He's great for Walker's early appearances. Whether he's up for later developments, I couldn't say.
I know that Kang is the bad guy in the new Ant man movie but there are several references to him in Loki. Kang is a time traveler and it has been said that this series is a gateway to the rest of the phases. Might we get a glimpse of Kang at some point?
Most are suspecting Kang is that middle time-keeper either in those cartoons or on the wall in the office. Both look suspiciously like Jonathan Majors who is the actor playing Kang. Nothing is confirmed though so far. Could be coincidence.
Review embargo has been lifted for Black Widow. Currently sitting at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the reviews seem to indicate this is an average MCU-entry. If you want to avoid spoilers you may want to stay off the fan sites for the time being. The movie releases in theaters and Disney+ Premium Access on July 9.

No spoilers for this episode of Loki, but there is a pretty significant post credits clip that you should hang around for this time.
I didn't mean to imply that this is a bad film, and I agree that the reviews have been positive, but it doesn't sound like this entry is an upper-tier MCU film. I think this is a movie that's going to do well and get people into the theaters, which is great, but I think when it's compared with the other MCU entries it will be comparable with Dr Strange or Captain Marvel - good movies, but not great.
So who will be seeing it in theaters and who will fork over the $30 for the Disney+ Premier Access? My wife and I talked about it last night and we're going to spring for Premier Access - by our math it's cheaper for premier access than to see a movie in the theater.
One review called it the best MCU movie because for the first time there's not a reason to push an overall narrative down the road. (I guess the credit scene is really good but still not setting up future team action).
Another said the best spy-action since Winter Soldier (but there aren't more of those anyway).
Most reviews love it but express a letdown with the last act CGI throwdown.
We'll see it in the theater but I just like going to the movies. My wife, kids, and I have gone to basically every Marvel movie as a family for a while. Honestly if we go on cheap Tuesday's it's pretty affordable.
I get kind of annoyed with reviewers about this. There is a formula for Marvel movies and every one ends with CGI punching. Just deal with it.
Let me also say I think this is the best single episode any Marvel TV show has put out.
Interesting. Good to hear, especially after REALLY not liking the last episode, I'm really hoping for an uptick.
I love me some $5 Tuesdays at Marcus Theaters with free popcorn for everyone and discounted other snack deals. It's tough to beat. Combine that with buying all my tickets through Fandango where you get a free $5 coupon every 4 tickets you buy through there (even $5 ones), also taking advantage of their different holiday special gift card deals (example: buy $25 gift card, get $5 card free), and lets not forget their own rewards program where you earn movie dollars. They practically pay me to go to the theaters with my family. Moral of the story, there is still cheap options of going to the movies if you look for them.

Loki's groinal area disagrees.
