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.
