Although if he was here, I'm sure a certain someone would dispute it, but I think that the MCU Legends released over the last 2 years look better than 75 percent of the stuff coming out of Figuarts, with their Iron Man figures being the lone exceptions. Those things are works of art.

This is gonna sound sour...but absolutely nothing. Unless it says Excaliber/Fantastic 4/X-Men/Spider-Man in the title, I have very little interest in what lies ahead for Phase 4...or whatever phase the MCU is in at the moment.

Eternals might be a surprise like GotG, or it could be something middling that underperforms. They all can't be winners, and Marvel/Disney has to be careful going forward because with the Avengers taking some time off, casual fans might not be as engaged as they were with these very unfamiliar batch of characters they are bringing to the big screen...especially with the expectations and hype of getting muties in the very near future.

They will need to establish the next big baddie/arc going forward quickly, because I know a lot of people who were seeing the films just to see how they all fit into a part of the Infinity Gauntlet narrative and I'm sure many others out there were as well (myself included.) With the slate "snapped clean," it will become a tougher sell if the don't begin setting things up immediately after the credits roll on whatever the first film will be.

The only character I can think of is Elektra (Netflix may not be in the MCU but it's still live action).

Not sure if I understand the question being asked...do you mean characters released as MCU versions before getting their comic counterparts?

I honestly couldn't see why not though. They've been doing it in reverse with the comic versions having MCU follow ups (Shuri, Klaw and Mysterio immediately come to mind) so I don't see why we wouldn't see a comic Mandarin, Yondu, Grandmaster, Killmonger, or Executioner come down the pipe.
