Now that the X-Men movie rights are Disney's, how cool is it for the above pictured Juggernaut vs Hulk battle to be depicted in a Marvel Studios produced movie!

[Ogrebear]

We are a long way from a regulator approved deal yet, and even more years from a merged MCU, however , yeah it’d be cool.

Though I suspect Marvel/Disney might keep the universes seperate until they can reboot both.

[Silvermoth]

I'm so glad. I always loved the Juggernaut and thought he deserved to play a bigger role in the universe

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Yeah. Also, since Jugs is empowered by the mystical entity Cyttorak, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the MCU Juggernaut is to be a very fearsome adversary for the MCU Doctor Strange to deal with.

Amazing Adventures #16 Jan 1973
"And the Juggernaut Will Get You... If You Don't Watch Out!"
On the way to their friend Tom Fagan in Rutland, Vermont, Marvel Bullpen members Roy Thomas, his wife Jeannie, Steve Englehart, Gerry Conway, Len Wein and his wife Glynis
are startled into a stop when the Beast jumps into the path of their car. Beast darts into the woods where he changes back into his civilian guise of Hank McCoy
and reunites with his old girlfriend Vera Cantor to tell her that he managed to flag down a car to finish their trip.
Exiting the woods they introduce themselves to the drivers and manage to hitch a ride with them at least to Rutland.

As they drive off, a portal appears and out pops the Juggernaut who is exhilarated that he is back on Earth. However, his time on Earth is short lived as another portal opens
and sucks him back into a mystical void. While hurtling through this void, a voice in the Juggernaut's head explains what is happening.

The voice explains that Dr. Strange's recent visit to Rutland with the Defenders and the Beast currently being in the area has made a mystical anchor between the Juggernaut and Earth.
The voice goes on to explain as the midnight hour draws nearer his connection to Earth would increase due a combination of his enemies, his desire for revenge,
the mystical properties of Rutland, Vermont, and it being Halloween, he will be returned to Earth and revenge against those who have defeated him in the past.

Meanwhile, the comic writers drop Hank and Vera off in Rutland, apologizing that they cannot bring them to Tom Fagan's party because it's invite only.
Hank decides that they can spend the time in Rutland to enjoy the parade before continuing on their travels. When he presses Vera about why he has sought her out,
all she can tell him that she needs a geneticist of his skill with her current problem. Watching the parade, they are confronted by Glynis and Len Wein who have
managed to get invitations for Vera and Hank and ask them to come to the party. Hank and Vera decline as they must continue their travels.

Just then the Juggernaut appears in the middle of the parade and goes on a rampage briefly before he is pulled into a portal once more vowing that he will return once again.
Realizing that Glynis is missing after the attack Len runs off to find her while Hank tells Vera to go to a nearby Motel and check in while Hank goes to investigate.
Changing out of his disguise, the Beast begins tracking the Juggernaut. The Juggernaut reappears in the woods and attacks the Beast.

Completely outmatched against the Juggernaut, Hank escapes and changes back into his human disguise and seeks refuge at Tom Fagan's costume party.
However, having locked onto Beast's emanations, the Juggernaut tracks Hank to the party and smashes through the walls to try and find his foe.
Making a break for it, Hank runs up to the upstairs attic. Hanks feigns being scared when the Juggernaut follows him. When Juggernaut orders Hank to face him,
Hank does pulling off his synthetic mask revealing to the Juggernaut that Hank is really a beast and he was not wearing a costume.
Startled by this realization, the Juggernaut is easily knocked down the stairs by Hank, jarring loose his helmet.

As the clock tolls midnight, the Juggernaut claims that he is doomed and attempts to flee with Beast following not far behind.
In the confusion the comic writers decide to get out of there and continue looking for Glynis. However, their ride is taken by the Juggernaut who tries to flee.
However, when the car refuses to start the Beast resumes his attack. He realizes that as the fight progresses the Juggernaut rapidly ages.
Stopping the fight, the Beast learns from the Juggernaut that his time in oblivion cause him to age rapidly and the only thing that could prevent/reverse this process was his hate.
However, now that the hate had reverted to fear he has begun to rapidly age to oblivion. However, before he can perish, the portal appears once again and sucks the Juggernaut away.

Appearances by the Juggernaut, Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Len Wein, Glynis Wein, and Gerry Conway.
Note: Hank and Vera's travels are continued in Incredible Hulk #161

Agreed! Wouldn't it be fun if they set up cyttorak in a doctor strange movie and hinted at the gem after that? Brilliant

[GigaBalls]

I want to get a badass tattoo of Juggernaut. Anyone got some really good pics of him they think would make for a good Tattoo?

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Totally agree with the notion that a MCU Juggernaut has got to be Hulk's size and a total badass.

[GigaBalls]

Rumors are the Juggernaut is in Deadpool 2 as a huge CGI badass. I can't seem to find any proof though to prove it, but god I'm wishing so hard for it to be true.

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

I second that.

[Silvermoth]

Well I was hoping he would be one of the peeps we see in the first mcu xmen flick but oh well, I’m open. I hope they do him right this time

"Deadpool 2 is just around the corner and so far the only villain we've seen is Cable, but could there be a much BIGGER one?
Jessica presents the evidence on today's Nerdist News!"

Why is no one talking about Juggernaut in Deadpool 2 yet? I loved that they finally got his power levels way up there, instead of the wimp on a character Juggernaut was in Last Stand. Size wise he was up there too. Love to see him go toe to toe with the Hulk or Thor if the MCU and Fox merge happens.

You can catch him crawling out of the pool at the end.
