Phases

Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The phase began in 2016 with the release of Captain America: Civil War and concluded in 2019 with the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home. It includes the crossover films Avengers: Infinity War, released in 2018, and its sequel Avengers: Endgame, released in 2019. Kevin Feige produced every film in the phase, alongside Amy Pascal for Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Stephen Broussard for Ant-Man and the Wasp. The eleven films of the phase grossed over US$13.5 billion at the global box office and received generally positive critical and public response. Upon release, Avengers: Endgame became the highest-grossing film of all time.[a]

Chris Evans and Tom Holland appeared the most in the phase, each starring or making cameo appearances in five of the Phase Three films. Marvel Studios also created three mockumentary short films centered on Thor, while each of the feature films received tie-in comic books. Phase Three, along with Phase One and Phase Two, constitutes "The Infinity Saga". It was followed by Phase Four.

Development

[edit]

On October 28, 2014, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced the full slate of films that the studio planned to release as part of Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): Captain America: Civil War (2016), Doctor Strange (2016), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Black Panther (2018), Captain Marvel (2018), and Inhumans (2018), as well as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 (2018) and Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 (2019). Feige made this announcement at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood,[2] in an event that drew comparisons to Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.[3] Feige explained that the studio had wanted to announce all of the titles at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, but "things were not set" for the slate at that point, so the one-off event was used instead once all of the films could be confirmed. Marvel Studios had never done a solo event such as this before, and Feige had anticipated that it would occur in early August or mid-September before the October date was settled on.[4]

Following the Sony Pictures hack in 2014, it was revealed that Sony and Marvel were having conversations about potentially sharing Spider-Man. Marvel wanted to introduce a new version of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and then continue working with the Avengers in the future, while allowing Sony to keep creative control and use him in their own potential Spider-Man movies and spin-offs, with the potential of possibly using some of Marvel's characters. On February 9, 2015, Marvel made a post on their official website announcing a deal with Sony Pictures to allow Spider-Man to appear in the MCU.[5][6] In June, Tom Holland was revealed to have been cast as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, and was set to appear in Civil War as well as the next Sony Spider-Man film, which would go on to be Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).[7][8] The addition of Homecoming as well as Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) to the Phase Three slate led to date changes for Ragnarok (later in 2017), Black Panther (2018), and Captain Marvel (2019). Inhumans was removed from the release schedule, though it was not outright canceled.[9] In November 2016, Feige said that "Inhumans will happen for sure. I don't know when. I think it's happening on television. And I think as we get into Phase 4 as I've always said, it could happen as a movie."[10] Shortly after, Marvel Television and IMAX Corporation announced the eight-episode television series Inhumans, to be produced with ABC Studios and air on ABC;[11][12] Marvel Studios decided that the characters were better suited to television, rather than trying to fit multiple potential Inhumans franchise films around the studio's existing film slate.[13] The Inhumans series was not intended to be a reworking of the planned film.[11]

In July 2016, Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 was retitled Avengers: Infinity War,[14] while Part 2 was left untitled until the release of the first teaser trailer on December 7, 2018, when it was revealed to be Avengers: Endgame. After the title was revealed, Feige stated that withholding it for so long had backfired on the studio due to the high expectations that fans had set for the reveal. Despite this, Feige stood by the decision due to how the reveal of Infinity War and Endgame before Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) was released had taken away attention from that film.[15] Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame were directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. There was a large amount of collaboration between them and the other Phase Three directors and writers to make sure "everything line[d] up right" for the MCU's "culmination" in Infinity War and Endgame.[16] Peyton Reed, director of Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp, felt the relationship and collaboration between the Phase Three directors was "probably the closest thing that this generation will have to a '30s- or '40s-era studio system where you are all on the lot and you are all working on different things."[17]

[edit]
Anthony and Joe Russo, directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame

The Avengers become fractured into two opposing teams, one led by Steve Rogers and another by Tony Stark, after extensive collateral damage prompts politicians to pass an act regulating superhuman activity with government oversight and accountability for the Avengers while also facing against a new enemy, Helmut Zemo, who seeks revenge upon the Avengers.[39][40]

By January 2014, Anthony and Joe Russo had signed on to return to direct a third Captain America installment, which they confirmed in March 2014, with Chris Evans returning as Captain America, Kevin Feige returning to produce, and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely writing the screenplay.[19][41] In October 2014, the title was officially announced as Captain America: Civil War along with the reveal that Robert Downey Jr. would appear in the film as Tony Stark / Iron Man.[42][43] The film is an adaptation from the "Civil War" storyline in the comics.[44] It is also the first film of Phase Three.[4][45][46] Filming began in April 2015 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios,[47][48] and concluded in August 2015.[49] Captain America: Civil War had its premiere in Hollywood on April 12, 2016,[50] was released internationally beginning April 27,[51] and was released on May 6 in the United States.[52]

The film is set one year after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).[53] Captain America: Civil War introduces Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther to the MCU, who appear in solo films in 2017 and 2018, respectively.[7][54] William Hurt reprises his role as Thaddeus Ross from The Incredible Hulk (2008), with the character now being the U.S. Secretary of State.[55] For the mid-credits scene, in which T'Challa offers Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes asylum in Wakanda, Joe and Anthony Russo received input from Black Panther (2018) director Ryan Coogler on the look and design of Wakanda.[56]

Doctor Strange (2016)

[edit]

After Stephen Strange, the world's top neurosurgeon, is involved in a car accident that ruins his career, he sets out on a journey of healing, where he encounters the Ancient One, who teaches Strange the use of Mystic Arts and to defend the Earth from mystical threats.[57][58]

In June 2010, Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were hired to write the screenplay for a film starring the character Doctor Strange.[59] In January 2013, Feige confirmed that Doctor Strange would be a part of their Phase Three slate of films.[60] In June 2014, Scott Derrickson was hired to direct.[20] In December 2014, Benedict Cumberbatch was cast in the eponymous role, and Jon Spaihts was confirmed to rewrite the script.[61][62] In December 2015, C. Robert Cargill revealed he was a co-writer on the film,[63] and the following April, revealed that Derrickson also wrote the script.[64] Pre-production began in June 2014,[65] with filming beginning in November 2015 in Nepal, before moving to Longcross Studios in the UK later in the month.[66][67] Filming concluded in New York City in April 2016.[68][69] Doctor Strange had its premiere in Hong Kong on October 13, 2016,[70] and was released in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2016,[71] and on November 4 in the United States.[43]

Derrickson stated that the events of Doctor Strange take "roughly" a year, ending "up to date with the rest of the MCU",[72] with Cargill noting it begins in February 2016 and ends later that year.[73] Doctor Strange introduces the Eye of Agamotto, a mystical relic that can manipulate time and is revealed to be an Infinity Stone at the end of the film,[72] specifically the Time Stone.[74] The film's mid-credits scene features a cameo appearance by Chris Hemsworth reprising his MCU role of Thor, meeting with Strange, which was footage from Thor: Ragnarok (2017). The scene was directed by Ragnarok director Taika Waititi.[74]

He noted that Warlock could appear in future Guardians films, and is considered "a pretty important part" of the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[90] The Grandmaster, played by Jeff Goldblum, is seen dancing in the end credits, before his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok.[91]

So we went forward with that Plan A in October, with the Plan B being, if [the deal] were to happen with Sony, how it would all shift. We've been thinking about [the Spider-Man film] as long as we've been thinking about Phase Three."[94] In June 2015, Tom Holland was cast in the role of Spider-Man and Jon Watts was hired to direct the film,[23] and the next month, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were hired to write the screenplay.[95] Additional screenwriters include Watts and Christopher Ford, and Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.[24] In April 2016, the title was revealed to be Spider-Man: Homecoming.[96] Production began in June 2016 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios,[97][98] and concluded in October 2016.[99] Spider-Man: Homecoming premiered on June 28, 2017 in Hollywood,[100] and was released in the United Kingdom on July 5,[101] and the United States on July 7, 2017.[102]

For Phase Three, directors the Russo brothers wanted to continue using real time, as was the case with Phase Two, and so Captain America: Civil War begins a year after Age of Ultron,[53] with Avengers: Infinity War set two years after that.[152] However, producer Brad Winderbaum said the Phase Three films would actually "happen on top of each other" while being less "interlocked" as the Phase One films were,[128] with Black Panther and Spider-Man: Homecoming respectively beginning a week and two months after Civil War;[103][131] Thor: Ragnarok beginning four years after The Dark World and two years after Age of Ultron,[126][127] which is set around the same time as Civil War and Homecoming;[128] Doctor Strange taking place over a whole year and ending in late 2016,[73] "up to date with the rest of the MCU";[72] Ant-Man and the Wasp also set two years after Civil War and shortly before Infinity War;[162] and both Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel Vol. 2 being explicitly set in 2014,[87][88] which Feige believed would create a four-year gap between Vol. 2 and Infinity War, though the other MCU films up to that point do not specify years onscreen.[206] Captain Marvel is set in 1995.[174] Avengers: Endgame begins shortly after Infinity War and ends in 2023 after a five-year time jump.[183] It confirms dates for several other films, including Doctor Strange around 2017,[205] and Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2018 before Infinity War. Spider-Man: Far From Home begins eight months after Endgame in 2024.[200]

When Spider-Man: Homecoming was being developed, director and co-writer Jon Watts was shown a scroll detailing the MCU timeline that was created by co-producer Eric Carroll when he first began working for Marvel Studios. Watts said the scroll included both where the continuity of the films lined-up and did not lineup, and when fully unfurled it extended beyond the length of a long conference table. This scroll was used as the basis to weave the continuity of Homecoming into the previous films, such as The Avengers.[207] This was labeled in the film with a title card stating that eight years pass between the end of The Avengers and the events of Civil War, which was widely criticized as a continuity error that broke the established MCU timeline, in which only four years should have passed.[104][208] Additionally, dialogue in Civil War indicates that eight years pass between the end of Iron Man and the events of that film, despite the established continuity being closer to five or six years.[209][210] Infinity War co-director Joe Russo described the Homecoming eight years time jump as "very incorrect",[211] and the mistake was ignored in Infinity War which specified that its events were taking place only six years after The Avengers.[210] The public response to the Homecoming mistake inspired Marvel Studios to release a new timeline for all three phases.[208]

Phase Three is the highest-grossing phase, more than doubling Phase Two's $5.3 billion gross, with six of its eleven films making over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, including Infinity War and Endgame, which each made more than $2 billion. As a result, Infinity War became the fourth-highest-grossing film ever and Endgame the highest-grossing film ever, unadjusted for inflation. Endgame surpassed Infinity War within eleven days of release and dethroned Avatar (2009) on July 21, 2019,[a] after Avatar held the title for nearly a decade,[321] 2019 was the first year that three MCU films made at least $1 billion each, thanks to Captain Marvel, Endgame, and Spider-Man: Far From Home.[322] By doing so, Far From Home became the first Spider-Man film to make $1 billion at the box office.[323]

Team Thor is a series of direct-to-video mockumentary short films that were released from 2016 to 2018, consisting of Team Thor, Team Thor: Part 2, and Team Darryl, all written and directed by Taika Waititi. The three short films are included as special features in the MCU films' Blu-ray and digital distribution releases. The first two films follow Thor as he moves in with a new roommate, Darryl Jacobson, during the events of Captain America: Civil War,[374][375] while Team Darryl sees Darryl move to Los Angeles and move in with the Grandmaster.[376] The shorts were designed to introduce MCU fans to the irreverent tone of Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok.[377] The three shorts were made available on Disney+ in January 2022,[378] at which point Marvel classified them as Marvel One-Shots.[379][380]

By October 2013, Marvel Television was preparing four drama series and a miniseries to present to video on demand services and cable providers, with Netflix, Amazon, and WGN America expressing interest.[410] Disney announced the next month that it would provide Netflix with live-action series based on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, leading to a crossover miniseries based on the Defenders.[411] In April 2016, Marvel and Netflix ordered The Punisher as a spin-off from Daredevil.[409] Netflix had canceled all of the series by the end of February 2019.[412] All series were no longer available on Netflix starting March 1, 2022, due to Netflix's license for the series ending and Disney regaining the rights.[413] They all began streaming on Disney+ from March 16, 2022.[414]

With the release of Marvel Studios' Disney+ miniseries Echo in January 2024, all of the Netflix series were retroactively added to the MCU Disney+ timeline, and were placed primarily alongside the Phase Two and Phase Three content of the MCU on the timeline.[415][416][417] Marvel Studios' head of streaming Brad Winderbaum acknowledged that Marvel Studios had previously been "a little bit cagey" about what was part of their Sacred Timeline, noting how there had been the corporate divide between what Marvel Studios created and what Marvel Television created.[418] Marvel Studios began looking at the Netflix series as a more integral part to the MCU once the Daredevil reboot series Daredevil: Born Again (2025) underwent a creative overhaul in September 2023.[419][420]
