It all started in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Iron Man, and they haven’t looked back ever since. As of now, there are 3 phases with 22 movies (with many still to come), nine TV shows (with four to come), and several one-off short films, web series, comics and more. It’s pretty big, isn’t it? However, the MCU is divided into distinct sections, with the interconnected stories of its heroes building towards a convulsive finale every few years in the form of the Avengers team-up movies. s in the form of the Avengers team-up movies.
The Phases Explained
To date, the MCU movies have fallen under three Phases: Phase 1 introduces us to each of the Avengers, Phase 2 handles the fallout from The Avengers, and Phase 3 features an uneasiness among the superheroes after Avengers: Age of Ultron (and introduces more heroes), leading us into the showstopping Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame..
Spiderman: Far From Home, releasing the 2nd of July, 2019, is the last movie in phase 3 post which phase 4 will kick off.
There has been no news of any movies beyond Spider-Man going into production, so it is looking highly unlikely that Phase 4 will kick off in 2019. However, we are hoping for it to happen in 2020 and as fans of the MCU, we know it’s going to be worth the wait!
Phase 4: What will it be about?
Either Marvel is very good at keeping secrets, or there is actually nothing to tell yet because details about phase 4 are scarce right now. We know that it’s set to kick off after whatever happens in Spider-Man: Far From Home. So watch out for this one!
Movies to expect in Phase 4
Here are some movies to expect in Phase 4 of the MCU-
- Black Widow – We have seen here in all of the Avengers movies, but the long-awaited Black Widow solo movie is finally in development.
- he Eternals – The superpowered beings called the Eternals are on the way. They are a race of immortal people who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations. In the comics, The Eternals are usually depicted as warring with the Deviants to protect the human race. So we are guessing we will see a similar storyline in the movie too!
- Black Panther 2 – A no-brainer, given that the film broke records for the superhero genre and also landed a historic Golden Globes nomination. We are super excited for more tales of Wakanda
- Doctor Strange 2 – Benedict Cumberbatch was great in Avengers: Infinity War, but his first film is one of the ones that has just sort of been forgotten, hasn’t it? So, of course, it deserves a sequel!
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – All eyes were on the return of Star-Lord and co in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, and after its success, we know for sure there is a third one!!
While we don’t know much, but whatever little information we have has already got us excited for phase 4. We hope it doesn’t turn out to be a long wait. For now, let’s wait it out for Spider-Man: Far From Home!
