3. Idris Elba:

Idris Elba is one of the finest and talented actors.

But it seems like that the MCU was not at all able to keep this British actor happy in their court.

And the reason behind it was that Elba was not at all happy about his costume in the MCU and also despised his role as Heimdall in both the Thor franchises and for years tried to convince his agent to get him out of the franchise until Thor Ragnarok.

2. Spider-man’s Home Return:

When Spider-Man Far From home ended on a cliff-hanger, but after the end of the movie a dispute between Disney and Sony came off.

Which started in a fight as to who would have Spider-Man’s custody, but eventually after a long battle, Tom Holland somehow managed to save the dispute between the two.

1. Limitation On Joss Whedon:

With the past few years, we have all learned one thing from Marvel and that is it puts a hell lot of pressure on building up the storyline of the future and not focusing on the present.

And that’s what happened with The Director of Avengers: Age of Ultron Joss Whedon as the half plot of the movie was about the mind stone and Wanda’s visions that were the major part of future movies but it somehow squander the main potential of the Age of Ultron Movie.
