One of the biggest criticisms of the MCU’s Phase Four so far is simply that each property has felt completely disconnected from the others. This is the Multiverse Saga, and while two movies and one Disney+ series tackled the concept of the multiverse, there was no crossover whatsoever.

This needs to change in the build-up to The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, and it could start with the very first movie of Phase Five. There are two potential connections that may have been seen within the trailer alone, the first of which being to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Both have mysterious and as of yet misunderstood powers, with even Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers being stumped by the former. Captain Marvel confirmed that it wasn’t any alien tech that she had seen before. What if this is because it’s quantum?
