The MCU just keeps getting better and better, and with Infinity War set to shake things up in a pretty massive way come April, fans have gotten pretty excited (and anxious) as to what the future holds.
And that's because the MCU, a franchise populated by familiar characters during the last decade, is heading into uncharted territory. Stars will depart, debuts will come, and the stakes will be raised. It's going to make the franchise's fourth phase a really interesting one to contemplate, and with Disney's tyrannical conquest of Fox opening up the doors for both the X-Men and the Fantastic Four to enter the scene, limits for what ostensibly can - or can't - be told, are getting more and more boundless by the day.
That being said, fans of the MCU are going to have to reconcile their expectations - and ideas - with what the House of Mouse have planned for the future. Brilliant concepts are going to fall on deaf ears, and while there's no reason to doubt Marvel going forward, given just how good their productions have been - certainly over the past few years - there are certain ideas that must be better than what'll have been drafted.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
