Marvel reveals Avengers Doomsday Watchlist with a surprising absence
When the conversation turns to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some predictions sound like casual conversation, while others sound like cinematic prophecies. Back in June, directors Joe and Anthony Russo offered a particularly bold vision for the upcoming era of the MCU.
Speaking in an interview promoting Avengers: Doomsday, the brothers suggested that the next chapter wouldn’t be about continuing a complex storyline, but about a fresh beginning. Their vision was that the upcoming film would essentially be “starting over from scratch,” promising a narrative devoid of lingering dependencies on previous events.
They argued that this approach would allow audiences to experience the latest Marvel blockbuster without the weight of history dragging it down. The goal, as they put it, was for everyone to feel that this new cinematic moment wouldn’t be “leaning on anything from the past.”
In essence, the prediction points toward a complete reset for the MCU. Following the events of Doomsday, the Russo brothers suggested that the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe would be returning to “phase zero.” This concept implies a clean slate, wiping the slate clean and allowing the universe to begin anew.
It’s a refreshing take, essentially suggesting that the next phase of storytelling requires no extensive homework. Instead of grappling with intricate continuity, the focus shifts entirely to the present, offering fans a chance to enjoy the spectacle without the burden of prior narrative expectations.
