Reports point to a Disney+ pivot that tests Marvel's response to fan fatigue.
Overview

- The project draws from the comic concept and had been rumored and reportedly shelved before resurfacing this week through insider accounts.
- Coverage notes heavy fan criticism, with calls for Marvel to refocus on core Avengers storylines rather than expanding Multiverse arcs.
