People will be mad that he is black, but I really have no connection to the character.

I'd feel the same way if they made Blob a Phillipino or Speedball a woman

As long as it is good, I'll watch

Looks fun. Hope they go into more with Damage Control, lots of stuff to mine there as they were wasted in Ms. Marvel. . .serving as generic black helicopter feds

I know exactly zero about this character, so I have no attachment to what he looks like or how he compares to any expectations. This seems to show a guy with powers who just wants to be an actor. I cant imagine how Trevor’s story would have unfolded to lead him to being what appears to be an acting coach. Honestly, this feels like a “het wouldn’t it be cool…” idea baked up after a serious drug binge in a Hollywood bubble. It’s going to take a LOT of convincing for me to want to see this. I’m sure it will somehow be required viewing to understand some plot point in a future movie/show, and that to me is why this whole Marvel house of cards is doomed to collapse.

I remember from IM 3 that he was an actor hired to be the Mandarin…though I saw Shang Chi, I don’t remember him in it at all, but it was a one watch for me. I guess I’m just curious how the former “terrorist” that is even referenced in that trailer is just out and about.

He was a major character in Shang Chi. He befriended the little pet thing

I guess I need to rewatch, because I have no idea what yo7 are referring to. I remember his dad was the baddie and maybe sister as some bad arse too, and there were some dragons in the final battle. Not trying to shite on it at all, but that was around the time when the whole Marvel universe just started to feel like an overwhelming chore.

Just make a dang Luke Cage/Power Man series. No need to desecrate Wonder Man. Who already sucked, BTW.

Marvel shows have been going down the drain, so I will approach this with the lowest of expectations.

At least he can act, unlike the clown performer from Kang the Conquer.

That's all I can say. Oh, he sorta looks like Jordan Howlett.

After finally seeing Quantumania, I'm amazed they didn't simply recast that character. Like, before Quantumania was made.

It looks like they are going completely away from the comic version. Here is his background:

Too bad we won’t get to see this play out.
