Marvel Studios admits a key problem with its Avengers roster for Phase 5. With three of the original Earth's Mightiest Heroes now retired, while the rest are scattered, fans are expecting a revamped lineup for MCU's premier superhero team the next time they go for a mission. While it doesn't seem like a re-assembly is happening anytime soon, there's already a clear problem with the franchise bringing together its next Phase 5 Avengers lineup so that people will be equally invested in them, as they were with the inaugural roster.

Establishing a new line-up is already tricky, but Marvel Studios may have a bigger problem than just that.
