The fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will help the studio introduce the next generation of heroes and villains, hopefully building towards another massive finale to rival Avengers: Endgame. While Marvel is sticking to the same recipe it used with great success so far — telling simple, inter-connected stories featuring all sorts of superheroes — Phase 4 is unlike anything the Studio did before. First of all, Phase 4 is the first to combine traditional feature films with TV shows streaming on Disney+ in between the movies. Secondly, Phase 4 will bring over the kind of characters that Marvel never had access to before. Fantastic Four, Deadpool, and the X-Men might be Marvel creations, but the rights to those characters belonged to Fox until Disney bought the company. With that in mind, Phase 4 will be bigger in scope than anything Marvel did so far. And the overarching story that Feige’s creative team wants to tell next might be even more ambitious than the Infinity Saga centered around preventing Thanos from destroying the universe. And while we’re yet to taste the main MCU storyline, we do have two clear directions as to where this is heading. One of them is Secret Invasion, a TV show we’ll probably all have to watch — beware, some MCU spoilers might follow below.
