Green Lantern Corps and Eternity

 

It sounds like the Green Lantern Corps Max series is still on the way, even if it will take a while to get here.  Report have said it will be a mostly down to Earth mystery, which I am sure will help the budget.  Still, I hope they don't ignore too many of the fantastical off-world elements that makes The Corps such a cool concept.  Now that the strikes are over, hopefully we'll hear more about the direction of the show and casting for it soon.

Star Trek and Eternity

 

The crew of The Enterprise are no strangers to impossibly powerful entities, so this is a confrontation that would not be out of place on an episode of the original series.  I'd like to see how Kirk, Spock and the rest respond to a meeting with the living embodiment of the universe.

The Marvel Family and Eternity

 

With all of the recent movie delay announcements, it was nice to learn that at least Shazam! Fury of the Gods will actually be coming out a little sooner than previously expected. I've liked the brief glimpses that have been shown of the film so far.  The costumes look to be a big improvement over the first installment and I can't wait to see Helen Mirren in a comic book movie.

Eternity and Kid Eternity

 

The final Eternals trailer was released this week, and we got a couple more glimpses of The Celestials.  They look pretty impressive, we will see how much they actually do in the movie, or if they are just featured in flashback and expository scenes. If this movie deals with Celestials and Eternals, is there a chance that Eternity will be introduced?  They have a bunch of other characters to debut, so that's probably a long shot - even if it would be a good place to do so.

Legion of Super-Heroes and Eternity

 

The Marvel Universe has some truly powerful and mind blowing characters - Galactus, The Supreme Intelligence and so on.  I think one of the most amazing concepts has to be Eternity.  The leader of the abstract entities known as the Cosmic Powers of the Marvel Universe is basically the living embodiment of all that exists.  That something so great in scale could actually have conversations and interact with other characters always seemed a little far fetched and crazy - in a good way!  When comics think big, they think really big, and this is one part of the MCU that I always thought was cool, even if it didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Doctor Strange Vs. Mr. Mxyzptlk

Rumors are beginning to swirl about Marvel's Stage 4 cinematic plans, and Director Scott Derrickson has been hinting that a new Doctor Strange movie will be among them.  Since Marvel sequels have been used to introduce new characters, I am hoping we see Clea and maybe even Brother Voodoo included in the mix. Baron Mordo has already been set up as the antagonist, but I wouldn't mind seeing Nightmare in there as well.

A big thank you goes out to Bob Greenwade, longtime commenter and Patron of the Blog, for suggesting this epic match-up!

Eternity and The Justice Society of America

There have been lots of big big moves from DC lately, with the return of properties like Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Alan Moore's Watchmen characters and the heroes from his ABC Comics line... but still no sign of the classic JSA.  Their reintegration into the DCU has been teased for a while, but I am still waiting for the announcement of a new series with a top-notch creative team.

Green Lantern and Doctor Strange

Many people are speculating that there will be an appearance by one Green Lantern or another in Justice League.  If they go with a CGI alien GL, I can see that happening - but it's going to be a tougher surprise to pull off if they want to use John Stewart or Hal Jordan, who are scheduled to appear in their own film down the line.  Will they be able to cast an actor and film a scene without something leaking out?  It wouldn't be impossible, but it certainly wouldn't be easy to keep a lid on it.  

Eternity in the DC Universe

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 brought us Ego, the Living Planet and The Watchers, and truly opened up the cosmic scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Could James Gunn go even bigger and give us a glimpse at Eternity when he finishes up his trilogy?  The Celestials cameo in the first movie was great and I'd love to see his take on the biggest Marvel character of all.
