10 Surprising MCU Phase 4 Decisions No One Saw Coming
1. No Sign Of The X-Men Or Fantastic Four...Yet
Most of the Phase 4 slate was set in stone by the time the Disney/Fox acquisition was completed, and while elements from the worlds of the X-Men and Fantastic Four do appear to be finding their way into the MCU, there's no sign of these two superhero teams.
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will feature the fictional nation of Madripoor, while Kang the Conqueror is rumoured to be part of the Loki TV series coming to Disney+. Still, you would think that Marvel Studios might have managed to sneak in a Fantastic Four film in a Phase that shares a rather obvious number in common with them!
Failing that, it's extremely surprising that we're not going to see a big name like Wolverine or Galactus appear (short of some sort of major surprise), but it does make some sense that Kevin Feige and company are looking to take their time and not rush anything.
Still, this long wait to see rebooted versions of the X-Men and Fantastic Four might be Phase 4's biggest mistake, and a delay like this definitely wasn't expected after the merger!
