Sun, 06 Aug 2023 20:31:21 GMT en-US hourly 60 Loki may soon explain a multiversal plothole involving both the MCU and Sony's Spider-Verse. As has been seen in the current Multiverse Saga, some characters can freely travel the multiverse in the MCU without any consequences or repercussions, while others have experienced more violent symptoms as has been seen in the animated Spider-Verse movies. However, a new theory suggests that Loki season 2 will offer new insights regarding the effects and dangers of multiversal travel.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 20:31:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-theory-spider-man-multiverse-plothole/ Scarlet Witch was by far Marvel’s Phase 4 most powerful character, yet Wanda could not beat Thanos in either Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame. Years before Marvel Studios could use the X-Men, Captain America: The Winter Soldier introduced Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, who in this version could not be described as mutants. As a result, a lot about Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver was changed for the MCU, including how Wanda's powers work.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:30:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/scarlet-witch-avengers-endgame-thanos-weaker/ The decision to introduce so many new faces to the MCU Phase 5 could become a major problem for the heroes down the road. Over the last several MCU releases, Marvel has introduced a huge number of characters, particularly many young characters. From Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to young Prince Toussiant T'Challa (Divine Love Konadu-Sun), Marvel is expanding its roster and giving fans even more heroes to love.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 17:40:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-phase-5-kid-introduction-future-hero-problem/ Ever since the announcement of the Fantastic Four reboot in 2019, fans have been scrambling to discover who will be cast in the main roles, including Johnny Storm, a.k.a the Human Torch. Over the last four years, rumors have flown about what actor will be chosen as the classic, fiery hero. The Fantastic Four have been staples in Marvel releases ever since the beginning. From the original film released in 2005 to the reboot in 2015, these characters have been beloved, even though the movies themselves weren't widely praised.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 17:01:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/fantastic-four-johnny-storm-actor-rumors-ranked/ Several Marvel Comics villains have good chances of making appearances in Venom 3. With a third solo film for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock already on the horizon, it’s inevitable that at least one more villain from Spider-Man’s corner of the Marvel Universe will get the live-action treatment. And if the last two movies are any indication, more than one may be on hand.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 16:00:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/venom-3-best-villain-options/ Loki season 2 has a difficult trial ahead of it regarding the multiverse fatigue that appears to have crept up in the MCU. Loki left a lasting impression with many viewers due to its far-flung multiversal plot, and its more personal story of the 2012 version of Loki learning what his life would have been like had he been in the main MCU timeline, instead of being pruned from his own by the TVA. As one of the highest-rated and most popular Disney+ Marvel shows, prospective viewers are naturally excited to see a follow-up season, especially after the Loki season 2 trailer teased an adventure through time as well as the multiverse.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 15:31:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-story-tease-multiverse-risk/ Spider-Man has had some amazing big-screen adventures, but he has also occasionally dropped the ball from time to time. As the flagship character of Marvel Comics, Spider-Man would swing into animation, toys, and video games before finally landing on the big screen in 2002's Spider-Man. Since then, Spider-Man has stood as one of the most beloved big-screen superheroes of all time, with 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home even bringing Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland's Web-Heads together in a true love letter to Spider-Man.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 14:50:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/spider-man-movies-wrong-mistakes/ Since the post-credit scene of Iron Man in 2008, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury has been an integral Marvel Cinematic Universe character, and here is every one of his appearances ranked. Fury first appeared in Iron Man as the Marvel Comics superspy responsible for bringing together the live-action version of the Avengers. A year after Iron Man's release, Jackson signed an unprecedented nine-movie deal with Marvel Studios, solidifying his future career as the character.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 14:21:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/all-13-nick-fury-appearances-in-the-mcu-ranked/ Seven weapons tied to Thor’s arsenal of the Marvel Universe are still missing from the MCU. Over the years, Marvel Studios has incorporated a number of important concepts from Thor comics to the MCU, including key allies and enemies, dimensions, locations, and of course, the character’s weapons. Two in particular have even fueled entire storylines.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 13:40:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/thor-weapons-missing-from-mcu/ Deadpool 3 received a massive spike in popularity and hype when set photos and videos revealed a comic-accurate costume for Wolverine, and a subtle detail on his suit may hint towards a wild MCU cameo. Despite Deadpool and Deadpool 2 being created by Fox, Disney's acquisition of the company - including its film rights for several Marvel characters - means that the third installment will be an official entry in the MCU. Of course, Deadpool being who he is, the character's introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is poised to be filled with fourth wall breaking and absurdist meta-humor.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 12:40:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/wolverine-mcu-suit-makes-deadpool-3-theory-more-likely/ The MCU has timeline problems, but Marvel's Phase 5 introduced the worst timeline botch since Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man cockily kicked off Kevin Feige's sprawling franchise. Some of those problems are somewhat inevitable: after 40 releases, the level of continuity homework is beyond the capability of any creative team, so it makes sense that some things slip. That is exacerbated when you bring in things like Avengers: Endgame's 5 year time jump, MCU post-credits scenes seemingly appearing out of linear order, and Marvel's more recent attempts to avoid outright stating within releases when their events are actually happening.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 12:31:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-timeline-secret-invasion-endgame-mistake/ Since the franchise's inception, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced a veritable bounty of Marvel characters into its shared universe, although the studio's timing isn't always perfect. As inarguably the biggest franchise in cinema, the MCU features a truly staggering roster of characters. Since its inception in 2008, it has adapted a number of iconic Marvel heroes and villains into live-action, as well as a few more obscure figures for good measure. However, it doesn't always introduce these characters at the optimum moment.

]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 12:20:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-characters-introduced-wrong-time/ The list of MCU movies that have made over a billion dollars at the box office includes Avengers films, sequels from franchises like Iron Man, and the beginning of new series like Black Panther. When The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises both broke the billion-dollar barrier in the same year, such a box office milestone was very rare. While billion-dollar movies are still the exception rather than the rule, the MCU’s success has raised the bar when it comes to superhero movies’ box office results.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 21:50:17 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-movies-made-over-billion-box-office/ Despite the delays, Marvel Studios’ Blade movie doesn’t seem to be leaving the MCU slate anytime soon. The character of Blade was originally made popular by the Wesley Snipes trilogy in the late 90s and early 2000s. The idea of a Blade reboot was then thrown around for years, but it was finally made a reality when Marvel regained the rights to the property from New Line Cinema in 2012. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed at San Diego Comic Con 2019 that the iconic vampire hunter was coming to the MCU, with actor Marhershala Ali set to play the titular role.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 17:30:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/marvel-blade-movie-cancelled-updates/ Captain America is one of the MCU’s founding characters, and these amazing cosplays do the iconic hero justice. Since his franchise debut in Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America has gone on to make numerous appearances in the MCU including his own trilogy and every Avengers team-up movie. With every movie, it also means that a new version of his classic suit is revealed.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 17:10:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/best-mcu-captain-america-cosplay/ Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for having a villain problem that it hasn’t really fixed in over a decade, it has introduced various villains who earned the hate of the audience due to their evil or controversial plans. The MCU has become the biggest connected universe in the superhero genre, more so now that it’s also covering TV shows linked to the movies, and as such, it has introduced a variety of characters – heroes, allies, and villains, whether human, alien, or some interesting mutations. The MCU’s biggest strength when it comes to characters is its heroes, but when it comes to villains, it hasn’t exactly been the best.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 16:00:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/most-hated-mcu-villains/ While Eddie Brock didn't get to take part in Spider-Man: No Way Home in the way fans expected, a new Venom 3 fan trailer depicts the Symbiote against the web-crawler. The character who began Sony's Spider-Man Universe is less than a year away from finally returning as Venom 3 started production this year. Prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike going into effect, Tom Hardy's third film had commenced filming in Spain, with Kelly Marcel directing Venom 3, after having written the first two installments.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 15:41:16 GMT https://screenrant.com/venom-3-fan-trailer-spider-man-no-way-home/ Harrison Ford’s rumored Captain America: Brave New World story can provide the actor with a new franchise role. The American actor is an iconic Hollywood action star with leading roles in two iconic franchises, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Having not played the titular character since 2008, Ford recently returned as Indiana Jones for a final time in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Though his age might mean he’ll have to step back from stunt work, the actor has no intention of retiring anytime soon.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 15:30:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-red-hulk-harrison-retirement-franchise-return/ Although she wasn't introduced until Phase 3's Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers is one of the MCU's first chronological superheroes, and her story has seen her become one of the most powerful characters in the franchise. Brie Larson debuted as Carol Danvers in 2019's Captain Marvel, set in 1995 but released between Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Captain Marvel explained Danvers' absence from the MCU's previous adventures, though the question as to exactly what she was doing during the thirty years between Captain Marvel and Endgame is still a hot topic of discussion.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 14:40:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/captain-marvel-complete-mcu-timeline-explained/ As the first and one of the most prominent superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is no surprise that Iron Man has a wide range of heroic moments in the franchise. Debuting in 2008’s Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr.’s iteration of Tony Stark captivated viewers with a combination of strong characterization, pathos, and accuracy to the comic book source material, but this was only the beginning for his definitive portrayal of the Armored Avenger. Four years and one sequel later, Iron Man joined the ensemble cast of The Avengers, a film that changed the Hollywood landscape and cemented superhero films as an A-list genre.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 14:00:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-iron-man-most-heroic-moments/ The reveal that Wolverine is returning to Marvel's movie landscape is an exciting one, but the Deadpool 3 spoiler leaks are going too far. Deadpool 3's cast is led by Ryan Reynolds as the movie's title anti-hero, and Hugh Jackman as a version of Wolverine described as being different from the one that died in 2017's Logan, which appeared to be the actor's swan song at the time. With Jackman back in the most famous role of his career, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to open the doors to Fox's X-Men franchise in a big way, as evidenced by the announced characters that will return from Fox's Marvel movies.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 13:30:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/wolverine-deadpool-3-spoiler-leaks-too-far/ Bucky Barnes is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's super-soldier heroes, and has been one for some seven decades. Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) first appears in the MCU alongside Steve Rogers in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, with the two best friends fighting side-by-side in World War II after Steve becomes Captain America. Though Bucky seemingly dies after falling from a train in the movie, he returns decades later un-aged in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Bucky having become the brainwashed HYDRA assassin known as the Winter Soldier.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 13:00:22 GMT https://screenrant.com/how-bucky-survived-70-years-mcu/ If Thanos had lost in Avengers: Infinity War, and the Avengers had been able to stop the Mad Titan, the current world of the MCU would look very different. Marvel Studios' first three Phases culminated in 2018's epic crossover event, Avengers: Infinity War, bringing together all the MCU's heroes in a battle against Josh Brolin's Thanos. Although he was first teased in 2012's The Avengers, Thanos began to embark on his mission to bring balance to the universe in Infinity War, seeking the Infinity Stones, which would allow him to wipe out half the universe's population. He eventually succeeded, but had he lost, the MCU would look very different today.

Despite being an alien, it’s made abundantly clear throughout Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 that the MCU villain is fixated with Earth culture. After all, he used human civilization and the planet’s ecology as the basis for so much of his work.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 12:11:15 GMT https://screenrant.com/guardians-galaxy-high-evolutionary-mister-sinister-earth-setup/ The Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchises in cinema, but what exactly its future will look like in Phase 7 of the MCU remains to be seen. Since its very beginning, it has been clear that the MCU is a franchise that looks ahead. Even in its first movie, Iron Man, the MCU was laying the groundwork for its future as a shared universe. With each new release, the franchise's story grows, building the foundation for the MCU's next big story and beyond.

]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 12:00:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-phase-7-bold-predictions/ Sony's Venom franchise helped the MCU in a variety of ways. Despite being part of another studio and universe, the beauty of the multiverse and Marvel Studios' ongoing Spider-Man partnership with Sony have created ties between the two franchises nonetheless. As a result, the Venom movies have secretly helped the MCU over the years, in ways both direct and indirect.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 23:27:26 GMT https://screenrant.com/sony-venom-mcu-helped/ A cut meeting between the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and White Vision (Paul Bettany) in Marvel's WandaVision has been revealed. As seen in the show's finale episode, the Hex Wanda Maximoff created came apart following her evolution into the Scarlet Witch. After Wanda released her hold over the town following her defeat of the witch Agatha Harkness, the resurrected White Vision was nowhere to be found, having left during the chaos. However, that wasn't how the show was originally supposed to end.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 19:31:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/wandavision-scarlet-witch-vision-cut-reunion/ The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline update makes Nick Fury's DNA experimentation reveal in Secret Invasion worse. Marvel Studios' first Phase 5 Disney+ series marks the return of Samuel L. Jackson's beloved MCU character. This time, however, he comes back to Earth a significantly changed man. After missing much of Phase 3, Fury's comeback in Secret Invasion is motivated by a new crisis. After failing to deliver on his and Captain Marvel's promise to find the Skrulls their own home planet, he is faced with the difficult job of stopping Gravik and his followers from taking over Earth and claiming it as their own.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 17:01:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-timeline-secret-invasion-nick-fury-avengers-dna-twist-harvest/ Rumors about who will play the leads in Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot are in full force as the film’s release gets closer. With WandaVision showrunner Matt Shakman confirmed to direct and a slated 2025 premiere, it’s about time that Marvel casts their final choices for Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. Anticipation has been high for the casting announcement of the MCU’s Fantastic Four ever since the Fantastic Four reboot was confirmed, and a plethora of rumored names have been circulating since then.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 15:40:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-fantastic-four-cast-rumors-explained/ After his debut in season 1 of Loki as the Kang variant He Who Remains and as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Jonathan Majors was charged with domestic violence and assault, raising big questions for the future of the MCU. After the defeat of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, the MCU turned to its next big bad, hiring Jonathan Majors to play the time-traveling, multiversal villain Kang the Conqueror (and all his variants). However, serious charges leveled at the actor now put Disney and Marvel Studios in a tight spot.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 15:30:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/jonathan-majors-mcu-kang-actor-assault-charges-explained/ Several new heroes have been introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years, but Marvel Studios hasn't confirmed a future for many of them. In the wake of 2019's Avengers: Endgame, several of the MCU's most beloved heroes had either died during the battle against Thanos or chosen to hang up their capes and retire from the Avengers. This meant that the MCU's Phase 4 had the perfect opportunity to introduce new heroes to the franchise, not only expanding the world of the MCU but also debuting legacy heroes for the franchise's most iconic characters. Introducing so many new characters comes with its own set of problems, however.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 14:30:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/new-mcu-characters-no-marvel-future-yet/ One of the upcoming movies from Sony's Spider-Man Universe can make the studio's dream of the Sinister Six a reality after a decade of attempts: Kraven the Hunter. Since 2014, Sony has been using their Spider-Man projects to lead toward a true Sinister Six movie. This plan stumbled somewhat after the failure and subsequent reboot of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise starring Andrew Garfield but looked to be getting back on track with Sony's Spider-Man Universe.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 14:00:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/kraven-the-hunter-spider-man-universe-sinister-six/ Despite introducing the Super Skrulls to the MCU's Phase 5, Secret Invasion failed to include the supervillain's biggest weakness from Marvel Comics. The debut of the Super Skrulls in the MCU was teased throughout Secret Invasion, Samuel L. Jackson's solo Disney+ series as Nick Fury that aired its finale on July 26, 2023. Early on, it was revealed that Gravik, the Skrull rebellion leader portrayed by Kingsley Ben-Adir, had enhanced himself with samples from Groot, Thor's Frost Beast, Cull Obsidian, and Iron Man 3's Extremis. Secret Invasion's finale saw both Gravik and Emilia Clarke's G'iah power-up as Super Skrulls, however, enhanced with the abilities of several notable MCU characters.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 12:30:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/secret-invasion-super-skrull-killswitch-problem/ Marvel has introduced several powerful new heroes in the MCU Phase 4 and 5, but Ms. Marvel may have secretly introduced one of the strongest Avengers yet. From Captain Marvel to Thor, the MCU's Infinity Saga brought an impressive group of heroes together to stop Thanos from ultimately succeeding in his plan to wipe out - and keep wiped out - half of all life in the universe. However, as Kang rises as the MCU's new premiere threat, Marvel has upped the power of its heroes, too. Characters like Shang-Chi with the Ten Rings and Adam Warlock possess incredible abilities, but one unassuming Avenger may be lurking off-screen.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 12:00:21 GMT https://screenrant.com/squirrel-girl-ms-marvel-fan-theory-explained/ The status of Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four movie has undergone a lot of changes during its production. Marvel Studios confirmed an MCU Fantastic Four movie after years of anticipation and excitement about the former Fox characters joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For a long time, 20th Century Fox owned the film rights to the Fantastic Four, and the studio made multiple attempts to launch a full-fledged series based on the property: Tim Story's Fantastic Four in 2005, which spawned the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot in 2015. Since the 2019 Disney/20th Century Fox deal, the Fantastic Four rights have been back in Marvel Entertainment's hands, with Marvel's First Family due to make their MCU debut in 2025.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:54:17 GMT https://screenrant.com/fantastic-four-movie-release-date-cast-story-trailer/ Louis Leterrier, the director of Marvel Studios' The Incredible Hulk, has revealed new details about an unmade sequel to the MCU Phase 1 film. Released in 2008, The Incredible Hulk was a joint venture between Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures, bringing Marvel Comics' Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk, into the emerging Marvel Cinematic Universe. Before Mark Ruffalo assumed the role of Banner in 2012's The Avengers, Edward Norton portrayed the gamma-irradiated scientist in The Incredible Hulk, and though there were extensive plans in place, a sequel to the Phase 1 film has yet to be created.

]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:00:20 GMT https://screenrant.com/the-incredible-hulk-2-new-details-mcu-movie-lost/ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's place in the MCU timeline has seemingly been confirmed by Disney+, but whether it is fully accurate or not is up for fans to debate. James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy came to an end with the cosmic team's final mission together, which arrived earlier than expected when Adam Warlock critically injured Rocket Raccoon. By reaching back to Rocket's roots in the High Evolutionary's twisted experiments, the Guardians have closed an era and opened a new one just in time for the MCU's Multiverse Saga, which may feature a new version of the team in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2023 22:21:19 GMT https://screenrant.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-disney-plus-timeline-debate/ The Marvel Cinematic Universe has reportedly found its Sue Storm and Johnny Storm with Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn, who are eyed to be joining the cast of Marvel's Fantastic Four movie. Prior to the beginning of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, director Matt Shakman said Marvel's Fantastic Four movie would start filming in early 2024 to make its 2025 release date. However, Marvel has since delayed Fantastic Four from February to May 2025, so it's likely filming will start later as well. Additionally, since the strikes are still ongoing, Marvel can't continue to assemble their Fantastic Four cast. Despite this, a new report has surfaced.

Marvel's Secret Wars didn't turn out to be the critical success that it was hoped to be, but the MCU still has at a few more television shows set to stream in 2023. Following Loki season 2, Maya Lopez will be the focus of Echo after the character was introduced and played an important role in Hawkeye. The animated What If...? season 2 doesn't have a solid release date yet, but the last word was that it's expected to premiere sometime in 2023.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe will finally be introducing the comic publisher's first family as the Fantastic Four are on their way and will be getting their own movie in Phase 6.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was, without a doubt, the biggest film for Peter Parker in the web-slinger's entire media history. Not only did Tom Holland's Peter get his trilogy finale, but he got to share the screen with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men, as they took on the villains from Sam Raimi and Marc Webb's franchises.

Endgame's ending brought the curtain down on the first era of the MCU, retrospectively named the Infinity Saga, retiring both Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark and Chris Evans' Captain America and breaking apart the first iteration of the Avengers team. It came as no surprise in the aftermath when the MCU struggled to put the events of Endgame behind it properly.

]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2023 19:07:18 GMT https://screenrant.com/avengers-endgame-mcu-marvel-retcons-since-release/ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 closed James Gunn's MCU trilogy, and the writer/director packed the movie with several subtle details, teases, and references that are easy to miss. After Guardians of the Galaxy proved to be a massive breakout hit in the MCU Phase 2, the team returned for another solo adventure and helped the Avengers take down Thanos in Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War. While those outings are memorable in their own right, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is particularly noteworthy for being such a strong trilogy closer. Every team member got a satisfying resolution that works as both an end and a new beginning.

Originally included in the Disney+ show Hawkeye, Rogers: The Musical was turned into a one-act musical performed at the Disneyland Resort in California this summer. Though other people in Steve's life, like Peggy Carter, have major roles in musical, Bucky Barnes only appears in the very beginning and in the final musical number, minimizing his importance to Steve's story.

While Loki season 2 will deal with the multiverse and Victor Timely, Kang the Conqueror is not the only villain the show will feature. Considering that the MCU’s Kang story is supposed to lead into Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, Kang’s role in Loki season 2 might not be too large. As such, Loki and Mobius will surely run into other challenges throughout the season, including the Marvel villain known as Zaniac.

Since the debut of the MCU's first movie, 2008's Iron Man, Marvel Studios has grown its shared universe exponentially. According to MovieWeb, the MCU is the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time by a wide margin. As of July, Marvel Studios' theatrical releases combined for a total amount of $29.61 billion. The next two highest-grossing franchises are Sony's Spider-Man movies — helped by Tom Holland's MCU trilogy — standing at $10.38 billion, and Disney's own $10.32 billion Star Wars universe.

Although 20th Century Fox built a two-decade-long franchise bringing Marvel Comics' mutants and X-Men to life on the big screen, Disney's acquisition of Fox properties in 2019 marked the conclusion of Fox's X-Men film series, and the start of mutantkind's highly-anticipated introduction into the MCU. However, despite being teased by Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige at SDCC 2019, there has been no word on when the MCU's first X-Men-centric project might actually be released. Even so, with several empty spaces in the MCU's Phase 6, there is speculation the MCU's X-Men could debut in the near future.

James Gunn's final Marvel Studios project concluded the story of the original Guardians of the Galaxy team after seven appearances in the MCU since their debut in 2014. After saving Rocket's life and investigating the villainous High Evolutionary, the Guardians of the Galaxy went their separate ways, allowing new members to flesh out the second iteration of the cosmic team. This change shifts the Guardians into new territory, adding even more superpowered characters to the MCU's Phase 5.

Jonah Jameson was absent from the Amazing Spider-Man movies and most of the MCU's Spider-Man appearances. More than a decade later, J. K. Simmons' beloved portrayal of the journalist in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy warranted his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it seems like his role in the third MCU Spider-Man movie ended up being smaller than originally planned.

The second film of Phase 5 is the long-awaited conclusion of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Thanks to the writer/director's deep love of Marvel's comics and the overall connectivity of the MCU, Gunn's movies are known for including plenty of Easter eggs, including the legendary one from the first film that still has not been found. Understandably, that has created a precedence for viewers to keep an eye out for all the Guardians of the Galaxy 3's Easter eggs and MCU references.

Miles Morales' world grew larger with the character's animated sequel. Even though Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse cut designs for several character variants, there were more than enough different versions of Spider-Man and his villains appearing in the movie, as Miles left behind his universe to venture into the wider Spider-Verse.

It was no secret that James Gunn's final movie in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy would be the last time audiences saw the main characters together again. The roster of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot expanded over the years to include Nebula and Mantis, while Kraglin and Cosmo were also featured as tertiary members. This created some precedence for the MCU to continue evolving and changing the Guardians of the Galaxy team members, much like the Avengers roster.

The Guardians of the Galaxy returned for one final adventure together in their third movie, appropriately titled Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In addition to being the final mission of the original Guardians team, the movie explored the tragic backstory of Rocket Raccoon and introduced one of the MCU’s most dangerous and evil villains: the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).

By doing so, Secret Invasion revealed a detail from the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame that the MCU had kept hidden until now, which saw Nick Fury recruit shape-shifting Skrull operatives to collect DNA samples from high-profile Avengers.

This included introducing Dermot Mulroney as United States President Ritson, who found himself caught in the crossfire of the Skrull rebellion and Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.

He Who Remains was revealed to be the overseer of the Sacred Timeline and the man behind the creation of the TVA, a comparatively mellow Kang variant when compared to the Conqueror, who made his first appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
