Only 1 Of The MCU's Original Avengers Replacements Has Truly Worked So Far

Kevin Erdmann — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:11:20 GMT

There's really only been one Avengers replacement hero who's worked so far in the Multiverse Saga. In the previous Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios spent over a decade building Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye into one of the most popular and recognizable superhero teams in cinematic history. Replacing them in the MCU was never going to be easy, but should it really be this hard when we've so far only had one truly solid success?

It's now been five years since Marvel Studios introduced Simu Liu's titular hero in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and fans are still waiting for his long-awaited sequel. Although his confirmed appearance in Avengers: Doomsday is very exciting, it likely won't make up for the fact that Shang-Chi has gone without his next chapter for far too long in the MCU. While one would hope that director Destin Daniel Cretton would return for Shang-Chi 2, which is supposedly in development, it may be easier said than done.

Marvel has spent decades turning comic-book characters into some of the most recognizable heroes and villains in popular culture.

Felipe Rangel — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:22:14 GMT

Spider-Noir is back as a Prime Video streaming hit. There have been several Spider-Man adaptations over the years, but when it comes to live-action projects, most of them were movies. Famously, Tobey Maguire led a beloved Spider-Man movie trilogy directed by Sam Raimi before Andrew Garfield took over as Peter Parker for The Amazing Spider-Man duology and then Tom Holland assumed the role for the MCU Spider-Man franchise. Ever since he joined the Marvel Studios universe, Spider-Man has been thriving, with Holland's 2026 return as the character, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, now the 3rd highest-grossing movie of all time.

Without a doubt, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has one of the most impressive and star-studded casts of all time. However, it's also fun to look at all the actors in the Greek epic who've also starred in various superhero projects (there's actually a lot more than some may realize).

Unless Avengers: Doomsday’s Box Office Destroys Infinity War, It’ll Be An Unwanted First For The MCU

Zoe Miskelly — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 19:00:14 GMT

2026 has set a high bar for Avengers: Doomsday, as the upcoming MCU movie needs to beat the box office results of Avengers: Infinity War by a not inconsiderable amount in order to avoid a first for the franchise. The MCU timeline has managed some staggeringly impressive box office results over the years, largely in the Avengers film series, which makes the impending release of Avengers: Doomsday this year a decidedly exciting matter, as it seems another major hit may be just over the horizon for the franchise.
