A lot of fans were overjoyed when they heard about the list of upcoming Marvel movies for the Phase 4 and 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The post originated from 4chan, so there's a lot of suspicion that this list is just a hoax.

After all, when everything's said and done, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 3 is just starting off, so while they already have a concrete idea of what to do in this current phase, the chances of them having a definitive list of movies by the end of it are unknown. Even an industry giant like Marvel can't plan so far ahead, as this list claims that the company will start making four movies annually by 2021.

The movies on the list include the third volume of "Guardians of the Galaxy," another "Spider-Man" movie, and a sequel to the upcoming "Doctor Strange" film by 2020. After that, the list points to a "Black Widow" movie, "Inhumans," a "Black Panther" sequel and a third "Ant-Man" movie by 2021. For 2022, they're rumored to make "The Winter Soldier," "The New Avengers," "Nova," and a sequel for a "Captain Marvel" movie. Lastly, for 2023 Marvel is supposedly expected to make a "Spider-Woman" movie along with "Inhumans 2," another "Spider-Man" movie, and a third "Doctor Strange" film.

At first glance, the list seems to be believable, but Techno Buffalo points out that it just seemed so absurd that there are no "Hulk," "Iron Man," "Thor" and "Captain America" movies on this list. This is regardless of what Marvel said about its lineup looking much different beyond "Avengers: Infinity War Part 2," which is certainly reflected by this list.

Furthermore, it's also suspicious that the original list contains finalized "Spider-Man" titles, since the hero is already established as a character even before these films are released. As such, fans should take this list with a grain of salt nevertheless.

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
