Having dominated screens for over a decade, the MCU has become its own mad titan of cinema. Yet as the years go by, questions arise whether the franchise is entering its own endgame. With 32 films under its belt and at least 11 more in development, some fans are beginning to talk about franchise fatigue. Fortunately, the Marvel Comics Universe already has the perfect remedy on hand in the form of its 1602 universe.The brainchild of prolific British author Neil Gaiman, Marvel 1602 (by Gaiman, Andy Kubert, Scott McKowen, and Richard Isanove) began as an eight-issue limited series released back in 2003. The series follows the adventures of a host of Marvel Comics Universe heroes and villains in the Elizabethan era. It folds many elements of the wider Marvel universe into a cohesive storyline concerning the end of the world, the machinations of royalty, and the persecution of mutants. Historical re-imaginings of recognizable characters are spread throughout all levels of 17th-century society, weaving together the stories of beggars and spies, men and monsters, and wizards and kings.With so many films, TV shows, and tie-in cartoons behind it, it is no wonder that some fans are beginning to tire of the MCU. Franchise fatigue is a very real phenomenon, and having occupied the lion’s share of the media sphere for 15 years now, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is at risk of becoming synonymous with the term. It’s not just fans either. Several high-profile actors, like the face of the MCU, Robert Downey Jr. have also suggested their time with the long-running franchise is at an end.RELATED: Every Pre-MCU Marvel Character Rumored or Confirmed for Deadpool 3
