This can be a daring statement, however The Marvel Cinematic Universe is, on a philosophical degree, type of the other of “Star Trek.” The MCU, in spite of everything, worships on the ft of a superpowered freelance navy drive who often collect collectively to commit acts of overwhelming fight violence. Superheroes reside in a parallel world of ethical absolutes, nevertheless, so we will relaxation assured that heroes are behaving heroically. Heroes use their entry to miracle applied sciences to construct extra highly effective weapons and improve their super-suits. They not often attempt to enhance drugs, undo capitalism, or reallocate sources; the MCU has never talked about that world starvation is solved.
“Star Trek,” in the meantime, takes place in a world of ethical pluralism. There aren’t “heroes” and “villains” in “Star Trek” within the conventional comedian e-book sense (at the least not when it is working at peak effectivity), however merely individuals who have differing philosophical viewpoints. We continuously take a look at our morals in “Star Trek,” and infrequently use violence to unravel issues. Battle is anathema. Everybody has agreed to forego cash to serve the better good. Miracle applied sciences are used to eradicate need, as replicators can create meals and sources out of skinny air, and faster-than-light ships can ship something anyplace. World starvation has certainly been solved.
Regardless of their diametrically opposed viewpoints, although, many audiences flock to each.
A number of actors have appeared in each the MCU and on “Star Trek,” however one of many extra notable stars of each has been Anson Mount. Mount at the moment performs Captain Pike on “Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds,” and reprised his position as Black Bolt within the MCU’s “Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity.” Mount additionally occurs to know that MCU head honcho Kevin Feige is a large Trekkie and he, as said in a Comedian Con look (Lined by PopVerse), as soon as offered Feige with a particular “Star Trek” reward. Feige is, in accordance with official Paramount documentation, an honorary Lieutenant Commander on the united statesS. Enterprise.

Mount had beforehand performed the position of Black Bolt on the MCU TV collection “Inhumans,” a largely ignored collection that few regard as official MCU canon. In “Multiverse of Insanity,” Mount performed an alternate universe model of the character, and solely appeared in a number of scenes, nevertheless it was Feige’s concept to carry Mount again into the fold, re-incorporating “Inhumans” into the MCU. It appears that evidently Feige talked about that he was a Trekkie when speaking to Mount, and Mount determined to reply with a souvenir for his new boss. Mount was, in spite of everything, a Starfleet captain more often than not.
As Mount mentioned:
“When Feige known as me for ‘Physician Unusual,’ he let it slip that he was an enormous ‘Star Trek’ fan, which I didn’t know. […] So, I had the props division make a really formal honorary fee to the Enterprise, naming him a lieutenant commander, and signed by each myself and Rebecca, they usually put a badge proper in the midst of it, and had it framed and despatched to him. He wrote me and mentioned that he cried when he opened it.”
Rebecca Romijn performs Commander Una Chin-Riley on “Unusual New Worlds,” serving because the Enterprise’s first officer. There isn’t any phrase as as to if or not Feige placed on the Starfleet insignia badge, or if he has visited the set of “Unusual New Worlds,” however he was definitely moved by the gesture. The third season of “Unusual New Worlds” is ready to debut on Paramount+ later this 12 months. The following movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Thunderbolts*,” is due in theaters on Could 2. So far as anybody is aware of, neither franchise is at the moment slated to cross over with the opposite. Though, because the actual nerds know, it is occurred prior to now.
