Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is official. At San Diego Comic-Con 2019 on Saturday, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige took to the Hall H stage for a 90-minute panel that gave us our first proper look at what the future holds for the MCU on the big and small screens. Five films: Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange 2, and Thor 4. And on the TV side, Hawkeye became the fifth Disney+ series to join the four previously announced. It's all happening, just as the reports had been saying for the past year or so. And oh, there was a surprise at the end, with Mahershala Ali revealed as the new Blade[1].

With that giant slate, Marvel[3] clearly saved the best for last at Comic-Con[4]. Feige announced (or confirmed) a bunch of new cast members too during his presentation, including the likes of Awkwafina, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz. Some big names are joining the MCU — Ali, Angelina Jolie, and Kumail Nanjiani among them — while several of the old guard will reprise their respective roles in the next standalone chapter of their MCU[5] franchise.

There was no word on the next Avengers[6]-style get-together film, but that's because we only got a look at the next two years. For what it's worth, Feige did tease the introduction of the X-Men[7] and Fantastic Four at the end, in addition to sequels for Black Panther[8] and Captain Marvel[9]. For now, here's all we have.
