The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has brought together well-known characters from numerous timelines and dimensions as it sets off on a big adventure through the multiverse. One of the best examples of this multiversal investigation is "Deadpool & Wolverine," which skillfully combines many cameos and allusions to earlier Marvel films. The story of the movie centers on the interactions between several Marvel realities, and it ends with a touching scene in which X-23 and Wolverine go to Earth-10005.
Though Henry Cavill's Wolverine and Channing Tatum's Gambit make brief cameos in "Deadpool & Wolverine," it's the cameos of Chris Evans' Human Torch, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and Wesley Snipes' Blade that really complete the picture. These characters, who originated in Marvel films from the early 2000s including "Daredevil," "Fantastic Four," and the "Blade" trilogy, are beloved by a large number of fans. It's possible that "Deadpool & Wolverine" is not the final time they appear together and that a big team-up is in the works.
Many Marvel characters from before the MCU have already been included into the multiverse story of the MCU. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" included Patrick Stewart as Professor X, "The Marvels" featured Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" brought us back to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men. But this multiversal tapestry is lacking two important characters: Ghost Rider (Nicolas Cage) and Hulk (Eric Bana).
In Marvel film history, "Hulk" and "Ghost Rider" each have a unique place. "Ghost Rider" brought the Spirit of Vengeance to the big screen, while "Hulk" was the first Marvel movie to include a CGI Hulk. Even though they might not have been as financially successful as the early "X-Men" films or the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" trilogy, these films were essential in laying the groundwork for the MCU. An emotional homage to these early Marvel films would be provided by Bana's Hulk and Cage's Ghost Rider making brief cameos in future MCU motion pictures or television shows.
The MCU has consistently shown that it is dedicated to paying tribute to its film forebears. The incorporation of pre-MCU characters into its multiverse narratives is indicative of a profound admiration for the extensive legacy of Marvel films. Resurrecting Ghost Rider played by Nicolas Cage and the Hulk played by Eric Bana would complete this circle of homage and cement the bond between the early aughts Marvel Movies and the contemporary MCU.
The MCU is renowned for its expansive narrative, and the multiverse is no different. The "Multiverse Saga" has opened up a wide range of options, and there is a tremendous amount of room for multiversal team ups. The resurrection of Ghost Rider (Nick Cage) and Hulk (Eric Bana) would allow the MCU to put together a multiversal team worthy of legends.
The addition of Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider and Eric Bana's Hulk would bring the MCU's next multiversal crossover to previously unheard-of heights. Returning these characters would be a potent reminder of the franchise's ongoing legacy, as they are an essential part of Marvel's cinematic past. Incorporating these two figures will not only fulfill the ardent wishes of enthusiasts but also produce a remarkable cinematic encounter.
