Disney does have their D23 event in Sept. They might shuffle things around before then.

(Hopes for Spider Man 4 announcement.)

The 5 biggest issues with Phase 4 are:

1. The stakes seem considerably lower after Endgame which makes the movie/TV storylines of Phase 4 seem less compelling for the general audience. No supervillain except maybe Doom can match Thanos in terms of being a menacing and compelling supervillain that can convince people to watch all the movies and shows to see what's truly at stake for the heroes in Phase 4.

2. The newer heroes and actors are no where near as marketable as the OG's. I enjoyed Shang-Chi as a decent mythical martial arts movie but Shang-Chi himself is not compelling and there's no real fandom surrounding him. Even actual Asians don't f*ck with the dude lol. And the Eternals suffer from that same problem but worse. That's the main reason why Marvel is still banking on nostalgia bait and the OG's like Spiderman, Strange, and Thor to keep the general public's interest in the MCU. And having Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Panther out the picture makes the dilemma worse.

3. Having the TV show plots intertwine with the movie plots completely messes up the flow and affects how many people are able to follow up with the timeline of the plots and how they're all interconnected. The diehard fans who watch the shows will know what's up but the casuals who only want to see the movies will be out of the loop.

4. Pushing the "strong woman" angle in a pandering way instead of naturally letting female heroes shine through in the movies. People can pick up on the pandering easily and feel like Marvel is cheapening their brand by doing so.

5. Not giving us X-Men and the Fantastic Four, albeit Phase 5 might follow through with this.

Mid. After Infinity War was over they should have just did a big bang and rebooted with Spiderman and X-Men and Fantastic 4.

I don't care about none of these movies except Blade and the Anthony Mackie Captain America movie is coming out in 2024????
SMH@! I can't wait that long.


I was excited until you said the Anthony Mackie Captain America. nikka thats Falcoln with a shield:mjlol:



They playing around with X-Men though. Guess they gotta write the entire storyline first,cant screw this up. Xmen gotta carry them for another 20 years:wow:


Maybe they planning on dragging it out so far that its not connected to this universe at all. Which might actually be a better idea. You can reboot Avengers and introduce a new Iron Man,New Captain America. And eventually lead up Xmen vs Avengers.

Na
They might bankrupt themselves before even bringing x men back :heh:
They need to be pushing their large IP heroes wtf. Phase 1 had Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, etc. Nobody cares about these heroes here
If they going to do lesser known heroes, they need to keep production time longer and up the quality
Get some better writers
