I think we will get an announcement at least a few weeks prior. They're doing a lot of groundwork now, but everything will change on the closing date and they need their employees to be ready. Because we're talking about thousands of people who will be working for Fox the day before the closing and Disney the day after the closing, it will have to be broadly known and anticipated by employees, so it can't be a secret.

They may not make a big show of announcing it (though I wouldn't be surprised if they do), but I believe at least two weeks prior, at a minimum, it will be publicly known, and at the very least, the financial news outlets will be reporting on it before it actually happens.

This is, I think, the most convincing evidence for an announcement prior to the closing date: with the sheer size of this thing, with so many moving parts, with so many people being involved, it's simply a matter of necessity.

Two weeks sounds good; enough time to get everything recalibrated (after all, even a lot of people internally might find out about the date like us... I don't know- just an educated guess here). Knowing Disney, I suspect they would want to break the news themselves, but if they don't, I could see it being from a financial news outlet. Wouldn't it be fitting and poetic if it was CNBC- and even Faber himself- since that's where it all started?

Just randomly reflecting on how far the MCU has come. The phase 3 announcement really was a glorious day. Hope they do it again for phase 4. Remember thinking at the time how far away 2018 seemed crazy. Who would have known back then we would get to see Spider-Man and eventually FF and X-Men would come home. Inhumans still makes me laugh.

Out of all the announcements to surprise me the most that day it was probably Boseman as Black Panther. I had heard literally nothing about any rumors about his casting. And the Captain America 3 title troll was pretty funny. But it was cool seeing Black Panther,Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange finally get their movies.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I remember when he was announced. If you you knew where to look for the clues there were hints that he'd been in talks. I also predicted he'd be marvels black panther when I first saw him in 42 on opening night. Lol

 

[Saitou Hajime]

If that late July approval date leads to 2022 slots for both FF and X-Men, I think FF gets May while X-Men goes to November.

 

[Fallen]

I still can't believe that phase 3 will end in a few months. Time flies.

I totally loved the way the Phase 3 slate announcement was done. I hope we get this for future phases.

Feige has been record to say maybe he shouldn’t have announced the phase 3 slate. I don’t know why since it worked out so well. I mean yeah it’s a lot of pressure to not update it, but he did with Spiderman being introduced in the MCU. It made Panther, Civil War, Infinity War, Ragnorak some of the most beloved and successful superhero movies. He should do the same for Phase 4. It gets people talking and interested and builds hype without costing a dime.

Thats mainly due to all the changes phase 3 went through to which in Feiges defence there was no way he could have seen coming, and feeling like he didnt honor the original announcement. Spiderman coming back bumped a lot of films back. Antman and the wasp bumped things again. Inhumans got removed etc

 

[TheVileOne]

Didn't Warner Bros. announce a bunch of films or release dates with DC and that pretty much became a disaster because of Batman v Superman?

Because it killed a bit of Age of Ultron's hype back in 2014. They should have waited for that movie to come out.

I can kind of see that. Let the whole infinity war build anticipation a little more naturally without announcing it years ahead of time. On one hand, I can see how people are less excited about Civil War when we already know what's supposed to happen next.

I mean we see how such plays have come back to bite DC/WB. For Marvel it mostly worked out.

But oh well, live and learn.

“Storm, now might be a really good time to explain what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning.”

“That’s my secret, Cap. It’s the same thing that happens to everything else.”

Ok now I just feel dirty

"Mr Feige, now might be a really good time to tell us what's coming up in the next MCU phase"

"That's my secret, Cap."

 

[Iceman]

The GA aren’t going to remember a slate of films. And while some fans might lose hype for films coming up straightaway, most fans will have that much more excitement about the slate as a whole and even more eventual anticipation for the later ones than they would have had. It also keeps the MCU as a talking point all year round, and is a great thing for geeks to be able to remind their non-geek friends when asked (the friends who only really get interested when they’re watching one of the films).

"We’ve been told it’s looking very, very good and could happen in the first six months of next year,” Feige says. “The notion of the characters coming back is great. It’s nice when a company that created all these characters can have access to all those characters. It’s unusual not to. But in terms of actually thinking about it and actually planning things, we haven’t started that yet.”

That would line up with the deal closing in January. I think the January close is real. But it sounds like theyll let Dark Phoenix come out first. New Mutants sounds like its not happening. if they cant start developing for six months.
