MODOK

Image via Marvel Studios From the dodgy CGI to his rushed redemption arc, there were plenty of missed opportunities with M.O.D.O.K, so comparing him to Darth Vader – arguably the fiercest and most beloved villain of all-time – might ruffle some feathers. Let’s face it, M.O.D.O.K was a pretty big disappointment when he finally debuted in the MCU as the secondary villain to Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The character was botched so badly that he’s pretty much become synonymous with everything wrong…

For starters, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn’s last MCU flick before he fully commits to rebooting Supes for DC, is trouncing its immediate predecessor at the box office. Speaking of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, just when you thought it was safe to come out from under your beds, M.O.D.O.K. has…

via Marvel Studios On any given day, the internet is awash with rumors surrounding every high-profile comic book project in development, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wasn’t quite subjected to the same treatment, largely down to the fact that writer and director James Gunn has made it his mission to debunk as much unfounded hearsay as possible. Scooper culture has become an increasingly loud part of the superhero discourse, but you’ve got to be 100 percent correct when peddling scuttlebutt about a Gunn…

Image via Marvel Studios Peyton Reed had confirmed a while back that M.O.D.O.K. would feature in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Qunatumania. And there were speculations of Corey Stoll reprising his role as Darren Cross. However, it was a surprise when the film’s first trailer featured Stoll taking on the mantle of M.O.D.O.K. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character underwent not just an identity change, but quite a few tweaks in design and appearance. In Quantumania, M.O.D.O.K. features a genetically repurposed…

Thor Annual #1 from Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly and Ibraim Roberson will also feature a look at the upcoming Thor relaunch.I just thought it was worth mentioning that the Realms Of X, in the upcoming Fall Of X, stands for the Ten Realms. Which probably has nothing to do with the upcoming Thor Annual #1 from Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly and Ibraim Roberson for a new Thor Annual from Marvel Comics in July. Which at least has something to do with the Ten Realms. and a certain MODOK… From master storytelling duo Jackson…

Marvel Snap’s newest season pass, Into the Quantum Realm, introduces us to a new card: MODOK. MODOK is a 5-Cost card with 8-Power and has a game-changing On Reveal effect that discards your entire hand. MODOK’s effect may seem entirely unfavorable or even game-losing, but Discard decks are incredibly terrifying, surprising, and can turn the tables in a match very swiftly or at the last possible moment to attain that sweet victory. In our best Pool 2 and Pool 3 decks, we did cover two different Discard…

via Marvel Studios Nobody seems to have gotten more of a kick out of M.O.D.O.K. making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania than returning star Corey Stoll, and with good reason. Not only did he get to bring one of the most iconic and ridiculous comic book villains of all-time to life by doing little more than a couple of days performing facial performance capture and ADR in the recording booth, but he’s deservedly taken a leaf out of Captain America’s book by claiming the…
