The Shi’ar
Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has recently stated that fans shouldn’t expect the Shi’ar hero Gladiator to appear in the 2014 space-epic’s upcoming sequel, due to Marvel Studios not currently owning him – but that doesn’t mean he won’t appear in future movies along with the rest of his people!
As we’ve already seen with Spider-Man, rights issues can be resolved and deals can be made to bring characters over to the MCU when it’s deemed worthwhile and that could definitely be the case with the Shi’ar.
The Shi’ar (who are a huge group made up of various alien species) have been at odds with the Inhumans on a few occasions in the comic books and a movie based loosely on the War of Kings storyline would definitely be awesome. In that story, the Inhumans inadvertently destroyed a Shi’ar ship during a battle with the Skrulls (who could be replaced by the Chitauri or another species in the MCU), which triggered a war between the two factions.
The Shi’ar have a number of great characters in their ranks who it would be awesome to see in a movie – the aforementioned Gladiator, Vulcan, Deathbird and Araki, for example.
What do you think? Who should go up against the Inhumans in their 2019 movie? Have your say below.
