Which Introduced Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark And Set The Tone

 The Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently in its highly anticipated Phase 4, but Phase 5 is already looking more exciting. The MCU has been dominating the superhero genre for years now, becoming the most extensive, popular, and profitable connected universe in the entertainment world, covering not only movies but also TV shows. The MCU kicked off in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, which introduced Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and set the tone for the movies and heroes that followed.


Phase 4 is continuing the stories of the heroes from the previous phases that are still alive and active in their superhero duties and is also introducing new characters that will have a bigger role in the near future – but even with all these movies and TV shows, Phase 4 hasn’t been the most exciting phase, and the upcoming one, even if most of its projects aren’t confirmed yet, is looking a lot more exciting and interesting.


Every Confirmed & Rumored Marvel Phase 5 Movie


Fantastic Four (Confirmed)

Blade (Confirmed)

Deadpool 3 (Confirmed)

Captain America 4 (Confirmed)

X-Men (Rumored)

Nova (Rumored)

Thunderbolts (Rumored)

Shang-Chi 2 (Rumored)

World War Hulk (Rumored)


One of the most anticipated upcoming MCU projects is Fantastic Four, as it’s the highly awaited introduction of the team to the MCU. The Fantastic Four’s arrival is now possible thanks to Disney buying Fox, but details about the movie are still unknown, except for Jon Watts (director of all MCU Spider-Man movies so far) serving as director. Next on the list is Blade, a project announced in July 2019 and with Mahershala Ali playing the title character. Blade also counts on Stacy Osei-Kuffour as writer and Bassam Tariq as director, and filming is expected to begin in July 2022.


Another project saved for a future MCU Phase, most likely Phase 5, is Deadpool 3. The Disney/Fox merge also makes it possible for Deadpool to join the MCU, and just like Blade, filming is expected to begin in 2022. Next is a Captain America 4 movie, announced to be in development in April 2021 and with Malcolm Spellnab and Dalan Musson as writers (the former served as head writer on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the latter as staff writer). Captain America 4 won't see Chris Evans return, as it will instead have Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as the title character, and it could be part of the MCU’s Phase 5.


As for rumored projects that could see the light as part of the MCU’s Phase 5, there’s a possible X-Men movie. It has been confirmed that the X-Men will be made part of the MCU at some point, with Kevin Feige announcing a movie about mutants/X-Men is in development, but no more details have been revealed. Another rumored project is a Nova movie, which would tell the origins of the title hero. Nova’s backstory has links to Avengers: Infinity War and Thanos, as Nova is the only surviving member after Thanos destroys the Nova Corps and Xandar in Avengers: Infinity War. On top of that, rumors suggest that Marvel is making a World War Hulk movie, despite issues with Hulk's movie rights, and Shang-Chi 2 to follow up on the success of the debut of Marvel's best martial artist. Last but not least, a Thunderbolts movie is also rumored to be in development with production projected to begin in 2023, so it could still make it into the MCU’s Phase 5.

When Will Marvel's Phase 5 Begin?


It’s still unclear which will be the movie to close the MCU’s Phase 4, and as this universe hasn’t really followed a pattern when it comes to how many movies each phase should have – Phase 1 and 2 had six, and Phase 3 went above and beyond with 11 movies, closing with Spider-Man: Far From Home – it’s hard to pinpoint when this phase will end. However, Marvel has already announced a couple of projects for the near future, and as many of them are still in development, they will most likely be part of the still mysterious Phase 5.


Why Marvel Phase 4 Has Been Disappointing So Far


The MCU’s Phase 4 had one big challenge: carrying on with this universe without Iron Man, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and with a completely new storyline that must link a bunch of movies together, as the Infinity Saga did. However, even though Phase 4 has some interesting titles in its schedule (both movies and TV shows), fans have been mostly disappointed by it, and there are different reasons for that. While having TV shows that are finally an active part of this universe (unlike Netflix’s Marvel shows) gave the MCU new chances to tell longer and more detailed stories, viewers haven’t been exactly ok with having to subscribe to yet another streaming platform in order to keep up with the MCU. The problem only grew when Black Widow got a simultaneous release in theaters and Disney+ through Premier Access, further pushing them to get a subscription if they didn't want to or couldn't watch it in theaters.


Of course, there has also been disappointment when it comes to the stories and characters in the MCU’s Phase 4. So far, Phase 4 has been a bit more experimental than the previous phases, as seen with WandaVision. On the bright side, it has also been more inclusive, with the introduction of Shang-Chi and the various characters in Eternals, especially the characters of Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry), the first gay superhero in the MCU, and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff), the first Deaf superhero. While these changes have been good (though maybe not all were executed as they should have), fans haven’t been drawn to these new stories, styles, and characters, either because they are not that well known (though the same happened with Guardians of the Galaxy and it was a big hit) or the stories seemed unnecessary, which was a common feeling over Black Widow. It doesn’t help that Phase 4 doesn’t seem to have a clear direction yet, as opposed to the Infinity Saga in which viewers knew it was all leading to Thanos and his quest for the Infinity Stones.
