Why The Lack Of Sequels Is Hurting The Multiverse Saga

The Multiverse Saga has been cluttered with the improver of new characters and storyline . Within the last few years , quality like She - Hulk , Ms. Marvel , Shang - Chi , Moon Knight , America Chavez , the Eternals , and Ironheart have all been added to the MCU . A few of these heroes have had their storey continue , likeMs . wonder inThe Marvels , but many of them are still waiting for Marvel to lend them back . Spider - Man , Doctor Strange , and Thor are all lineament with rumour sequels in the works , but nothing has been confirmed yet .

With all of these additions and no sequels , the MCU is starting to feel more littered than the multiverse , with many storyline branches that feel like they are n’t connected . Quantumania is the only project outside of Loki that addressed Kang , and there aremassive implications leave by theEternalsthat have n’t been handle yet . Meanwhile , audience are still wait to see how the Ten Rings factor in , almost three long time afterShang - Chicame out . The lack of sequels has created a lack of continuity that is leading to diminishing investing from the audience .

At the consequence , there are no Multiverse Saga sequels in the official MCU timeline . Spider - Man 4,Thor5 , andShang - Chi 2are purportedly in development or early planning stages at Marvel , but it ’s undecipherable when they could get out . Since theupcoming Phase 6 slate is so bare , Marvel will have plenty of chance to fill it up with conform to - up moving-picture show for several heroes . While a few of these characters , like Ironheart and Agatha Harkness , are make TV shows as their follow - ups , many viewers still want to see how they will factor out into the larger world .

Marvel also needs to add some subsequence to its lineup as it gets near toAvengers 5 . It ’s not clear who the members of the Avengers will be , and Marvel require to establish who the leadership are in this universe and who will be joining the squad . By giving more role sequels , Marvel can get a gage of who audiences like and who can be the main torpedo for theMCU ’s next Avengers . It will also give them a chance to bind everything together so that the story inAvengers 5doesn’t seem like it come out of nowhere .
