Marvel Studios and Disney+ are celebrating Stan Lee’s 100th birthday in aspecial way. In 2023, a documentary about the life of the Marvel icon willcome to the streaming service.
Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is bad for now hit or miss. ShangChi was a pleasant surprise and proved that there is a way to keep the filmsfresh and diverse without being repetitive, although the ending was anothergood Marvel déjà vu. A curse that it started so original Wanda Vision alsoplagued towards the end.
Marvel has lost focus
Also Ms. Marvel managed to charm, and there are a few more highlights tomention. Unfortunately, these highlights are also accompanied by majorsetbacks. Thor: Love and Thunder was a big disappointment. Shame aboutChristian Bale’s MCU debut. Taika Waititi clearly doesn’t always hit the mark.Also She Hulk caused mixed reactions among fans, and the new DoctorStrange had much more potential than was taken out.
Anyway, the conclusion is clear: since Avengers: Endgame the MCU has lostfocus a bit. Hopefully next year will change that, because then there will beanother big climax, a goal to work towards. Ant Man and the Wasp:Quantumania for example, will continue to focus on Kang, the great villainwho is more dangerous than Thanos and already showed up in Loki.

Acareer about which several fascinating books have already been written. Leewas not always at the helm of Marvel Comics, and sometimes even waged waragainst the company.
