Some light on Phase 4 of the MCU

Alright! As you probably know, at SDCC last night, Kevin Feige revealed some of Phase Four:


Black Widow - May 1st, 2020

People have been waiting years for a Black Widow film. In fact, this would be about 10 years after Iron Man 2 came out, so it's a lot. The main villain of the film is Taskmaster, and there aren't really any plot details other than figuring out what happened at Budapest, and that it takes place directly after Civil War. It also has David Harbour in it.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier
- Fall 2020

Releasing on Disney+

This takes place after Endgame, and it's about Falcon as he figures out the Captain America thing with Bucky Barnes. Zemo is also confirmed to be in it.

The Eternals - November 6th, 2020

I don't know a lot about the Eternals, so here's the Wikipedia premise:

"Set millions of years ago against the backdrop of the war of superiority between the Eternals—super-powered, genetically engineered creations of the Celestials—and their evil counterparts the Deviants, the film follows the relationship between the Eternals Sersi and Ikaris."

It also has Angelina Jolie.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - February 12th, 2021

This will be the MCU's fist Asian-led film, Shang-Chi (Simi Liu) is a martial arts master, and it will have, this is mind blowing, the Mandarin. Like, the real Mandarin, not the ones from Iron Man 3. The real, Asian, terrifying Mandarin, portrayed by Tony Leung Chiu-wai.

WandaVision - Spring 2021

Releasing on Disney+

I have absolutely no idea what this is. It somehow brings back Vision (It takes place after Endgame), and it has a grown up Monica Rambeau (From Captain Marvel). This could be anything.

Loki - Spring 2021

Releasing on Disney+

Remember when Loki died, for, like, the third time in Infinity War? Well, he definitely died :( So, since Endgame brought 2012 Loki back, this is about what he does after he escapes with the Tesseract. And remember, this is evil Loki.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – May 7th, 2021

This is the first MCU film that will directly tie into a Disney+ show, so get ready to pay $7 a month for that.
This is the MCU's first horror film, and it has Benedict Wong as Wong, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, and interestingly, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. Since it's horror, I guess the main villain is Nightmare? Which would be pretty cool to see.

What If…? – Summer 2021

Releasing on Disney+

Alright, so this is an animated show, starring Jeffrey Wright as the Watcher, and the comic book series explores different alternate plotlines (What if Banner landed on Sakaar instead of Hulk? and such), so this is probably like that.

Hawkeye - Fall 2021

Releasing on Disney+

So, this is about Hawkeye, so it has Jeremy Renner. Not much else is known other than that this will introduce Kate Bishop, a younger, female Hawkeye who will most likely replace him in future Avenger films. Also, this logo is awesome.

Thor: Love and Thunder – November 5th, 2021

Taika Waititi is returning to direct, and it will have Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and, this is cool, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.
This film has two confirmed plotlines: As in the comics, Jane Foster will take the mantle of Thor, and, introducing the first confirmed LGBTQ+ hero, the confirmed bisexual Valkyrie, as the new King of New Asgard, will be looking for a Queen (Jane? Shuri? Enchantress? Someone new?)
Also, the film's title is Love and Thunder. Love. Possible Enchantress as the villain? That would be AWESOME!
Also, this logo looks like a 1980s video game, and I love it.

Blade - TBD

So, this is a surprise. The film will reboot Blade for the MCU, and stars Mahershala Ali as Blade. This is my favorite logo of all the logos revealed. I just clicks with me. It looks awesome!

Guardians Vol. 3, Captain Marvel 2, Far From Home 2, Black Panther 2 - TBD

Yay! Sequels! 

Fantastic 4 and X-Men - TBD

This was confirmed to be coming into the MCU at SDCC, but no release dates, plots, or casting has been made public.
