What's more, it's becoming clear there are good reasons for this. It's easy to forget there was a time before Marvel superheroes were guaranteed blockbusters. All that began to change in , with the unlikely success story of Blade. As Feige observed in a recent interview with Men's Health , " That sort of proved early on that it wasn't about how famous the character was, but about how great their potential was for becoming a cool movie, or series of movies. Looking at the Phase 4 film slate, it's clear they intend to continue in this vein, with introducing the Eternals - a brand that's never even been especially successful in the comics - and the lesser-known martial arts hero Shang-Chi.
Feige seems to be taking the same approach with the X-Men themselves. Back in , discussing the exciting idea of bringing the X-Men into the MCU, he stressed Marvel's focus wasn't just on what he called the " marquee names. While all attention is on the big names and the established brands, there's already evidence Marvel is beginning to integrate Fox properties into their shared cinematic universe - by developing ideas that have never been seen on the big screen before. This was the first time Madripoor has ever been seen in the MCU before, and that's probably because it's most strongly associated with the X-Men.
The resultant comics, part of the Battleworld event, were a mix of old heroes and villains, escapees from newer offshoot realities like Old Man Logan , as well as new and forgotten characters alike like Singularity and America Chavez in A-Force.
But Secret Wars and Battleworld , despite Marvel assuring us they were the new status quo, were never meant to be anything but a stepping stone that led to the…. After Doom was defeated? From fan favorites like Spider-Gwen and Ms. Marvel to unexpected new titles like the absolutely stunning Scarlet Witch to old standards like Captain America even if it was Sam Wilson carrying the shield. All-New, All-Different was an experiment to see how new and diverse characters could handle their own titles.
The problem was, unless you had a Marvel Unlimited subscription, it was practically impossible to keep up with everything being published. We barely had time to get a feel for these new characters before they were snatched out of our hands and shoved back in the toy box. YOU get a new 1 title! And YOU get a new 1 title!
