Phase Four 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 Four features all of the Marvel Studios productions set to be released in 2020 and 2021. It is the first phase in the franchise to include television series, with Marvel Studios developing several event series for the streaming service Disney+ in addition to the feature films that it was already set to produce.
The phase will begin in May 2020 with the release of the film Black Widow by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, starring Scarlett Johansson. That will be followed by ensemble film The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings starring Simu Liu, sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with Benedict Cumberbatch returning as Dr. Stephen Strange, a sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home with Tom Holland returning as Spider-Man, and concluding with another sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder, with Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster / Mighty Thor.
A number of television series will be released on Disney+ as part of Phase Four. These include The Falcon and the Winter Soldier with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the title roles, WandaVision with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in the title roles, Loki starring Tom Hiddleston, animated series What If...? narrated by Jeffrey Wright, and Hawkeye starring Jeremy Renner. Three other series, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk, have also been announced for the phase.
Development
By October 2016, Disney had scheduled multiple release dates for untitled Marvel Studios films for 2020 and 2021. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said some of the films for those dates were already known, explaining, "We know what [films] we'd like them to be for 2020. Over the years, where we're aiming we've been lucky enough that it's usually been the same thing but we always leave ourselves the opportunity to bob and weave and adapt if we have to."[1] Feige was not sure if Marvel would continue to group the films of the MCU into phases once Phase Three concluded in 2019, saying that "it might be a new thing",[2] but by December 2018 Marvel was believed to be using the term Phase Four.[3] Feige said Marvel hoped to reveal some upcoming films after the release of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[4] with Disney CEO Bob Iger later indicating that Marvel would reveal its slate of post-Avengers: Endgame movies in mid-2019.[5]
By November 2017, Disney was developing a Marvel series specifically for release on its new streaming service Disney+, which it planned to launch before the end of 2019.[6] In September 2018, Marvel Studios was revealed to be developing several limited series for the service, to be centered on "second tier" characters from the MCU films who had not and were unlikely to star in their own films; the actors who portrayed the characters in the films were expected to reprise their roles for the series. Stories for each series were still being decided on, but the series were expected to be six to eight episodes each and have a "hefty [budget] rivaling those of a major studio production". The series would be produced by Marvel Studios rather than Marvel Television, who produced the previous television series set in the MCU. Feige was taking a "hands-on role" in each series' development,[7] focusing on "continuity of story" with the films and "handling" the actors who would be reprising their roles from the films.[8] Feige stated in February 2019 that the series would be "entirely interwoven with both the current MCU, the past MCU, and the future of the MCU",[9] and a month later he elaborated that the series would take characters from the films, change them, and see those changes reflected in future films, unlike the weaker relationship the films have with the Marvel Television series. He also said that new characters introduced in the Disney+ series could go on to appear in films.[10] In May, Feige compared the Disney+ series to the Marvel One-Shots short films that Marvel Studios had previously released alongside their films, saying, "The best thing about the One-Shots is that we got to flesh out other characters. It's tremendously exciting that we now have Disney+ series where we get to do that on a grand scale".[11]
In July 2019, Marvel Studios held a panel at San Diego Comic-Con where Feige announced the full Phase Four slate.[12] This included five films to be released through 2020 and 2021—Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder—as well as five event series to be released on Disney+ in that time—The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, What If...?, and Hawkeye.[13] He confirmed that there would be connections between the films and series, with the events of both WandaVision and Loki set to tie directly into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.[14][15] Feige stated that these ten projects were the full Phase Four slate at that point, despite Marvel already developing further projects at that time.[16] A month later at D23, Feige announced three more Disney+ series that would be released as part of the Phase Four slate: Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk.[17] In September, Disney and Sony Pictures announced that Marvel Studios and Feige would produce a third Spider-Man film for Sony following Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), set for release during this phase.[18]

After exploring the backstory of Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Kevin Feige expressed interest in exploring it further in a solo film.[30] By January 2018, Jac Schaeffer was hired to write the script,[31] with Cate Shortland hired to direct that July.[19] Ned Benson was rewriting the script the next February.[32] Schaeffer and Benson would receive story credit on the film, with Eric Pearson being credited for the screenplay.[20] Filming began in May 2019 in Norway and the United Kingdom, and ended in October.[33][34][35] Black Widow is scheduled to be released on May 1, 2020.[13]
The Eternals (2020)
After the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[36] the Eternals, an immortal alien race created by the Celestials,[37] reunite after an unexpected tragedy to protect humanity from their evil counterparts, the Deviants.[36]
By April 2018, Marvel had met with multiple screenwriters to craft a film based on the Eternals, with a focus on the character Sersi.[38] A month later, Matthew and Ryan Firpo were hired to write the script for the project.[22] By late-September, Marvel hired Chloé Zhao to direct the film.[21] Filming began in July in London.[37] The main cast, headlined by Angelina Jolie, was announced at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con,[13] with Gemma Chan cast as Sersi a month later.[39] The Eternals is set to be released on November 6, 2020.[13]
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
By December 2018, Marvel was "fast-tracking" development on a Shang-Chi film, which would be their first Asian-led film. Chinese-American writer David Callaham was hired to work on the screenplay,[24] and by March 2019, Marvel hired Destin Daniel Cretton to direct the film.[23] At the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, Simu Liu was revealed to be cast in the title role, with Tony Leung portraying the Mandarin.[13] Filming for Shang-Chi is set to begin in early 2020, in Australia.[40] Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set to be released on February 12, 2021.[13]
The Ten Rings organization has been referenced in Iron Man (2008), the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King (2014), and Ant-Man (2015).[41] An impostor posing as the Mandarin was portrayed by Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3 (2013).[13]
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2021)
By December 2018, Scott Derrickson had completed a deal to return to direct a sequel to Doctor Strange (2016), with Benedict Cumberbatch reprising the title role.[3] The sequel's title was officially announced at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, along with Derrickson's intention to explore more of the "gothic" horror elements from the comic books than the first installment.[13] In October 2019, Jade Bartlett was hired to write the film.[25] In January 2020, Marvel and Derrickson announced that he would no longer direct the film due to creative differences, but would remain an executive producer on the film.[42] Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released on May 7, 2021.[13]
The film will co-star Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch, and will tie directly in with her Disney+ series WandaVision, as well as with the series Loki, making this the first MCU film to be directly tied to any television series.[14][15]
Untitled Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel (2021)
In April 2017, it was announced that a third Spider-Man film is planned.[43] In June of the same year, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland announced that the film would take place during Peter Parker's senior year of high school.[44] In July 2019, Feige stated that the third film would feature "a Peter Parker story that has never been done before on film" due to 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home's mid-credits scene.[45] Both director Jon Watts and Holland have hinted at Kraven the Hunter being the main antagonist of the film.[46] In August 2019, it was reported by Deadline Hollywood that Disney and Sony could not reach a new agreement for Marvel Studios and Feige to have continued involvement in Spider-Man films,[47] with The Hollywood Reporter adding it would see the end of Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU.[48] However, Variety noted negotiations had "hit an impasse" and a new deal could still be reached.[49] Sony announced that the media "mischaracterized" recent discussions about Feige's involvement in the franchise, expressed disappointment over Disney's decision, and confirmed that Feige would no longer be the lead producer on the next live-action Spider-Man film.[47] By September, Sony had hired Far From Home writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers to work on the sequel.[26] Later that month, Sony and Disney jointly announced that Marvel Studios and Feige would produce the third film, with Holland starring.[18] Filming is expected to begin in July 2020, in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Iceland.[50] The film is scheduled for release on July 16, 2021.[18]
Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)
