In 2020, it was totally marvel-less year. But in 2021 MCU has arrived in earnest. It has started with three shows and one film- WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Black Widow- debuting in quick succession. It is time for fun for the fans as they discussed plot points, theory, predicted endings, characters, twists, and many more.
But the real fun starts here as six more TV shows and movies are set to release this year. Here we present the list of six TV shows and movies.
1. What If…?- August 11
