Marvel Cinematic Universe: 5 Reasons The Savage Land Should Be Introduced

It's time to address one of the MCU's most weird and wonderful possibilities.

One of Marvel's most interesting locations is undoubtedly the remote and lush location known as the Savage Land. To give a brief history of the Savage Land, it's a prehistoric land in the comic books that is a warm, tropical preserve hidden within the frozen tundra of Antarctica. It was was created during the Triassic period by the alien Nuwali for another alien race, the Beyonders, for observation and research purposes. They used climate-controlling technology to keep it tropical amidst the otherwise freezing temperatures. After they got bored with their observation and research, they left, but they left behind a thriving ecosystem that would continue to exist until modern times. At one point in its history, a group of humans from Atlantis discovered the Savage Land and claimed it as their home. They experimented on the various species living in the Savage Land and forced them to work for them until they revolted. The Atlanteans used the climate-controlling technology to expand the Savage Land. However, they were overthrown by the natives and the expanded areas in the Savage Land remained after they left. It has since developed of its own accord and has encountered a number of key Marvel characters, who have visited for varying reasons, and it has seen some serious action as a result. The Marvel comic books version of the United Nations considers the Savage Land an international wildlife preserve and forbids (or at least tries to forbid) any commercial exploitation of its resources It would be a great subject for a live action movie - of that there is no doubt - and would certainly be a nice addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The rights to the Savage Land, as far as a movie is concerned, currently lie with Fox if we are to believe what we read, but that hasn't stopped Marvel before (as the likes of Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow and Thor all belonged to other movie studios prior to Marvel's usage of them on the big screen). In this article, we'll be looking at five reasons why including the Savage Land in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be great...
