This isn't the movies/Studios division. More likely has to do with the relative failures of "Marvel's Avengers" (the video game) and Marvel Snap.

> More likely has to do with the relative failures of "Marvel's Avengers" (the video game) That was really striking while the iron was luke warm. I'd gleefully followed Marvel up to Endgame, watching all my childhood geeky dreams come true, but by the time that game came out I was over it and didn't want to run around with knock-off versions of the characters I loved in loot box, live service hell.

  It really felt like the game should have focused on different characters and storylines. After, what, a decade of the movies establishing the faces and voices of the characters we get a warmed over bunch of lookalikes and voice impersonators? Since its not realistic to get all the stars to come in and do voice lines for the game, lets look at what the B-team is doing while the mainline folks fight the big bad!

    I like the idea of a B-Team, but let's take it all the way - open the game with a cinematic of Korg and Miek sitting on the couch, and then some Taika witty dialogue ending in him finding an old cartridge of some sort on the ground, and with a "oh, let's give this a go". We hear a click of the cartridge being seated, and the camera pans in to a TV glowing with the start screen "8-Bit Avenger's: the Game". No need for celebrity voices (beside Taika, he can show up for an afternoon), no need to make sure the actors all the look the same, just a licensed game that doesn't try to suck all the money out of the gamer, like the latest TMNT game. Or something, anything other than weird waxworks copied of a plot line that tries to take itself seriously.
