MCU Phase 4 - Predictions and Rumours

[Oliver_W]

So what do we all think Phase 4 will bring? Who do you think the new line up will include, be it as part of the Avengers or in standalones?
- Spidey
- Black Panther
- Captain America (formerly Falcon)
- Ronin (formerly Hawkeye)
- Captain Marvel (I'm guessing she'll pop to Earth for the team ups)
- Scarlet Witch

- I'd really like Pepper Potts to take up Iron Man's mantle, she can be Iron Heart!

- Thor (it seems like he's sticking around, even if not as an Avenger)

- Guardians plus Thor, finding Gamora

[Wojtek]

Now that it's finally possible, I hope X-Men will be introduced in the MCU

That would also give an opportunity for an interesting storyline involving Scarlet Witch and Magneto (and Quicksilver if he comes back)

[Tony Montana]

A few things on my wish list.

- Thor and the Guardians movie
- Hulk turning into World-Breaker
- An Illuminati film
- Fantastic Four film that is actually fantastic
- More cosmic heroes and villains- Nova Prime, Silver Surfer, Quasar, Adam Warlock etc

I'll add some more later.

[Oliver_W]

Sadly, there will never be a lineup as good as this:

I read X-Men are joining the MCU but it will be ages until that happens.

[Tony Montana]

My dream would be for an Annihilators film.

For those of you that don't read Comics, the Annihilators are a group of powerful space-based characters from various alien races. They first appeared in the ''Thanos Imperative'' in 2010, before their own solo series in 2011.

They consist of Nova Prime, Quasar, Silver Surfer, Gladiator, Beta Ray Bill and Ronan the accuser. They're pretty much Marvel's JLA and one of the most powerful fictional teams.

I'm referring to these guys

Yeah they're confirmed to enter the MCU. So are the Fantastic Four.

Hopefully the MCU do justice to the FF.

Same, the reboot was AWFUL. I would have loved the original cast but obviously Chris Evans was Captain America

[James]

There are MCU films scheduled for release in May and November 2020. The May 2020 one was supposed to be Guardians 3, before that got delayed. It could be the Black Widow film or, more likely Black Panther 2. However they haven't announced any filming having started.

They have something else in the works called The Eternals but I don't know what that is, not being a comics fan.

[Tom4784]

We know that the Eternals and Black Widow are in the works as is what is likely to be Asgardians of the Galaxy.

I do think we'll be getting A-Force and Young Avengers annoucements soon as well as a date for the next Avengers and probably some news for Black Panther and Captain Marvel sequels. I think the only reason why they've been so quiet about the future beyond what's already announced is because they wanted to get Endgame out of the way first.

I forgot about the Eternals, I love them so much. Sersi's my favourite :love:

Looking forward to it.

[Tony Montana]

What does everyone make of the Inhumans tv show? I've never watched it but I heard it got terrible reviews.

[Tony Montana]

Same, the reboot was AWFUL. I would have loved the original cast but obviously Chris Evans was Captain America

I liked the original films. Despite their flaws, they were great and I loved Chris Evans Human Torch. I hated what they did to the Silver Surfer tho. His powers don't come from his board, he only uses that to fly. And wtf @ Galactus? He's a cloud?

The reboot one was abysmal and one of the worst (if not the worst) comic book films of all time.

[Oliver_W]

The F4 reboot was a bad as most of the MCU movies. tbh The Incredibles is a better F4 movie than Fan4stick...

[Tom4784]

I reckon Fantastic 4 will happen before the X-Men but I don't think they'll get an origin film since Fox tried to do it twice and failed.

I think we'll hear about the space launch in passing in one of the films and then the F4 will appear in an Avengers film that'll spin off into their own trilogy.

It's possible that Doctor Doom might arrive in the MCU ahead of them too since he is such a big threat to the Marvel universe as a whole.

Yeah I could see Doctor Doom having already clashed with Doctor Strange, Thor or Black Panther. He's clashed with them 3 several times in the comics so it's likely he could be introduced that way.

I really hope they do the character justice. Victor is one of my favourite villains of all time, and he needs to be on the same level as MCU Thanos, Fox Magneto and Ledger's Joker.

[Oliver_W]

Maybe Doctor Doom will be the "new Thanos", cropping up here and there with the odd mention and appearance, feature most heavily in the F4 movies...

[user104658]

Spider-man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Guardians (probably feat. Thor by the looks of it) seem to be a given.

[Owoaje1993]

Young avengers

Due to Cassie Lang being older in endgame played by Emma furmann where in young avengers she is stature

Lily Barton hawkeyes daughter becomes Hawkeye in young avengers

Also even though he is not in the comics but there are hints that Harley Keener the little boy from iron man 3 will become iron lad in the MCU and he also appears in end game

So endgame kind of set up the young avengers

Hmmmmmmm I dunno, sounds more like one that'll end up as one of the new Streaming Service MCU shows. I can't see them starting to make main-series MCU movies without mostly established actors.

There are loads of different avengers teams I think they do more avengers movies after end game i highly doubt end game is the last film plus I think they are gonna make an avengers vs Xmen movie they will just keep on creating new characters to be in the up and coming avenger films also they will have different line ups

And were established actors before joining the MCU. I find it very unlikely that they'd suddenly fill the main roster with teenagers. I can see this being Marvel's version of DC's "Titans".

They have loads of avengers teams though they would probably bring them in and also if the young avengers does definitely happen it would involve Spider-Man some how I think since his at the same age as the young avengers I also think if they did do it I can see the current alive roster being like mentors to them or at least appear in it one way or another
Plus the avengers are not just one team they are multiple teams which I do think marvel will bring into the mcu marvel also try to bring in some of the unknown characters into the mcu so that the audience get to know who they are so more avengers films are to come.

Yes but Toy Soldiers point was that the former Avengers lineup were the most famous names in Hollywood, almost everyone knows who they all are and they had big careers before and after the avengers film.

There would be nowhere near enough hype or excitement if they were to bring in a collection of relatively unknown actors to take over one of the biggest movie franchises.

I'm fine with them getting individual stories first like how Iron Man/Hulk/Captain America/Thor etc all did before the avengers - but I wouldn't want another 'Avengers' film as such until these characters are already established well.

Yeah I get your point but some of the characters I think marvel are bringing in new avengers films with newer characters some will have their own films first then they will join avengers later in terms of the young avengers it could happen if it did then the characters from previous films will still appear

also people like the lesser known heroes the ones that none marvel fans know about to for example the guardians of the galaxy they weren’t heard of much until the films began now they are huge so I do think it could work plus also I think it would depend on who gets casted as the superheroes to

Plus superheroes like Antman , Black Panther And Doctor Strange were not well known characters until their films now they are really popular

So I do genuinely think they are doing more avengers films in the next few years it will just be a new line up that’s all which I think would attract the fans who read the comics and could potentially attract a newer audience I’m not saying it will be as big as endgame but it will still be successful it will just depend on casting

It's not so much the characters as the actors playing them, though, that makes me think it's more likely to be streaming series than high-budget Hollywood. Like yes, GOTG was a more obscure franchise, but then you look at the first page of the cast list;

Chris Pratt
Zoe Saldana
Dave Bautista
Vin Diesel
Bradley Cooper
Lee Pace
Michael Rooker
Karen Gillan
Djimon Hounsou
John C. Reilly
Glenn Close
Benicio Del Toro

Packed with household names.


Likewise Doctor Strange; people might not have known the character but Bempydonk Crumplenickle was a household name and you had names like Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen and Rachel McAdams to pad it out.

I suppose they might be lining them up as replacement "secondary avengers" to replace people like Falcon, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Vision... even Hawkeye... but I can't see any of them getting solo movies and thus they won't be the "main ensemble" Avengers.

[James]

Hollywood star-power isn't what it was. Box-office success now is mostly about the franchise and having a recognisable IP, rather than big names.

You look at the other films the MCU stars have done since it started... Robert Downey Jr had Sherlock Holmes and Scarlett Johansson in 2014's Lucy are the only real hits. Chris Pratt had the Jurassic World films but people are going to that for the dinosaurs.

[Scarlett.]

I quite like the current X-Men movies tbh, it's a shame they can't keep the same cast and a similar tone ... But I'm still looking forward to what the MCU does with them, it'd be awesome if it turned out like the 90s cartoon.

Couldn't the sneak them in with some sort of Multiverse tomfoolery?

I loved the 90s X-Men tv show. That, 90s Batman and Spider-Man were my life as a kid.

[Oliver_W]

Couldn't the sneak them in with some sort of Multiverse tomfoolery?

I don't know - it could be rights issue, and I'd guess Marvel Studios would want to do their own thing instead of having to consider the previous movies.

[user104658]

Couldn't the sneak them in with some sort of Multiverse tomfoolery?

IMO the MOST likely scenario for X-men (now that the Spider-man trailer has confirmed Multiverse travel) is that the main series occurs in a separate part of the multiverse, with them hopping over into the Avengers MCU (or vice versa) for team-ups and crossovers. Whether or not that means they keep any of the existing franchise, who knows.

[Oliver_W]

In the comics, there's a young female who follows in the steps of Tony Stark, called Iron Heart. Maybe his daughter could fill that role :D She did try on Gwyneth's helmet. Or maybe Gwyneth could play the role :D she's not exactly young, but it'd be an interesting path for her character to follow.

[Morgan.]

Well I think they had revealed Katherine Langford had filmed scenes as Tony’s daughter (an older incarnation), that were cut last minute. Maybe they’re saving those scenes for her to play Iron Heart?

[Oliver_W]

Oh I hadn't heard that before, that'd be cool :D

[user104658]

Well I think they had revealed Katherine Langford had filmed scenes as Tony’s daughter (an older incarnation), that were cut last minute. Maybe they’re saving those scenes for her to play Iron Heart?I heard they cut them because test audiences didn't like them / were confused that this new version of the daughter suddenly appeared at the end... It wa also decided that his final scene should be with Pepper for continuity (as she's been a major feature of his life throughout the MCU, whereas the daughter is brand new in Endgame).

But yeah a "young avengers" of some description does seem likely, especially with them "aging up" Scott Lang's daughter, and the focus on Hawkeye's daughter learning to use a bow.

Also because Spider-man was "snapped" for the 5 year time jump, he's still a similar age to those characters (mid/late teens) so would likely be involved.

Theyd have to do some time / alternative reality shenanigans to age up Tony's daughter, though... As she's still just a kid in the main timeline :shrug:

This Honest Trailers is spot on.

Yeah but I doubt they will use iron heart in the film I think they will use Harley Keener as IronLad from iron man 3 and he also appeared in endgames funeral scene so I can definitely see him being IronLad I think Morgan stark will become iron heart maybe in a later film

Marvel Making a Return to Hall H for San Diego Comic-Con 2019
by Vinnie Mancuso June 18, 2019

After taking a break for exactly one (1) year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will make its return to San Diego Comic-Con‘s Hall H panel in 2019, according to Deadline. This is actually some intriguing news, considering that A) Fellow comic book movie-makin’ studio Warner Bros. has decided to skip the main stage festivities this year, and B) We pretty much don’t know a single concrete thing about Disney’s MCU plans following this month’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.

So what are we most likely to see? An official slate, for one, which would probably give us an idea of the studio’s plans well into the future. As for actual footage, director Cate Shortland‘s standalone Black Widow movie is the most realistic option, considering its the only MCU film rumored to be in production right now. An appearance from Shortland and Scarlett Johannson, maybe even David Harbour, plus a logo reveal is your safest bet.

Coming hot down the pipeline, you also have The Eternals, which seems to sprout a new casting rumor every day, as well as Destin Daniel Cretton‘s Shang-Chi and Scott Derrickson‘s Doctor Strange sequel. There’s also the Disney+ live-action series to consider—we already know first looks at the Loki standalone series starring Tom Hiddleston have started to sneak their way to the public—but it almost seems more likely that those shows would be saved for Disney’s D23 Expo a month after Comic-Con. Although, this year’s D23 is probably going to be mighty Star Wars heavy…

The last time the MCU rolled into San Diego, back in 2017, the audience in Hall H got a first look at Avengers: Infinity War—how young and un-scarred we all were—as well as a live appearance from stars Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Sebastian Stan, and Anthony Mackie.

+ Blade remake with Mahershala Ali also announced.


Comic Con: Marvel reveals Blade, Shang Chi and female Thor
By Rozina Sini at Comic Con, San Diego
BBC News
1 hour ago


Marvel has announced a bumper crop of 10 new superhero movies at Comic Con.

Marvel studios president Kevin Feige, flanked by dozens of Hollywood stars, revealed the post-Avengers roster of films to a stunned hall in San Diego.

Many attendees at world's largest pop-culture fan convention had camped out to reserve a seat for the event.

One major surprise was the announcement of Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as Blade the vampire hunter, a role played by Wesley Snipes in the 1998 film.

There was rapturous applause and screams as Ali took to the stage to reveal he would take on the role of the day walker.

Natalie Portman will play a female Thor


Natalie Portman confirmed her return to a fourth Thor film - Thor: Love and Thunder - reprising her role as Jane Foster, but this time wielding the power of the Thor hammer.

"Feels pretty good. I've always had a little hammer envy," Portman told the delighted crowd after being handed the hammer by director Taika Watiti.

Portman's role is based on Jason Aaron's comic book series that sees Jane Foster become the mighty lady Thor when Thor Odison finds himself unworthy of picking up the hammer.

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson will also return for the film.



Earlier the audience were teased with number of new productions and sequels from phase four of the Marvel cinematic universe.

The first film to be announced was The Eternals. The cast includes Angelina Jolie, and Salma Hayek appeared on stage in front of the excited audience to talk about their new roles.

Jolie, who will play Thena, told the crowd: "I'm going to work ten times harder because I think what it means to be a part of the MCU, what it means to be an Eternal, to be part of this family. I know what we all need to do."


"We've all read the script, we all know what the task ahead is and we know what you deserve so we are all going to be working very very hard," she added.

The Eternals are powerful beings who look human but have special powers. The film has a release date of November 2020.
Shang-Chi

The first Asian American super hero film Shang-Chi was also announced, and we now know who will play the lead role. After months of castings Kevin Feige announced Canadian actor Simu Liu had been confirmed to play the Kung-Fu master only a few days ago.

Shang-Chi who was born to a Chinese father and an American mother, first appeared in the Marvel comics almost 50 years ago.

Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings will also star Crazy Rich Asians actress Awkwafina.




After months of speculation, Marvel finally confirmed the first details of the eagerly anticipated Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff.

The film has been in production for 30 days with a teaser trailer showing early scenes in Budapest.

Johansson told the panel: "I get to play Natasha as a fully realised woman, in all of her many facets."

A number of Marvel series were also announced which would be available on the new Disney+ streaming service including Loki and Hawkeye.

Feige ended the panel by telling a cheering audience that he did not have time to talk about a host of other films.

"We didn't mention that we're making Black Panther 2, we didn't mention the fact that Guardian of the Galaxies 3 is coming.

"We didn't have time to talk about Captain Marvel 2, and I didn't have time to talk about the Fantastic 4 and there's no time to talk about Mutants," he told a delighted crowd.

[LukeB]

Most excited for Black Widow and Wanda

[Ramsay]

What If :clap1:

[Oliver_W]

Black Widow - cool.
Eternals - don't know much about them, with comics I don't like Marvel, it's all about DC. I'll probably see it though, as I like Angelina Jolie and Selma Hayek.
Falcon - cool.
Shang Chi - whatever.
Wanda - cool.
Loki - cool.
Doctor Strange - whatever.
What If - don't know what that is.
Hawkeye - cool.
Thor - nah. Thor is a name, not a title. Falcon becoming Captain America is fine but Thor is the dude's name.
Blade - cool, but I bet Wesley would still be able to do it!
Guardians of the Galaxy - best news of all!
Captain Marvel - nah.
Black Panther - I can't really remember the first movie but his character's cool in the team up movies.

[LukeB]

Any news on Captain Marvel 2, Black Panther 2 and Spider-Man looking forward to those as well

[Oliver_W]

tbh Spidey should be the "new face" of the franchise, even if he's not the in-story leader.

[Ramsay]

Isn't he still technically a Sony property though?

[Wizard.]

Half of those are like TV shows exclusive to Disney+ lol

I’m looking forward to how they do Blade. Take it we’re not getting another Avengers type crossover film until 2023?

[Wizard.]

Isn't he still technically a Sony property though?

Yeah Sony will announce. Marvel make it but Sony gets all Box Office revenue.

[Oliver_W]

Isn't he still technically a Sony property though?

I'm not sure if that makes a difference?

edit: sorry I thought you were replying to me

[Tony Montana]

1. Where the hell is Black Panther?

2. Loki's back? Seriously?

3. Here for Bucky and Sam's team up. :clap1:

4. Doctor Strange 2. :flutter:

5. Bye @ that Thor 4 title. Dafuq is that? :umm2:

6. Blade is badass so looking forward to him. Wesley will be hard to top tho.

7. The Eternals. :flutter:

[Marsh.]

Thor looks like a parody!

[Tom4784]

It's an interesting phase, no Avengers films until at least 2022 is surprising.

If they can keep the momentum going from Ragnarok, Thor 4 should be amazing and I'm glad that Natalie Portman is back in a more meaningful role, Marvel wasted a lot of talent in it's earlier films and Natalie Portman was one of the more egregious cases. I am here for her becoming Thor.

I don't know enough about Eternals to care.

I hated the Doctor Strange film with a passion, I thought it was basically a reskin of Iron Man's story but with magic and Inception's visuals and the way they wasted Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelson was unforgivable but I'm intrigued for the sequel, a horror MCU film sounds interesting and given the themes of madness and Scarlet Witch's inclusion, there's a lot they could set up there.

Shang Chi could be good but I'll need to see a trailer before I care. Same with Black Widow.

I'm surprised they are pushing the TV shows so much but the only one I really care about is Wandavision.

Looking at the timeline, I'm glad this phase is short because it seems very much like a gateway phase with a lot of anticipated sequels coming in Phase 4 along with the Fantastic 4 and presumably X-Men.

Mahershala Ali is an excellent actor but I'm not sure I see him as Blade, at least physically. I'm certain he'll be excellent though.

[Morgan.]

What is What If?

[Tom4784]

What is What If?

An animated series featuring a **** ton of MCU actors. Basically each episode will ask a what if question, I believe the first episode will be 'What if Peggy took the super soldier serum instead of Steve'.

Oh lordy, apparently the Hawkeye series is gonna be about his daughter, not him ...

I mean the chances of Renner signing up to do a Hawkeye series are pretty much nil... he looks bored enough with the 5 minutes he gets in the films and even more bored in interviews. I suspect he's in it purely for the paycheque and the amount of hours that would go into being a TV series lead dwarfs his parts in the movies.

That said, a "young Hawkeye" series of him learning his abilities and joining SHIELD could have been interesting, using a younger actor in their 20's. We could even have had some more digitally de-aged Agent Coulson :flutter:.

Short promo for some new TV series.

[Tony Montana]

Christian Bale will play the villain in Thor: Love and Thunder.

Christian Bale and Chris Hemsworth are set to go head to head in Thor: Love and Thunder as Christian has signed up to play the villain in the upcoming movie. It will be Christian’s first comic book role since playing Batman in The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, but this time the 46-year-old will be playing the villain rather than the hero. Co-star Tessa Thompson revealed: ‘Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic,’ she told Entertainment Tonight. ‘I’ve read the script. I can’t tell you much. Lots of exciting text messages exchanged between Natalie [Portman] and I.

‘We’re going to have fun. Taika [Waititi] is writing and directing. Some familiar faces. Some new people coming into the mix.’ Chris Hemsworth plays the title role of Norse god Thor, and this will be the fourth instalment in the Marvel franchise, following 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.

This is the most random casting ever! I never thought Bale would even go near the MCU. They're lucky to get him. Hope they'll do him justice!

Christian Bale will play the villain in Thor: Love and Thunder.

I don't really know anything about the Eternals, but the trailer makes me think of the Fourth World stuff from DC...

[Marsh.]

Looks great bar the end scene :yuk:

[Joker.]

Looks really good.

Both the Eternals and New Gods were created by Jack Kirby. Both races are quite similar.

[Tony Montana]

Trailer was pretty good.

Trailer for new Captain America film - Brave New World. Apparently they reshot this film multiple times.

I'm getting Joe Biden vibes from Harrison Ford in places there.

Orton joined in December 2023 to write material for reshoots, which began at the end of May 2024.


yes correct


-------
its nice to be seeing Harrison as the US president again, a role he also slayed in Air Force One, at the same time also makes you feel a little sad, because you are more familiar with William Hurt as the Thaddeus Ross character, but Harrison is a proper replacement



also looking forward to what role Giancarlo Esposito got, also a amazing actor in shows like Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, Once Upon a Time and also in video game Far Cry 6

also ''Alita: Battle Angel'' title star Rosa Salazar has a role in this

[The Slim Reaper]

Now even captain America is a DEI hire. Is this how that works? I'm still getting used to it.

i don't think too deeply about these type of films, i either like them or i don't :laugh:
