What is the plot of Avengers 5?

Additional information includes intentions for the TVA to play a significant role in Avengers 5, featuring Variants of beloved characters alongside new additions. There has also been discussion about a series of projects set in a "Battleworld" resembling the one depicted in the 2015 Secret Wars comic.

Yggdrasil, the tree-shaped Multiverse crafted by Loki, is likened to the Infinity Stones of the Multiverse Saga, granting control over the Multiverse to whoever wields it, allowing them to shape it according to their desires.

"Right now, Loki has control over it, and he is simply keeping the Multiverse at peace and preventing incursions as best he can to ensure that every universe is able to exist in stable harmony," the source explains.

"Much like everyone else, [Loki] is born, he lives, and eventually, he will die. And what do you think will happen then?"

Lastly, it's emphasized that upcoming Avengers films will include appearances by Captain Carter from What If...? and Kahhori.
