Marvel: The Different Phases of the Cinematic Universe

What are the phases of the MCU? Today, Marvel divides the history and release dates of its comic book adaptations into various sagas and phases that describe the progression of the cinema universe. The first major saga in the MCU was the Infinity saga, which consisted of three phases. Phase 1 began in 2008 with the first Iron Man, while Phase 3 and thus the overall story ended in 2019 with Avengers: Endgame.

With the launch of Phase 4, a new saga has begun, which Kevin Feige first dubbed the Multiverse Saga at Comic-Con in San Diego. The end of this chapter is set to come in 2025 with the Avengers movies The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. Until then, there will be plenty of fodder for Marvel fans to come with the Phase 4 and Phase 5 movies and series.
