Marvel Is Really Struggling To Move On From The Past
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues its expansion now with its Multiverse Saga, which has brought a variety of opportunities for this connected universe, but it has also shown that Marvel is struggling hard to move on from the past. The MCU kicked off in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, which set the tone for the movies that would form Phase 1, and since then, the MCU has grown to become the biggest connected superhero universe in film and TV. The MCU reached its peak with the crossover events Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, but that wasn’t the end for this universe, and it moved forward with what’s now known as the Multiverse Saga.
The MCU’s Phases 4, 5, and 6 have focused on the exploration of the multiverse in its movies and now in TV shows as well, and of course, they have also introduced new characters while expanding the stories of already established heroes. The multiverse has opened many doors for the MCU, and among the many opportunities it has brought is the return of characters from previous Marvel TV shows and movies outside the current MCU. The return of these characters has been quite exciting and has allowed the MCU to integrate some of the most beloved Marvel characters, but this is also showing how much Marvel is struggling to move on from the past.
