Reviving the Endgame Buzz: Iman Vellani on Reigniting Excitement in the MCU

Iman Vellani, a star of The Marvels, has shared how the MCU can generate the same level of excitement as Avengers: Endgame. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, nothing has matched the hype surrounding 2019's Avengers: Endgame.

The last film in the Infinity Saga, Endgame, grossed almost $2.8 billion at the box office as fans eagerly watched their beloved heroes come together for the final time. While Marvel has released subsequent movies, none have matched the same level of excitement as Endgame. However, The Marvels' star Iman Vellani has shared her ideas on how the studio can generate that same massive hype.

Vellani thinks Endgame hype stemmed from audiences’ emotions

While chatting with The Direct, Iman Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, explained how the MCU can regain Endgame levels of hype for their upcoming films.

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if it’s just about constantly getting bigger and bigger,” Vellani explained. “Because then, what’s next? I believe it’s more about making the audience truly care about the characters.

“I think the last phase of the MCU has introduced so many fantastic characters, and it would be great to see them reunite and work together again.”

According to Vellani, creating new pairings of characters in films could potentially attract more audiences. She mentioned that fans might be intrigued to see characters like Kamala and the Red Guardian together, and she believes that this approach could lead to a successful outcome, comparable to the impact of the Avengers franchise.

The actress makes a valid point about fans being interested in seeing characters team up, as the entire live-action Avengers franchise was based on watching their favorite heroes come together to save the world. With Vellani now becoming the de facto leader of The Young Avengers, as shown in The Marvels' end scene, she could be setting the stage for the MCU to recapture its former glory with a new group for audiences to rally behind.

Editor's P/S

Iman Vellani, the star of The Marvels, has shared her thoughts on how the MCU can recreate the monumental excitement and emotional impact that Avengers: Endgame delivered to audiences. Vellani believes that the key to recapturing that level of excitement lies in making the audience truly care about the characters. She suggests that by creating new pairings of characters in films, the MCU can attract more audiences and lead to a successful outcome, comparable to the impact of the Avengers franchise.

I agree with Vellani's assessment. The MCU has introduced so many fantastic characters in recent years, and it would be great to see them reunite and work together again. I think fans would be intrigued to see characters like Kamala and the Red Guardian team up, and I believe this approach could lead to a successful outcome.

In addition to creating new character pairings, I think the MCU also needs to focus on developing the characters' stories in a more meaningful way. The Infinity Saga did a great job of building up the characters and their relationships, and I think the MCU needs to continue to do that in order to keep fans invested in the franchise.
