COMIC REEL: Rumor Possibly Reveals Odin's "Thor: Ragnarok" Role; "Civil War" Directors Explain Spider-Man's Absence

THOR: RAGNAROK

Geek.com has a rumor regarding Odin's fate. At the end of "Thor: The Dark World," it was revealed that Loki had taken Odin's place, leaving the Allfather's actual fate a mystery. An unnamed source has shared a rumor stating that Odin will have "fled Asgard for Midgard," or Earth, where he will be seen on the street as a "hobo" and warning of the impending apocalypse. So far it's been reported that most -- or all -- of "Ragnarok" will take place off-Earth.

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

While speaking with IGN, "S.H.I.EL.D." showrunner Jed Whedon spoke about the Secret Warriors and when they will show up on the show -- especially since the team's name was used to advertise season three of the show.

"When the word is put on a poster, it creates an expectation," said Whedon. "We feel a duty to the Cinematic Universe to not hyper-accelerate how many people have powers, and when I say 'duty' I also mean we have a mandate to do that. We don't want it to be there's a thousand people with powers with a show that at its heart is about what it's like to not have powers in a world with powers."

Returns to ABC on March 8

AQUAMAN

Warner Bros. has revealed the logo for "Aquaman."

ARROW

The CW has released a trailer for the second half of "Arrow's" fourth season.

While speaking with CBR, showrunner Marc Guggenheim spoke about the influx of mysticism into "Arrow's" fourth season.

"Each season has sort of required of us to come up with a theme or come up with a central concept behind it," said Guggenheim. "In Season Two we sort introduced the idea of metahumans, in Season Three it was the League of Assassins. We were looking for something for Season Four and I think, you know, we always get to a point in the previous season where we start talking about the next season. We got to a point in Season Three and we were talking about the lazarus pit and we were talking about R'as al Ghul and there's this idea of mysticism that we really haven't a) explored on the show apart from the lazarus pit but b) fits very much into the voice of the show, and the take and tone of the show. If you go back and look at like, I think it's episode 3x15, Oliver basically says, 'I've seen some stuff you can't explain.' That was us sort of -- we love to plant a flag and say, 'Look for that next season.' And that's when we knew what we were gonna do in Season Four."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

That Hashtag Show has a potentially major spoiler from an unnamed source claiming that the Russo brothers have filmed three more death scenes for "Civil War" -- some of which are meant as misdirection. The rumor states that the scenes filmed were for Falcon (Anthony Mackie), War Hammer (formerly War Machine, played by Don Cheadle) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). This is similar to "Age of Ultron" when death scenes were shot for both Hawkeye and Quicksilver, and the latter was used. The source claims that one of the three characters will be severely wounded in the middle of the movie (a shot from the trailer does feature Iron Man cradling an injured War Hammer in his arms).

During a Q&A hosted by Collider, Anthony Russo revealed why Spider-Man has been absent from "Civil War" promotional materials.

"Part of the reasons of what was so secretive was that the deals were always lagging slightly behind how we were using the character" said Russo as transcribed by IGN. "We were always in danger of upsetting the deal -- there were still sensitive issues going on between the two studios that they needed to agree on. When we were casting Tom Holland, when we were screen-testing him for the movie there was a whole very involved kind of process that was under the radar and secretive, because of the fact that it was still a sensitive business issue...The reason why I preface that is we're still kind of in 'deal zone.' The reason why we still won't talk about [the costume] is that Marvel and Sony still have to work out what uses they have for the character, on a promotional level, on a commercial level. There's still complications as far as that goes that involves business deals."

"We've been to the bottom of the ocean. We've been to ancient Greek mythology, we've been to the past and future with the Flash, we've been to the digital world with Cyborg. We still got to go to space. So the Green Lanterns and the Green Lantern Corps are coming to join the Justice League universe," Johns said in the special.
