the opening.
@Det. Tobor: Immediately after opening credits? Prince T'challa of Wakanda leads a hunt that brings down something unusual, even for panther-worshippers. A saber-tooth cat! Even more unusual, though, is the blond-haired, blue-eyed savage who attacks the royal retinue when they attempt to cart the saber-tooth away.
Investigation ensues; leading to the discovery of a teleportal in Wakanda's Serpent Valley. A teleportal leading to the Antarctic Savage Land! And, after a little help from Dr. Strange, the Black Panther's sister traces the portal's origin to a prehistoric-looking city ruled by a witch-queen named...
...Zaladane.
One change- movie starts BEFORE movie credits, just after the Marvel stamp with DC WAVE. Warlord should have something involved in opening too.
Otherwise, cue the popcorn maker! We've got a live one starting.
That could be what Dr. Strange sensed in the pre-credit prologue. A disruption at the North Magnetic Pole resulting from a teleportal returning Travis Morgan to Earth!
A teleportal caused by a Marvel Zombie version of Deimos!!
Who said group thinking can't work? It may have had a Strange start but it'll have a wizard of an ending.
I'm not familiar with either of these characters, but the one at the bottom looks like Torkan from the newspaper strip.
@Anon721: Ka-Zar is a Silver Age Marvel character based on a pulp-fiction imitation of Tarzan from the 1940's. But, where the Golden Age Ka-Zar was born David Rand (orphan son of John and Constance Rand), the Silver Age version was born Kevin Plunder. One of the two sons of British aristocrat Lord Plunder; discoverer of Antarctic vibranium.
Conversely, Travis "Warlord" Morgan was created by Mike Grell (of Green Arrow and LSH fame) as a DC version of David Innes. The latter being to Hollow Earth what John Carter was to Mars. Which is not surprising as Innes and Carter were the brain-children of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The literary father of Tarzan!
"Here endeth the lesson for the day."
Please don't tell me that while you were preparing this cover you figured out a way to link the Artic and Antartic. No wait, what am I saying? I do want you to tell me!
OK! It was accomplished through a travel agency founded by The Calculator and The Spot.
He who lays his guard down on Skartaris dies.
