After the success at Marvel, the Russo brothers do not stop. His new film, “The Invisible Agent”, is already in theaters and arrives on Netflix on July 22nd. Of course, they are already immersed in their upcoming projects, such as the live action remake of “Hercules”, in which they participate as producers. Of course, no matter how busy they are with other things, they will always be associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so when promoting their new job, they have not stopped talking about the present and the future of the most successful superhero saga, to which they have contributed so much.
After closing in a big way Infinity Saga after 11 years with “Avengers: Endgame”, the MCU has entered a new era with its Phase 4, characterized by the incorporation of the series on Disney + and the search for new voices and perspectives. Since “Scarlet Witch and Vision” kicked off Phase 4 in early 2021, Marvel Studios have released six films and seven series, with a very patchy reception. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ or the aforementioned Wanda and Vision series have conquered the public, while other bets such as ‘Eternals’ or ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ have strongly divided critics and fans.
Given that this phase starts with such disparate results, many believe that the new era of Marvel is not up to the standards set by the previous saga, closed with a flourish by the Russo. The filmmakers evaluated these criticisms in an interview with NBC, where they came out in defense of Marvel Studios praising their ambition and experimentation.
“The whole MCU journey has had its ups and downs, it’s only natural that there is a back and forth with regards to how people feel based on the latest installment.”Antonio points out. “But I think, when the critical moment comes, they are still very ambitious in their storytelling. They are experimenting. He is looking for new forms of expression to keep audiences excited and surprised.. It shows that they still have a vital creative code and process to follow, so I think there is still a lot of hope for the possibilities of the MCU. We haven’t lost hope in him, that’s for sure. “.
As the Russos say, experimentation has been the usual trend of UCM Phase 4, where we are witnessing the unfolding of the Multiverse. His series and films are adopting very different styles, genres and formats, entering darker terrains, such as the terror of ‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’ or the psychological thriller of ‘Moon Knight’, or lighter, as in the ‘teenager’ SM. Marvel ‘or the urban action of’ Hawk’s Eye ‘. While not all new Marvel titles are received with the same enthusiasm, what is clear is that they are trying new things. Knowing where all this is going and how it will turn out will take some patience. In the end, Phase 4 has just begun, even though it already has 13 titles.
