Welcome to Marvelous Disney, the podcast that discusses the most recent doings at one of the more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney Company, which is of course, Marvel Entertainment.

This is Entertainment writer Jim Hill, and my co-host, the amazing Aaron Adams and I, are recording this week's episode on Wednesday, July 28th, 2021.

Big news for this week is that on Monday of this week, July 26th, Principal Photography got underway on Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantum Mania.

And of course, what's significant about this Peyton Reed movie is it's the one that the last episode of Loki effectively teed up.

This is where we actually get to meet the Big Bad that will be driving the direction of the MCU for its next few phases.

And that's going to be Jonathan Major's version of Kang.

So I know that you've already watched the most recent Avengers Assembled, which showed the behind the scenes on the recently wrapped Loki series.

I've just kind of fascinated about what they revealed about Jonathan Major, you know, when he came into the show, like literally he just walked in for the last week of the show.

If you're talented like that, you can just walk in and just blow up a set with your acting and just walk out and everyone goes, what the hell just happened? That was amazing.

That's what I particularly enjoyed about Tom Hiddleston, who was also the narrator of this particular Avengers Assembled.

But at one point they interviewed him on the set and he was just talking about how fascinating it was to watch Major sort of create, you know, he who remained.

For some reason, I just imagine Tom Hiddleston staring slack-jawed as he's watching the acting happen.

And it's time for him to do a line he just spaced out like, what, me? Oh, God.

I was just watching. That was fascinating. Please do it again.

I promise I won't forget my line. And in return, I'm sure the newcomers to that cast probably do the same thing when Tom breaks into Loki.

You just kind of sit there and are transfixed on that amazing performance we've been loving for 10 years plus now.

He was hired when he was 29. He's now 40.

He's been six films, 11 years. He's just getting started.

We'll tell you what folks, we will talk more about Avengers Assembled as part of the feature portion of today's podcast.

Which will come after the news segment and news portion of today's episode of Marvelous Disease being brought to you by Storybook Destinations.
