We have some Avengers, Doctor Strange, Shang-Chi 2 and World War Hulk rumors to share today from a good source. Alex P from TCC did a Q&A and had a few tidbits he says he’s learned about some upcoming project plans at Marvel. Let’s start with the Avengers rumors and what is happening with them.
Alex says the current Avengers don’t really exists, and that it will take something to bring them together.
“The Avengers are “disassembled” so to speak. Every hero is currently out doing their own thing. Captain America has his own team with Falcon. Bucky will be busy handling the Thunderbolts. She-Hulk’s busy being a lawyer. Doctor Strange is off on his own with Clea. Thor’s off-world with Gorr’s daughter. Valkyrie is taking care of New Asgard. Scott is spending time with his family. The Scarlet Witch is resting. Vision is on a journey of self-exploration. Hawkeye’s retired. The only potentially “active” Avengers on the roster right now are Wong, Captain Marvel, Bruce Banner, Shang-Chi and Katy.”
“However, there will be a story line that will force multiple heroes to unite. According to some sources, there is an interest from Marvel in developing a World War Hulk project, as a way to set up multiple street-level heroes as part of the Avengers roster to prepare them for the impending battle with Kang.”
Alex later said he’s confident of World War Hulk being adapted, but not sure at all on a solo Hulk film.
“Yes. I am confident that World War Hulk will be adapted. I have no word on a solo Hulk film per se. But Savage Hulk is a possibility.”
Doctor Strange
As for Strange, he is said to be going through a bit of a morality crisis going forward.
“One of the ideas I had heard regarding Doctor Strange’s role in the Multiverse Saga overall was to have his character struggle with the moralities of what he believes is right and wrong. In most universes, we’ve seen Stephen Strange do something that he believes is right and is ultimately for the greater good, when in reality, it backfires and ends up causing more harm than good.”
“Not only that, but it paints Strange as the antagonist in these cases. Such is the case with Strange Supreme from What If…?, Defender Strange, Doctor Strange from Earth-838, and Sinister Strange. When presented with the fact that in most universes, Strange’s actions often cause more harm than good, Strange-616 will struggle with the sense of whether what he is doing is right, ultimately coming to terms with the decision that perhaps simply removing himself from the situation and letting someone else handle it is the best course of action.”
“Of course, it’s all a setup for Strange to step up to the plate and become one of the most important heroes of the Multiverse Saga and I don’t expect them to change much of the story since this is supposed to take place during a couple of projects.”
Shang-Chi 2 + More
As for what is supposed to be happening around Shang-Chi 2?
“The film was going to be a major setup into Kang Dynasty, incorporating ties to the Ten Rings’ History as an organization, as well as diving deep into the truth behind the Ten Rings themselves. There’s also one plot point that Shang-Chi 2 is set to explore, which was set up in Ms. Marvel.”
And some more, here’s Young Avengers.
“A while back, I had teased that the Young Avengers project would handle a Multiverse aspect. This Multiverse aspect would involve Kamala’s Quantum band and exploring the origin of this band beyond what was showcased in The Marvels.”

Captain Marvel going forward in the MCU:
“I have heard Carol’s role in the MCU as of now is to focus on two things. The first is to decipher the true origin of the Quantum Bands from The Marvels, with Carol presenting her bangle to Wong and Banner, while Kamala does the same, albeit with a couple of new friends on the way. The second thing is to find a way to bring Monica back to the MCU, but given what we know about incursions, they might find their way back to each other sooner than they think.”
There are a few other details in the source article linked above. However, I think I covered all the points that were new information not covered in other rumors.
