It's apparently an actual role and not a cameo. Which means the MCU continuity is ruined now.


Also, for Wandavision:

There are actually a few subtle spoilers/hints in the first two episodes.

A magazine Wanda reads mentions Mephisto in a subheader, there is a small hole in the paneling of the house that has a different wall behind it, the watch commercial is for a "Strucker" brand watch, SWORD logos and papers with faded messages, Kathryn Hahn's character is named Agnes and wears a broach that is exactly the same as the one worn by AGatha HarkNES in the comics, when someone says "the devil is in the details" Agnes mutters “That’s not the only place he is," there's dozens of tiny SWORD symbols on things, the voice on the radio is Randall Park from the Ant-man movies, and the department store in the town is named "Wentworth’s"

Yeah, he is playing Gorr the God Butcher and he is the villain of the movie. I'm saying that it's not clear who Matt Damon is playing, since it is an actual role and the villain is cast.

Matt Damon is going to play himself trapped on the remnants of Asgard and utterly bewildered by everything that is going on.

In the post-credits sequence he'll be rescued by Deadpool who apologizes for accidentally grabbing "the wrong Dogma guy"

I mean, the phony in universe advertisments have some pretty clear references to Wanda's past so far. The Stark Brand Toaster starts beeping a menacing red and takes forever to "pop" almost like something else she'd have seen with Stark branding on it as a child (it's a bomb, the toaster is her memories of being trapped with a bomb that doesn't explode). The watch is (Baron von) Strucker branded with a Hydra symbol on it. Presumably we'll get an Ultron reference in the next episode.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There's a LOT of little easter eggs in the episodes so far. In the Bewitched intro there's references to Wonder Man, Grim Reaper, and Bova Ayrshire. Its hard to know if they mean anything or are just there for the comic nerds to appreciate but there's a lot and some of it is certainly gonna come back around.

I also keep rewatching the Marvel Studios intro because there's clips in there I don't really recognize. I wonder if I'm just not remembering them or if they're teasers for upcoming stuff.

That's definitely one outcome but based on my speaking with middle-aged vets he would be a neolib that talked about healing America and the Constitution while voting for the usual gang of Third-Way geriatrics who play footsies with the authoritarians under the table.

There's no clear answer because Captain America has varied massively over the years. He's been everything from a jingoist flag-bearer to an objector to the government to a far-right rear end in a top hat and everything in between. Generally the one defining trait he has is "unwavering in his convictions."

Ultimates Cap was a guy likely to post on Freep or mention to someone how Rhodey is 'one of the good ones'. He also had a premarital sex and produced Ultimate Red Skull

Then there was Nazi Hydra Cap.

Captain America has the exact opinions of whoever is writing him. Interestingly he's always correct about everything!

Some of his most defining stories in the past few decades were probably:

Civil War, where he objected to the Superhero Registration Act and lead a rebellion against it. It ended up with him being beaten up by police and firefighters and then being assassinated on the steps of a courthouse after a lovely reporter yelled at him for not having a MySpace.

The Winter Soldier story which is similar-but-different to what you see in the movies and ended with Bucky taking over for Cap after the aforementioned 'shot on the courthouse steps' thing.

Ultimate Cap who was a right-wing shithead who screamed about "This A on my helmet doesn't stand for FRANCE"

The time he got turned into a Nazi via magic world-retconning.

.. he really hasn't a great decade TBH. He is often good as a supporting character but most of his recent solo stuff has been kinda there. (And a good chunk of that time was spent with Bucky or Sam as Captain America instead.)
