Marvel’s Phase 5 & 6 Announcements Reportedly Depress The VFX Industry
The VFX industry is reportedly depressed after Marvel Studios' Phase 5 and 6 announcements. Kevin Feige spearheaded MCU's San Diego Comic-Con 2022 return as he laid out what's next for the franchise in the next several years. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will mark the end of Phase 4, and with that, the producer laid out MCU's full Phase 5 slate alongside a few projects for Phase 6 including two Avengers films with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Learning about Marvel Studios' bigger plan after the Infinity Saga was a cause for celebration for fans. Phase 4 has been criticized for being disjointed and directionless without appearing to have a common thread akin to the way the Infinity Saga laid a foundation for the eventual battle with Thanos. Now that the public has an idea about where MCU's current storytelling is headed, with the next batch of projects dubbed the Multiverse Saga, people can be more patient about these set-ups and wait for some payoff at the end of Phase 6. Still, the direction of the next saga hasn't been the only thing that's been criticized. Fans have been pointing out what they have deemed lazy visual effects and the VFX community has also spoken out about Marvel's treatment of studios working on their films.
