A new leak seems to reveal every movie Marvel will release in what they call Phase Four over the coming decade.
The news comes from a cryptic Twitter user called “Roger Wardell” who has been recognized by Marvel fans as the most trusted source of leaks since he accurately predicted crucial Avengers: Endgame plot points last December.
Besides just listing the films Marvel will allegedly release as part of its fourth phase, Wardell also makes some big claims about the series as a whole.
He says that, going forward, the series will present “mini-arcs” as opposed to a decade-spanning saga and that there will be a clear divided between the characters based on Earth and those based on other planets.
If we’re going to trust Wardell, the recurring villain for the former will be Norman Osborn, who is expected to be introduced in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Right, let’s talk movies then. According to Wardell, Marvel is developing Black Widow, The Eternals, Black Panther 2, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange 2, Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. He adds that there are plans to make new Thor, Ant-Man and Captain Marvel sequels and suggests there could even be New Avengers, Young Avengers and Dark Avengers films.
Most interesting will be the appearance of Nova. He is a member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps and, in the comics, has had dealings with the Guardians, Captain Marvel and Thor.
The leak also claims that Black Widow will star Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, who will be introduced as the new version of Scarlett Johansson’s character while Richard Madden will take the lead role of Ikaris in Chloe Zhao’s The Eternals.
According to Wardell, Michael B Jordan will somehow return in Black Panther 2.
Anyway, we have no way of knowing any of this for certain until San Diego Comic Con where Marvel president Kevin Feige will surely unveil the studio’s slate of films that’ll be released well into the 2020s.
