Now that Marvel Studios has told its biggest ever story with Avengers Endgame, wrapping up 22 movies worth of plot threads in the process, the world wanted to know whats next from the superpower media conglomerate. Its time to know what exactly is the game-plan for Marvel Phase 4.
Thankfully, we now know for sure what the wizards led by Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige are going to do for the next 2 years.
Marvel Announces Its Phase 4 Movies and TV Series
There’s a lot to unpack here. This weekend at Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel took the wraps off its newest properties to hit the big screen (and small screen ’cause Disney+ is coming).
We are getting a female Thor (Jane Foster returns!), a proper horror movie with Dr Strange, and some vampire hunter action with an all-new blade. But before we get too over-excited, lets put it down in a neat little list for everyone:
5 New Films
Here are the 5 new films that we will get to see over the next two years:
Black Widow – May 1, 2020
Natasha Romanov (Scarlet Johansson) returns in this Cate Shortland-directed movie. David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz round up the rest of the star lineup.
We also know who is the big bad for the movie – Taskmaster. We will also get answers to what really went down in Budapest.

Apart from these films, we are getting various TV series for the newly announced Disney+ streaming service:
- Loki
- WandaVision
