‘Avengers: Endgame’ directors know how Marvel can top the Infinity Saga

[Chris Smith]

• Avengers: Endgame is the best Marvel movie to date, but its success is directly related to the way Marvel built its MCU, weaving a complex story with the help of 21 films that were launched over a decade.
• It’ll take years for Marvel to replicate the success of Endgame, and hope to outdo it with an even bigger Avengers sequel.
• The directors of Endgame know what storyline could make an even bigger movie than Endgame, and it’s the story that’s already rumored to be in the works for the MCU.

There’s no question that Avengers: Endgame is the best movie Marvel made so far. The MCU title shattered numerous records at the box office, earning nearly $3 billion from ticket sales alone. But Endgame wouldn’t have been possible without the 21 films that preceded it, which helped Marvel set in place the various pieces of the puzzle that made Endgame a must-watch movie. It’s not just the superheroes and villains that the audience got to meet over a decade, but also the story that Marvel weaved over the years, interconnecting all those seemingly separate stories.

That’s why we can’t expect an Endgame-like anytime soon. Marvel has to rebuild its universe now that it has retired three fan-favorite superheroes and create another major storyline to replace the Infinity Saga that concluded with Far From Home last year. MCU Phase 4 doesn’t even have an Avengers 5 sequel in it because Marvel will introduce new heroes and big villains in this stage, as well as the building blocks for the next massive story. The Russo brothers may be done with the MCU for the time being, but they know exactly what kind of storyline would turn a future Avengers installment into an even bigger success than Endgame.
