You make a good point that Marvel had no idea what to do with Bucky after Endgame. But did they have any idea what to do with ANYONE after Endgame? At the end of every earlier movie, you had a general idea where these characters would go. But since then, the endings and post-credits sequences very broadly outline random possible followups that so clearly haven't been written or even planned yet. What's supposed to happen with the Eternals? Thor 4 had the most amusing contradiction -- he had found a sense of love and community with his new adopted daughter, and yet Hercules was planning to get him. NEITHER of those plot threads were actually planned. Shang-Chi was a few years ago -- has anyone found out about the Ten Rings that were being investigated by Bruce Banner and Captain Marvel? We did hear Blade's voice at one point, didn't we?

If Thunderbolt is the end of Phase 5, what are the other parts of phase 5? I'm excited, not just because there is a list :) , but to get the thread reconnected in my (now feeble) Marvel universe brain. And then, can we revisit all the parts of the first 4 phases at some future date? I'm excited to see Thunderbolt, regardless.

Thanks for this!
