The cat is out of the bag with Avengers: Infinity War. We now feel like we can no longer exist.
But, hold that thought, because Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has only just begin. And it doesn’t end there. There’s also the entire multiverse that exists independent of the MCU. Infinity War is the tip of a gigantic iceberg. And we cannot even begin to imagine what awaits us in and beyond Phases 3 and 4; it’s like the gift that keeps on giving!
Here’s all the Marvel magic you can look forward to in the increasingly near future.
