The MCU built its post-Endgame strategy around multiverse surprises, legacy characters, and massive cameo moments—but can that still work when audiences already expect literally anyone to show up? In this clip, I break down why Avengers: Doomsday may have a stronger hook than just surprise guest stars, why Secret Wars is a much trickier movie to sell, and why Marvel can’t rely on nostalgia alone if they want these next two Avengers movies to feel like true event films.
00:00 Can Marvel Still Shock Us?
00:31 The MCU’s Diminishing Returns Problem
01:14 Why Doomsday Could Still Work
02:27 The Secret Wars Question
03:17 Marvel Movies: The Movie?
04:00 Cameos Aren’t Enough Anymore
