It has been more than five years since Avengers: Endgame graced the theaters, marking the departure of Iron Man and bidding farewell to an era for comic book enthusiasts. Yet, recent reports from Daniel Richtman hint at the potential return of Doctor Strange and Thor, igniting speculation about the involvement of the superhero quartet in the upcoming Avengers 5. However, Richtman, sharing insights on his Patreon account, suggests that the superhero ensemble from The Fantastic Four might not reprise their roles for Avengers 5.

Despite the entirely new cast, anticipation mounts for Avengers 5, with expectations of introducing fresh faces to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Additionally, indications suggest a smaller superhero lineup compared to previous Avengers installments. Hence, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach may not be part of the Avengers roster in the near future. Nevertheless, fans have the scope to relish the superhero lineup in The Fantastic Four and that could very well decide whether their stay out will be a hit or a miss.
