Marvel Producer Reveals the Core Themes of Phase Four

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, the Marvel Cinematic Universe entered uncharted territory.

For years, the franchise has been steadily building toward a showdown with Thanos, connecting everything to the ongoing Infinity Saga.

Now, in Phase Four of the MCU, things are a bit different. They feel less connected than the lead-up to Infinity War and Endgame. 

But that was always going to be the case, given that the franchise was heading into a new era. But there has always been a plan in place.

"Phase Four is all a reaction – and I don't mean on our part as filmmakers, I mean the characters," Palmer explained.

There isn't a character dealing with grief quite like Wanda Maximoff, who has been a central figure in Phase Four so far.
