The Marvel Cinematic Universe is racing toward Avengers: Doomsday, but can it survive Marvel fatigue along the way? In this episode, we break down every major project on the horizon — from The Marvels, Eyes of Wakanda (Disney+ series) to Thunderbolts, Captain America: Brave New World, and the long-awaited Fantastic Four: First Steps.

We cover:

• The Marvels (now streaming) and what its end-credits scene means for the X-Men and multiverse.

• Captain America: Brave New World — Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson stepping up as the new Cap, with Harrison Ford debuting as Thunderbolt Ross and Tim Blake Nelson back as The Leader.

• Thunderbolts — Marvel’s team of antiheroes, featuring Florence Pugh’s Yelena, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus pulling the strings.
• Fantastic Four: First Steps — not another origin story, but Marvel’s first family (including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach) already established in their universe, with hints of what's to come with their connections to Doom.
• Eyes of Wakanda (Disney+) — an anthology diving into Wakanda’s hidden history, exploring new heroes and corners of the MCU.

We dig into directors, casts, story setups, streaming release plans, post-credit teases, and whether these projects are setting up a Marvel revival or the true beginning of the end.
