The tragic conclusion to “Avengers: Endgame” may have left viewers with an Arc Reactor-size hole in their chests, but it didn’t mark the end of the MCU. Even though many of our favorite heroes’ journeys ended with Thanos’s defeat, many still had more stories to tell, which carried viewers into Phase 4. The movies and shows that came in the wake of “Endgame” made up this era of the MCU. At San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige announced that Phase 4 is ending with “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” February’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” will mark the beginning of Phase 5.
“As we’re nearing the end of Phase 4, I think people will start to see where this next saga is going,” Feige told Total Film in June. “I think there have been many clues already, that are at least apparent to me, of where this whole saga is going. But we’ll be a little more direct about that in the coming months, to set a plan, so audiences who want to see the bigger picture can see a tiny, tiny, tiny bit more of the roadmap.” Marvel has since announced that two Avengers movies will be part of Phase 6.
“Spider-Man: Far From Home” marked the end of Phase 3 in 2019, and there have been so many exciting adventures in the post-Tony Stark MCU. Ahead, find all the movies that make up Marvel’s Phase 4.
