As a dedicated Marvel fan with years of experience following the intricacies of the MCU, I can’t help but be intrigued by the recent developments surrounding “Avengers 5.” The anticipation for the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie is undeniable, but as we look beyond that, the future of the Avengers saga remains uncertain.
Currently, the center of attention in the Marvel universe is the upcoming film “Deadpool and Wolverine” featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, which has been releasing intriguing previews and promises an exciting journey through the Marvel Multiverse. However, after that movie, we have to wait a few more years for the next Avengers film. The time between “Avengers: Endgame” and its successor is growing longer with each passing year. There have already been some bumps in the road leading to what Marvel Studios will eventually name “Avengers 5.” Recently, another potential obstacle has surfaced. We’ve reportedly encountered another pothole.
According to Nexus Point News’ reports, Michael Waldron, the creator of Disney+ series “Loki,” has left “Avengers 5” without announcing his successor yet. Previously, Waldron penned down “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and steered the narrative for two seasons of “Loki.” Given the intricate storylines he crafted on “Loki,” it was a logical choice for him to work on “Avengers 5.” However, his departure might indicate a significant change in direction for the upcoming film, possibly moving away from Kang the Conqueror as the main antagonist.
Loki series has given significant attention to introducing Kang, portrayed by Jonathan Majors, as the primary antagonist for the Multiverse Saga. He is anticipated to be comparable to Thanos in the upcoming Marvel movies. However, due to legal issues with the actor, Kang’s role might have been recast, causing Marvel to reconsider their plans for their cinematic universe. Initially, Avengers 5 was titled “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.” Given the importance of the Loki scriptwriter in establishing Kang’s character, it made sense for Marvel to approach them.
Taking Michael Waldron out of the picture for “Avengers 5” could mean that the film will no longer heavily rely on the Kang character. This might provide Marvel with additional time to think through how they want to develop and utilize the Kang character in future projects.
With the latest news in hand, our attention shifts to San Diego Comic Con, where Marvel Studios is set to unveil their plans for an hour-long presentation on Saturday evening, July 27. The main cast of “The Fantastic Four” is expected to make an appearance, along with sneak peeks into the studio’s upcoming 2025 releases such as “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Thunderbolts.” However, Comic Con could be the perfect platform for Marvel Studios to share specific details about “Avengers 5,” which is slated to release before “Avengers: Secret Wars.” It’s likely that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige will provide updates on the director, writer, and focus of the sequel during this presentation.
The Young Avengers, who have been hinted at in the closing scenes of recent Marvel productions, could be next.
Based on my extensive experience covering comic-con events and having closely followed Michael Waldron’s career, I have reason to believe that his involvement with “Avengers 5” might have changed. However, this is just speculation at this point and we should keep an open mind. I urge everyone to stay tuned as we delve deeper into the happenings at San Diego Comic-Con. As seasoned attendees and industry insiders, we’ll bring you the latest news from inside Hall H, so be sure to follow us for updates on “Avengers 5” and other exciting developments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
