Post Endgame MCU Predictions
So I figured I'd start a thread where we could post predictions as to what will happen in the MCU now that Endgame is in the theaters. Please maintain spoiler tags just to be safe. If your prediction has nothing to do with Endgame then don't worry about it.
I really wonder if the MCU will introduce Galactus or at least his Herald in one of the cosmic Marvel movies either the sequel to Captain Marvel or Guardians 3. I could really see a post credit scene where you zoom in on a planet that welcomes with open arms somebody that is revealed to be Silver Surfer. |
SO many possibilities. I'm really excited. As much as I love what they've done so far, especially "Phase 3", I think it feels liberating to know that we are done with the Infinity Stones, as well as in a place where Marvel Studio's is feeling 100% confident in their decisions.
I want to see them play with tone even more. I want to see things become goofier in places, and more mature in others. There are so many characters now, that I welcome the idea of guest-characters popping up in "solo films". I hope they are able to expand on Spider-Man, X-Men, and all the other characters they just received back, without too long of a wait. Most of all, I want to feel a sense of legacy. While I'm glad to move on from the movies focusing on the original six, I'd like to see reverence for them, as well as traces and ripples of their actions. New versions of some of our favorite characters, and mantles being passed down, is something that really excites me. A bit of new mixed with a bit of old for the new Avengers team. |
It does seem like we won't be seeing movies for ANY of the Big 6 going forward.
Spoiler:
I predict the time travel logic plot holes (I think that's safe to no-spoiler) don't get addressed in any movies. It's all just handwaved. Seems like the NEW Big 6 will be... Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and a couple of new crew... Spoiler:

Additional thought: I'm curious how the MCU will fare in the period between introducing the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and closing out Phase 3 with Endgame.
So many fan-favorite characters are being shunted to TV (possibly to explore their stories, but also I suspect because the powers that be aren't interested in giving them movies and don't believe they'd be a big enough box-office draw)... Scarlet Witch, Vision, Bucky, Falcon, Hawkeye... I think franchises for successful characters like Black Panther and Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange and Spider-Man will do well, but is this the point where viewer fatigue FINALLY sets in? Do we really care about Eternals and Shang-Chi? Can the trailers and casting make us care? Or are most viewers just waiting to hear who will be cast for Cyclops, Rogue, Jean Gray, Kitty Pryde, Storm, and Wolverine in five years? Also, eventually, Sony is gonna derail the MCU Spidey. It's inevitable. :tgrin: |
Aside from my initial desires, I have a slight curveball...
If the Sony-Marvel deal continues, I think there is potential for Spider-Man's adventures to continue in a Disney+ show. With the budget some of these shows will be getting, it has become quite exciting to imagine a serialized, live-action Spider-Man television show. Sony may even like the idea of having the theater-space to themselves when it comes to Spider-Man. |

END OF PHASE 3:
* Spider-Man: Far From Home: I don't expect anything special at all from this, particularly any Fantastic Four/X-Men stuff. Mostly because it's Sony and Spider-Man is a leased thing and if there's any surprise "stingers," it would most likely only be of benefit to the Spider-Verse (the upcoming "Morbius" movie, "Venom 2," etc.). PHASE 4: Spoiler:
Those are the movies we know are coming. Phase 3 has 11 movies, so that still leaves about 3 movies we don't know about for Phase 4. What could they be? Spoiler:
Then, Phase 5, we'll start to get the BIG movies. "The Uncanny X-Men," "The Fantastic Four," "Silver Surfer," "Wolverine," etc.. |
If anything, Far From Home’s stinger will tease future MCU projects. It won’t be a Sony Spider-Man film.
It is interesting to consider whether it could be for a “Fox property”, but I doubt it because I think they have other priorities that were already in place. Same reason we didn’t see a teaser for those properties in Endgame. |

The Eternals, though, I think your theory could definitely happen. The Galactus tease you and I were expecting WILL eventually happen. At the moment, my expectation is Kang the Conqueror for Avengers 5, due to Avengers 4 time-travel fallout or it attracted his attention or something. And then Galactus or Avengers vs X-Men for Avengers 6. Unless Avengers vs X-Men ends up not ACTUALLY an Avengers movie, like Captain America: Civil War was an Avengers movie in all but name. |

We don’t think Marvel wants Sony getting tangled up in their universe, right? I do think Sony wants that but I do not think it was part of the contract. Quote:

Since we can’t peek at that contract, I guess we will just have to wait and see though. I’m pretty sure the context is out there if you find the right interviews though. |

The truth is, they're both right. Marvel CAN integrate stuff they create in their Sony Spider-verse (i.e., Venom)... they just don't want to, yet. They may never. In the other direction, as I said, pretty sure Sony CAN use the Spider-Man-based characters (i.e., ones derived from Spider-Man comics that Sony would own the rights to... obviously Sony can't put Rocket Raccoon in a solo Sony movie, but they can certainly use Vulture) that appear in Marvel Studios movies in Sony-based movies. It just hasn't really come up yet. And it makes sense. Sony just making profits off the 1 Spider-Man movie that gets put out every 2 years through Marvel Studios isn't really a good enough deal to make their partnership with Marvel Studios justifiable, fiscally. It had to be, Sony: "You can use Spider-Man and Spider-Man characters if you run it by us first during our contract... but meanwhile, we can pump out whatever side Spider-Man character-related movie on our side we want."

My gut is Phase 4 is going to feel like Phase 1 again; less grandiose. Not establishing the pending big EVENTS, just establishing some characters. And finishing off a couple of series, like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. I say, Marvel cracks open the Fox box by first having a villain that can be done without the X-Men or Fantastic Four. Galactus and Silver Surfer don't HAVE to have the Fantastic Four, right? Anyway, that's my thinking. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. |
We may have ALREADY seen a tease for the next phase, right under our collective noses. I'll give you all a hint- DC's version did "swimmingly", at least for a week or so. Yes, it's who you think it is. Remember the beginning of Endgame, when
Spoiler:
If my theory is right, we are already being shown hints of who/what is to come. One of them is probably really ticked that half his kingdom got obliterated by meddling outsiders.... |

I don't like to predict things. I'll just say that the only thing I actually care about from Marvel is what they eventually do with the X-Men.
The series that's about to end was always a case of, "Decent-To-Great Action Movies, but terrible 'X-Men Movies'." They don't represent the characters or the universe properly at all. Everyone is "In Name Only", and they're terrified of costumes. I feel like the two "X-Men Legends" video games do a much better job of helping neophytes like myself understand the X-Men universe than any of the movies have. And, unlike the movies, they're not all mostly "Wolverine and These Other Guys". The Marvel films sometimes have gone way, WAY off-base with how certain characters were portrayed versus how they're "supposed to be", but in other places they've skewed extremely faithful. I am curious to see their take on the X-Men material. We've seen a lot of things from Marvel and other studios ever since the first Spider-Man film, but we still haven't seen a "proper" X-Men movie, really. And although I barely care, I will say that I feel it's deserved, and would definitely be something to see. I don't much care for Marvel movies, but a "proper" X-Men film would be something I would pay to see, just because it still hasn't been done. I want costumes, I want to see the characters and their motivations represented properly. I want everyone to be on the correct side - no "Mystique gets to be the Star and a Big Hero because Hunger Games was hot for 5 minutes". I'd like to see more than just Magneto as a villain. I can't predict anything, but I know what I would like to eventually see. Unfortunately it sounds like it's a long way off. |

Also, I think they had a line about “a guy who can crawl on walls” or something similar, before he appeared. |
