Phase 4 and Beyond: A mini series

Part-3

Beyond Phase 4:

With the main MCU characters covered we can discuss what they still can bring to the table and what has yet to be included.

The X-men:

According to the almighty Kevin there are no official plans to include the X-men into the MCU yet. This isn’t a surprise since the last horrible Fox X-men movies are finally hitting theaters this summer. Maybe after a few years and the atrocities that were that franchise die out of the collective memory we can finally have some good mutants. Maybe if we are lucky we can get a decent Quicksilver in the MCU too.

Deadpool:

The one exception to this mutant ban is Deadpool. It appears the MCU is headlining this character so much so that he is already on the Disney+ main advertising banner. It has also been said by Bob Iger that they will not be toning Deadpool down. Hopefully that’s true.

The Fantastic Four:

Just like the X-men there are currently no plans on how they are going to bring the first superhero family into the MCU. Hopefully it will happen soon.

The Defenders:

After their brief stint on Netflix, Disney has taken back the rights to these heroes. The sad thing is they probably won’t appear in the MCU anytime soon. Netflix has put a hefty penalty of Disney uses the characters within two years of their cancellations. Maybe New York won’t be so safe, for now, but someday our street level heroes will return.

A-Force:

With the surprise glimpse of a possible all female Avengers team in Endgame, it’s no surprise fans are demanding an A-Force movie. There are no official plans as of yet and with Gwyneth Paltrow resigning from the MCU we know Rescue will not be part of the team. That’s not saying it won’t happen but without Rescue or Black Widow the team will definitely be missing something.

Iron Man:

With the passing of Tony at the end of Endgame we all cried a little. And with his death leaves a giant hole in most of our hearts. While his time is currently over in the MCU I highly doubt the character is done. Like in any good comic book, the best heroes never stay dead.

Captain America:

While not dead in the MCU, it does appear the current Captain is done. The mantle has already been passed on and honestly I don’t think that’s the end of Steve quite yet. Only time will tell.

This mini series ended up being much longer than I expected. But at least it gives Marvel fans things to look forward to.
