Marvel Cinematic Universe will bring more characters to the fold after Avengers: Endgame and Deathlok might be one of them.
According to the folks over at Deadline, Marvel Studios may be planning to use the character "soon." Details are scarce about how they will go about that, but it looks J. August Richards, who played the character in Agents of SHIELD, is ready to make his comeback.
The actor took to Twitter to express his excitement to reprise his role. Check out his tweet below.
Deathlok was featured in the first and second season of the ABC series. His departure from the show left the door open for a potential return. In fact, Agents of SHIELD even teased the possibility of multiple versions of the character.
It is unclear what Marvel Studios has in mind for Deathlok though. The report was interpreted as a potential jump to the big screen. He came close to starring on his own film back in the 1990s, but the project was scrapped and was never revisited again.
After a few appearances in animations, his live-action debut in Agents of SHIELD was the biggest adaptation that involved the character. However, it looks like this might change soon.
Should we be excited about the arrival? Deathlok is a pretty cool character. Some might say he is Deathstroke, Deadshot, and Deadpool rolled into one.
Created by Rich Buckler and Doug Moench, the character was introduced in 1974, the same year Wolverine and The Punisher made their debut. However, from that point on, Deathlok went through a lot of reintroductions and revamps, which resulted in four versions of the character.
The original version was Col. Luther Manning, who was killed in a war but was revived in a lab in a post-apocalyptic future, which transformed him into a one-man army. Deathlok lost one eye and has two metallic arms. He can even time travel, so he has that Winter Soldier and Cable going on too.
