Part 7/9:
The projected schedule suggests that Avengers 5 might not even arrive until 2027, nearly eight years after Avengers: Endgame. When considering this long wait, coupled with the underwhelming recent movies, it’s understandable why many have lost hope. The current lineup of characters feels disconnected and uninspiring, especially in stark contrast to the ensemble casts of previous Avengers films.

The franchise is now racing against several problems—internal rewrites, shaky character development, legal scandals involving actors, and a failing box office record.
