Each success story has its enemies. But most moviegoers are amazed at the consistent level of quality that is maintained throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the course of 11 years, the franchise introduced dozens of characters and eventually brought them together in Avengers Endgame. However, despite how epic the movie is, there is still a particular Marvel hero missing.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ featured almost every hero in the MCU
After years of building Thanos (Josh Brolin) and the Infinity Stones, that story finally came to the forefront in Avengers: Infinity War. That 2018 release, along with Avengers Endgame – Served as the end of an era for the MCU. And most of the fans were not disappointed with the vast scope of everything. Neither did the study.
Set, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers Endgame earned $ 4.8 billion worldwide. With the universe hanging in the balance and several heroes bowing their last, the bipartisan feels like the story the MCU was building toward. Imagine how much more successful the films would be if directors Joe and Anthony Russo had included all the heroes they wanted.

But directors really would have loved at least one more Marvel icon
Because over a decade of narrative ends, Avengers Endgame It focuses primarily on the original six Avengers. But it also finds enough narrative space to bring heroes from Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Ant Manand Captain marvel in key roles. Still, co-director Joe Russo revealed to Comic Book Movie the hero that he wishes they could have brought as well.
I mean, Wolverine was always one of my favorite characters. Incredible Hulk # 181 was one of the first comics I remember collecting, which was Wolverine’s first appearance. Hugh Jackman has done an amazing job with that character over the years, and I think they should take a break before anyone else criticizes him.
Of course, Marvel Studios did not have the rights to use any of the X-Men characters in Avengers Endgame. If Disney’s acquisition of Fox was completed earlier, perhaps the writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely might have somehow included Wolverine. After all, they accomplished a similar feat with the introduction of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

Wolverine and the X-Men will join the MCU soon
Now, however, it is a completely different story. The MCU is free to bring in all the Marvel characters previously blocked by Fox. That means Deadpool, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men are on an inevitable collision course with the MCU. The question is when and how the characters will make their expected appearances.
For Wolverine, Russo could be doing something. The popularity of Hugh Jackman’s acting requires time away from Wolverine. But the MCU has plenty of options on how they can move forward. In fact, if the franchise wants it, it could even bring Dafne Keen’s X-23 from Logan in the MCU. For now, fans will have to wait and see what Marvel thinks.
