<p>This month&#8217;s Avengers: Endgame is said to be the final film in the MCU for its Phase 3. Marvel has plans for many more movies, of course, but don&#8217;t expect the film studio to announce them anytime soon.</p>
<p>Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige <a href="https://au.ign.com/articles/2019/04/08/marvel-studios-wont-announce-their-five-year-future-plans-until-after-avengers-endgame-spider-man-far-from-home-comic-con">told IGN</a> that he can&#8217;t even confirm if Marvel will be at San Diego Comic-Con in July because that, in a way, would be &quot;sort of a post-Endgame spoiler.&quot;</p>
<p>Feige did confirm that Marvel will start to talk about its Phase 4 films &quot;soon after&quot; Spider-Man: Far From Home opens in July. That film hits theatres on July 5, and San Diego Comic-Con takes place later in the month, so it is at least theoretically possible that Marvel will attend.</p>
<p>Marvel has a five-year plan for new MCU films, and the &quot;first few years of which&quot; will be announced relatively soon, after Endgame and Far From Home, Feige said.</p>
<p>Now that <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/disney-completes-deal-to-buy-fox-it-now-owns-the-s/1100-6465703/">Disney owns Fox</a>, it controls franchises like X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four. But will characters from those series join the MCU?</p>
<p>&quot;It&#8217;ll be a while,&quot; Feige <a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/marvel-studios-has-a-5-year-phase-4-plan-that-probably-1833888644?IR=T">told i09</a> specifically about the possibility of X-Men joining the MCU. &quot;It&#8217;s all just beginning and the five-year plan that we&#8217;ve been working on, we were working on before [the Fox deal was finalised]. So really it&#8217;s much more, for us, less about specifics of when and where [the X-Men will appear] right now and more just the comfort factor and how nice it is that they&#8217;re home. That they&#8217;re all back. But it will be a very long time.&quot;</p>
<p>Feige went on to say that the next five years of Marvel films is &quot;not apples to apples&quot; in regards to the past and future output from Marvel. &quot;It is two very distinct things and I hope they&#8217;ll feel very distinct,&quot; he said. &quot;But there is a similar mentality going into it, which is, &#8216;How can we continue to tell stories with some of the characters that audiences already know and love in a unique way, in a different way, in surprising way, of which we have a lot of plans and ideas and work already going into it?&#8217; [Then] &#8216;How can we introduce new characters that even hardcore fans, comic fans, have barely known or barely heard of.&#8217; That&#8217;s really exciting too.&quot;</p>
<p>One of the new Phase 4 Marvel movies could be Shang-Chi, which is Marvel&#8217;s first superhero film with an Asian lead. It&#8217;s reportedly the movie that Marvel is <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mysterious-marvel-movie-to-film-in-australia-might/1100-6466089/">filming in Sydney, Australia</a>.</p>
