It might seem far off, but the MCU is expanding faster than ever, and will soon reach the end of its Phase III. It will all culminate with the second Infinity War movie, which is due in less than three years. Can you imagine that? Would you have guessed back in 2008, when the first Iron Man was released, that Kevin Feige would build an empire from scratch, based on second tier comic book characters?

I’m guessing you wouldn't have believed it.

But the end of Phase III will be special in another way, as opposed to the previous MCU phases, since it will also be the culmination of all of the movies released by Marvel. Thanos will finally reveal his true power, after being teased for so many movies. Some heroes will fall, while others will rise. But the universe will continue; a couple of years ago, Feige said that he and his team have planned ahead until 2028.

So what can we expect beyond Phase III? What will happen in Phase IV and afterwards? Here are the things I expect to happen in the MCU after 2019.
