MCU Phase 4: 10 Biggest Challenges Facing Marvel Studios

4. Marvel TV

Before it was canned, Marvel TV had a lot of shows under its belt: Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Inhumans, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, Daredevil, Punisher, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.

These shows gained quite the following, but fans often complained about the lack of recognition TV characters would receive in the films, despite the two mediums supposedly sharing one universe.

Now that Marvel TV is no longer a separate division to Marvel Studios, all of the characters from the aforementioned shows have an opportunity to appear in MCU films & Disney+ series, as already proven by Agent Carter's Jarvis having a minor cameo in Avengers: Endgame.

However, there were elements from every one of those shows that clearly didn't work, so it's unlikely Marvel Studios will keep everything. As such, the challenge is striking yet another balance, this time between what needs to be changed (i.e: the Inhumans), and what needs to remain to keep the fans happy.
