Although it ’s been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic , Phase Four of theMarvel Cinematic Universeis arrive . The first three phase have been chunk together under the streamer “ the Infinity Saga . ” Phase Four will act as the first stage of a Modern saga , lay up storylines that will carry on in the next tenner of superhero epics .
In addition to starting Modern storylines that will culminate in anEndgame - sized cinematic smackdown at the end of Phase Six ( or whatever Feige and co. have planned ) , there are a few dissonant plot threads from the Infinity Saga that Phase Four should continue .
Peter Parker’s Identity Crisis
It seems like a given that the third MCU Spidey moving picture will follow up onits harbinger ’s shameful bend finish , but it deserves a mention as one of the most exciting prospects for Phase Four .
The threequel is shaping up to be one heck of a finale . Peter ’s identity being revealed blow the storytelling possibilities wide open , while the molding of Jamie Foxx as Electro teases both the origination of the Sinister Six and a alive - action Spider - Verse .
The Ten Rings
establish on the titleShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsand the fact that Tony Leung has been cast to play therealMandarin ( after the crushing disappointment ofIron Man 3 ’s fake - out ) , it ’s safe to say that Phase Four will be continuing this plot line .
The Ten Rings are a shady terrorist administration lurking in the shadow of the Marvel universe . They ’ve been rally as the grouping that abducted Tony Stark inIron Manand a Ten Rings tattoo can be seen during the Yellowjacket auction , but Phase Four needs to stop beating around the bush and just dive headfirst into this sour plot line .
The Creation Of Adam Warlock
One ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 ’s many mid - credits tantrum saw the Sovereign creating an stilted being up to of killing the Guardians and naming it “ Adam . ” This teased the intromission of Adam Warlock , one of the only Marvel characters whose intensity level can equal that of Thanos and Captain Marvel .
However , inInfinity WarandEndgame , Adam was nowhere to be seen . James Gunn has even hinted that he wo n’t come after up his own tantalization inGuardians Vol . 3 . It has to happen sometime !
What Happened When Cap Returned The Infinity Stones?
The history of Captain America travel across the spacetime continuum alone , gird with his vibranium carapace and Thor ’s hammer to return all six Infinity Stones to their original locations , has the potential to be anEndgame - sized epic .
If Chris Evans would be uncoerced to reprise his role followingEndgame ’s pure conclusion to his arc , this could be an amazing ego - contained story — and it could still continue Steve ’s electric arc , as he ’d have to confront Red Skull again .
Sif
The sidelining of Lady Sif in the MCU is as baffling as it is thwarting . Sif is one of the greatest part in the Thor comics ; Jaimie Alexander is both a fantastic doer and enthusiastic about the character ; and there ’s a ton of narrative potential in Sif protecting the Nine Realms when Thor is n’t around .
Chris Hemsworth specify to stick around as Thor for a while , and reviving Sif as one of his closest support characters could be a big agency to prolong his arc .
Gamora’s Whereabouts
A deleted prospect fromAvengers : EndgameseesGamora quietly slinking off the field of battle after Tony Stark ’s death . A aspect in the movie shows Quill using his ship ’s calculator to seek to find her location .
If the search for Gamora does n’t feature conspicuously in the thirdGuardiansmovie after this challenging frame-up , it ’ll be moderately disappointing .
Nova
Nova is one of the most democratic Marvel superheroes who has yet to show up in the flick . But the Infinity Saga set the stagecoach for his introduction . Nova is the last survivor of the Nova Corps after its end . Thanks to Thanos ’ search for the Infinity Stones , Xandar has been blown up .
Everything about Nova ’s ancestry story has been depicted in the MCU except for the actual coming into court of Nova himself .
Ultron’s Rogue Head
Just as theShang - Chimovie is about toredo the Mandarin afterIron Man 3 ’s disappointing portrayal , the same could be done for Ultron in a succeeding MCU movie . Spider - Man : Homecomingconfirmed that all the Ultron technical school is just posture in a storage warehouse somewhere .
Ultron ’s return could capitalise on James Spader ’s incredible voice acting , but fix what Joss Whedon sustain ill-timed about the genocidal A.I. and get more Isaac Asimov with the reference and less Michael Bay .
Adrian Toomes And Mac Gargan In Prison
In the mid - credits scene ofSpider - Man : Homecoming , an gaol Adrian Toomes is enquire for Spidey ’s material identity by Mac Gargan , who claims he has multitude on the outside waiting to kill him .
Toomes protect Peter ’s indistinguishability , but it ’s not well-defined if he does it as a favor to Peter for saving his life or because he want to deal with Peter himself . This plot of land peak might actually be expanded in Sony ’s Marvel franchise , free-base on the surprisal appearance of the MCU ’s Toomes ( wearing his prison jumpsuit , no less ) in theMorbiustrailer .
Asgardians Of The Galaxy
At the end ofAvengers : Endgame , as the Guardians of the Galaxy were gush off into the farthest reaching of place , Thor join them , constitute the alliance “ the Asgardians of the Galaxy . ”
While no one actually want the name “ Asgardians of the Galaxy ” to become permanent , there is a lot of storytelling potential in a Thor / Guardians squad - up . The Guardians have been confirmed to appear in Taika Waititi ’s upcomingThor : Love and Thunder , but that might just be a cameo appearance .
