The two were attending the premiere of their recent film, The Gray Man starring Ryan Gosling. The two hope that the studio continues to experiment and continue with the inclusion of diversity. Though many have claimed the “wokeness” of the studio would hurt it, the Emmys, the box office, and Disney+ numbers seem to disagree. Even the Russo Brothers do too.

What can be expected in MCU Phase 5?

Phase 4 of Marvel has not only opened the studio to multiple possibilities with the inclusion of the multiverse and introduction of new heroes but has also allowed the studio to experiment. The superheroes in Marvel are now far more diverse with the inclusion of Ms. Marvel, who is a Muslim superhero, and America Chavez, an LGBT+ superhero.

Also, allowing directors to add their elements to superhero movies and series some new aspects. Moon Knight and Loki totally stood out from most Marvel projects in the past. Even Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a lot of Sam Raimi elements to it that made the movie a little horror too. The fans seem to approve of it and even the Russo Brothers appreciate it too.
