The report prepares that Marvel likewise desires authors and directors to inform the story they wish to inform “while unwinding the requirement for connection with other corners of the MCU.” That’s not always excellent news to this long time Avengers fan, who believes you can’t have the MCU without offering those links.
At the exact same time, Marvel’s intent of enhancing the “rewatchability” of the MCU is definitely an excellent strategy. I can depend on one hand the MCU Phase 4 and 5 tasks I wish to see once again. And if smaller sized story arcs will assist with that, then I’ll more than happy to see it take place.
When it comes to those story arcs, Perez detailed the numerous stories Marvel is dealing with.
Kingpin and Devil’s Reign
The primary tasks:
- Hawkeye season 1
- Echo
- Daredevil: Born Again
- Spider-Man 4
This arc is a street-level story that follows Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) ending up being the mayor of New York City and forbiding superheroes. A Spider-Man 4 report discussed this extremely exact same plot for the unannounced motion picture.
Hulks and World War
The primary tasks:
- The Falcon and The Winter Soldier
- She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
- Secret Invasion
- Captain America: Brave New World
- Thunderbolts
This story arc follows the occasions worldwide after what took place in Avengers: EndgameIt concentrates on world politics and the desire of some nations to get either crucial weapons (Stark tech, vibranium, or adamantium) or develop very soldiers or Hulks.
This story may culminate with a World War Hulk that Perez refers to as an Avengers 4.5 film that will remain in the design of Captain America: Civil WarThe Avengers will need to fight the bad Hulks of the world, consisting of Red Hulk (Harrison Ford), who will appear in Brave New World
I will state it’s not the very first time we’ve found out about a World War Hulk film concerning the MCU.
The Iron Man tradition
The primary tasks:
- Spider-Man: Homecoming
- Spider-Man: Far From Home
- Spider-Man: No Way Home
- Ms. Marvel
- She-Hulk
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
- Secret Invasion
- Armor Wars
- Ironheart
As you can see, this story arc has actually remained in advancement for a while. It concentrates on the tech that Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) produced to safeguard the world. With Tony Stark dead, others will attempt to abuse it through the Department of Damage Control (DODC). Armor Wars and Ironheart will conclude this arc.
The Young Avengers
Marvel has actually virtually validated the reports on this brand-new group through The MarvelsAt the end of the film, we see Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) beginning to hire a group of her own, starting with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). Perez even more information the anticipated group of this story arc:
Several sources have actually currently validated to us that Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, America Chavez, Billy Maximoff, and Tommy Maximoff are anticipated to be a part of the Young Avengers lineup. Some sources have actually discussed other possible members, consisting of Theodore Altman, Axl Heimdallson, Riri Williams, Eli Bradley, and Skaar. These members in specific were just verified by some sources, not all.
These Young Avengers will likely appear in other story arcs.
Wanda
The expert keeps in mind that the WandaVision story continues, and we understand that currently. Agatha is one follow up and VisionQuest is expected to be part of the exact same arc.
Perez likewise declares that Marvel is dealing with a Scarlet Witch motion picture, however there are no information on this standalone Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) story. This isn’t the very first time we hear such a report either.
The Midnight Sons
The primary tasks:
- Blade
- Ironheart
- Marvel Zombies
- Moon Knight season 2
- The extension of Monster by Night
- Other unannounced jobs
This is likewise a story that should not shock anybody staying on top of their MCU reports. This is the story arc concentrating on the supernatural corner of the MCU. The Midnight Sons group may consist of Wong (Benedict Wong) as one of the leaders, in addition to Blade (Mahershala Ali).
Deadpool 3 and the mutants
The MCU is getting more X-Men, although that designator isn’t here. It began with Physician Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Professor X), and it continued with Ms. Marvel (Ms. Marvel), Wakanda Forever (Namor), and The Marvels (Beast).
Deadpool 3 will bring Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) over.
Perez states that Marvel is still dealing with developing a direct connection in between the MCU and the mutants. The X-Men ’97 animated series may offer more information on Marvel’s prepare for the mutants. The characters in the series will work as a standard for the MCU’s mutants, and Marvel has actually prepared a season 2 for the program.
The expert likewise states that Deadpool 3 sets the phase for what follows for the mutants in the MCU’s primary truth, Earth-616.
Marvel supposedly desires the mutants to have a larger function in the Multiverse Saga than at first expected. This may result in a standalone Mutants series on Disney Plus or an X-Men movie that will premiere before Secret Wars
Fascinating is the property of an Avengers vs. X-Men film, which Perez points out. It’s uncertain when such a movie would drop.
The Great Four and other arcs
Perez likewise discusses Wonderful Four as one of the huge stories Marvel wishes to inform in the coming years. It ought to be a “cosmic experience with multiversal ramifications” that will do a great deal of “heavy lifting” leading into Avengers: Secret Wars
The leaker notes other follows up Marvel may be dealing with without connecting them to any of the various arcs of Great Four:
There’s a Wonder Man Television program in advancement that may be connected to Shang-Chi
Kang’s return
Jonathan Majors may be fired, however Marvel will not retire his character. Rather, it’ll concentrate on other stories and take it’s time to develop Kang and the multiverse. Sources informed Perez that Marvel will not resolve Kang once again up until near completion of the Multiverse Saga:
Sources mention that there have actually been conversations and prepare for other multiversal bad guys to step up to the plate in the approaching stages. This is, obviously, in an effort to take control of the multiversal-sized vacuum left in the lack of Kang the Conqueror and his versions. Make no error, for much better or even worse, Marvel eventually still plans to close out the Multiverse Saga with a Kang Variant as their last bad guy.
I will state that all of this sounds terrific, a minimum of in theory. And I hope the concentrate on quality over amount is genuine. Examine out the list of titles. There’s lots of amount there.
As somebody who hasn’t quit on the MCU, I want these story arcs to shine. I likewise desire more connections in between these standalone stories. And I will state that Kang, the character, is worthy of to remain which a recast would certainly work later on down the roadway.
Another thing: while Perez does not speak about the return of Iron Man, I’m much more persuaded RDJ will be back. With Iron Man, I believe Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) will return for another battle. You can’t have these huge stories, all causing a huge Secret Wars ending, and not get the old gang back.
In in between What If …? episodes, you ought to have a look at Perez’s story completely at this link for more information about Marvel’s huge MCU shakeup.
