As far as the whole Shuma-Gorath/Gargantos debate....

Keep in mind Marvel comics are only allowed to use Shuma-Gorath because they publish the Conan The Barbarian comics. Shuma-Gorath isn't a Marvel creation or, as far as I know, owned by them.

Now, does the comic rights extend to the big screen as well? No idea.

So that might be Shuma-Gorath but they had to change the name for the movie.

They are.

Gargantos is from the comics. Shuma-Gortah is from the comics.

One (Gargantos) is a Marvel character. One (Shuma-Gorath) is a Conan character.

Marvel is allowed to use Shuma-Gorath in the comics because they also publish the Conan comics.

However, that might not translate to cinematic rights for the character. So they might be using Shuma-Gorath, but calling him Gargantos.

Keep in mind this is all speculation.

I've read that Gargantos works for Shuma so maybe they're just throwing us a curveball in the trailer

Its possible Shuma might be the big bad in this movie that wont be revealed til the end

I’ve been seeing this mentioned on Reddit lately. I really, really hope that stays as speculation because that would be kinda lame personally.

That's wild because I don't even go on Reddit. :dead:

Reddit has a habit of stealing shyt from other places and acting like they discovered it.

Only reason I'd believe that's actually Shuma is if he's a one off villain. Now do I personally believe that's him? No I think that's Gargantos and Shuma will appear in his real form at the end of the film to battle Dr. Strange and Wanda maybe. Shuma is too big of a threat to be treated like some phase 1 MCU one off villain:ufdup:

Even if Shuma-Gorath is in the movie, I don't think that's him in the trailer.
