The New MCU Avengers (Phase 4 and Beyond)
Up next, Key Issues takes a look at the potential Avengers lineup into Phase four and beyond. Obviously this more of a prediction than anything else, but it’s a pretty solid nonetheless.

What Avengers Endgame Means For Spider-Man: Far From Home
Our next pair of videos comes from IGN, the first of which tries to make sense of what Avengers: Endgame might imply for Spider-Man: Far From Home. The ending of former was a bit confusing in terms of where the latter fits into the larger timeline. While this video claims that a “source” confirmed the Spidey-sequel is set after Endgame, it’s not confirmed yet. Time will tell, considering that Far From Home is the official conclusion to Phase Three.
The Future of Iron Man In The MCU
The second video from IGN ponders the future of Iron Man in the MCU. Iron Man has remained the lynchpin of the Infinity Saga. However, Tony’s death means there’s also room for someone else to eventually take up the mantle. This video analyzes the characters that might be able to replace Tony, both in terms of tech and intellect.
