Chapter 173 - S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Anxiety

Although Aquaman isn't a true god, his demigod body is no less impressive.

Judging by his performance in the movies, even without the army of shrimp soldiers, Aquaman, as the King of the Seven Seas, is superior to Thor in his standard state.

It's worth noting that even though Aquaman, Arthur Curry, is at his best in the ocean, he's still a tough guy on land.

His sheer strength might even allow him to go toe-to-toe with Superman.

However, the 50 million fan value forced Anton to reluctantly give up.

After all, Aquaman's character isn't popular in the current DC Comics, and his fan value is low. Exchanging for Aquaman now for a movie is too costly and might not even be effective.

The Flash is actually a good choice, and he's a second-tier hero in DC Comics, but his price is still too high.

Fifty million Fan Points is a lot. It's hard to get there in one go!

Why is The Flash so expensive?

Anton pondered for a moment, figuring it was probably because of his ability to travel through time.

Time travel is a concept that the Marvel Cinematic Universe acknowledges.

So, if he redeemed The Flash, could he also travel through time?

Then, as a second choice, Green Lantern costs forty million! That's not impossible.

But there's a prerequisite: the Green Lantern movie flopped. In his previous life, it was truly a disaster, forcing Ryan Reynolds to jump ship to Marvel and play Deadpool. Only then did he experience a Rebirth, turning the situation around and making a comeback.

Plus, Green Lantern's popularity in today's DC company is only slightly higher than Aquaman's, neither here nor there.

If he wanted to redeem this guy, Wonder Woman, who is relatively cheaper, would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

As for why Wonder Woman is cheaper than Green Lantern?

Probably because Wonder Woman's power in the second movie was seriously messed up, wasting Gal Gadot's long legs. The system couldn't help but neutralize it a bit.

"Wonder Woman's current fan value is 4.38 million, only 25 million short..."

Anton stared at Wonder Woman's panel, imagining himself disguised as Wonder Woman, and subconsciously shivered.

"Speaking of which, they're all clones anyway!"

A moment later, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild: "It's not unacceptable to get a female clone to play with..."

Anton pondered, then thought about how Thor would appear on Earth soon.

As a member of the gods! Wonder Woman could also be used to compare with Thor?

It didn't take long for another half month to pass.

The Dark Knight was taken off the big screen, with a global box office of 1.42 billion USD.

At the same time, Anton finally steeled himself and made up his mind to film Wonder Woman.

He found Jim and had him set up the crew. At the same time, he found Browning (Screenwriter) to discuss the script.

The script for Wonder Woman was easy to finalize.

After all, the first installment of Wonder Woman in his previous life was a huge box office success, grossing 822 million USD worldwide. Although the plot was somewhat formulaic, it was still considered commendable.

Now, if he followed the same approach, as long as he found the right actress, he could naturally recreate Wonder Woman's splendor.

The remaining 25 million fan points were also a fairly easy target to achieve.

Choosing the right female lead naturally attracts attention.

Also.

The fact that Anton was preparing to film Wonder Woman wasn't exactly a secret.

The first to receive the news wasn't a Hollywood entertainment newspaper, but S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Wonder Woman?"

After receiving the information, Coulson immediately went to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, to Nick Fury's office, to see the one-eyed man.

Based on their understanding of Anton, filming Wonder Woman wouldn't be purely for the sake of company development; there would definitely be a special purpose.

In other words, would there be another superhero in the Justice League? — Wonder Woman.

"Although Superman hasn't appeared yet, we can't rule out the possibility."

Nick Fury's expression was grave.

After the release of Man of Steel, things hadn't gone as they'd hoped. Superman hadn't appeared!

However, to be precise, Man of Steel wasn't a film personally directed by Anton, so it could be considered an exception. After all, Anton was filming Cyborg at the time.

Cyborg, Victor Stone, was a real person who had recently made a big splash.

Now that Anton was preparing to film Wonder Woman, did it mean… that this was a preview Anton was giving to the world?

Just like how Anton filmed Batman and Cyborg?

In other words, after the movie, someone in the real world would play the "protagonist" and appear in the real world!

Nick Fury was always cautious and wouldn't dismiss this idea.

"Keep monitoring, and let me know immediately if anything happens."

Black Egghead instructed, "Also, investigate Anton's film crew, Wonder Woman… Diana Prince. She might be hiding among the crew."

"Understood."

Coulson nodded seriously.

Then, Coulson left the director's office. Black Egghead watched him go, and the door blocked his view. However, the solemn look on his face didn't ease. Instead, he stared at the intelligence on his desk.

"Diana Prince, Themyscira, only women on the island, as the daughter of Zeus, the King of the Gods, and Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons… Greek mythology!"

Black Egghead frowned.

He believed there were aliens in this world, not only because he had seen them with his own eyes, but also because he believed in science.

But now, theology had appeared! Greek mythology!

The daughter of Zeus, King of the Gods, and the Amazonian Queen, Diana Prince!

Was this actually true?

Although Nick Fury didn't believe it, he couldn't definitively say it was false.

After all, Batman, Cyborg, and Green Arrow, those troublesome characters, had appeared one after another!

Nick Fury mobilized S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources to thoroughly investigate Anton's relationships, but they couldn't find any connection between Anton and these individuals…

Now, he wasn't absolutely certain that it was fake.

"Theology…"

Nick Fury looked out the window, thinking of Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, who was probably out there somewhere, fighting for justice as a cosmic police officer.

If this world truly had gods, could they also be from outer space?

Perhaps thousands of years ago, when humanity was still in a primitive, uncivilized state, they had worshipped these powerful extraterrestrials as gods?

Various possibilities flashed through Nick Fury's mind.

He finally sighed.

It was too difficult!

The situation Earth faced was becoming increasingly complex!

The feeling of helplessness was growing stronger! "The formation of the Avengers must be accelerated; the strength of the existing personnel is not enough... The Extremis Virus can enhance the human body; it is necessary to improve it as soon as possible."

Black Bald Head pondered.

Soon.

Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Doctor Octopus (Otto), who had newly joined S.H.I.E.L.D., stood before him.

"Nick, what's going on?"

They looked at Black Bald Head.

"What are your thoughts on the Extremis Virus?"

Nick Fury didn't hide his intentions.

He stared at the people in front of him, making his thoughts clear.

The three of them exchanged glances.

Hawkeye was the first to speak.

"I'm willing to inject the Extremis Virus!"

Fire ignited in his eyes as he said, "I don't want to be a burden, and I don't want Green Arrow, Batman, and those other bastards to keep showing off in front of me."
