After keeping their Phase 4 plans under wraps in recent years, Marvel Studios took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con to finally announce what fans can expect in the upcoming years.
Following the conclusion of Phase 3 with Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, the Marvel Cinematic Universe finds itself at something of a new beginning as it moves on from elder statesmen such as Iron Man and Captain America.
Marvel Studios kicked off the panel at 8:15 p.m. EST and began with a sizzle reel montage of clips from “The Infinity Saga”, which consumed the first decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, before diving into Phase 4.
