for Rita Wayword in Casting The Mojoverse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Suggested by jaredkirschenbaum
The Mojoverse is a universe inhabited by all kinds of bizarre aliens, and chief among them are the "Spineless Ones", a race of yellow jelly-men. One of the Spineless Ones, Mojo, created/colonized a planet and called it "Mojoworld", where he hosts an interdimensional reality show featuring a cast of eccentric combatants fighting for their lives. The Mojoverse and its cadre of characters appear every so often in X-Men comics. Sometimes, the X-men are transported to the Mojoverse and forced to compete in the battles royale. Other times, a resident of Mojoworld takes refuge on Earth and joins a team like the X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, Freedom Force, or Brotherhood of Mutants. Will the Mojoverse characters make an appearance in an X-Men movie? Well, one already has, and even name checked Mojoworld. But in the MCU, there's more than enough room for another universe with a planet ruled by a sadistic TV producer, whose contestants regularly warp to the main reality and vice versa. Hell, they can do a Mojoworld movie. It can completely work on its own starring these characters. However, it would not be surprising if something like the New Mutants or Generation X got a series and then spent a season on Mojoworld. Or, even if every so often, without warning, a couple of characters are whisked away into the Mojoverse for an adventure, and then returned to the original storyline. So, here are the main Mojoverse characters and who should play them.
