MCU Phase 5 & 6 Slowing Down Plans, Iron Man Return Update | Phase Zero ft. Khleo Thomas
Phase Zero released its weekly episode on Wednesday, this time with special guest Khleo Thomas. Thomas is known to many for his work as Zero in the Holes movie but boasts an impressive acting resumé with titles such as Walking Tall, Shameless, Roll Bounce, and more. Thomas has built a new name for himself as a content creator and streamer, with Marvel falling under his umbrella of interests. Joining Brandon Davis, Jamie Jirak, and Aaron Perine, the topics for this week's episode of Phase Zero included more reactions to Quantumania, the slowing of releases for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and an update stance on Iron Man's return.
"I grew up a gigantic comic book fan, first and foremost," Thomas said. "It came from the cartoons, the video games, the fact there's a Marvel vs. Capcom arcade cabinet in my room, that let's you know how real this is for me! I am one of those kinds of guys. Getting a chance to go to the premieres and see the stars and see all the work that's been put in and feel that energy from all the fans... it's an incredible experience. Fingers crossed, one day the worlds will cross just right, opportunity will meet and preparation will meet, and I get a chance to bring Jetstream to life!"
