Daredevil
[ monish : This article turn back minor SPOILERS forDoctor Strange ]
In a world where each and every Marvel property is combed through to regain any and allreferences , hints , teases , reveals or Easter Eggspointing to any other film or TV show , outcome come up regardless . Even if those outcome are a bit unclear , half - true , or instantaneously proposterous . But as far - fetched as some cameos or connections may seem , there ’s no denying that Marvel has a plan - and where there ’s a architectural plan , there ’s the opportunity to planting seeds early on . Sometimes , veryearly , as is the case withDoctor Strange .
Like other Marvel film before it , Scott Derrickson ’s magic adventure sport one scene in which a handful of likely patient are mentioned as candidates for Dr. Stephen Strange ’s next - level surgical skills . The opportunity to hint at other Marvel characters was n’t missed , and one has emerged as the most important enigma . While it has ( somehow ) been rumored as a tease of the newCaptain Marvelorigin tarradiddle in the MCU , we think it may really be a annoyer of a dissimilar villain … one who seems a no - brainer for the coming Netflix team - up of Marvel’sDefenders .
The Actual Easter Egg
Those who saw the motion picture were likely to overlook the line of dialogue that ’s cause all this uproar , and those who have n’t can experience free to read on without actually having the motion picture spoiled . As the titular Doctor Strange is ready his way to a talk engagement - prior to the fortuity that sends him on his journey of find - he fill the phone call in inquiry from ' Nurse Billy . ' The prospect for Strange ’s next boundary - pushing surgery are : 1 ) an"Air Force colonel who crushed his lower rachis in some kind of experimental armor,“2 ) a"68 - twelvemonth - old female with advanced genius stem glioma,“and 3 ) a"22 year - erstwhile female person with an electronic implant in her mastermind to ascertain schizophrenia - struck by lightning . "
The third candidate , as noted by Strange himself , is interesting . Not just for the rare circumstances of the gimmick and chance event , but the fact that the attached X - Rays forward to Strange ’s earphone are what sends him into his car accident . That accident will likely wipe out any focus on the patient for most moviegoers , but the fact that thefirstcandidate is apparently supposed to make a connection withthe Air Force colonel who suffer a broken back in a suit of armour inCivil War , the final one demand a fleck of extra attention - even if Strange had n’t said so himself .
The Captain Marvel Rumor
It did n’t take long for the verbal description to get some attention , with Captain Marvel mentioned as a possible prospect - a proposition that had film director Scott Derrickson encounter coy ( read up on the whole story here ) . Unfortunately , there are a few job with the rumor that tend to follow the rumor mills and questionings fuel by headline - friendly half - truths . First off : Marvel directors now know that not speak on any potential hints or easter eggs is the company line , yet " no comment " sounds as effective as a ratification to many excited buff .
stick to the facts that we sleep together and wait , the biggest problem is that the patient role and scenario described inDoctor Strangeisn’t just a alteration from the traditional bloodline story for Captain Marvel , but bears almost no resemblance whatsoever . Actress Brie Larson is n’t 22 years quondam ( she ’s 27 ) , and even if a yr or two straits from that point inStrangeto its net setting , it ’s an unnecessarily far cry from the actress who will be at 30 years honest-to-god by the clock time her moving picture hits theaters . Assuming that line is intended as a nod to the armor tests inIron gentleman 2 , the timeline is still unclear , at best ( almost decade would have passed in this single cinema ) .
But that ’s not even the biggest issue .
The most problematic point is that , while a female Marvel character is coming inCaptain Marvel , her origin story has nothing to do with schizophrenia , electronic implants in the brainiac , or lightning . Carol Danvers winds up overtake in an explosion alongside the Kree grinder Mar - Vell , imbuing her genetic code with the dying alien and bless her with his powers . It ’s potential that this origin story might be changed for film , but turn Carol Danvers into a college - of age , schizophrenic young cleaning woman who have great power when she ’s move by lightning would go against every other Marvel picture ’s loyalty to the source material .
Common sense might rule here , stating that this is a totally unlike character altogether , if not a bill mention . But if itisimportant , there ’s a Marvel graphic symbol who suit the description a whole slew better … and who may be headed to Marvel’sNetflixworld in the close future .
Typhoid Mary
Making the assumption thatStrangeis cite an existing character whose comic Bible form is actually stomach from schizophrenic psychosis or a mental disorder , the search bewilder easier , since there are n’t actually all that many to opt from . The lead candidate is a girl by the name of Mary Walker - survey us along , and see if you may spot the similarity and potential for yourself . In the comics , Mary Walker is a normal young woman caught up in the world of New York ’s crime world , work in a house of prostitution frequented by the criminal community - until a atrocious accident sees her left for beat .
But Mary survives , fracture her judgment into three distinct personalities : Mary , the timid , shy product of a puerility of vilification , Typhoid , a sultry , jeopardy - taking and violent femme fatale , and Bloody Mary , a viciously violent and man - hat woman who pushes her unexampled telekinetic / psychical / pyromancy skills to their limits . Now , the motion-picture show mentions the missy having antecedently suffered from schizophrenia , not dissociative personality disorder . But the differentiation between the two can be difficult to descry and diagnose - which paints a bit of a chronicle based strictly on these lilliputian details volunteer .
If a young woman was diagnosed with schizophrenia OR dissociative personality upset -bothtied to strong-arm or intimate abuse in childhood - and given an experimental machine implant inside her brain , there ’s no substantial way of hump what the twist would even be designed todo . We ’re stepping into the science fabrication fringe base on that premise alone , so what would happen if that cow chip was exposed to a rush of lightning ? How would it affect the brain or , more importantly , how would it strike the mental capacity ’s survive divisions between different personalities ?
Marvel’s Daredevil
feign the ( avowedly slight ) details of the speech sound call are even meant to suggest at ANY character , then a young fair sex suffer from schizophrenia or a similar genial disorderliness going through some variety of ' instigate incident ' seems most probable . There ’s also one other detail that helps excuse why Typhoid Mary would be the graphic symbol in question : because she was introduced to Marvel Universe during Frank Miller ’s illustrious run on " Daredevil : The Man Without Fear " … and it was Matt Murdock who almost killed her .
The Defenders' New Villain?
The fact that Typhoid Mary was introduced as a victim - baddie during Miller’sDaredevilrun has made her a top candidate among fans for a character in the hero ’s Netflix series ( even setting aside the fact that she ’s typically one of Kingpin ’s master assassin ) . Keep in mind , Miller ’s game - change run on " Daredevil " also saw the emergence of Elektra , Kingpin ’s rise to a truly chilling bane , the introduction of Stick to Matt Murdock ’s blood story , and even the nefarious ninjas know as The Hand - all of which have now been adapted into the very DNA of theDaredeviluniverse . And that universe is getting bigger by the twenty-four hour period , with other Netflix showsJessica Jones , Luke Cageand the upcomingIron Fistfleshing out Marvel ’s version of New York City .
If Marvelmoviefans were look to finally see some connections between Marvel Television ’s Netflix shows and the Marvel Cinematic Universe , then the New Yorker Doctor Stephen Strange seemed the best candidate . specially since Marvel boss Kevin Feigehas say it ’s all a matter of " timing . “It ’s potential that connection fare without anyone noticing it - not just hinting at their shared location , but outright teasing the newest scoundrel for Marvel’sDefenderscrossover as a young cleaning lady Strange might have saved … had he not get in his accident .
But it is n’t just connective tissue or rooter inspection and repair that nominate this theory compelling , but the story potential it would bring to theDefendersthemselves . We now bed thatSigourney Weaver will be playing the main villainfor theDefenders , and rumors of a Kingpin return decline to die . Even so , there ’s the question ofwho the Defenders will in reality be press in combat . Typhoid Mary would n’t just be up to the task , but would be uniquely - orient to take each Netflix Hero of Alexandria on in their own backyard .
The idea of a sexually - abused char embrace her fury and foretell that no man will ever hurt her again would be a problematical foe for Jessica Jones , as her first time of year handle with that exact same torment . The lightning ten-strike think Matt Murdock is no longer responsible for creating Mary ( that would be pretty difficult to work into Matt ’s clearly heroic nature ) , but her technique in martial arts means she could bloody Matt up all the same . And eventually , how would Luke Cage and Danny Rand fare against an out - of - mastery fervour - curve ball drawing business leader from inside her own brain ? Tough skin and magic clenched fist may not be enough .
Only time will tell if our theory is accurate , or if Marvel really is going way -way- off the board for a new Captain Marvel origin story . And there ’s always the hazard that it ’s a farsighted terminal figure tease , with Typhoid Mary getting a bigger percentage of the spotlight ina future time of year ofDaredevilorJessica Jonesafter it . Or , of course of action , this reference is just in the film to go … interesting .
