Why Sunspot & The New Mutants Would Be Great For MCU’s Current Timeline
macula is a founding member of the New Mutants , a team contrived in the 1980s by Marvel to represent the X - Mansion ’s adolescent contingent of variation and the cryptical and angst - ridden stories they come with . Short of being merely a spin - off squad , however , the New Mutants and their members would go on to tie together multiple facets of the MCU in ways the original X - Men never did . Since their arrival , the team has associated close with separate spheres of Marvel including Asgard , Marvel ’s cosmic heroes , the Avengers , and , of class , the X - human being .

Currently , these spheres are still relatively disparate within the MCU , considering the Multiverse Saga has already passed the halfway fool .

Why The MCU Needs To Bring Its Story Elements Back Together
Since the Avengers ' leaders , Tony Stark and Steve Rogers , made their departure after the Infinity Saga , the MCU has never been more disconnected . Though the looming threat of superhero fatigue duty threaten to work audiences off keeping abreast of every MCU story , the coherency call for to maximise investment in its grand finale is not as strong as it was for the Infinity Saga . For one affair , the MCU has n’t had a ordered Avengers team in which to indue since 2019 .
In the absence of the Avengers , the MCU alternatively seems to be explore other team , such as the Thunderbolts , whose eponymous movie is set to release in 2025 and joins together the reprobate of the MCU in a manner akin to DC ’s Suicide Squad . Ms. Marvel , meanwhile , has in conclusion begun assembling the Young Avengers in earnest . This is a irrefutable sign for anMCUthat is in danger of losing even more investment from its audiences .
