After the record shattering performance of "Avengers: Endgame" and the surprising ending of "Spider-Man: Far From Home", fans were left wondering where Marvel Studios would go next with their cinematic universe.

Don't have time to look up information about the MCU's upcoming film AND television properties? Doctor What and Average Joe are here to fill you in on what is coming next to cinemas and the Disney + streaming service.

This conversation contains SPOILERS for the entirety of the MCU to date, including the most recent movies.

The intro and outro music was created by Cackles and Jeremy Eckert. We thank them for their generous support of this podcast.
