Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films and television series produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. Phase Five features all of the Marvel Studios productions set to be released during or after 2023.

The Disney+ television series of the phase include the second season of the animated What If...? and the second season of Loki.

Development

By April 2014, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that additional storylines for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were planned through 2028,[1] resulting in many films "on the docket that are completely different from anything that's come before—intentionally".[2] During Marvel Studios' panel at the July 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, Feige announced the films and television series in development for Phase Four of the MCU, before revealing the film Blade and a film based on mutants were also in development.[3][4] After the panel, Feige confirmed that the projects announced before Blade were the full Phase Four slate at the time.[5]

Development work on a second season of the animated series What If...? had begun by December 2019,[6] while Ryan Reynolds confirmed that month that a third Deadpool film after 20th Century Fox's Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018) was in development at Marvel Studios.[7] By November 2020, development on a second season of the television series Loki had begun.[8] Disney has scheduled additional release dates for untitled Marvel Studios films on February 17, May 5, July 28, and November 3, 2023.[9]
