MCU Before Phase 5 | Everything you need to Remember

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting its fifth phase in 2023. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is coming out in February and Volume 3 of Guardians of the Galaxy is on its way in May. The whole world is screaming about Thunderbolts, one of Marvel’s most anticipated films yet. With that, we’re just scratching the surface of what’s to come in the MCU. We’ve got to prepare for it, and we’re ready to do all the dirty work here now, with you.

In this video, we break down as many pieces of Phase 4 as possible that could lead to probable plot points and characters in Phase 5 of the MCU. We talk about how Black Widow sets up Thunderbolts, WandaVision sets up Agatha: Coven of Chaos, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings sets up multiple projects, as does The Eternals, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Hawkeye, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Thor: Love and Thunder. We talk about how Falcon and the Winter Soldier sets up Captain America: New World Order and Wakanda Forever sets up Ironheart. No Way Home sets up Daredevil: Born Again and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special sets up Vol. 3 of the series and gives us Chad-Groot (an obviously essential plot point). We end off with how Loki Season 1 completely set up the Multiverse Saga and hopes for Werewolf by Night, What if…? season 2, and Moon Knight. It’s impossible to cover everything, but we can surely try.

The sentiment is:

- There’s too much
- Not enough of it is good
- Too many characters
- Too confusing

Thanks. I didn't wanna watch phase 4 so this is really useful.

[tatsukagemarou]

I missed Ms marvel, ( intentionally) and guardians special. I gotta watch that one

[MattKumm]

I thought Phase 5 was supposed to get Deadpool 3. I guess the outcome of Ryan vs Disney wasn't a good one.

[kkrsnn]

I only watched Dr Strange 2 and Thor... will I watch anything in Phase 5 😁?

[heroblue]

Onward to Phase 5. Phase 4, we won't miss you.

I recently watched the new _Scream_ movie. I enjoyed it, mainly because I had watched the original _Scream, _ and who knew that would be so important going into it? If I hadn't, I wouldn't have understood or enjoyed the new one. A movie that requires homework before you watch it is a movie not worth watching, and unfortunately Disney is really banking on you watching every property.

[Mrgoose]

The only reason Im sticking around with MCU movies and shows ( Mind you I don't watch all of them) is because of Deadpool. When Ryan Reynolds is done with the character, then Im done with the MCU.

[koffieleut]

What I believe will happen in phase 5 is that people are getting tired of the MCU and less people are watching it so it will be cancelled halfway through.

After about 3 years Disney is going to pick it up again because of munnies and maybe people will watch it again.

[DarkBlade]

Sorry I don't acknowledge Phase 4s existence

[DMForever]

I still have no idea what GOTG3 is about

[ScottieMacF]

Really too many characters to keep track of.

[ac]

The MCU is a sad shell of its former glory. Too much canon-destroying, personality-altering, woke-injecting crap. Just not fun any more...

[karasz]

Don't need to remember.. tuned out after endgame.

[paulkurtz]

This was terrible, besides shilling for Papa Disney you forgot to mention Deadpool 3. You didn't bring up what if. You brought up the eternals even though they are less likely to show up after bombing at the box office then certain other characters like Moon Knight.

[dasparadoxon]

hmmmm. the MCU lost me a long time ago.

[MyWasteOfTime]

I predict more WOKE BS that I won't watch!
