The Savage Land

Why Marvel should make a Ka-Zar film

Among the Easter eggs from Iron Man 2, many noticed that The Savage Land. When Tony Stark is looking through his father’s belongings in the film, there is a map of Antarctica. There is a possibility that Howard Stark would be searching for Captian America, but he crashed at the Arctic, in the northernmost part of the world.
The Savage Land is said to have Vibranaium. It opens up another possibility. Wakanda is known to be rich with the same material. There might be a possibility that Ka-Zar is now working with Black Panther as an Agent of Wakanda. If Ka-Zar is set, it will become easy to introduce other X-Men character, that fans have been eagerly waiting for.
