Black Widow
It's given us three phases and 23 films, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't going anywhere. With Phase 4 on the way, Disney is expanding the universe beyond the movie theater to include its streaming service, Disney Plus.
Here are all the Marvel movies and TV shows that are coming in Phase 4... and beyond. Let's start with Black Widow.
Yes, she fell to her death in Avengers: Endgame, but Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, apparently had quite a life before that. In her first standalone film, she'll be joined by actors Florence Pugh and David Harbour.
UPDATED March 18 to reflect coronavirus-related postponements.
Black Widow is a prequel... duh
The first film in MCU's Phase 4 is set after the events of Captain America: Civil War.
Originally set to hit theaters on May 1, Black Widow was postponed indefinitely because of health concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan will reprise their roles as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, respectively, in this six-episode series coming to Disney Plus. The first season will focus on Wilson taking over as Captain America.
Look who's back for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The series will also feature the return of Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo, the villain from Captain America: Civil War.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is currently on hiatus due to coronavirus concerns.
The Eternals
Starring an ensemble cast that includes Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, Brian Tyree Henry and Salma Hayek, The Eternals is about immortal beings, called Celestials, who shaped the history of Earth and its civilizations.
