With Avengers: Infinity War about to kick off the road to the end of "Phase 3", Marvel Studios has been pretty tight lipped on anything that's coming next for "Phase 4". Feige had mentioned the next phase will begin with the Spiderman  sequel & Guardians of the Galaxy 3 , but that's about all. However, last night Collider dropped all kinds of Marvel Studios news, starting with Marvels absence from Hall H this year at Comic Con in San Diego. It looks like this is mainly because they don't have anything new to announce yet. Still not wanting to release the name of Avengers 4, it's looking to me like they don't want to fully commit yet. Probably because there's a lot on the table. Some of which probably being the looming Fox deal. Even though Feige told the Playlist it would take years, & definitely not affect the five already announced films. Which, I'll give him those five. They'll play us out through next year. That's the year this deal is supposed to go through though. At the halfway point of that year those Fox owned characters will most likely be back with Marvel. I'm thinking years is right, but only about two. Until that happens though, Feige did state that Eternals  as well as Nova  are a couple of characters in immediate consideration for Phase 4 in an interview with Comicbook.com. This is an interesting choice for me. Nova  is a given due to his ties to Guardians  & the Nova Corps.. Eternals is the one that surprises me. That's a tricky one for anyone who knows the lore of Celestial experiments on Earth. That's gonna be a hard theater sell, but so was Guardians of the Galaxy, & it's still one of my favorites. I don't know to much about the Eternals except the basics. I'm more familiar with Neil Gaiman's "reboot" than I am with the original Kirby material. It's a lot to take in, I remember that. The last piece of news comes in the form of director Ryan Coogler & Black Panther 2 . In an interview with Collider, Kevin Feige stated that they want Ryan to come back, & they're working on it right now. He's say it will depend on when Ryan wants to, but he's pretty sure he has an idea of when. He reiterates that there will be no official line up announcements until after Avengers 4 . So the awesome direction of Black Panther  will continue in it's sequel. More so however, it looks like even the two films they had mentioned to kick off phase 4 could also be in the air now. After those statements phase 4 is all the sudden total mystery. I can't wait to see where all this goes. I actually like the new secrecy, as opposed to here's everything we're doing for the next two or three years. I also can't help but keep thinking how much easier this will be to throw those Fox properties last minute into, than an already laid out plan. So there you go, a little news, & a lot of speculation. What do y'all think on all these developments? What are y'all anticipating for Phase 4? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
