A Phase 4 Clue

Marvel Studios love to lay the foundations for future plots in their movies, although doing so ten movies prior to them happening is asking a lot (bearing in mind that there are indeed ten movies in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

That being said, wouldn’t it be cool to kick Phase 3 of with a massive bang by hinting towards a major plot in Phase 4? Of course it would!

Perhaps there will be a Secret Wars movie in Phase 4, in which case seeing the Beyonder or the Beyonders (depending on whether it was based on the 1984 or 2015 version of the story) in a mid/post-credit scene plotting the creation of Battleworld would be awesome (watching the events of Civil War might make them think they enjoy fighting each other!).

Maybe there will be a Dark Reign/Siege movie in Phase 4, in which case seeing Norman Osborn forming the Cabal or looking to take over as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. could be a good idea.

Or maybe we’ll see a major villainous team in Phase 4 – the Masters of Evil, perhaps – in which case seeing a group of new and existing MCU villains coming together would be a good idea.

Regardless, it would show brilliant planning by Marvel Studios if Phase 4’s major plot was hinted at – and it would really make fans excited for the long-term future of the franchise.
