Phases

Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films and television series produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. Phase Four features all the Marvel Studios productions released from 2021 through 2022. It is the first phase in the franchise to include television series, alongside television specials marketed as "Marvel Studios Special Presentations", with Marvel Studios developing several event series for the streaming service Disney+ in addition to the feature films that it was already set to produce. Animation in the phase was produced by Marvel Studios Animation. Phase Four began with the series WandaVision, which premiered in January 2021, while the first theatrical film in this phase is Black Widow, which was released in July 2021 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The phase concluded with the television special The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special in November 2022. The release schedule of Phase Four was changed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kevin Feige produced every film and executive produced every series and special in this phase, alongside producers Jonathan Schwartz for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Nate Moore for Eternals and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Amy Pascal for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Brad Winderbaum for Thor: Love and Thunder.

The films of the phase include Black Widow, with Scarlett Johansson returning as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, starring Simu Liu; the ensemble Eternals; and the sequels Spider-Man: No Way Home from Sony Pictures Releasing, with Tom Holland returning as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with Benedict Cumberbatch returning as Dr. Stephen Strange, Thor: Love and Thunder, with Chris Hemsworth returning as Thor, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with Letitia Wright returning as Shuri / Black Panther. The seven films of the phase grossed over $5.7 billion at the global box office.

The Disney+ television series of the phase include WandaVision, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in the title roles; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the title roles; the first season of Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston; the first season of the animated What If...?, narrated by Jeffrey Wright; Hawkeye, starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld; Moon Knight, starring Oscar Isaac; Ms. Marvel, starring Iman Vellani; and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, starring Tatiana Maslany. The Special Presentation television specials Werewolf by Night, starring Gael García Bernal, and the ensemble The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, as well as the first season of the I Am Groot shorts starring Vin Diesel, are also included in this phase. Benedict Wong appeared the most in the phase, being featured in five projects: three films and two television series. Phase Four, along with Phase Five and Phase Six, constitutes "The Multiverse Saga".

Development

Initial work and announcement

By October 2016, Walt Disney Studios had scheduled multiple release dates for untitled Marvel Studios films for 2020 and 2021. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said some of the films for those dates were already known, explaining, "We know what [films] we'd like them to be for 2020. Over the years, where we're aiming we've been lucky enough that it's usually been the same thing but we always leave ourselves the opportunity to bob and weave and adapt if we have to."[1] Feige was not sure if Marvel would continue to group the films of the MCU into phases once Phase Three concluded in 2019, saying that "it might be a new thing",[2] but by December 2018, Marvel was believed to be using the term Phase Four.[3] Feige said Marvel hoped to reveal some upcoming films after the release of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[4] with the Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger later indicating that Marvel would reveal its slate of post-Avengers: Endgame films in mid-2019.[5]

By November 2017, Disney was developing a Marvel television series specifically for release on its new streaming service Disney+, which was planned to launch before the end of 2019.[6] In September 2018, Marvel Studios was revealed to be developing several limited series for the service, to be centered on "second-tier" characters from the MCU films who had not and were unlikely to star in their own films; the actors who portrayed the characters in the films were expected to reprise their roles for the series. Stories for each series were still being decided on, but the series were expected to be six to eight episodes each and have a "hefty [budget] rivaling those of a major studio production". The series would be produced by Marvel Studios rather than Marvel Television, which produced the previous television series set in the MCU. Feige was taking a "hands-on role" in each series' development,[7] focusing on "continuity of story" with the films and "handling" the actors who would be reprising their roles from the films.[8] Feige stated in February 2019 that the series would be "entirely interwoven with both the current MCU, the past MCU, and the future of the MCU",[9] and a month later he elaborated that the series would take characters from the films, change them, and see those changes reflected in future films, unlike the weaker relationship the films have with the Marvel Television series. He also said that new characters introduced in the Disney+ series could go on to appear in films.[10] In May, Feige compared the Disney+ series to the Marvel One-Shots short films that Marvel Studios had previously released alongside their films, saying, "The best thing about the One-Shots is that we got to flesh out other characters. It's tremendously exciting that we now have Disney+ series where we get to do that on a grand scale".[11]

Kevin Feige announcing Phase Four titles at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con

In July 2019, Marvel Studios held a panel at San Diego Comic-Con where Feige announced the full Phase Four slate. This included five films to be released—Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder—as well as five event series to be released on Disney+—The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, What If...?, and Hawkeye.[12] He confirmed that there would be connections between the films and series,[13] with the events of WandaVision directly setting up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Loki tying into it.[14][15] Feige stated that these ten projects were the full Phase Four slate at that point, despite Marvel already developing further projects at that time,[16] such as the long-in-development Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,[17] sequels to Black Panther (2018) and Captain Marvel (2019),[18][19] and a film based on the Fantastic Four.[20] Feige also noted that the studio had films scheduled to be released after 2021 which would not be officially announced or given release dates at that time.[21] A month later at D23, Feige announced three more Disney+ series that would be released as part of the Phase Four slate: Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight,[22] and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,[22][23] as well as the Black Panther sequel with the placeholder title Black Panther II and a May 6, 2022, release.[24] In September, Disney and Sony Pictures announced that Marvel Studios and Feige would return to produce Spider-Man: No Way Home, set for release during this phase.[25][26]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and further work

Black Widow was removed from Disney's release schedule in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[27] Discussing this decision for Variety, Adam B. Vary and Matt Donnelly questioned whether the MCU could be impacted more by this delay than other big properties due to the interconnected nature of the franchise, though a Marvel Studios source told the pair that changing Black Widow's release date would not affect the rest of the MCU timeline.[28] In April, Disney changed its entire Phase Four release slate, scheduling Black Widow when Eternals had been set for release in November 2020 and moving all its other Phase Four films back in the schedule to accommodate this.[29] Later that month, Sony delayed Spider-Man: No Way Home to November 2021, resulting in Disney adjusting the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder.[30] In July 2020, Disney confirmed that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier would not release in August 2020 as planned, because the series had not completed filming due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[31] while Sony pushed back the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home to December 2021.[32] In early September, WandaVision was set to be the first television series released for the phase as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's release was pushed back to 2021 due to its production delays.[33][34] Later that month, Black Widow's release was delayed to May 2021, resulting in Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings also being rescheduled;[35] this made 2020 the first year since 2009 without a Marvel Studios release.[36] When adjusting the release of the films and series in the phase, Marvel Studios was being cognizant to ensure major story points would not be spoiled with the new release order,[14] but Feige noted many of the properties in the Phase were mostly standalone or a continuation from Endgame.[37] He also credited the studio's "long lead plan" for being able to avoid any creative shifts to their Phase Four plans because of the pandemic, only shuffling release dates and production schedules.[38] Additionally, he stated that many of the series had their release dates shifted only "by a matter of weeks" from their original dates.[39] The only significant aspect of the phase that was affected by the pandemic was Julia Louis-Dreyfus's introduction as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, which came in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier rather than Black Widow as was originally planned, since Black Widow ended up being released after the series.[40][41]

In December 2020, Marvel Studios adjusted Thor: Love and Thunder and Black Panther II back in its schedule, to May 6 and July 8, 2022, respectively,[42][43] and also announced Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Fantastic Four were in development,[44][45][46] along with the Disney+ miniseries Secret Invasion, Ironheart,[47] and Armor Wars (later changed to a film),[47][48] The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and the series of short films I Am Groot.[49][50] These new Disney+ series, plus Black Panther II, Captain Marvel 2 (later retitled The Marvels), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Fantastic Four, were believed to be a part of Phase Four at this time.[51] In March 2021, Disney moved Black Widow to July 2021 (taking the spot of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), and announced that it would release simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was moved to September 2021, with the intent for a theatrical-only release.[52] In May, Marvel Studios announced the title for the Black Panther sequel as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.[53] Feige described the phase as being about "continuing in new ways and... leaving the Infinity Saga behind [for] a new beginning".[54] By August 2021, a Halloween-themed television special for Disney+ was in development, reportedly centered on Werewolf by Night.[55] In October 2021, Marvel Studios further adjusted Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to May 6, July 8, and November 11, 2022, respectively,[56] because of production-related issues.[56][57]

In late June 2022, Feige indicated that Phase Four was nearing its conclusion, stating audiences would begin to see where the next saga of the MCU would be heading, and that there had been many clues in the phase to what that would be. He said Marvel Studios would be a "little more direct" on their future plans in the following months to provide audiences with "the bigger picture [so they] can see a tiny, tiny bit more of the roadmap".[58] At Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con panel in July, Feige announced that Wakanda Forever would conclude Phase Four, with other films and Disney+ series believed to be part of the phase moving to Phase Five and Phase Six. He also announced that Phase Four would be the first phase, along with Phases Five and Six, of "The Multiverse Saga".[59] Feige stated that many of the projects in Phases Four and Five, and their post-credit teases, would connect and lead towards the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga, while some would remain standalone.[60] James Gunn, the writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, said that The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was the epilogue of Phase Four.[61] At the 2022 D23 Expo, Marvel confirmed the Halloween special as Werewolf by Night.[62] At that time, Werewolf by Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special were revealed to be marketed as "Marvel Studios Special Presentations".[63][64]

Natasha Romanoff finds herself alone and forced to confront a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Romanoff must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.[80][81]

After exploring the backstory of Scarlett Johansson's character Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Kevin Feige expressed interest in further exploring it in a solo film.[82] By January 2018, Jac Schaeffer was hired to write the script,[83] with Cate Shortland hired to direct that July.[66] Ned Benson was rewriting the script the next February.[84] Schaeffer and Benson received story credit on the film, with Eric Pearson credited for the screenplay.[67] Filming began in May 2019 and concluded that October,[85][86] shooting in Norway, the United Kingdom, Budapest, Morocco, and Georgia.[85][87][88] Black Widow premiered on June 29, 2021, at various red carpet fan events in London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and New York City,[89][90] and was released in the United States on July 9, 2021, in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access.[52]

Black Widow is set in 2016, mostly taking place between the main plot of Captain America: Civil War (2016) and its final scene.[91] William Hurt reprises his role as Thaddeus Ross from previous MCU films.[92] Black Widow's post-credits scene features Julia Louis-Dreyfus, uncredited, as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine from the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021),[41] and sets up Florence Pugh's appearance in the series Hawkeye (2021) as Yelena Belova.[93] Jeremy Renner has an uncredited voice cameo in his MCU role of Clint Barton / Hawkeye, while a picture of him is also featured.[94]

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

When Shang-Chi is drawn into the clandestine Ten Rings organization, he is forced to confront the past he thought he left behind.[95]

By December 2018, Marvel Studios was actively developing their first Asian-led film for Shang-Chi, with Dave Callaham hired to write the screenplay,[96] and Destin Daniel Cretton to direct by March 2019.[68] At the San Diego Comic-Con that July, Simu Liu was revealed to play the title role, along with Tony Leung as Wenwu.[12][95] Filming began in February 2020,[97][98] but was halted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[99] Production resumed in August and concluded that October.[100][101] Shooting occurred in Australia and San Francisco.[97][102] In April 2021, Cretton was revealed as a credited writer along with Callaham and Andrew Lanham.[69][103] Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premiered in Los Angeles on August 16, 2021,[104] and was released in the United States on September 3, 2021.[52]

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[105] during the days leading to the Qingming Festival in early April.[106] Benedict Wong reprises his role as Wong from previous MCU films,[107] along with Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, an impostor posing as the Mandarin, from Iron Man 3 (2013) and the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King (2014).[108] The Ten Rings organization has been featured or referenced in Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), All Hail the King, and Ant-Man (2015).[109] Tim Roth also provided uncredited vocals for Emil Blonsky / Abomination, reprising the role from The Incredible Hulk (2008),[107][110] while the mid-credits scene features Mark Ruffalo and Brie Larson, uncredited, in their respective MCU roles of Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel.[111]

After the return of half the population ignites "the emergence", the Eternals—an immortal alien race created by the Celestials who have secretly lived on Earth for over 7,000 years—reunite to protect humanity from their evil counterparts, the Deviants.[112][113]

By early 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a film for the Eternals, with Kaz Firpo and Ryan Firpo writing the script to focus on a love story between the characters Sersi and Ikaris.[114][115][70] Late that September, Chloé Zhao was hired to direct The Eternals,[70] and also served as the film's credited writer along with Patrick Burleigh and the Firpos.[71][72] Filming occurred from July 2019 to February 2020, shooting throughout England.[116][117] The main cast, headlined by Richard Madden as Ikaris and Angelina Jolie as Thena, was announced at the July 2019 San Diego Comic-Con,[12] with Gemma Chan cast as Sersi the next month.[24] The title was shortened in August 2020.[118] Eternals premiered in Los Angeles on October 18, 2021,[119] and was released in the United States on November 5.[35]

Seeking help from Stephen Strange to try and fix everything, things soon become much more dangerous when the multiverse breaks open, allowing villains from alternate realities who have previously fought versions of Spider-Man to arrive.[124][125]

A third MCU Spider-Man film was planned by early 2017 to be set during Peter Parker's senior year of high school,[126][127] with Feige later saying it would tell "a Peter Parker story" not previously done on film due to the mid-credits scene in Spider-Man: Far From Home.[128] By August 2019, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers were writing the script while Disney and Sony split on adjusting their agreement over Marvel Studios' involvement in Spider-Man films,[74][129] but announced the next month they would co-produce the film, with Tom Holland returning to star,[25] along with Jon Watts as director by June 2020.[73] Filming began in October 2020 in New York City,[130] before moving to Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia later that month.[131][132] The title was officially announced in February 2021,[26] before filming concluded in late March.[133] Producer Amy Pascal described the film as "the culmination of the Homecoming trilogy".[134] Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered in Los Angeles on December 13, 2021,[135] and was released in the United States on December 17, 2021.[26]

WandaVision (2021)

Jac Schaeffer, writer of Black Widow and head writer of WandaVision

Wanda Maximoff and Vision are living an idyllic suburban life in the town of Westview, New Jersey, trying to conceal their true natures. As their surroundings begin to move through different decades and they encounter various television tropes, the couple suspects that things are not as they seem.[14]

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a limited series starring Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany as Vision, with a focus on their relationship.[7][201] Jac Schaeffer was hired to write the first episode and serve as head writer in January 2019,[188][202] and the series was officially announced and titled that April, with Olsen and Bettany confirmed.[202][203] It explores where Maximoff's alias the Scarlet Witch comes from.[204] Filming began in November 2019 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios,[205][206] with Matt Shakman directing the series,[22] but was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[207] Production resumed in Los Angeles in September 2020,[208] and concluded that November.[209] WandaVision premiered on January 15, 2021,[36] and ran for nine episodes, concluding on March 5, 2021.[210][211] It will be followed by two spin-off series: Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, starring Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, which is set to debut in late 2024,[212] as part of Phase Five,[59] and Vision Quest, starring Bettany as The Vision.[213]

WandaVision is set three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame,[214] and directly sets up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which also features Maximoff.[14] Teyonah Parris plays an adult version of Monica Rambeau, who appeared as a child in Captain Marvel, played by Akira Akbar,[215] while Randall Park and Kat Dennings reprise their MCU roles of Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis in the series.[22] Evan Peters appears as Ralph Bohner, a man posing as Wanda's deceased brother Pietro, who was portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in previous MCU films. This was a nod to Peters' role as Peter Maximoff in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series.[216][217] The organization S.W.O.R.D. was introduced in the series, one of the first comic elements previously controlled by Fox to be integrated into the MCU following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney,[218][219] while the Darkhold is also featured, after previously appearing in the Marvel Television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Runaways with a different design.[220][221]

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)

Sam Wilson teams up with Bucky Barnes on a global mission to stop an anti-patriotism group, the Flag Smashers, who are enhanced with a recreation of the Super Soldier Serum and believe the world was better during the Blip.[222]

By late October 2018, Malcolm Spellman was hired to write and serve as head writer on a limited series starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier.[189][8][202] The series was officially announced and titled in April 2019, with Mackie and Stan confirmed.[202] Filming began in October 2019, in Atlanta,[223] with Kari Skogland directing the series,[190] but was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[224] Production resumed in early September 2020,[225] and concluded late the next month.[226] The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiered on March 19, 2021,[34] and ran for six episodes,[190] concluding on April 23, 2021.[227] A feature film, Captain America: Brave New World (2025), starring Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America, serves as a continuation of the series,[228] and is part of Phase Five.[59]

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is set six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame.[229] Georges St-Pierre, Don Cheadle, Daniel Brühl, Emily VanCamp, and Florence Kasumba reprise their respective MCU roles of Georges Batroc,[230] James "Rhodey" Rhodes,[231] Helmut Zemo, Sharon Carter,[232][22] and Ayo.[233] Julia Louis-Dreyfus appears as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the series. Louis-Dreyfus had been expected to first appear in Black Widow before pandemic delays pushed the film's release until after the series.[234]

Loki season 1 (2021)

After stealing the Tesseract, an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA) to help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat, ending up trapped in a crime thriller of his own making, traveling through time.[235][236][237]

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a limited series starring Tom Hiddleston as Loki,[7] which Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that November.[238] In February 2019, Michael Waldron was hired as head writer,[191][202] and Hiddleston was confirmed to reprise his title role.[239] Filming began in February 2020,[240] with Kate Herron directing the series,[192] but was suspended that March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[207] Production resumed in September 2020 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios,[241] and concluded in early December.[240] The first season of Loki premiered on June 9, 2021,[242] and ran for six episodes,[243] concluding on July 14, 2021.[242] A second season debuted in October 2023,[244] as part of Phase Five.[59]

Loki begins after the 2012 events seen in Avengers: Endgame, but much of the season exists outside of time and space or in different time periods that the characters travel to.[245] The season ties into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,[246] and Feige said it would be "tremendously important" and "lay the groundwork" for the future of the MCU.[247][248]: 1  This includes the appearance of Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains, a variant of the character Kang the Conqueror who appears in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.[249] Jaimie Alexander makes an uncredited cameo appearance as Sif, reprising her role from previous MCU media,[250] while Thor actor Chris Hemsworth has an uncredited cameo as the voice of Throg, a frog version of Thor.[251]

What If...? season 1 (2021)

What If...? explores what would happen if major moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) occurred differently, as observed by the Watcher.[203]

By March 2019, Marvel Studios was developing an animated anthology series based on the What If comic book concept to explore how the MCU would be altered if certain events had occurred differently.[252] Jeffrey Wright was revealed to narrate the series as the Watcher that July,[12] with voice recording beginning the next month.[253] Production continued remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, with on-site work suspended.[254] A. C. Bradley serves as head writer with Bryan Andrews directing.[193] The first season of What If...? premiered on August 11, 2021,[255] and ran for nine episodes,[256] concluding on October 6, 2021.[257] It was produced by Marvel Studios Animation.[258] A second season debuted in December 2023,[259] as part of Phase Five.[260]

What If...? is set after the establishment of the multiverse in Loki's first season finale.[261] Many actors from the films voice their respective characters in the season.[262]

Hawkeye (2021)

Clint Barton must work together with the young Kate Bishop to confront enemies from his past time as Ronin to get back to his family in time for Christmas.[263]

By April 2019, Marvel Studios was developing a limited series starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye, which would involve Barton passing the mantle of Hawkeye to the character Kate Bishop.[264] At the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, the series was officially announced with it exploring more of Barton's time as the vigilante Ronin,[12][265] with Jonathan Igla hired as head writer that September while Hailee Steinfeld was in consideration to portray Bishop.[194][266] Steinfeld was confirmed as Bishop in early December 2020,[267] when filming began in New York City,[268] with both Rhys Thomas and Bert & Bertie each directing a block of episodes.[195] Shooting also occurred at Trilith Studios in Atlanta,[269][270] and concluded in late April 2021.[271] Hawkeye premiered on November 24, 2021,[272] and ran for six episodes,[273] concluding on December 22.[274] A spin-off series, Echo, starring Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez / Echo, is set for release in January 2024,[212] as part of Phase Five.[59]

Hawkeye is set one year after the events of Avengers: Endgame during the 2024 Christmas season,[275][276] and occurs over the course of about a week.[277] Florence Pugh reprises her role as Yelena Belova / Black Widow from Black Widow,[267] along with Linda Cardellini as Barton's wife Laura from previous MCU films,[278] and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin from Marvel Television's Netflix series Daredevil (2015–2018).[279]

Moon Knight (2022)

Marc Spector, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, is drawn into a deadly mystery involving Egyptian gods with his multiple identities, such as Steven Grant.[280]

At the August 2019 D23 Expo, Marvel Studios announced that a series centered on Marc Spector / Moon Knight was in development,[22] with Jeremy Slater hired as head writer that November.[196] In October 2020, Oscar Isaac entered negotiations to portray the title role,[281] and was confirmed to have been cast by January 2021.[197] Filming began in late April 2021 in Budapest,[282] with Mohamed Diab and duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead directing episodes of the series,[197] and concluded in early October in Hungary and Jordan,[283][284] before moving to Atlanta.[284] Filming wrapped by mid-October.[285] Moon Knight premiered on March 30, 2022,[286] and ran for six episodes,[287] concluding on May 4.[288]

Moon Knight is set after Hawkeye in early 2025.[289][290]

Ms. Marvel (2022)

Kamala Khan, a fan of the Avengers, particularly Carol Danvers, struggles to fit in until she gains her own powers.[291]

Werewolf by Night (2022)

A secret group of monster hunters gather at Bloodstone Castle following the death of their leader and engage in a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic, which will bring them face to face with a dangerous monster.[314]

By August 2021, Marvel Studios was developing a Halloween-themed television special for Disney+ that was reportedly centered on Werewolf by Night.[55] Gael García Bernal was cast in the lead role for the special in November,[315] starring as the Jack Russell version of the character.[62] Filming began in late March 2022 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,[316][317][318] with Michael Giacchino directing the special,[318][62] and Heather Quinn and Peter Cameron co-writing the screenplay,[312] and concluded by late April 2022.[319] It was formally announced as Werewolf by Night in September 2022, and released on October 7, 2022.[62]

Werewolf by Night exists within the MCU but does not state "when, how or why". Giacchino has "a very specific idea" of how the special fits into the MCU that had not been discussed with Marvel Studios.[320]

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022)

James Gunn, writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

The Guardians of the Galaxy celebrate Christmas and set out to Earth to find Peter Quill the best present.[321]

In December 2020, Marvel Studios announced that James Gunn would write and direct a new television special featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy,[313] with the main cast returning.[322][323] Filming began by February 2022 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta,[324][325] and concluded in late April 2022,[326] during the production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023).[327] Shooting also occurred in Los Angeles.[328] The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was released on November 25, 2022.[329]

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is set "a fairly long time" after the Guardians parting ways with Thor as seen in Thor: Love and Thunder,[169] and before the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.[330] The Holiday Special allowed Gunn to introduce important elements to Vol. 3 that he then would not need to explain at the beginning of that film.[331]

Many of the properties in the Phase are set after the events of Avengers: Endgame. WandaVision is set three weeks after the events of that film,[214] with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier set six months after Endgame.[229] Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is also set after Endgame during the days leading to the Qingming Festival in early April,[105][106] with She-Hulk: Attorney at Law set "a relatively short amount of time" after Shang-Chi.[310][344] Eternals takes place around the same time as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Spider-Man: Far From Home, six to eight months after Endgame in 2024,[120][121] while Spider-Man: No Way Home begins immediately after Far From Home, and continues over late 2024.[136] Hawkeye takes place one year after the events of Endgame during the 2024 Christmas season,[275][276] occurring over the course of about a week.[277]

Moon Knight is set after Hawkeye in early 2025,[289][290] while Multiverse of Madness is set after No Way Home.[156][157] Ms. Marvel is set after Moon Knight, one to two years after Endgame.[299] Thor: Love and Thunder is also set after Endgame,[160] eight and a half years after Thor broke up with Jane Foster, which had occurred by Thor: Ragnarok,[168] and "a few weeks" since Thor joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.[169] Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set after the events of No Way Home, "potentially concurrent" with Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,[185] though it was placed earlier in the timeline between Moon Knight and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law with its addition to Disney+.[343] The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is set "a fairly long time" after the events of Love and Thunder and before the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.[169][330]

The first season of Loki continues from the 2012 events seen in Endgame, but much of the series exists outside of time and space given the introduction of the TVA.[245][246] What If...? is set after Loki's first season finale, exploring the various branching timelines of the newly created multiverse in which major moments from the MCU films occur differently.[203][261] Black Widow is set between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War (2018), mostly taking place between the main plot of Civil War and its final scene.[91] The I Am Groot shorts are set between the end of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and the start of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), and the end of Vol. 2 and its mid-credits scene.[338] The special Werewolf by Night exists within the MCU but does not state "when, how or why". The director Michael Giacchino has "a very specific idea" of how the special fits into the MCU that had not been discussed with Marvel Studios.[320]

With the release of Thor: Love and Thunder on Disney+ in September 2022, Thomas Bacon and Molly Jae Weinstein of Screen Rant noted how the film's placement in the timeline order section on the platform seemed incorrect,[345][347] with Bacon saying it made "no sense" given dialogue and events in the film that contradicted this placement, and also pointing out how Shang-Chi and Moon Knight's placement also ignored dating information given in each. Bacon said, "The MCU's timeline is now complicated by the sheer volume of Marvel films and TV shows currently in production, because even Marvel's key decision-makers don't really know quite what order things will be released."[345] Unlike the earlier phases where each new project was often the next chronological title in the timeline,[347] Phase Four "has hopped around the timeline with impunity", which in turn made it "rather messy".[345] With the release of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Bacon believed its placement on the Disney+ timeline "fixed" Love and Thunder's placement, thinking that film should be placed in late 2024 on the timeline.[346]

Marketing

In early January 2021, Marvel announced their "Marvel Must Haves" program, which reveals new toys, games, books, apparel, home decor, and other merchandise from Hasbro, Lego, Funko, Her Universe, Loungefly and others based on the episodes of Disney+ series WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If...?, and Hawkeye. The program began on January 18, 2021, with new reveals each Monday until the end of 2021. Paul Gitter, senior vice president of Marvel Licensing called the program "an unprecedented weekly celebration" with products that "authentically celebrate each new episode".[356] The program continued into 2022 with Moon Knight,[357] Ms. Marvel,[358] and She Hulk: Attorney at Law.[359] In May 2022, Marvel Studios, Funko, and Target announced the Marvel Studios Selects program, in which Funko items based on the MCU films and television series would be released monthly exclusively at Target.[360]

QR codes first appeared in Moon Knight that linked viewers to a website to access free digital comics featuring the character that updated weekly. Adam B. Vary of Variety called the initiative "a savvy way to expand viewers' comic book knowledge" for the more obscure character of Moon Knight. Executive producer Grant Curtis explained that he had been fascinated with the engagement the animated series Bob's Burgers had with their gags in the opening and closing credits and their "burger of the week", and believed that interactivity could be brought to Moon Knight to "help educate viewers on Moon Knight's comic book history". He realized that QR codes would be a good way to "organically incorporate... into the environment", and the codes were added into the episodes with CGI by the visual effects team. Curtis was hopeful the project would continue for other MCU films and series.[361] The program continued with Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.[362][363]

Ahead of WandaVision premiering to start the phase, Julia Alexander at The Verge wondered if Marvel Studios would be oversaturating their content, saying that having essentially "a new Marvel thing each week [in 2021] is either a blessing or a curse" depending on how viewers felt about the MCU. While Alexander felt franchise fatigue was possible, she said Marvel Studios and Disney's biggest concern was losing trust from the fanbase, pointing to the Star Wars sequel trilogy (2015–2019) as an example of a large portion of fans not being pleased with the quality of the content. Alexander was encouraged by the fact that Feige was leading development of the Disney+ series, unlike the past Marvel television series that were led by Marvel Television's Jeph Loeb, and she felt the studio "just needs to keep doing what it's already doing" and give the "same level of attention" to extending the overarching story from the past films to the Disney+ series.[429] With The Falcon and the Winter Soldier being described as a "six-hour movie", Christian Holub of Entertainment Weekly noted that this led to the series simultaneously "try[ing] to do too much and too little at once" and hoped future Disney+ series would be structured more like television episodes as WandaVision was, even if they did not employ the meta quality that series did with the format.[430]

Deadline Hollywood's Anthony D'Alessandro, writing after audiences polled by CinemaScore gave Eternals a "B" and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness a "B+" (two of the lowest CinemaScores for MCU films), said this should be a "splash of cold water in Marvel's face". He discussed some fan concerns that Phase Four was not as cohesive as the projects in the first three MCU phases, with most of those films building towards the Infinity Saga storyline, and felt that this was impacting on the box office of the new films. He suggested that Marvel Studios "regroup, re-think and get these movies back on track".[431] Meredith Loftus of Collider agreed that Phase Four felt "disjointed" by the release of Multiverse of Madness, stating that each project was "complex and challenging, exploring themes of grief, mental illness, and family trauma... [but] what's made Phase Four so strong is also its weakness—while we're getting to deepen new and old characters alike, the expansive universe these characters live in feels isolated". She highlighted Moon Knight's lack of connections to the rest of the MCU, and discussed how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness did not address the events of Loki and Spider-Man: No Way Home as some had expected. Loftus concluded, "Maybe this is a lesson in audience expectations, but when a studio has built a cinematic universe off the back of each movie with a through-line story for over a decade, the lack of one in Phase Four makes it feel incomplete."[432] James Whitbrook of Gizmodo also noted the lack of a singular threat for each of the phase's projects, like Thanos in the Infinity Saga, and said the multiverse storyline was the closest the phase had got to a "unifying build-up". He added that "this sense of aimlessness feels odd to an audience that has, over a decade, been trained to connect the dots and see how each of Marvel's releases connects to the others", with the films and Disney+ series "rarely [feeling] like they're in conversation with each other".[433] Writing for Variety, Adam B. Vary agreed that "there is no sense yet of where Phase Four is heading—if, indeed, it is heading in any single direction", but he felt this could be "a feature, not a bug", explaining, "With the explosion of MCU content on Disney+, there may be simply too many titles to hold together into one consolidated storyline". He did note that the multiverse plays a significant role in Loki, What If...?, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, that potential "Big Bads" had been introduced, including Kang, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Arishem, and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, and that the phase could be building to an unannounced Young Avengers film since members of that team had been appearing in many Phase Four projects.[434] Journalists Joanna Robinson and Eric Goldman responded in support of Vary's article,[435][436] with Robinson adding that, despite what some fans believed, the Infinity Saga was not completely planned out and instead was made cohesive by "luck and cleverness".[435] Goldman felt that some of this was fans retroactively treating each Infinity Saga film as having more importance to the overall storyline than they did when first released, and he said the same could happen to the Phase Four films once more was known about their connections to the next storyline.[436]

Matthew Belloni, a former editor for The Hollywood Reporter and a writer for Puck News, and Sean Fennessey of The Ringer, discussed whether the MCU films and series were in a decline. Belloni noted how Marvel have "taken really idiosyncratic filmmakers in Chloé Zhao and Sam Raimi and tried to plug them into this formula, but given them a little bit more freedom" than previous MCU directors had for their films, and questioned whether this was a "mistake to stray too much from the Marvel formula?", and if this approach to "do it the same, but different" while still making it feel fresh and familiar for the audience would be necessary for the franchise to succeed going forward. Fennessey believed Marvel did not stray too much with these filmmakers, citing Marvel's history of hiring filmmakers with distinct tones and perspectives and being able to "blend [their] vision" with it, but felt the tone of Zhao's previous films did not "[make] any sense for a Marvel movie" or match Marvel's prior storytelling, and that Raimi's history with Marvel and his background making horror films was an attempt "to plug the dam" after Derrickson left as the Multiverse of Madness director, and that his hiring was "like a marriage of convenience and friendship, more so than like a bold choice to choose an unusual filmmaker". Fennessey said Eternals felt "fully disconnected" from the MCU's prior stories and that its more cosmic direction could lead toward future stories, but believed its "ill fit" and "very strange" choices behind the scenes made it look bad, and that the film was "more egregious" than Multiverse of Madness. Belloni compared the MCU's increasing output to Pixar when it began producing more animated films and said that experiencing a "drop-off in quality" was "the cost of doing business if you want to produce films at scale", but felt there was not a "huge cause for alarm at Marvel just yet".[437] Belloni later said that Marvel needed "to figure out how to generate Avenger-level interest from non-Avenger properties", and that the then-forthcoming releases of Marvel's next Disney+ series Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law would be "another big test for fans", but did not feel Marvel's series output was in trouble at that time.[438]

Benedict Wong appears as Wong in many of the Phase Four projects, which resulted in Feige jokingly referring to the franchise as becoming the "Wong Cinematic Universe"; this was also used by many on the internet.[439] These appearances were likened to Phil Coulson, a character who appeared in many of the Phase One films.[440][441]

Accolades

The films of the phase have been nominated for seven Academy Awards,[442] twelve MTV Movie & TV Awards (winning three),[443][444] and nine Visual Effects Society Awards (winning one),[445][446] among others. The television series' of the phase have been nominated for 14 Critics' Choice Super Awards (winning four),[447][448] three Golden Reel Awards,[449] among others.
