Marvel is a hugely popular franchise, but many have questioned whether it would continue to be exciting after the events of The Avengers: Endgame, as the majority of the characters were left hurt, aging or even dead. However, Following the release of Endgame in 2019, a number of other films and series have been released, including:
MOVIES:
- Spider-man: Far From Home
- Black Widow
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
- Eternals
- Spider-man: No Way Home
- Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness
- Thor: Love and Thunder
SERIES:
- Wandavision
- The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
- Loki
- Hawkeye
- Moon Knight
- Ms.Marvel
- She HULK
- Daredevil
Following the conclusion of these shows and films, Marvel addressed what happened to the surviving Avengers after Endgame:
Spiderman ( Peter Parker ) : He wiped the memories of all family/ friends to make doing his job easier for the people he cares about.
The Falcon ( Sam Wilson) : He is the next Captain America as he debuts his new suit complete with new wings, drones and more.
The Winter Soldier ( James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes ) : He became super close with the Falcon, helping him take down the next enemies Earth faces.
Scarlet Witch ( Wanda Maximoff ) : After Vision was killed she spiraled and created an illusion of her family taking control of a whole town. After she eventually stops, she gets a hold of the Book of the Damned, she becomes the Scarlet Witch trying to get ultimate power but comes to the conclusion that she isn’t able to stop, so she destroys the temple and darkhols across the multiverse which ends with her dying.
The Hulk ( Bruce Banner) : He ends up fixing his arm after Endgame. He later reveals that he has a long lost son from Skarr, the planet he crashed landed on for a while.
Hawkeye ( Clinton Barton) : His life got complicated after Endgame, he trained Kate Bishop but towards the end of his journey Echo’s uncle Kingpin is believed to cause more problems for him in the future.
Doctor Strange ( Dr.Stephen Strange ) : He eventually succumbs to the effects of the Darkhold.
Thor ( Thor Odinson ) : He takes on the role of a father, as he begins looking after a young girl. They go around the galaxy battling threats.
Furthermore, Marvel has many exciting movies planned for release in the coming months and years:

Despite the fact that most of the original Avengers are no longer active, I believe their entertainment ratings and moreover value will remain stable. This belief is due in large part to the fact that after Endgame, each surviving Avenger trains someone who shares their abilities (Hawkeye trained Kate Bishop, Thor has a daughter, the Hulk now has a cousin who can hulk out, not to mention his son; Black Widow has her sister and the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with only minor changes to the Falcon as he becomes the next Captain America). It is even possible that these people might be added to the Avengers team in the future.
Overall since the release of Endgame, Marvel hasn’t stopped producing movies and content which continues to evolve the characters and grow their fanbase. In other words, Endgame may have been the end of one chapter in the Marvel universe, but it’s clear many further chapters are yet to come.
