I mean, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that all these actors/characters coming back will either be "extended cameos", or only appear for some final rallying cry in the 3rd act, a la End Game's final battle...

 

It's what I expect them to be.  Extended Cameos.  No different than Endgame when it came to so many of them.

 I think this cast is already bloated and that does not bode well for this movie.

 While I see how your point has merit, how does that explain the large-cast movies: Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame?  The last two remain in the top 10 highest grossing films, and even Civil War is #30 on the list (reaching a peak of #12 before other films released).  Each of them also score very high with critics and audiences alike.

Now rumors are starting to circulate that this will actually be Avengers vs X-Men

 

mmmkay

 

Maybe I’m looking at that rumor wrong, but why does it feel like they are still just throwing things at a wall?

Heroes fighting heroes is kind of stock-in-trade for MCU films now, though usually it is only for part of the film.  Just some examples:

 

Avengers

Avengers: Age of Ultron (Hulk, Wanda, and Pietro all attack the Avengers at some point)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Brainwashed Bucky vs. Cap & Friends)

Avengers 2.5 Captain America: Civil War

Thor: Ragnarock (Thor vs. Hulk)

Ant-Man: (Falcon vs. Ant-man)

Avengers: Infinity War  (Avengers with Dr. Strange vs Guardians of the Galaxy)

 

 

I'd see the Avengers vs. X-men as another contest due to misunderstand or perhaps manipulation.  I don't know about the "throwing things at a wall" bit, but it does feel like they find hero vs. hero more interesting at times than hero vs. villain.

I get the hero v hero thing.

I’m also very interested in an Avengers v XMen movie - but with MCU XMen, and not Fox versions.  I’d also like it to be an actual AvX movie, and not a subplot in a Doctor Doom movie.


If true, it just sounds like “what can we do to get people to see this?  Ooh, audiences like nostalgia.  Plus they liked the XMen movies.  I know, let’s combine them!!!”

Hence, my statement about throwing things at the wall.

Opening scene of the movie: Doom sneaks up behind loki on his thread throne, throws him to the ground, grabs him, points at the camera and says "Explain to the audience what that was, in detail. What does any of this mean?"
