With Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe laid out through to the as-yet-untitled Avengers 4 in May 2019, it seems that discussions are now underway for the fourth phase of the Marvel’s superhero movie slate, with Disney CEO Bob Iger revealing that they are beginning to map out the next decade of releases.
“We had a meeting with Marvel a week-and-a-half ago to plot [those films] out, where we’ve got movies in either development or production — some nearing completion — through the end of this decade,” said Iger during an investor conference call this week. “We are beginning to talk about what do we do the next decade, and so on.”
Iger’s comments echo those he made about Lucasfilm, where he announced that plans are afoot for future instalments of the Star Wars saga from 2021 and beyond.
Presumably, Phase Four will see a shift in focus from some of the original Avengers, in favour of more outings for Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther Guardians of the Galaxy et al, along with some new properties.
How do you think Phase Four will pan out, and which characters would you like to see introduced? Let us know in the comments below…
