Ahead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness won't release until 2022 but I'm thinking that Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch will be a villain in the film, following reports that her original accent from Age of Ultron will return. This seems to be nicely in line with the post-credits scene from the WandaVision finale, which saw her practicing astral projection in her mountain cabin and reading the Darkhold. As an aside, this might clear up a question I've had since March about whether she was studying the Darkhold or using it for research. 

Something tells me that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will tie in to the upcoming Armor Wars series, where James Rhodes notices and tries to stop Tony Stark's tech falling into the wrong hands, and it's based on Sharon Carter's phone call after getting her old job back. Remember her phone call where she mentioned having government secrets and prototype weapons available to the highest bidder? It sounds like she's not planning on dropping her Power Broker persona anytime soon. 
As far as who she was talking to, I think the likeliest option is Val, although I could be wrong. A Power-Broker-Val-US Agent/John Walker trio as the "wrong hands" in the Armor Wars description would be an awesome direction to go in. 

We might still be getting a Young Avengers team-up somewhere down the line. Let's look at what we have so far:
1. Tommy and Billy from WandaVision, although they might now be in another dimension 
2. Potentially Torres from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as he now has Sam's old wingpack and could take up the Falcon mantle
3. We know we're getting Kate Bishop in the upcoming Hawkeye series

Thoughts on the Mysterious Benedict Society- Episodes 1 and 2

Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi deserve a ton of credit for writing Sticky's first scene in the pilot episode. In this brief clip, he gets a prize-money check but his parents take it away immediately. This, of course, is a reference to his backstory from the first book where his parents- after his increasing quiz show success- become more focused on the prizes he brings home than on his well-being. Episode 2 features a brief but very well-written moment courtesy of the same duo that beautifully captures Martina Crowe's personality, where she glares around the classroom and causes her fellow students to lower their raised hands. This is very much in keeping with Martina's "don't cross me" book personality.

Why the MCU shouldn't recast T'Challa

T'Challa should remain Chadwick Boseman's role, and- at least in my opinion- casting another actor sort of dampens his legacy in that regard. I don't want this to be the same thing as Bruce Banner (remember Edward Norton in Incredible Hulk ?) or James Rhodes (remember Terrence Howard in Iron Man ?). One, and only one, person should portray T'Challa- the late Chadwick Boseman. Not having a T'Challa in the Black Panther sequel will allow the cast to grieve and mourn and honor- whichever they feel is appropriate- the life and legacy of both T'Challa (when cameras are rolling) and Chadwick (when cameras aren't rolling). Adding another actor as T'Challa- I think- would provide a "back to business as usual" vibe whereas keeping T'Challa's spot in Wakanda empty would allow the grieving process to continue on the actors' terms before, during and after filming, which in this regard I think is important.
