Black Panther
" What happen after [ Phase 3 ] will be very different,“Feigetold Collider . “I do n’t know if it ’s stage 4 , it might be a new thing . ”Some are taking this to mean that Marvel could be lend its grand , complect universe to an last , or possibly boot it . But Marvel ’s films have been publish money in the billions for Disney , so that ’s never kick the bucket to find . Besides , Feige has show himself far too savvy to make any stupendous mistake with his endeavour .
It ’s more potential that the overarch Marvel Cinematic Universe will preserve , but " form - less . " That is , without stuff - out lot of movies that make up specific phase angle of the overall Marvel architectural plan .
Even though thecontractsof master stars like Robert Downey Jr. ( Iron Man ) , Chris Evans ( Captain America ) , and Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) run out after 2019 ’s untitledAvengers 4 , there is no shortage of character already being set up to carry on in their stead . Will they be down off , or merely retire and pass the torch ? We ’ll have to wait and see . Just as the Avengers have gone through countless iterations over the age in the strip , it ’s heavy to suppose Marvel wo n’t continue the picture show franchise by bringing newer grinder together to mould a " New Avengers , " if you will .
At present , there are still eight flick to come in Phase 3 , which kicked off withCaptain America : Civil Warand continued withDoctor Strange . Next up are :
Marvel has committed to only two films after Phase 3 ends : a sequel toSpider - Man : Homecoming , tentatively set for July 2019 , andGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , which directorJames Gunn has signed onto write and direct for an unknown release day of the month .
Sony will keep churning out Spider - Man pic for as long as audience have an appetite for them ; there ’s always the possible action of the Black Widow solo moving-picture show fans have been tap for since her introduction,;and it ’s almost a given that subsequence will be in order for Hero of Alexandria new to the franchise , like Doctor Strange , Black Panther , and Captain Marvel . There ’s also the infinitesimally tiny hazard that small - screen heroes like Daredevil and Jessica Jones could move on up and fall in their big - cover friends , but front it : that ’s never gon na happen .
There ’s plenty of elbow room fornew charactersto be introduced with their own top - stage films ; Marvel has thousands of comic book superheroes to take from . The comics have seen cock-a-hoop successes from graphic symbol like Kamala Khan , America Chavez , Nova , Miles Morales , Amadeus Cho , She - Hulk , and many more . Any of them could be waitress for their here and now in the spotlight .
There ’s also the possibility that the " big three " — Iron Man , Captain America , and Thor — could turn over off their titles and responsibilities to New submarine sandwich , just as they ’ve done multiple clip over the years in the comics . There are already refilling candidates in place for most of them , in the films , like Rhodey and Bucky Barnes . Currently in the comics , a new woman namedRiri Williams has postulate overfor Tony Stark as " Ironheart , " Sam Wilson is Captain America , and Jane Foster is Thor .
So whatever Marvel cook up , will it fall under the umbrella of " form 4 " ? Or will Marvel do away with Phases altogether in favor of something unlike ? That ’s the question .
Marvel could begin the cycle anew , with another large scoundrel scheming just out of view , plot a major succeeding attack . There are heap of baddies the studio could take from , like A.I.M. , Kang the Conqueror , Korvac , the Masters of Evil , etc . But would fans really be satisfied with Marvel following the same blueprint as before ?
This is probably what Feige was referring to in his statements . What if the universe of discourse persist interrelated , but expectant focus is placed on each characters ' distinct arena , giving them their own flavor and sensibility?Doctor Strange , for example , is all about thaumaturgy and the multiverse ; he could continue to hold that kingdom while bring in more heroes to it . senior pilot Marvelis set to examine the militaristic and perhaps cosmic side of the Marvel Universe . And the highly in advance African nation of Wakanda inBlack Pantheropens up hypothesis for outside heroics .
But instead of these heroes converging at some dot in the time to come , perhaps they wo n’t , andthat’swhat will coif apart Marvel Studios ' post - Phase 3 slate . What would be the item of prognosticate it a " form , " after all , if there ’s no expansive , Thanos - sized plan to eventually give off ? Plus , this way of doing things has the added welfare of the new plastic film being more sustainable in the long - run if there ’s no climactic deadline hover down the road .
That ’s not to say there could n’t be team - ups or crossover . Fans love that stuff because it reinforce how link this existence is . There could even still beAvengersmovies , star this newer multiplication of superheroes , but bringing them together might be a different and unique scourge each time that can be resolve in a undivided celluloid .
The one thing that ’s sure is that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is n’t function anywhere after Phase 3 conclude . It may not be call Phase 4 , but whatever condition it takes , you’re able to expect Marvel to keep doing what it does best by entertaining us with a wide variety of fascinating , blemished superheroes .
