TV Guide Editors

The ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow. And while Phase 4 of the MCU is nearing its end, there's plenty of projects lined up for Phases 5 and 6. Some movies and TV series will dive deeper into the lives of characters we've already grown to love, while others will explore the powers of superheroes we don't know that well — yet. 

During a star-studded presentation at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, Marvel boss Kevin Feige announced new MCU movies and Disney+ series that will usher the saga into Phase 5 and continue all the way through Phase 6, and explained that Phases 4 through 6 will comprise the MCU's second saga, the Multiverse Saga. More announcements about the Multiverse Saga were made during the Marvel presentation at the D23 Expo in Anaheim in September 2022.
