It's so strange because the original article is five days old, and if Marvel *did* greenlight a new project, it wouldn't be buried several paragraphs into an unrelated article. It would be the headline.

That's a completely fair take. It is a big part of the reason I like shifting it earlier in the rewatch order.

Even though Marvel had to pivot away from Kang, I think Loki does a great job of setting up how Doom will enter the picture next year. So many exciting possibilities!

I like the idea of Loki holding on, literally by the threads, of every variation of the Multiverse and that being the reason for Doctor Doom wanting to save as much of every universe as he can and create a new universe, which he will protect as God Emperor Doom.
Heroes might even agree with him...

2) The reason for grouping these projects is to give Kang a trilogy of his own. Originally, the plan was to space these projects out. But after Marvel Studios pivoted away from Jonathan Majors, it makes more sense (to us) to clear him from the board early in the Saga. (3/3)

1) The transition from HWR at the end of Loki to Kang crash landing in the Quantum Realm works even better than I had hoped. It feels like a natural follow-up to season 1. (2/3)

Another recurring theme in early Multiverse Saga entries is "Who is going to lead the Avengers now?" It is a huge part of Peter's journey in Far From Home, but even the Eternals ask that question. That question hangs over the Saga until Brave New World and Thunderbolts* (3/3)

For example, the GRC (Global Repatriation Council) is established in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to help Blip refugees, and while it doesn't factor in again, there are ads for the GRC in both Eternals and Moon Knight. (2/3)

Spider-Man: Far From Home is up next, a more lighthearted look at returning from the Blip (although it does become a very serious crisis of confidence for Peter as he deals with Tony's sacrifice). (3/3)

1. Chronologically, they fit better than Spider-Man: Far From Home, which would be the first project in the release order
2. They both attempt to deal with the ramifications of the Snap/Blip a little more seriously than FFH. WV is a very personal story and FAWS looks at the global impact (2/3)
