Future MCU Blueprint In '91 Captain America And The Avengers? - Mandarin, Gatsby & Mad Max

Part 2 - 10 years before Sony's Spider Man ('02) & 17 years before the first MCU installment (Iron Man ('08)) sections of Data East's 1991 arcade video game Captain America And The Avengers look like a blueprint for actor Tobey Maguire's future acting roles, and show a ton of clues to movie projects adapted from Marvel comic book material in the process. Maguire played web slinger Spider-Man in several movies, including the 3 Sam Raimi directed films (2002-2007).

In the game, Scene 3: Challenge From The Bottom Of The Sea ends in the undersea base where the heroes fight Mandarin who was also the villain (played by Ben Kingsley) in MCU movie Iron Man 3 in 2013. William Sadler had a part in this and also played The Grim Reaper in the Bill & Ted's movies with Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter. Coincidentally, the final enemy of the previous level: Scene 2: Target Town was Marvel's Grim Reaper (traditional foe of The Avengers in the comic books).

Another unrelated aquatic themed movie I thought of was 2003 CG animated film, Finding Nemo. Spider-Man Green Goblin actor, Willem Dafoe did voice work in this, as Moorish Idol fish, Gill. I mentioned Mel Gibson & Robert Downey Jr. in Air America (1990) in the last video. Actor Bruce Spence (The Gyro Captain in George Miller's Mad Max movies) voiced the shark Chum in this.

Scene 4 is entitled "The Giant Laser Cannon", the Avengers blast off into outer space to stop Red Skull before he finishes his Moon Base. I thought the title of this level analogous to Baz Luhrmann's 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio starred in this along with Mad Max ('79) Goose actor Steve Bisley. Taking another look at the The word "gat", it can be interpreted as slang for a gun or firearm.
