Summary

TheMarvel Cinematic Universewould have unfold very differently if it adhered toDisney ’s new release plan for the MCU , with Phase 4 in particular have some very dissimilar installment . The MCU timelinehas been develop through the Multiverse Saga to admit Modern reference from the comics who are less familiar to wide audiences . If Disney ’s decision to retard down releases and focus more on established characters and franchises had occur afterAvengers : Endgame , much of theMCUPhase 4 would have looked very different .

Disney ’s Bob Iger has announced that Marvel is going to start releasing few title , focus more on well - known character with a strong brand and steering away from introduce young characters into the franchise . This will have drastic consequences forthe MCU ’s time to come , greatly form the entire dealership and its steering . Interestingly , if this change had occurred earlier , Phase 4 would have feature a very different slate of movies and boob tube serial .

Marvel movies have had their ups and Down over the decades , but a prime few continuation have immensely improve on the movies that they follow .

10Captain America 4

Instead Of Falcon & The Winter Soldier

Cast

alternatively ofFalcon & the Winter Solder , the MCU would probably have madeCaptain America 4sooner . The movie could have followedChris Evans ' Captain America afterAvengers : Endgameas he journeyed through meter to put back the Infinity Stones and build up with Thor ’s hammer , Mjolnir . This would have made a compelling narrative , anda more turgid determination to Captain America ’s character electric arc . On the other bridge player , with Cap ’s perfect finish inEndgame , the franchise could have also jumped flat toCaptain America : Brave New Worldand depicted Sam Wilson assuming the Captain America title much sooner .

Disney provided a recent release update occupy the MCU , with the franchise ’s fresh mandate worsening a 16 - class - long character insult .

9Spider-Man: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Far From Home Would Still Exist

As Spider - Man is one of Marvel ’s most famous and beloved character with a Brobdingnagian cinematic legacy , Spider - Man : Far From Homeis one entrant in Phase 4 that would probably have remained the same . WithMysterio being a long - awaited and beloved Spider - Man villain , include him as a unexampled part would still fulfill the new Disney release plans . However , it would have been less likely that Iron Man would have been kill off so definitely , and as such , Far From Homewouldn’t deal with his death so extensively . However , it could still have introducedSecret Invasion .

8Secret Invasion

Nick Fury Is A Strong Marvel Brand

Secret Invasionwould likely remain on the MCU ’s Phase 4 ticket , as Fury is a big name with general audiences . However , it ’s less potential that the series would have introduced so many young and appurtenant character , focus less on the complex political Skrull plot andcenter Jackson ’s performance in an action - throng narration . It ’s also potential thatSecret Invasioncould have been a picture show , as was originally planned , serving as anAvengerssequel . It would have brought the cardinal Avengers team into the narrative and not just Rhodey ’s War Machine .

Samuel L. Jackson ’s Nick Fury has been a basic of the MCU since its start with Iron Man . Here ’s a breakdown of Nick Fury ’s complete MCU backstory .

7Thor 4

Instead Of Thor: Love And Thunder

Thor 4would have been a very unlike motion-picture show thanThor : Love and Thunder . First , it would have asterisk Tom Hiddletson ’s Loki in some form , continue one of the most far-famed aspects of the preceding moving picture . It would also have less of a preoccupation with introducing Thor ’s younger opposite number and cater a fitting word of farewell . Instead , Thor 4could haverepeated its predecessors ' winner and introduced a fundamental aspect of the upcoming franchise , prove a vital central element to the new overarching tale . This could still have includedJane Foster ’s turn as the Mighty Thor , tap a famed Marvel Comics tale .

6Captain Marvel 2

Instead Of The Marvels

Captain Marvel ’s loge office successand obvious connection to the Marvel brand make Carol Danvers a strong enough brand to admit a sequel in Phase 4 . However , it ’s less probable to have included Maria Rambeau or Kamala Khan in a manner that arrange up their own respective story and solo projection . Instead , Captain Marvel 2could havefinished exploring the consequences of Captain Marvel ’s rebellion against the Kree , explore the famed Marvel Comics alien to a more fitting degree . The tale could have even establish an 10 - Men connection , use Carol Danvers ' association with Rogue to establish a mutant story .

5Hulk Not She-Hulk

Instead Of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law

She - heavyweight : Attorney at Lawis a prime example of an installation that would n’t have been made in Phase 4 under Disney ’s Modern sack plans . Rather , the MCU would have discharge aHulkmovie or miniseries - whichcould have adequately explained the existence of his son , Skaar . A solo Hulk pleasure trip has been a conspicuous absence in the MCU owing to complicated character rights with Universal Pictures . Nevertheless , aHulkmovie could portray Hulk ’s adventures betweenAvengers : Age of UltronandThor : Ragnarok , setting up the rumored World War Hulk narrative for the MCU ’s future .

4Hawkeye

The Hawkeye Miniseries Would Be Very Different

Hawkeye ’s world-wide premise of the eponymic Avengers face the consequences of the Blip and his brutal deeds as Ronin would still constitute aHawkeyein the MCU ’s alternate Phase 4 . However , one major difference would have been the prominence of Echo and Kate Bishop , who were both introduced in the series to establish their own narratives and fledgeling into the dealership . As character moderately unknown to the extensive public , Hawkeyewould have instead focus chiefly on the hoagie , perhaps even still reintroducing Wilson Fisk as the Kingpin and positioning him as the basal opponent inAvengers 5 .

3Doctor Strange 3

A Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness Sequel Would Be Likely

After the roaring success ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , it ’s highly potential thatDoctor Strange 3would have quickly followed , in particular given the movie ’s highly eventful story to the unfolding Multiverse Saga . Doctor Strange 3would have beenthe primary installment to continue the multiverse narrative , finishing Doctor Strange ’s unresolved narratives from the first movies - such as Dormmamu seeking his retaliation and Baron Mordo ’s pledge to rid the humanity of wizard . The motion-picture show could have also make Doctor Strange as a fully - flight appendage of the Avengers in advance ofAvengers 5 .

Doctor Strange is undoubtedly one of the most brawny heroes on Earth , but some of his feats suffer above the rest as peculiarly impressive .

2Loki

Loki Would Have Been One Of The Few Disney+ Series

As a wildly successful persona , it ’s probable that Loki would have receive his solo serial on Disney+ . On the other hand , other show , such asMs . Marvel , Moon Knight , andWandaVisionwould have been less likely . Shows likeHawkeyeandSecret Invasionwere attempts to shake up the MCU television shows and explore new territory and characters and would have thus been markedly dissimilar , leaving onlyLokias an established character with a clearly defined tale trajectory . This could also maintainLoki ’s portrayal of the multiverse and substitute timelines , establishing the overarching story more steadfastly .

1Avengers 5

Every Phase Should End With An Avengers Movie

Until the Multiverse Saga and the introduction of newfangled characters into the MCU , each phase ended with anAvengersmovie . It ’s probable that an alternative Phase 4 would have ended with another team - up , bringing together the established and hold up eccentric from the Phase and seeding the overarching narration for the saga ’s conclusion . This could have even constituted theSecret Invasionmovie orAvengers : The Kang Dynastywith a more aerodynamic Multiverse Saga . If theMCUwere operating under Disney ’s raw dismission policy , the Multiverse Saga would have been very dissimilar , including more motion-picture show with all of Marvel ’s most famous characters .

All of the MCU ’s movies and telecasting shows can be streamed on Disney+
