In this episode, I explore some of the recent challenges facing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It's been an up and down few years for arguably Hollywood's most successful franchise/shared universe.

Recent changes in leadership, departure of talent, legal troubles for high profile stars and moderately successful-to-subpar films/TV shows represent major challenges to the long term popularity of the beloved MCU. Fans are understandably worried as Phase 5 is off to a rough start, e.g. (Quantumania).

While these challenges present opportunities, it's unclear whether Marvel can take the needed steps to right the ship.
