I’m fine with this. 2 avengers movies coming out in the same year would’ve been way too much. I’m glad they’re giving a year gap between the film just like Infinity War and Endgame

Fans took the social media to support the decision saying that it makes sense to have a delay as it could have been a mess to develop all those movies within two years.
