Marvel just announced at SDCC that Quantumania, formerly considered part of Phase 4, will instead start Phase 5 of the MCU.

So Phase 4 will be the intro of the Multiverse while Phase 5 will be the intro of Kang? Even though we already met Kang?

Correct. And Phase 6 which starts with Fantastic 4 will be the resolution of the Kang story it looks like. You can see the timelines in the top 2 pictures here;

New trailer that debuted during the College Football National Championship Game (more interesting than the game, considering what a blowout it is...):

The vibe is certainly different from the first two movies, which were more light hearted, but this looks really cool

Opens tonight.

I am interested to hear spoiler-free reviews. Some early reviews have been negative, but those have come from the predictable sources, so they can’t really be trusted.

What do you mean? Marvel always gets reviews more favorable than they deserve. Even Thor: Love and Thunder got 64% on RT.

This one’s currently sitting at a 49% on RT.

Nothing about the trailers I've seen looks very must see...

That's brutal for a Marvel film. It's basically on par with Eternals, the worst reviewed and biggest flop they've produced so far.

This movie was fucking bad.

Marvel died with Endgame(spidey i look more standalone).

Its on a brutal run. The over the top CGI heavy time travel and dimension travel where anything can be undone is so bland. And the good real characters with depth are gone.

It was decent, fun watch.

It felt more like a Guardians movie. I can see why it’s getting bashed because it feels like we’ve seen it a lot before. It’s better than the latest Thor movie.

The best of the MCU is probably behind us.

Unless they somehow completely reimagine the movies (the templates used, not any kind of reboot or anything like that), then yes, the best is absolutely behind them. This franchise is not capable of making an Ironman or a Civil War anymore. Introducing mysticism, going all in on aliens and embracing the concept of the multiverse makes taking these movies seriously next to impossible.
