Captain America: New World Order is currently filming in Atlanta, with the movie putting Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson front and center, finally bringing back Tim Blake Nelson and Liv Tyler from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, and boasting Harrison Ford as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who is now the President.
The plot looks set to move the wider MCU story on in a big way, and some pictures from the set have fans convinced it’s also going to set up the X-Men. Work is currently underway on an island set, with the theory offering that this is what’s left of the Celestial Tiamut from Eternals:
It’s also said this island will eventually become a source of adamantium as well as the MCU’s version of Genosha, the comics’ independent nation of mutants. That’s a lot of speculation, though if fans think Tiamut might lead to the creation of the franchise’s canonical Wolverine, they may be barking up the wrong tree.
A very subtle Easter Egg in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law showed a news story saying “making his bombshell debut in Deadpool 3 next year.
We doubt Jackman will become the official MCU Wolverine, but at this point all bets are off surrounding the eventual arrival of mutants and the formation of the X-Men. Either way, we’d love to see at least some consequences of a humongous statue emerging from the ocean and how the world reacted to it.
Captain America: New World Order hits theaters on May 3, 2024.
