Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

There's also the Marvel shows, which can rule out some potential movies we didn't already know about: Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki.
As far as movies we don't officially know about for Phase 4, I'm predicting Avengers 5 (duh), Namor, and let's go with She-Hulk, as a wild-card.
Honestly, I have no idea which Phase 4 movie will be first, though I'm betting on Dr. Strange 2.

Meanwhile, The Russo brothers are going to be doing a supposed Live Action film of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
Quite the shift from Marvel, but if Advertised properly, I could see it doing very well.
Watch SymphogearDoctor Strange 2 would probably be the best for set-up of the MCU's future, given the magical side of the MCU is relatively unexplored as of yet, and he can always explore both magic and cosmic (as there is a huge amount of overlap).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Call it Single Green Lawyer and have it be a Shulk and Matt teamup go try to take down a crime with a combination of lawyering and punching
Oo or call it the Devil and Ms Walters
Forever liveblogging the AvengersYou could add her to the Avocados at Law. She’s already green.
Based on some of the rumors I'm going with the slate being Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2, GotG 3, Thor 4, Dark Avengers, Young Avengers, and Iron Heart.

This song needs more love.Avengers: Infinity War lost a scene where Thanos was found cosmically guilty
I beleive Black Widow, Doctor Strange 2, Guardians 3, Shang-Chi, Thor 4, Black Panther 2 and the Eternals have all been confirmed on some level.
I'll go ahead and add Captain Marvel 2 and Spider-Man 3 as likely additions.
Other possibilities might include something from the Fox properties like Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, maybe even a Doctor Doom movie.
I'll also add Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) to the list as an outside possibility. I do expect her to enter the MCU in Phase 4, but I'm not sure if she'll go straight to having her own movie.
That scene would have killed the pacing but it would have been good to demonstrate unambiguously that Thanos is bugfuck and not in the right at all
Forever liveblogging the AvengersAnd hell yes, I would have loved to see Thanos be cosmically judged. It would have definitely proven that he was wrong and that he didn't care.

I’ll go with Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2, Got G 3, and maybe Thor 4?
As wild cards, I'll go with MCU!Spider-Man 3, something X-Men related (X-Force?), something Fantastic 4 related, Deadpool 3, and maybe Spider-Man and Deadpool.

I'm hoping we'll get a full Phase 4 line-up video, like they did for Phase 3. Obviously, Phase 3 went through a few changes in the process, but it still lines up basically the same, just a little shuffling around and Inhumans replaced with Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Of course, we sort of already know half of the Phase 4 movies, since we know about Eternals, Dr. Strange 2, Black Widow, Guardians 3, and Shang-Chi. I think, of the ones we know about, Thor 4 is definitely not in Phase 4, it's just way too early in production. I dunno what's going on with Black Panther 2 and Power Pack, I could see either of them being in Phase 4, but we haven't heard much about them recently, which makes me think they might be further off than we think.
