Keke Palmer praises Jordan Peele for his normalization of Black-led stories
Emmy Award-winning actress Keke Palmer will be starring in the upcoming Jordan Peele thriller Nope and, in an interview with PopSugar, expressed fervent enthusiasm for the day that it releases. And while the leading lady remained quiet about further plot details, she gave a particular nod to Peele, who she believes is playing a pivotal role in normalizing Black stories that don’t have a catch to them.
“I just love that he is normalizing Black people being leads and stars in films and it not having to be for particular reasons,” says Palmer. “It’s just, they happen to be Black as opposed to the gag is…”
A good many folk will echo Palmer’s happiness with Peele’s approach; Hollywood has a history of portraying marginalized individuals quite poorly, especially Black people, who historically have been typecast in subservient or threatening roles, among other stereotypes. This is especially true in the horror genre, Peele’s bread and butter, where Black actors have often been cast in “token” roles with very little character development.
Peele himself is very deliberate about normalizing Black-led stories as well, as he once said in a 2019 interview with Colorlines discussing his sophomore film Us.
“It’s important to me that we can tell Black stories without it being about race,” Peele said. “I realized I had never seen a horror movie of this kind, where there’s an African-American family at the center that just is. After you get over the initial realization that you’re watching a Black family in a horror film, you’re just watching a movie. You’re just watching people.”
In Peele’s third venture, Palmer will star alongside Daniel Kaluuya as two siblings who own a horse ranch in a remote Hollywood town. They, alongside other residents, bear witness to an otherworldly encounter.
Nope releases to theatres across the United States on July 22.

X-Men fans debate how big an impact Mutants will have on the MCU
Marvel covers quite the array of universes and throughout the decades the comics have been going, heroes have crossed over into one another’s realms, with Hulk and Wolverine hammering it out and Spider-Man making the odd appearance amongst the mutants as well; but can we ever expect to see this within the MCU?
Disney bought out 20th Century Fox for a staggering $71.3 billion in 2019, allowing many superheroes previously unavailable to Marvel in the cinematic space to finally come home, so to speak. Now, there is the possibility for the current MCU to collide with the X-Men, but just how tricky will it be to navigate, and is it worth the risk? Fans took to Reddit to debate that very question.
The X-Men have been one of Marvel’s most popular creations, and they got their own movies back in the early 2000s, quite a bit before Robert Downey Jr. brought Iron Man to life on the big screen. They had their original trilogy, multiple Wolverine movies — some phenomenal (Logan), some less so (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) — and a reboot of the franchise through X-Men: First Class. Since the release of Iron Man in 2008, the two universes have been running alongside one another at the cinemas but never interacted. That is until we heard the voice of a certain Patrick Stewart in the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Fans wonder just how the rest of the mutants will be introduced to the MCU, will they start from scratch or will they simply pull in the existing characters and their actors as well.
Some want to see a gradual introduction to the X-Men, hoping to eek it out over the next phases for Marvel.
Many posted that they want to see the X-Men and the Avengers’ universes separate still, as integrating them would be tricky and would be hard to satisfy all die-hard fans.
This Reddit user feels strongly about retaining what the mutants stand for as symbols of real-world minorities struggling against bigotry, so phasing them in in a way that allows them to still tell these stories would be important. They even gave their own ideas for just how that could happen.
Many think that with Disney now owning the X-Men, we may see some more Marvel series with these characters in them, just as we have had MCU shows such as WandaVision and Loki.
This user gives a pretty straightforward way of tackling the problem, simply doing a reverse of what has already happened in the comics.
Whatever happens, it is up to the powers that be at Marvel, and we’re sure they have some ideas up their sleeves for how exactly they are going to go about bringing the X-Men into the Marvel Studios fold. We may find out very soon in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness if there is going to be a crossover and whether it will lay out the groundwork for the future of MCU.

Marvel fans are puzzled why Sony is making ‘Madame Web’ over other Spider-Verse heroines
Sony’s Madame Web has Marvel fans perplexed. In the comics, she’s a supporting character to Spider-Man, generally depicted as a blind, elderly woman confined to a life support system. Her powers arise from being a mutant, which gives her precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance, often assisting Spidey with problems he can’t solve alone.
Now fans are busily debating whether she can really carry a solo movie. On r/Marvel there’s a thread in which a consensus is building that Sony should have focused on another heroine. The OP said:
I still find it hard to believe that with all these characters, who have years of solo comics, interesting stories that can be used and a reasonable fanbase, Madame web is the one that sony is most focused on making a movie, I’m not an executive but i would say it was a really bad choice.
Many replies point to Sony having a history of making bad choices, which was perhaps underlined by the terrible Morbius flopping at the box office earlier this month. Morbius writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless are working on the Madame Web script, which doesn’t exactly inspire much confidence.
Others underline that there are many more promising characters to adapt, including the various Spider-Women, Black Cat, and Mayday (with an interesting pitch that’d see Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as her parents).
With Dakota Johnson cast in the lead role, it’s also obvious that the movie’s take on the character will necessarily mean a complete reworking of the concept, at which point you might as well just be making a movie about an original character.
It remains to be seen whether Madame Web is a good idea or not, but let’s face it — after Morbius, Sony has a lot of work to do in making their bizarre cinematic universe of Spider-Man side characters (but no actual Spidey) work.
Madame Web is set to be released on July 7, 2023.
