MCU Phase 4: Predicting Every Unannounced Movie

A Captain America film... without Captain America?

Phase Three is still over a year away from ending for good, and yet - for better or for worse - everyone seems to be getting pretty excited about the next one.

Phase Four, set to kick-off with Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 in the summer of 2019, looks to be a markedly different one compared to the phases of old, with both Infinity War and the yet-to-be-titled fourth Avengers film promising much in the way of death, destruction, and change. Things will never be the same, ostensibly, and with some key personalities looking to depart over the course of the next few years, it could be said that - from 2019 onwards - Marvel have quite the task ahead of them.

Homecoming 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 are confirmed for Marvel's latest phase, with the House of Mouse planning a veritable 'high school trilogy' for Peter Parker and... something else, presumably, for Star-Lord, Gamora et. al. As for those other projects (two of which are set to fill those 2020 slots along with Guardians), Marvel have kept things quiet - and for good reason too.

That doesn't mean we can't have a crack at predicting what those unannounced films are though, and with three films per anum the norm for the studio, that leaves us with at least eight to discern, as well as an extra two (just to be on the safe side).

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
