San Diego: Comic-Con 2019 was a while ago and one of the biggest talking points was Marvel's Phase Four plan. Newbies who are jumping on the Avengers hype train post "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) might be confused as to what all this talk about phases means. Ever since the first Iron Man film in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been split up into different segments known as phases. Usually, these phases conclude with an Avengers film wrapping everything in a nice neat bow. There are exceptions, however, like the recently released "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019) which came right off the heels of Endgame. For the longest time, fans were left speculating what could possibly come next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Personally, as someone who has been a part of this journey since the very beginning, I would've preferred that it all ended with Endgame. An "end to an era" as some would call it. But we live in a new age where Hollywood is milking every dime possible with this pop culture trend. The 2020s are going to be packed with more superhero content and we all have to go along with the ride. I think everyone was more surprised at how soon we found out what's next for the MCU.

For years, Marvel Studios has shied away from attending Hall H, the infamous arena where new movie announcements and trailers are showcased for the world to see. Ever since Disney started doing their own press conference, known as D23, Marvel has saved their announcements for that exclusive event. But this year, since DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. decided not to promote their upcoming films, Marvel saw an opportunity to pounce and claim the slot. For two hours on a Saturday night, we fans anxiously kept refreshing our twitter feeds to see what our lord and savior Kevin Feige (President of Marvel Studios) had in store for us. For phase four, it seems Marvel Studios is going to incorporate the new Disney+ Streaming service launching in November. These live-action shows will have the A-list actors of the MCU in their own mini-series going on adventures in a post endgame world. On top of that, there will still be new films releasing in theaters for the general audience. All this talk may sound confusing, so I am going to break it down for all of you.
