DARK REIGNThe theme of Phase 4 will be "menace". Cap, Iron Man, and Black Widow are gone. Hulk's incapacitated and Thor's in space. The Avengers are gone and the guy who was going to replace Iron Man (Far From Home Spoilers):
Is now considered a murderer and his identity is public
The public will become increasingly nervous of the heroes that remain and start getting downright terrified of them. This creates the perfect environment to bring in the X-Men and also brings in the Thunderbolts as "the peoples' champions" or something.
Secret Invasion for Phase 4 leading into Phase 5 Dark Reign. Spiderman 3 will happen in 22 introducing Osborn and Spidey 4 will be the Captain America Civil War introducing the Dark Avengers. Otherwise everything else is gonna be surrounding the Skrull Invasion, and towards the end we will have one Fantastic Four movie to introduce Doom.
I can't see a big effects heavy film like doctor strange 2 or eternal coming out in November next year. They haven't started filming either (have they) and 16 months doesn't seem like enough time.
Then again they needed another big Marvel-ass film (sorry, that ain't you black widow) soon so people realise endgame wasn't the actual end.
I don't think it's an invasion, I think something else is going on.Secret Invasion for Phase 4 leading into Phase 5 Dark Reign.

So Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War, Endgame, Far From Home and Spidey 3? That's all he's in for? I hope they renew his contract then because he NEEDS to be in way more.
That is what the comics use the Skrull for, so I would think if they do Dark Reign they would also do the event that leads to that one. But who knows really.I don't think it's an invasion, I think something else is going on.

Goliath and Ghost from AM&tW, Zemo from CA:CW and Falcon/WS show, Osborn from Spiderman 3, Ross from misc could fill out Thunderbolts.

So how does spider-man fit into marvel movies (since he had only appeared in team
Up movies)
A little off-topic here. Since they seem to be going the menace route with the next Spider-Man movie with JJJ trying to turn everyone against him and revealing his identity, it would be cool to adapt a version of The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man in the next movie... and have that kid be Miles Morales. That would be a cool way to bring that character into the universe and start building that relationship where eventually Peter can be to Miles what Tony Stark was to him.
Here's what I'm thinking.
I can't decide what to put in that May 7th 2021 slot. I'm assuming Spidey 3 isn't on this schedule.
- May 1, 2020 ------------- Black Widow
- November 6, 2020 ----- Eternals
- February 12, 2021 ----- Shang-Chi
- May 7, 2021 -------------
- November 5, 2021 ----- Doctor Strange 2
- February 18, 2022 ----- Black Panther 2
- May 6, 2022 ------------- Captain Marvel 2
- July 29, 2022 ------------ Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3
Suicide Squad 2 is releasing around that time so probably not.Guardians 3 is absolutely the May 2021 slot. No question whatsoever.
Marvel is directly behind the creative control of those movies, unlike everything else Sony produced.

It's possible, they've added and shifted dates before. But with the Disney+ shows now, it's possible even they don't want to over-extend themselves.Are these the only dates? What I mean is, is it possible that they'll add more dates and move to 4 MCU films each year?

I wonder if the BW movie will start laying the groundwork for whatever unifying threat we have in Phase 4, or not.

Part of me wants them to bring a mutant into one of the future Spider-man flicks.
Spidey has always been the go-to team up character, and if they want to make him the MCU cornerstone going forward it would be a great way to tease that development in the world.
I would legit lose my shit in the theater if they pulled off amazing friends.
My personal pick would be actually be Jubilee! Hah.
