Its First Three Phases Are Now Collectively Known

 The MCU has now produced over 20 movies and has a couple of projects lined up for the near future, both on the big screen and streaming, with connected stories to continue expanding this universe. Its first three phases are now collectively known as the Infinity Saga, and they were all about Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his quest to acquire all the MCU's Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, all while also introducing the heroes that would lead these three phases and some who would continue after it. The MCU’s Phase 4 is now also covering TV series, which are complementing the movie side of this universe – and yet, the next phase is looking a lot more interesting.


Why Phase 5'S Movies Are Already More Exciting Than Phase 4


The MCU’s Phase 5 so far is looking quite promising and exciting mostly because it will be introducing well-known characters (of which some fans have been waiting to see in this universe for a long time) and seeing the return of well-known ones. The Fantastic Four haven’t had the best luck on the big screen with the failed attempts of Fantastic Four (2005), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), and Fantastic Four (2015), so their arrival to the MCU is yet another chance to make things right and finally give them a fun and engaging story that also makes them part of something bigger. Blade is also quite popular among Marvel fans, who are looking forward to seeing Mahershala Ali take on the role that was once played by Wesley Snipes. Deadpool’s MCU debut is also exciting as he’s a completely different character from what this universe is used to, and fans are especially curious to see how his sense of humor and tone will fit in. The X-Men are also some of the characters Marvel fans have been patiently waiting to see in the MCU, and Sam Wilson’s return in a Captain America movie is what he needs after the ending of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.


In addition to that, the other rumored projects – Nova and Thunderbolts – are centered on characters whose presence has already been teased (as is Nova’s case with the appearance of Rhomann Dey) or can be easily set up thanks to past events in the MCU, so there’s already a clear connection with the rest of this universe. The MCU’s Phase 4 still has various movies coming up, so fans’ opinion on it can still change for the better, but for now, it hasn’t been the exciting continuation most were expecting, and hopes are high for the upcoming Phase 5 even if many of its projects haven’t been confirmed yet.


What Marvel Phase 4 Has Done Well That Phase 5 Should Continue


While the MCU's Phase 4 has come with some let-downs, however, it has also gotten some things completely right. The stories of films like Black Widow and Eternals may have felt muddled or unnecessary, while Shang-Chi as a new hero origin story may have been jarring to audiences used to a pre-existing cast of heroes. However, the other aspects of these projects, such as being female-led, racially and culturally diverse, and more willing to break Marvel's tried and true formula, are big distinctions that make Phase 4 worthwhile so far. Regardless of what direction Phase 5 takes in terms of its arc and its individual component projects, this kind of work should absolutely continue.


Even within Phase 4's less boundary-pushing endeavors, like the third Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's clear that the MCU as a whole is expanding in a refreshing and dynamic direction. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is already an MCU staple, as is Doctor Strange, who accompanies him in Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, Peter Parker's story takes a decidedly serious turn in No Way Home, as he's left with no living family, no friends, and an entirely different future than he ever imagined. While this is not the first time the MCU has dealt heavy emotional blows to its heroes, it does feel like a shift away from the happy-ending formula many Marvel movies employ, illustrating Marvel Phase 4's darker, more nuanced, and more mature tone. There's lots of potential for other Phase 4 projects to follow this precedent as well, specifically the dark upcoming MCU show, Moon Knight. Of course, comic book properties like the Marvel Cinematic Universe need to find the right balance between levity and darkness, but the fact that Phase 4 is leaning a bit further into the latter than previous phases is a good sign, and will hopefully extend into Phase 5 as well.
