10 Things To Expect From Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4

3. More Flailing Properties Jump On The Bandwagon

Many fans figured they'd never, ever see Spider-Man as a part of the MCU, but Sony's abject mismanagement of the property caused them to give in and let Marvel Studios do their thing with the web-slinger.

This partnership has essentially opened the floodgates for other studios to pick up their struggling superhero properties and offer them up to join the MCU. That's not to say Kevin Feige will accept them all, but it wouldn't be a massive shock if, say, the Fantastic Four or Blade made an appearance in the MCU over the next five-or-so years.

Consider how laughable the prospect of Spider-Man appearing in an Avengers film was even just three years ago, and who's to say which downtrodden heroes could get their reputations restored during Phase 4.
