One interesting possibility is that Marvel Studios could make a motion-picture show base around the various dark hereafter of the Marvel Comics ' universe as a vehicle for the Maestro . for certain Marvel has published enough comics based around theOld Man Loganconcept for there to be enough zep to organise a post - apocalyptic Avengers team . Just suppose a team - up between elderly versions of Wolverine , Hawkeye and Starlord to relieve the Earth from an unvanquishable Hulk !
A less dour opening would be including Hulk ’s Mr. Fixit persona inAnt - Man 3 . suppose the hilarity of Scott Lang and his passe - con buddies teaming with a few other superheroes to pull off a microscopical armed robbery at the corrupt cassino that engage Mr. Fixit as their head of security department . dependable , explain away how Professor Hulk degenerates into Mr. Fixit would take some doing , but it would n’t be any strange than explaining how Banner became Professor Hulk in the first space inAvengers : Endgame .
