Certainly, ever since “Avengers: Endgame,” increasingly MCU films have been tanking or merely getting unhealthy critiques. The huge success of “Deadpool & Wolverine” is now the exception, not the rule. In such an atmosphere, releasing “Agatha All Alongside” was a threat to start with. The truth that it was mildly profitable and comparatively well-reviewed was a “thank our fortunate stars” second, and never a “we’d like this to proceed” second.
The ambiance generally means that there can be no extra Agatha, except she seems in a special MCU mission.
