Feature – MCU Phase 4… what movies are coming out and where will they take us?
Phase 4 Theories and Predictions – Part 1: The Phase 4 Line-Up
2 versions of the Phase 4 line-up are floating around out there. The leaked one is probably more accurate as the other is just speculation by some guy named John Campea (and I don’t really know who that is).
Leaked Version:
July 2, 2019 – Spider-Man: Far From Home
May 1, 2020 – Black Widow
Nov. 6, 2020 – The Eternals
Feb. 12, 2021 – Black Panther 2
May 7, 2021 – Shang-Chi
Nov. 5, 2021 – Doctor Strange 2
Feb. 18, 2022 – Captain Marvel 2
May 6, 2022 – New Avengers
July 29, 2022 – Ant-Man 3
NOT the John Campea version:
July 2, 2019 – Spider-Man: Far From Home
May 1, 2020 – Black Widow
Nov. 6, 2020 – Doctor Strange 2
Feb. 12, 2021 – The Eternals
May 7, 2021 – Black Panther 2
Nov. 5, 2021 – Shang-Chi
Feb. 18, 2022 – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
May 6th 2022 – Captain Marvel 2
July 29th 2022 – Avengers 5
July 2, 2019 – Spider-Man: Far From Home
Actually the end of Phase 3
Mysterio is a fake superhero creating problems to solve and gain fame.
Sets up Multiverse
May introduce Oscorp which might play a big part in the MCU moving forward.
May 1, 2020 – Black Widow
Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova (Black Widow clone?).
Doesn’t make sense to go backwards with their films unless the story pushes us forward in the greater universe so what is this movie?
Nov. 6, 2020 – The Eternals
Eternals rumored to have Richard Madden as Iccarus and Angelina Joli as Sersi
Probably based on the 2006 run where the Eternals don’t actually know they are immortal beings with amazing powers.
Feb. 12, 2021 – Black Panther 2
Might introduce Namor
If that’s the case it will be the classic “heroes fight each other until they team-up against the ACTUAL bad guy” trope.
Are the Black Panther movies really Wakanda movies?
May 7, 2021 – Shang-Chi
Shang Chi’s father may be the Mandarin
Kevin Feige says that there are plans to bring a real Mandarin into the MCU.
I know nothing about the character but I’m kind of excited to see him in the MCU.
Nov. 5, 2021 – Doctor Strange 2
Rumored that Dr. Strange may take place in the 80s.
Are all of phase 4 prequels?
What does this movie do?
Will Baron Mordo be the villain?
Possibly a Scarlet Witch crossover.
We will get major hints to the big bad in this movie.
Feb. 18, 2022 – Captain Marvel 2
Could be the entry point for new characters
Monica Rambeau’s Photon
Kamala Khan’s Ms. Marvel
Noh-Var’s Marvel Boy (Kree Soldier and member of the Young Avengers)
Nova?
Kevin Feige says they are doing team-ups moving forward.
Crossover with individual Guardians of the Galaxy members in Captain Marvel 2 or 3?
May 6, 2022 – New Avengers
Skip this for now because it’s 2 whole additional conversations by itself.
Just remember:
Phase 4’s focus is on Diversity.
This will be the Avengers 1 of Phase 4-6.
We won’t see a massive crossover again until Avengers 7 or 7-8.
The Black Panther, Doctor Strange and The Winter Soldier are not members of the Avengers.
The Black Panther sided with Iron Man during Civil War,
