Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Marvel's Phase 5 faces a challenge of uniting a diverse group of heroes as a cohesive team, similar to the first Avengers film.
• The number of presumed members in the Multiverse Saga makes the team seem more nebulous than ever, posing a challenge for upcoming phases.
• The Multiverse provides opportunities for the arrival of variants and alternate versions of characters, proving that teamwork is their destiny. Marvel has successfully brought together large groups of heroes before.

Marvel's Phase 5 is on the home stretch, yet it is still faced with a challenge that is even bigger than one presented by the MCU's first iteration of The Avengers. Ever since 2012's seminal first outing for the founding members of The Avengers, being a part of the team has been the dream and destiny of many subsequent MCU heroes. Yet since the Infinity Saga, the number of presumed members in the context of the Multiverse Saga makes the team look more nebulous than ever, which could pose a familiar problem for Marvel in Phases 5 and 6.
In an excerpt from the book The Art of Marvel's The Avengers, Executive Producer Victoria Alonso admitted that the studio was faced with a challenge in bringing a group of vastly different heroes together as part of a cohesive team. At the time, this was a widely-held concern, as the prospect of mixing so many strong MCU superheroes with established backstories threatened to create a chaotic final product. Thankfully, the first team-up was an iconic success instead. The full quote is as follows:

The challenge is making sure all these different types of superheroes feel like they belong together as a team – and not as misfits – to the viewer. And that's what you get: a team of people that could go to battle together.
