Look like it has some potential.

Hopefully they don’t try to force too much humour in like Love and Thunder

Word of mouth is going to have to help this one. Outside of US Agent for those who remember him from the West Coast Avengers when comics were their most commercially (not creatively) successful in the post Lee/Leifeld/McFarland Image Exodus, these aren't A-Tier characters.

Marvel got lucky with Guardians, can they do it again or is this another assembly line by the numbers movie?

Bucky was sort of a fan favorite in Phase 2-3, and Elena and the Red Guardian were pretty well received in the Black Widow movie and Hawkeye show.
