MCU Phase 4: Predicting Every Unannounced Movie

8. Captain America 4

Marvel are yet to make more than three films in a given franchise, and with rumours of a fourth Iron Man film having basically been put to bed a long time ago, it would appear that trend will stay the same into the New Year.

But, then again, the way Marvel have foreshadowed Bucky Barnes' ascension to the Captain America mantle hasn't exactly been subtle. They would certainly seem to be referencing the character's rise to that position in the comics, and with rumours of Sebastian Stan's contract outlasting Chris Evans' by a great margin, it would appear as though all the pieces are in place to make Bucky-Cap a reality on the big-screen.

This could, of course, all be a diversionary tactic on Marvel's behalf, but there's no denying the arc Bucky's been put on since that first Cap film, or those visual cues of him holding Cap's shield either. With that in mind, making a fourth Captain America film - one with Barnes in the lead - doesn't seem all that inconceivable, especially with these next Avengers films promising deaths aplenty.

It might not come in 2020, but don't be surprised to see Stan donning the red, white and blue come Phase Four.
