Welcome to the MCU Weekly Pulse, a rundown of all the stories throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe that we didn’t cover in News or Features this past week.

Netflix Heroes Join Forces With Classic Hulk At Wizard World

Trial of the Incredible Hulk

Wizard World took place in St.Louis this week and Charlie Cox looked pretty pleased to have snagged a selfie with Hulk version 1.0, Lou Ferrigno.

Fellow Defender Mike Colter, looking pretty buff following his solo turn as Luke Cage, also managed to get in on the action.

Meanwhile, the UK Netflix Twitter feed put out this neat Daredevil motion poster which, frankly, looks like it could be a Bullseye tease.

Daredevil Season 2 is now streaming worldwide on Netflix.

Jessica Henwick Welcomed Aboard Iron Fist By Finn and Gunn

Colleen and Luke

Also in Netflixland, the news of Jessica Henwick‘s casting as Colleen Wing has been well received, with series star Finn Jones posting this on his Instagram page (which is entertainingly subtitled ‘Finnstagram’).

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn also had kind words to say for the actress, which bodes well – Gunn seems to be mostly vocal about the things, or people, he really, really likes and so the following tweet is good news.

Iron Fist is due to land on Netflix in 2017.

Based on the trailers, we can probably assume Joe Russo is just joking and his technical competency is slightly more accomplished.

We also got some green screen shots teasing a face off between Scarlet Witch and Vision.

Additionally there was a bit of rough and tumble to be seen on Instagram with a still of Black Panther laying into Bucky.

Following the completion of the movie, the Russo’s fielded a Q&A session on Facebook. It offers some great insight in to the creative process and production. When given the opportunity to describe the end of Civil War in one word, Joe says it’s “complicated”.

Meanwhile, it’s been a busy week for Doctor Strange with a flurry of revealing set pics across social media. Director Scott Derrickson commemorated the completion of filming with this photo on Twitter.

Elsewhere, a fully Strange’d up Benedict Cumberbatch could be spotted flaunting his get-up and posing for photos in a nearby comic book store.

If you haven’t been wowed enough by the new Doctor Strange costume Cumberbatch has been prancing around in, you can feast your eyes on these exquisitely detailed close-ups.
