No Way Home & Doctor Strange 2 Cameos Create A Problem For Avengers 5
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has the potential to carry on the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, but both films could create a problem for Avengers 5. After No Way Home brought the multiverse element to Spider-Man's cinematic journey, Doctor Strange 2 promises to delve even further into the concept of multiple realities — and the name of the film indicates that it will be done in an even bolder way. As a result, several cameos and surprise appearances are expected, especially after Doctor Strange 2’s trailer revealed that Patrick Stewart will return as Professor X.
Three years after the release of Avengers: Endgame, not much has been heard about the potential next Marvel event film, presumed to be Avengers 5. Instead, MCU Phase 4 is taking the time to introduce new heroes and better develop those already part of the franchise. Marvel's Disney+ series also offered a new form of storytelling for the MCU, and Phase 4 has already marked itself as being quite distinct from its predecessors in terms of the format.

The concept of an event film has changed faster than expected from what it was in Avengers: Endgame — the culmination of a 10 years arc — to a multiversal crossover with as many characters as a movie can fit in. This is thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home's three Spider-Men team-up, an effect that could be intensified if Doctor Strange 2 delivers on all the cameos audiences are expecting. This could create a problem in terms of the expectations for Avengers 5, especially if the movie is smaller in scale compared to Avengers: Endgame or Avengers: Infinity War and focuses more on setting up a new Avengers team.
