In 2019, Marvel Studios unveiled its slate of films throughout Phase 4. It is unclear if the slate unveiled in Hall H was all of Phase 4 or if titles which came later like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Marvels are a part of the same phase or if they will be launching Phase 5. Some clarity on the subject might be presented at San Diego Comic-Con later this month. However, the 2019 presentation featured Thor: Love and Thunder as the last title announced and now the fourth Thor film has been released. With all of the titles from 2019’s Marvel Studios panel at Comic-Con having been released, it is time to rank them with Phase Zero!
Black Widow was the first film released for Phase 4, following Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home (which was billed as an epilogue to Phase 3 and the Infinity Saga) after delays throughout 2020. Widow was followed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings which was followed by Eternals which was followed by Spider-Man: No Way Home, completing the 2021 slate of movies. 2022 has now seen the releases of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder. Sony’s Morbius is not included in the ranking as it is not an MCU film. The rankings can be found in full with the Phase Zero video at the top of this page or on the official Phase Zero YouTube channel!
The Phase 4 rankings video follows a bonus episode of the Phase Zero podcast which takes a deep dive into the latest film, Thor: Love and Thunder.
