Marvel might soon make Indian content and says SRK has to be in it

Stephen Wacker, a senior exec revealed the studio's plans to create characters with a real toehold in Indian culture
12 Sep, 2018

How's Marvel and Bollywood for an ambitious crossover?

Speaking to Indian Express, Stephen Wacker (VP, Creative Development, Marvel), has revealed that the studio plans to create more characters "with a real toehold in Indian culture" adding that "Marvel will try for authenticity that can go as far as finding Indian talent. We want to find a way to create characters that have a home in this world so we can bring Indian culture to the core North American Marvel fan. Let them understand a different part of the world too. I think that’s going to be an exciting thing for Marvel. My hope is that the fan in India feels just as much part of the Marvel universe as some kid in New York.”

Walker also revealed that he hopes for Marvel to create an Indian character on par with Black Panther. When asked who they'd cast, he shared, "If we make Indian content, we have to put Shah Rukh Khan. He has to be in it.”

Hey, SRK's got some superhero experience for sure. Who remembers Ra.One? (Juuuust kidding)

Marvel currently has Captain Marvel and Avengers 4 in the pipeline which will put an end to this version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and open doors into a new phase of films.

SRK will be pathetic as a superhero. Instead, Hrithik can be good option as he has the physique and personality as a superhero.

Finally, mankind will be able to better understand and realize the truth of those who came here and taught us so much, mated with sapiens and created superhumans. The true history of this world and human adventure of our distant ancestors that has been deliberately removed from the scribe needs to be revealed to the masses.

@Hanzala - As per your logic, then Jinnah was an Indian because his father & ancestors were from Gujarat, India.

Isn't this a testimony to India's inclusiveness? A member of a minority is not only accepted by the masses as a role model, but is also ratified by neutrql financers. Imagine a Hindu doing this well in Pakistan...

@Hanzala Millions of highly successful migrants including myself are children of refugee parents from Pakistan; We couldn’t be prouder of being Indians. What’s your point about claiming SRK as your own?
