Phases

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]

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]

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]

The film is set two-to-three months after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy,[86][87] in 2014.[88] One of the film's post-credit sequences hints at the introduction of Adam Warlock,[89] after Gunn originally intended for Warlock to make a full appearance in Vol. 2. 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]

Peter Parker tries to balance being the hero Spider-Man with his high school life under guidance of Tony Stark as he deals with the threat of the Vulture.[92][93]

On February 9, 2015, Sony Pictures and Marvel announced that Sony would be releasing a Spider-Man film co-produced by Marvel Studios president Feige and Amy Pascal, with Sony Pictures continuing to own, finance, distribute, and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.[5] In April 2015, Feige confirmed the character would be Peter Parker and added that Marvel had been working to add Spider-Man to the MCU since at least October 2014, when they announced their full slate of Phase Three films, saying, "Marvel doesn't announce anything officially until it's set in stone. 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]

In Parker's high school, one of his classes has a lesson about the Sokovia Accords,[113] and portraits of Bruce Banner, Howard Stark, and Abraham Erskine are seen within the school.[114]

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,[322] 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.[323] By doing so, Far From Home became the first Spider-Man film to make $1 billion at the box office.[324]

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 Films editSee also List of

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 Recurring cast and characters editFurther
