Phase Three

It’s Phase Three up next – starting next year with Captain America: Civil War – and it will culminate in the event that the whole franchise has been leading to to date.

The likes of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy will come together to face Thanos as the Mad Titan finally gets his hands on the completed Infinity Gauntlet – which has been hinted at since the end of Phase One.

Several new heroes will be introduced as well, potentially signalling the imminent departures of the original group – Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and the Inhumans will all debut in Phase Three.

The concepts of things like magic, real cosmic power and alternate dimensions will also be explored in Phase Three – all of which will open the door for potentially awesome inclusions in the franchise in Phase Four and beyond.
