Confirmed at SDCC - well partially - only up to the end of 2021. GOTG3 won't happen until after Suicide Squad. www.cbr.com/sdcc-2019-marvel-studios-panel/Pretty much what we all knew, but Thor 4: Love and Thunder sounds grand. Blade is back but is Mahershala Ali and not Wesley Snipes |

I've been hoping Portman would get/want to play the role but I really didn't expect it to happen.
Blade sounds interesting. As do the tv shows (Is Blade Disney+ or a film?).

Paul Bettany is not involved in any other projects besides WandaVision, and said he doesn't know how Vision is alive.
And Wanda is in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and that Doctor Strange will "show us how mutants fit into the MCU."
All this together sounds dangerously like a reverse House of M.
So... can we just skip to Thor?

If they don't present it in Twilight Zone format, then they should be tarred and feathered.

Could the mention of the Fantastic Four mean K-... err, Dr Doom?

Wonderman waffles between being a decent (at best) character, and absolutely awful.
With the right writers and actor, it could be fun (but anything could be fun with the right people behind it).
But almost every time Wonderman turns up in anything, I find him insufferably boring.

Im finding I just can't be bothered with new Marvel stuff. Endgame did too good a job of being...an ending.

Honestly, I think that the combination of Endgame (being one of the worst movies ever made, as it is), wrapping so much up, and the pandemic killing theatrical releases fo so long, and viewer burnout over MCU, Disney should probably cool it on "phases" for several years.
Just let movies be stand alone movies for a while, or do tighter story arcs that start in one movie and conclude definitively in maybe two or three (Part 1: Spiderman, Part 2: Daredevil, Conclusion: Champions. Just as an example).
Just because it's a shared universe, does not mean every single thing has to be intricately interwoven and still be turning up ten different films later.
I'd rather see how Spiderman deals with the Rhino and Kingpin, than how he fights Thanos.

Yup. I personally loved Endgame but a lot of the stuff since feels a bit tired to me.

I personally like the way that after completing the Grand Plan that ended with 'Avengers: Endgame', they appear to just be mucking about having fun doing stuff because they can. I'm currently amused, for example, by the completely contrived and gratuitous little story arc they've had going on in the end credit sequences of first 'Venom: Let There be Carnage', then 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', and then 'Morbius'.
Eddie Brock & Venom get sucked into the MCU because Venom has encountered Spider-Man before and knows he's Peter Parker. (But which Peter Parker lives in the Venom universe? Not clear yet.) Then Eddie Brock gets sent back, but Venom or part of Venom manages to stay behind in the MCU, seemingly through force of will. Then for some reason the Vulture, an MCU character who knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man, gets expelled from the MCU and sent to the Venom/Morbius universe! My theory is this might have happened to balance the scales for (part of) Venom remaining in the MCU. But who knows? It's all mad! But why the hell not, I say.

I'll tell you why not Martin... Because it's marketing rather than organic artistic story telling.

It's fun and amuses me - it's a curiosity, gives me something extra to think about, and is therefore justified in my book.
Not everything that's worthy of existence in entertainment has to be 'organic artistic storytelling'. There's also room for whimsical and indulgent elements to exist, provided they don't get in the way of the more serious stuff.
And the whole of the entertainment industry, even the highbrow stuff, is marketing at the end of the day.

We now have Ms. Marvel, America Chavez, Kid Loki and Kate Bishop. Possibly Wiccan and Speed. They must surely be heading towards Young Avengers or Champions.

Feel like Ms Marvel really needed another 2 episodes to do everything it wanted without feeling rushed, but I still really enjoyed it. The characters and their interactions were top notch.

Thunderbolts should have happened between Infinity War and Endgame.
And if I'm honest, it could have been a D+ series, and the MCU's (toned down) response to Amazon's The Boys.

Are these films or TV or a mixture?

These phases are getting shorter, presumably because the content is now padded out with TV content too? Phase four feels a bit directionless if it finishes with Wakanda. Who is the big bad in the multiverse plot? I thought we were heading for a planet sized titan attack after Eternals.

Who is the big bad in the multiverse plot? I thought we were heading for a planet sized titan attack after Eternals. Sort of, everything will have come out in just under 2 years, but Phase 4 will end 3 years after Phase 3 ended. Its just nothing came out in 2020 because of Covid. Though Black Widow should have. It has been a bit unfocused, but so was Phase 2, Ultron kind of gave it a sense of conclusion, but I'd struggle to concisely describe Phase 2. Where at least Phase 4 has had a strong Multiverse theme running through a lot of the releases. Edit: Okay just seen that they are squeezing in Phases 5 and 6 by the end of 2025. I thought that was the end of phase 5. |

I enjoy the MCU but find the grouping into 'Phases' arbitrary and unhelpful from a narrative perspective, so I completely ignore it. I mean, Captain Marvel (Phase 3) is set before all but one of the films in Phase 1, and Black Widow (Phase 4) is set in the middle of Phase 3. Spider-Man: Far From Home is an epilogue wrapping things up after Endgame, justifying its inclusion in Phase 3, but by the same logic Iron Man 3 should be included in Phase 1. And the Disney+ series are included in the Phases, but Agents of SHIELD and (less forgivably) Agent Carter are omitted.
So... best to just forget it and enjoy the story arcs you want to enjoy, and ignore the ones that don't work for you.
