It is hard to believe that we are already through MCU Phase 4 with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever this month. The only Phase 4 project left right now is Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special which is officially releasing today itself. So, yes, it is basically over and has been quite an underwhelming affair which was filled with mediocre or bad productions. The only memorable productions from Phase 4, in fact, were Loki, Shang-chi, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The two specials MCU came out with this year were good as well namely Werewolf by Night and GOTG Holiday Special but rest of the Phase was filled with mediocrity. All us fans can do now is hope that MCU steps up its game with Phase 5 and Phase 6, but from the looks of it they both seem overstuffed and frankly very hard to follow. READ ON.
MCU PHASE 5 Movies and TV Shows
MCU Phase 5 will kick off with Ant-Man 3 next year and including that, it will feature a total of 20 productions within the span of 2 years. If you ask me, that is too much and hard for anyone to follow up. I miss the times when we used to wait for 3 months and were rewarded with great films rather than constant mediocre content. Anyways, following are all the MCU Phase 5 production along with their release slates. This information comes from a mod post on r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers. The slates are subject to change and even if they are official, we have seen slates move around a lot in past few years. Anyways here goes.
