In this episode of our monthly series leading up to Avengers: Doomsday, Jason and Rosie spotlight confirmed returning heroes Shang-Chi and Ant-Man, along with heavily speculated additions like Doctor Strange, Monica Rambeau (aka Photon), Ms. Marvel, and more. They explore why Shang-Chi hasn’t appeared in another film in nearly six years, what roles Doctor Strange and Monica could play in Doomsday, and how likely other unconfirmed Phase 4 and 5 characters are to show up. Next, they revisit the films and TV shows released in Phases 4 and 5, along with the behind-the-scenes developments that shaped those eras, including Disney CEO leadership changes and Marvel’s pivot away from Kang and Jonathan Majors toward Doctor Doom. To close, they dig into lingering questions from unresolved plot threads, including several post-Endgame credit scenes.
