But asthe MCU timelinegets into Phase 6, Marvel Studios is getting closer to bothAvengers 5andAvengers: Secret Wars, which are in various stages of development at the moment.

The next two Avengers movies will bring the MCU’s Multiverse Saga to a head, and as such, there are some thrilling hero team-ups that could happen.
Avengers 5’s Record-Breaking Cast Could Cause Marvel Issues
IfLevy ends up directingAvengers 5with a cast that big, it would certainly be exciting for the MCU audience to see over 60 characters featured in the film. To seeAvengers 5somehow being able to outdo the amount of charactersAvengers: Endgamefeatured would be an impressive accomplishment, to say the least. However, this could serve as both a gift and a curse for Marvel Studios in the long run.
Eying more than 60 players forAvengers 5would mean that the film is going to be the most expensive MCU movie that has ever been produced, especially if they are trying to bring back former cast members likeRobert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Another obstacle that is worth taking into account isAvengers: Secret Wars, which will now be forced to raise the bar thatAvengers 5is setting for itself in some form - an almost impossible task if its prequel is able to pull off a crossover of that magnitude.
The most realistic solution to this situation would be ifAvengers 5ends up beingAvengers: Secret Wars - Part I, thus having this record-breaking-sized cast featured in the respective films. But even with that approach, ensuring every single character has their fair share of character development and time to shine would be a truly Herculean task. Hopefully, the larger vision forAvengers 5will start to get clarified over the next couple of months.
