Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Episode 5.The MCU has, for most of phases four and five, felt directionless. It lacked that endpoint and throughline it had with the Infinity saga that led to Thanos (Josh Brolin) and Avengers: Endgame. Some of this has to do with the fact we have no grand villain, with harassment and assault convictions leading to Jonathan Majorsbeing removed from his role as Kang. However, the far bigger issue is that we have no heroes to follow on this path to who will now be Robert Downey Jr.‘s Doctor Doom. Before, we had Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), etc., who we spent multiple films with. They have tried with characters like Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in Captain America: Brave New World. Although one of the most promising routes seemed to be the Young Avengers, who seemed to have disappeared post-The Marvels.
