Wanda is going to be in the next Doctor Strange movie, the Multiverse of Madness. Also that show ties into the film.
If they were going to use Wanda to bring Mutants to the MCU, that’s the place they’ll do it, though there might be some set up in WandaVision.
Wanda accidentally bringing mutants into existence while doing a simple training exercise with Doctor Strange may be the only way I'd accept mutants in the MCU without being annoyed.
Strange is catching the news after training one day, then calls Wanda in.
"Go put a dollar in the jar."
"What? What for?"
"Just... go do it."
Wanda goes into the kitchen and puts a dollar in the jar labelled "I accidentally imbued something with powers via mystical mistake". The jar is overflowing with money.
Wanda goes back to Strange and he just points at the TV, which is showing a variety of clips of people flying, running around throwing fire, flipping cars, and shooting eye lasers. All the clips are from the last 24 hours. Also, the TV is floating.
"HOW IS THAT MY FAULT, YOU SAID I WASN'T TRYING HARD ENOUGH."
Don't know how historically accurate it is though. None of the Romans are speaking English! Seems like a fuckup not to have them speak the Queen's Latin.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
The Inhumans aren't really mutants anyway, they're born powerless and huff space farts to get abilities. No X gene there.
Inhumans have to have some alien legacy to be activated by terrigen. Pure humans just die when exposed.

Humans aren't affected by Terrigen, far as I know. Agents of Shield added that Diviner mcguffin that kills humans, and some bad guy Inhumans melted it down into Terrigen crystals that would either kill or turn ya, but outside of that Terrigen is safe.
Also Mutants get their powers amped up by it too, IIRC?
Oh brilliant

Last time we saw terrigen, it killed mutants, was going to exterminate all mutants on the planet, and that whole thing was real dumb.

yeah it's automatically fluff action, the baseline historical accuracy requires the romans to speak british accented english like they really did, with more pomp the higher their social class
slaves and gladiators should have cockney accents, but having them have an Irish accent as per that one slave in HBO's rome is acceptable

I strongly doubt they would do something as world-changing as introducing mutants through a Disney+ show. If only because it robs them of a major milestone they can use to hype a blockbuster, billion-dollar film.
They did it with inhumans, though that has not yet reached mainstream yet, just the TV side.
The Inhumans were always a pet project for Ike Perlmutter, who thought they were "his" version of the X-Men, which he constantly worked to downplay because Marvel sold the rights to the IP and weren't making money from it.
He tried to get a movie made, and when that didn't work because Feige put his foot down, he made the show instead. It was a power play against both Fox and Feige that failed miserably.
It's also worth noting that by then the shows were well-established as operating on a one-way street in relation to the larger MCU. The things in the films impacted the shows, but the opposite wasn't true - nothing the shows do in the MCU are considered canonical to the films.
It's a collaborative work by a who's-who of Hong Kong filmmakers, each presenting a segment about the city in each decade from the 60's to the prospective 2020's. Kung Fu legends like Sammo Hung and Yuen Woo-Ping, action directors like Tsui Hark and Johnnie To, and art filmmakers like Patrick Tam and Ann Hui. Apparently John Woo had to withdraw from the project as it was filming due to health reasons which is a shame. A further shame is that Ringo Lam, who's responsible for one of the segments, died during production.
I guess this project inspires some sense of wistfulness, both in the story of its production, and in its subject: the history of a storied, important part of East Asia facing an uncertain future.

... Look, I always had a thing for Medusa and Mystique growing up. And as the movie Mystique never really appealed to me, that left me with Medusa. And I lament the butcher job she got.

Interesting teaser... Why does it feel like they can never get Claire's face right? Like in any of the versions since RE2's original CGI, it's always felt off.
What does a mystery box look like in a Dr. Seuss story?
It is neither here nor there...
The answer's not written anywhere!
You'll keep searching, low and high...
But a compelling, well thought out answer doesn't exist, so forget it.
Didn't know they were making another one. You'd think that interrupting Mike Pence dressed as Trump would have caused the news to at least mention the movie. Kind of impressed with the secrecy of it all in this day and age.

I feel like somebody would have to explain to me why what he does is supposed to be funny, inherently killing any of the humor I'm not getting anyway. Most of the time he's just bullshitting people who are trying to deal with a random person intentionally acting like an idiot and not letting them in on the joke. So he's being an asshole by actually being an asshole, but not an actually funny asshole. Half the time I'm just feeling bad for the people trying to honestly deal with his crap and he's just blatantly abusing their civility for a bad joke.
I get there's a bunch of satire of American bullshit in there... but so what? I already know all that crap, how is that funny? Republicans hate Democrats more than a deadly virus! What astonishing and hilarious news. Forty years ago.
He goes after fruit hanging so low you need a shovel to find it.

Here is a trailer for Aaron Sorkin's next film:
It should be good, it doesn't have an female characters in it and only one black guy.
Also that is Eddie Redmayne in the beginning, but I think they dubbed his line cause that US accent...
