3 Members of Wu-Tang Clan Were in MCU, And You Didn't Even Notice
The iconic rappers were secretly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe this entire time.
Wu-Tang Clan is a legendary hip hop collective that’s been around for more than 30 years. The members of the group are not only iconic rappers but also true nerds.
Many of the members of Wu-Tang Clan are clearly big fans of Marvel. And what's cool is that a few of them actually showed up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ghostface Killah
Ghostface Killah showed his Marvel love with his alias. He often goes by the nickname Tony Starks, which is a clear homage to Iron Man's real name, Tony Stark. In 1996, he even released an album titled Ironman.
Ghostface Killah was actually supposed to make a cameo in the 2008 Iron Man movie. In a scene featuring the rapper, Ghostface calls our protagonist “Tony Starks.” Although his scene was eventually deleted, you can still find it on YouTube.
The rapper sneaked into the movie in a different way. His song Slept On Tony With Dirt ended up in the film, playing during Tony and Rhodie's flight scene.
Method Man
Next Wu-Tang legend on the list is Method Man, who has a Marvel alias as well, — John Blaze, which he took from Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider.
He made his Marvel appearance in Luke Cage, a Netflix series. Just to clarify, Netflix shows might not be MCU canon anymore, but back then they were kind of treated like they were.
Method Man portrayed himself. In the show, he bumps into Luke Cage in a store, and they have a cool exchange that ends with Method Man going on the radio to perform a song about our bulletproof hero.
In a recent interview with Cassius magazine, Method Man has expressed desire to portray Bishop from X-Men. It actually sounds like a good idea.
RZA
Last but not least, we have RZA, another Wu-Tang legend, who had a unique role in a Marvel show — he was the man behind the camera.
RZA directed an episode of Iron Fist titled Immortal Emerges from Cave, which is one of two highest rated episodes of season 1, filled with fight scenes and action that you can tell had some Wu-Tang flair to it.
