We have the Marvel Phase Four trailer and dates for MCU films for the next three years. All I can say is that I'm still not tired of them.

Cool. I thought the third Guardians movie would be released sooner, though.

It's not like I'm complaining or anything - I don't really follow these release schedules very closely, I'm just going by some of the buzz I've been seeing online and got it into my head that they'd already launched production/shooting on that one. |

Well there was also Gunn's availability as he had to finish Suicide Squad and other commitments before starting any work on GOTG3 including the screenplay. -M |

Yeah, I'm still completely a fanboy for this stuff. Can't wait until these start hitting theaters.

Interesting that there's no indication they are planning a big, Avengers-style team up film in the next few years. I think this makes a lot of sense if this is an intentional decision. The MCU is getting bigger, so they need to create the space to introducing new characters and concepts. Having smaller team-ups (like the next Doctor Strange film, or Disney+ shows like FatWS) maintains the shared universe connectivity without having to re-hash their past formulas. I'm sure that we'll eventually get another Avengers movie, but it may be after a longer period than we had in the first three phases of the MCU.
Here's a crazy thought -- if I had the time stone and could go back change to things, I think Marvel should have swapped their plans for Iron Fist and Shang-Chi. Back when the Netflix shows were still a thing, they should have introduced Shang-Chi in place of Danny Rand. I think Shang-Chi would have worked much better in the less fantastical world of Netflix MCU, and he would have integrated very easily into a bigger story about battling the Hand. With minor modifications, they could have kept his original concept and adapted him to be the rebellious son of the Chinese faction of the Hand. Meanwhile, the Iron Fist mythology would have worked much better in the theatrical end of the MCU where we have alternate dimensions and "magic" established thanks to Doctor Strange and Thor. The first Doctor Strange movie would have been the perfect place to have a mid-credits scene introducing Kun Lun.

Or, alternatively, you could just stop them from casting Finn Jones as IF, lessen the focus on the Meachum siblings, and get to the Misty/Colleen team-up faster. IF made sense in that world due to the Luke Cage connection from the comics, but they handled that show worse than could have been imagined. With a few tweaks, it would have been salvageable. |
