Now that the Tesseract was introduced in the Thor post-credits scene and Thanos cameoed at the end of The Avengers, the Marvel Cinematic Universe ready for phase 4!!!
Flip and find out where the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 is possibly heading…
CelebNMovies247.com has been paying attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe since we are big fans of the superhero films and how they all inner connect.
Which leads us to the question everyone is asking. Where is the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 headed?
It appears that the MCU has been building up to its own version of the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, namely with the Mad Titan slowly obtaining the six Infinity Stones. Once the stories culminate in 2018 with Avengers: Infinity War, elements of the storyline will presumably be touched on in Avengers 4.
CinemaBlend has dropped some interesting insight that CelebNMovies247.com cannot deny, since the door is wide open for a new storyline or two to be used across multiple movies.
Here are some classic storylines/events from the Marvel comics that would fit well on the big screen. One major battle that would be amazing for the MCU is Galactus, the world eater. The only problem is Marvel will have to negotiate some kind of deal can be worked out with 20th Century Fox over the Fantastic Four rights. So, as they say, we will stick a pin in it!
Here are the options that Marvel Cinematic Universe can head toward:
Secret Wars
There are three primary Marvel events to use the Secret Wars name: the one from 1984-1985, the sequel that followed soon after, and the one from 2015 which changed the Marvel universe as we know it, literally! That 2015 event is the one we specifically have our eye on for cinematic adaptation. Think about it, after Thanos has put the entire universe at risk, how do you raise the stakes from there? Introduce other alternate universes, a concept which has already been established in Doctor Strange. We don’t expect a 100% faithful adaptation of the Secret Wars miniseries (in fact, that’s impossible since Marvel can’t use Doctor Doom), but it would be interesting to see the main MCU suddenly find itself opened to other realities that are filled with alternate versions of characters we know and love. That said, should this storyline last across one Phase or several, having Battleworld be the endgame would make for a great conclusion.
The Korvac Saga
In the comics, Michael Korvac was a computer technician from an alternate Earth who traveled to “our” universe and became ridiculously powerful thanks to a chance encounter with Galactus. Upon him being imbued with the Power Cosmic, the Avengers and the original Guardians of the Galaxy had to team up to stop the villain. Most of them actually died in the process, and it was only due to Korvac actually committing suicide and bringing the fallen heroes back to life before he died that life continued as normal afterwards. While Korvac coming from another Earth might not work for the MCU, using a normal human who is given extraordinary powers from an alien source works, with him (or her) becoming so mighty and god-like that the Avengers and Guardians once again have to join forces to defeat him. This is one of those storylines that could only work for one movie, maybe two max, but it’s still ripe to bring into live action.
Siege
We’ve already seen Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin in 2002’s Spider-Man, and while some may be eager to see a new version of him in one of the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequels, it would be more captivating if he started out as the suit-wearing, corporate mogul, politically scheming evildoer we see in the Dark Reign and Siege events. However, instead of the Skrulls’ invasion of Earth being the cause of his rise to power, show Norman slowly accumulating resources and support in a few post-credits scenes. Then in an Avengers flick (or something of equal importance), he can launch his attack on the MCU heroes, whether it’s with a Dark Avengers team, controlling Sentry or striking some kind of deal with Loki to destroy Asgard. By the end, Norman’s defeat would drive him to insanity, paving the way for him to become Green Goblin in a later Spider-Man movie. Yes, it’s a backwards approach to his super villain guise, but narratively speaking, it could make sense.
