Yes, in all the ways fans had envisioned the Devourer of Worlds entering the fray, we never imagined him talking with the smooth, Spanish-accented tones of the Zorro star, and yet here we are.

One thing you can say about the MCU news machine is it never gets boring, so expect more updates — like Echo‘s Daredevil crossover breaking hearts as it breaks Netflix continuity — to arrive shortly.
