Marvel Studios has hit some speed bumps since the last time Marvel graced the stage at Hall H. Way back in 2022, Kevin Feige gassed up fans with trailers for Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania. He welcomed the Guardians Of The Galaxy for one last time in the main event spotlight. Wearing his signature baseball cap, Fiege heralded the arrival of Kang, the MCU’s brand-new Thanos. Aside from Guardians, none of that went as expected. In addition to a critical drubbing, Ant-Man became a target for bad press surrounding Marvel’s exploitation of effects workers via the studio’s artistic incoherence and indecision. The Kang Dynasty collapsed under the weight of Jonathan Majors’ abuse allegations, killing several TV shows and sequels in one fell swoop. But Feige had a backup plan: All those Fox properties the studio had yet to test out.
