Every Way MCU Phase 4 Is Different From Marvel's Previous Phases
The Marvel Cinematic Universe shows no signs of stopping soon, and with the Infinity Saga over, the studio has been rolling out Phase 4. This new phase, stocked with new and old characters and various TV shows as well, is already very different from Phases 1-3. The MCU as it’s known began in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, which introduced Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and set the tone for what was going to become an extensive universe of Marvel characters.
