The whine is already rising about "not enough females". While the Human Torch is not Chris Evans, he's not a blonde either--second most hated hair color in Hollywood, after redheads. Also looks like Sentry is the She-Captain Marvel swap-out for the Superman/Original Captain Marvel analog.
This is far too many characters for a single film. If one or two characters get a reasonable focus in the plot, the rest will be lucky to have a 5-minute cameo shots. Downey is going to get a chunk of screen time for the money he's costing Disney, so the Fantastic Four better have some incredible legs if Marvel is going to make this hodgepodge of a film work.
They're going to lose a lot of money. I don't know about the average viewer, but I stopped caring about Marvel several years ago.
If it crops up on Amazon prime I MIGHT watch it. There's no WAY I'm paying a dime to watch it specifically. The only movie I'm considering watching that I'll pay for is A Working Man. I think the last one I paid for before this to watch new release was one of the other comic movies of Arkhaven's...
Personally, the only way for Marvel to regain my interest involves blood sacrifices. A lot of them. And I doubt I'm the only one.
Having said that the film will probably be successful, the last time for Marvel that will happen. Of course assuming that it's minimally competent and that it's not done and redone 3-4 times.
With so many characters, sense would tell you that most would be little more than mooks with name actors, that Dr. Doom fights throughout the film as he pieces together his Doomsday Machine.
Coming all together at the end for one last great battle, over a skybeam of course.
But that would involve them being in speaking terms with sense. Who can predict what will come out of their heads? 5 hours film with a monologue for each character?
If Disney is resorting to bringing back aging actors from a 25-year-old franchise they bought, they’re firmly in “throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks” mode. “Days of Future Past” was a great send off for the OG Fox X-Men cast, and “Logan” was a heartwrenching coda for Wolverine and Professor X. I really wish they’d just let sleeping mutants lie.

And the Russo Bros' last film was an unmitigated disaster
Perhaps this will be the alternate timeline when Stark and Von Doom switched bodies?
"Wonder Woman had created a solo superheroine that did well at the box office"
Which is remarkable as those movies are utter trash and, as Slushy Brown has recently reinforced, Gal Gadot couldn't out-act a fence post.
Kal-El. no.
You see how well WhattaWoman 1984 did.

As a filthy casual, my interest will not bewon back. Infinity War confirmed the peak and foreshadowed irrelevant consequences; they would nerf DEATH.
Worse, in a way both arbitrary & capricious.
Also part of the issue:
Disney's inability to admit even to themselves that Wakanda and Black Panther ran purely on the talent and charisma of Chadwick Boseman.
For 5 years they have been trying and trying and trying.
No Antgirl from Quantumania? No Kate Bishop? No Ms. Marvel? No Ironheart? Beige is asleep at the wheel.
