Marvel's WASTELANDERS Casts Stephen Lang as Clint Barton and Susan Sarandon as Natasha Romanoff
Marvel’s Wastelanders is an upcoming podcast series that will feature a post-apocalyptic world. The series will follow various fan-favorite characters with the first being Marvel’s Wastelanders: Old Man Star-Lord. During a recent town hall for the upcoming series, Marvel revealed that Stephen Lang will be playing Clint Barton in Marvel’s Wastelanders: Old Man Hawkeye and Susan Sarandon will be Natasha Romanoff in Marvel’s Wastelanders: Grey Widow. Old Man Hawkeye will release shortly after Old Man Star-Lord while there is no release information for Grey Widow.
In a post-apocalyptic future, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Old Man Star-Lord finds Peter Quill (Timothy Busfield) and Rocket (Chris Elliott) a little paunchier, a little slower, and a lot saltier than they were during the glory days of the Guardians of the Galaxy. They quickly discover the Earth isn’t what it used to be either, when they crash land 30 years after all the world’s Super Villains seized control. The former Guardians are accompanied by a Rigellian Recorder, affectionately dubbed “Cora”, who documents their mission to find the Black Vortex—an ancient relic reported to yield cosmic powers—before guillotine collars bestowed upon them by The Collector snap their necks.
In the barren, desolate wasteland of the mid-west as controlled by Doctor Doom, they encounter the ageless telepath, Emma Frost (Vanessa Williams), outlaw Ghost Riders, Doomwood locals (Danny Glover), and the bloodthirsty Kraven the Hunter. Who will find the Black Vortex first and what will be the price of its power?
Old Man Star-Lord will be available to listen on all major podcast platforms starting June 1.
