The San Diego Comic Con has brought out a great deal of interesting news concerning upcoming projects for geeks and nerds such as myself. DC has me hyped with the trailers for Black Adam (starring Dwayne Johnson) and Shazam 2. Meanwhile, Marvel let fly that Phase 4 of the MCU will conclude this year with the Black Panther sequel this November. The trailer looked amazing! They then gave a big surprise by laying out all 12 projects of Phase 5 (which will take us from February of 2023 to July of 2024) AND noting three projects of Phase 6--The Fantastic 4 to start it in November of 2024 and two Avengers movies to tie together Phases 4, 5, and 6 in May and November of 2025.
Thus far, Phase 4 has been as disjointed as titles like "Multiverse of Madness" might suggest. Unlike the previous Phases, there hasn't been a strong narrative thread holding them together. However, today's announcement that the three Phases will be collectively referred to as the Multiverse Saga (the first three Phases are called the Infinity Saga) with a two-part Avengers storyline to conclude it (like the last one) gives me some hope that the MCU is not simply spiraling out of control. It does, however, make me a little concerned about ever being able to marathon all of these stories together.
Now THAT would truly be madness ...
