The next installments of the Avengers franchise continue to remain in flux as Marvel Studios’ Avengers 5 has once again lost a writer. As we have learned from our sources, Michael Waldron has departed from the project, leaving it without a director, writer, and official title now.Since the film’s announcement in July 2022, what was originally known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the project has lost Destin Daniel-Cretton (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) as its director, Jeff Loveness
I think Majors needing to be ditched alongside the reception for most of the multiversal slate is pushing a change of course. Really hope they can right the ship and recapture the lightening
Was there ever a lighting? I recently rewatched many of the early MCU movies and to be honest they were mostly OK but not much better.
I still love most of the original infinity saga save Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 and do a watch through every year. So for me it absolutely did.

Then the whole Oscars/Scorsese thing happened and Feige etc started to push on how Marvel would produce high-class movies. Then people started to judge their movies not on a “popcorn blockbuster scale”, but on a “sophisticated movie scale”.
