MCU: 10 Possible Uses Of The Multiverse In Phase 4 (And Beyond)

8. To Bring Dead Characters Back Into The Main MCU Continuity...

There's been quite a lot of death in the MCU over the past year, but no matter how many characters they kill off, it's hard to truly believe that Marvel won't find a way to bring them back somehow.

Loki has "died" more times than we can count, and even his latest, seemingly definitive death might have been undone by Avengers: Endgame. Gamora died and came back, Fury had a death fakeout in The Winter Soldier, and Coulson came back to headline his own damn TV show. This has been a real issue for the MCU that has somewhat dulled the impact of its deaths, because it always feels like there will be a way for the character(s) in question to return in the future.

And with the multiverse, the MCU now contains the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card for reversing deaths - including ones that have already happened, and even ones that are yet to come.

Vision died in Infinity War and was nowhere to be seen in Endgame, despite having a TV show slated to come out on Disney Plus. One way to get him back in action? Get an identical Vision from an alternate timeline and pull him into the main MCU! The same goes for the newly-deceased Black Widow's solo film, too - if it's not a prequel, she could just be "multiversed" back into existence during the present day MCU.

That might be a bit cheap, granted, but it's still an option Marvel could utilise.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
