Marvel Teases PHASE 6, Including Two New AVENGERS Movies

Kevin Feige loves to keep fans waiting, and he did just that at SDCC. After revealing the end of Phase 5 and the entire slate of Phase 5, he then teased Phase 6. Beginning on November 8, 2024, the chapter will be kicked off by the long-awaited Fantastic Four movie. He also revealed that there would be two new Avengers movies in that phase: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty on May 2, 2025, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars. We also learned that the current phase we’re existing in—which will end with Secret Wars—is called the Multiverse Saga. 

What is Secret Wars?

In 1984, Secret Wars was the first epic Marvel crossover event comic, pitting Marvel’s most popular heroes against their worst villains. The 12-part series had the all-powerful entity called the Beyonder place these characters on a so-called “Battleworld,” where their conflict would decide the fate of humanity. The original series was mostly a gimmick to sell toys. But writer Jonathan Hickman took the bones of that concept and ran with it for a new version, back in 2015. 

In this critically acclaimed reboot, Battleworld was composed of multiple realities from across the Multiverse, ruled by Doctor Doom. Versions of virtually every character Marvel fans have ever loved appeared on Battleworld, doing battle with each other. And it looks like we might see this play out on the big screen, with something that might blow fans’ minds. Secret Wars may have the possibility of making the Infinity Saga like just a warm-up act. 

What is The Kang Dynasty?

Marvel Studios likes to take titles from well-known comics but apply them to all-new stories. Most famously, they did this with Avengers: Age of Ultron. The movie had a totally different story than the comic of the same name, aside from the basic “Avengers vs. Ultron” of it all. We may see the same thing with The Kang Dynasty. 

In the comics, “The Kang Dynasty” was a 16-part story by Kurt Busiek, who wrote one of the best Avengers runs of all time. The basic plot of the 2001-2002 story had Kang in the present announce his intentions to the UN to take over the world, all in order to prevent all negative futures from happening. We could see something like this taking place in the MCU, which would cause an all-new team of Avengers to stop Kang. 

This is a developing story we’ll update soon.
