Kevin Feig revealed the plans of phase 5 and phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to everyone’s surprise during Comic-Con 2022. Rumors suggested that the participation of the executive president of the studio would be “anecdotal”, and that the big announcements would come later during D23 2022.
Not only were the reports wrong, but the announcements were big, broad, and point the way forward. Marvel Studios with its series and movies in the coming years. Between now and the end of 2025, when phase 6 culminates with Avengers: Secret Wars.
If we take into account that phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ends with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it makes sense to talk about productions that will be released in 2023 and constitute the fifth phase. But the decision of detail each and every one of the series and movies that we will seeand even talk about the sixth phase, was unexpected.
When Feige was asked why, the manager explained that he needed to communicate a point of guidance. That is, to let the fans know that everything we have seen so far has a purpose and will lead us towards something specific. In other words, accepting that, so far, the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a bit of a mess.
The problems of phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
It is one of the main criticisms – in addition to the low quality of some movies and series. The apparent disconnect between productions throughout the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition, there is an ever-larger group of superheroes creating new situations, different priorities and complexity when it comes to integrating everything into a great story.
Added to that, Marvel Studios, like the rest of Hollywood, has suffered greatly from the pandemic. Delays in recordings, absence of audience in theaters and the challenges of facing a blockbuster with security measures to avoid COVID-19 infections.
The reality is that there is a somewhat uneven situation in the themes of the productions of phase 4 of the Cinematic Universe of Marvel. Very little connection, for example, between Eternals Y Falcon and the winter soldier. Though Spider-Man: No Way Home Y Loki are interconnected by the opening of the multiverse, it is only now that we understand where we are heading.
But with the Infinity Saga, the first ten years of the Marvel film franchise, the coherence was much greater. And Feige didn’t feel the need to detail plans so far ahead and so soon. Announce Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Y Avengers: Secret Wars It was reassuring for many, that we have been a bit disappointed at times with the new direction —in terms of quality— that they have taken.
The opening to a large group of new superheroes has undoubtedly brought many good things to the productions of the fourth phase of the Cinematic Universe of Marvel. Much more inclusion, new points of view, and a healthy departure from the classic male, white, American superhero, who does not have a single atom of evil in his body and who saves the world above all else. This new generation of characters are more human, a little more ambiguous and diverse.
It only remains to wait for the series and movies that we see from 2023 to stop suffering in quality. That Black Panther: Wakanda Forever be everything we wanted, and more. Let it be the tribute to Chadwick Boseman that he deserves. And may the culmination of all this be as exciting a cinematic event as it was. infinitywars Y end game.
