Patton Oswalt Urges Marvel To Make A Misty Knight & Colleen Wing Movie
Patton Oswalt has expressed that he would really like Marvel to make a movie or show with the characters of Misty Knight and Colleen Wing. With all of the new MCU TV shows and movies being announced post-pandemic, they are among a host of Marvel properties that are not currently in use. Plus, the two characters already have a leg up on many other characters due to their recent live-action interpretations.
Both Misty Knight and Colleen Wing debuted in Netflix’s former corner of the Marvel universe, with Knight (played by Simone Missick) in Luke Cage and Wing (portrayed by Jessica Henwick) in Iron Fist. Undoubtedly, the two were fan-favorites, with Wing in particular carrying much of the series when it came to action and martial arts. They also had a fun dynamic that was established when their two series crossed over back in 2018 (though to be fair, it might have just been the chemistry between Missick and Henwick).
Now, Oswalt has been tweeting that Marvel should make a Misty Knight and Colleen Wing movie or even a TV show of their own. Having appeared in multiple Marvel projects including ABC’s Agents of SHIELD and Hulu’s MODOK, Oswalt is hoping his plea might have some sway with those in charge at Marvel Studios. He also assures that fans would give their support if it were to ever happen. Check out his tweet below:
Oswalt is not wrong, as there is already a lot of support behind his plea. Fans have been sharing their enthusiasm in the comments, with many supporting the idea of bringing back the characters and the actresses from the Netflix series. Of course, at this point, whether or not the old Netflix MCU series are canon might be something that the creatives have to consider.
Oswalt is also not wrong in that Marvel does have some solid characters primed for new projects, especially the ones that were abandoned when the Netflix deal closed. The problem may possibly be that Marvel has so many new TV shows and movies scheduled for the immediate future that it would be difficult to squeeze in a new one that has not already been planned for. However, one never knows who Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, and the rest are paying attention to, as they have been known to indulge in some fan-service in the past. Here’s to hoping this idea gets some traction.
