Producers finally rope...
Patton Oswalt has gone full Tatiana Maslany on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., as the quintuplet Koenig brothers. That wasn’t his first time working for Marvel, though.

Vincent D’Onofrio has a long history of playing memorable villains. He is easily one of the best things about the adaptation of Marvel's Men in Black. D’Onofrio plays Edgar, a cranky alien cockroach who traverses Earth inside the ill-fitting and slowly decomposing skin of an abusive farmer. D’Onofrio inspiring performance manages to be gross, distu...

May 1, 2021 · Theory: Mariah Dillard Is Miriam In Civil War. There is a possibility that Woodard's two roles could be the same and allow the Luke Cage villain to retroactively appear in Captain America: Civil War. Mariah's political power and influence in Harlem are increasing around the same time that Captain America: Civil War takes place.
Alfre Woodard was in Captain America: Civil War as Miriam Sharpe, the mother who met Tony in front of the elevator and blames her son's death on Iron Man and the Avengers. She is also casted as Mariah Dillard in Luke Cage. The latter is a pretty big role I'm assuming as she's a big baddy in Luke's comics and she's listed as a series regular.
