This is a really good question. Buy that blu-ray now.

I’d be lying if that very same thought hadn’t crossed my mind…

And they've even said that Doomsday is a direct sequel to Endgame, or picks up right where Endgame ended. This sounds like they're ignoring 7 years of movies and tv shows - I know they won't do that, but putting it like that could rub some people the wrong way.

I'd assume that means we're following Steve Rogers for a bit at the beginning, not that the Thunderbolts and everyone else who's been in a Marvel thing for the past seven years might not pop up. (Not you, Eternals.)

My biggest hope for Doomsday and Secret Wars - and this is something I have reason to think the Russos would want to do and are able to do - is to weave together some significant number of the loose threads dangling from the last 7 years of MCU stuff.

Given that Feige's plan during the period appeared to mostly be "let's toss out a bunch of stuff to use in the big crossover," even if all the intervening stuff never happened (it turns out people hated Secret Invasion and the Eternals, for instance), it'd be nice if a lot of the important stuff could be integrated. (I don't think we ever need to see Sharon Carter or Skrull Sharon Carter, or whatever, as a criminal mastermind in Asia.)

My guess its more that some elements of the movie take place back at the time of the end of Endgame, and simply haven't previously impacted the broader MCU before now. Given it involves other universes, that's not particularly difficult. There are also some temporal issues at hand (noting it will apparently show some of Steve Rogers' life after he went back to the past).

I can see how there could be a misreading of the phrasing, though.
