15 Ways The MCU’s Phase Four is About Legacy

All of the MCU phases have shared common themes — every phase had rules that applied to it that tie everything in it together, and it’s not always subtle. We’re going to look at all of those rules and how they came out in the films, even for films that aren’t out yet.

With this you could maybe even predict ways the new films will be made, which means we can accurately predict the new Fantastic Four movie will be about the baby Fantastic kids, because everything is all about legacy this time around. Well, it’s either legacy or doubles, and we’re not sure even Kevin Feige knows which. The first phase coming after the Endgame deals with what comes after the Avengers and Tony Stark are gone. What impact did that have on the world and everyone in it. From Loki’s struggle with predestination and fate to Spider-Man meeting his on-screen predecessors, the theme of this season in the MCU is Legacy.
