Here’s showrunner Jac Schaeffer talking to EW about it:

"There were early conversations [about Hulkling]," Schaeffer said. "[Eddie] was originally called Teddy because we were looking at the artwork and thinking about that. That was a Marvel decision to not have him be Hulkling for the purposes of our show. Within our show, he is not Hulkling…but we pivoted to Eddie because he is named after a person that is important to the writers' room. It wasn't sort of teasing the fans, it was one of those lovely tributes to somebody who matters to us."

So when something wild happens he can break the 4th wall and say ‘wow’

“I really wanted to include the character of Madisynn because I think she’s so deeply funny, and she talked about Jake the goat,” Schaeffer recalls. “We were all banging our heads against the wall trying to figure out, ‘How do we make the goat our literal and figurative gateway to getting Madisynn on the road?’ and it just didn’t work. It was shoe-horning. And I had to let that go.”

Obviously this is marketing material, but I think it's interesting to see in this video how the practical set really looked like. No greenscreen hell.

Deadpool & Wolverine arrives on Disney Plus on November 12, 2024, and Marvel Animation’s What If…? returns for its highly anticipated What If Season 3 with daily episodes beginning on December 22. Heading into 2025, Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premieres on January 29. The original, live action series, Daredevil: Born Again launches on March 4. Ironheart also debuts on June 24.

From Marvel Animation, Eyes of Wakanda launches on August 6 and Marvel Zombies will arrive in time for Halloween in October 2025. Finally, the original live-action TV series, Wonder Man, will be released in December 2025.

The success of Agatha All Along proves that great storytelling can trump big budgets in Marvel Studios projects.

Finally got around to watching “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” and it would have been so much better if Isaiah Bradley’s story had been the first episode, or a stand-alone movie. Instead it’s just told in exposition. If you go read his backstory, it is a pillar of the F&WS plot. Disappointing that an interesting chapter of this universe is confusingly meted out in bits and pieces across episodes. Here’s hoping his “prequel” eventually gets told.

As an aside — am I really supposed to believe Falcon doesn’t get paid the big bucks and can’t afford to pay to fix up his sister’s boat?
