This sequel does a superb job at developing the characters introduced in the first movie as well as establishing some new interesting figures. The antagonists in Whiplash and Hammer, though perfectly cast, have some nice potential but are not as convincing and others in the mcu.

Sequels always lose the originality tag that comes with the first, yet there is something else missing with this movie. Despite this, it's a nice action-packed, and enjoyable, edition to the series that grows the world of the mcu.
