Yes to Namor... but other than that I don't know... I feel like its a bit too late for Hawkeye/Black Widow/Nick fury to get a solo film after Avengers 4. I think Punisher/Ghost Rider/Blade should be part of the Netflix shows... so I don't want them to get their own film. I also don't see Daredevil/Iron Fist/Luke Cage getting their solo film, maybe a Defenders film? Maybe She-Hulk or Spider-Woman?
 
If I had my way it would be the debut of Spidey in the MCU. I'd also like to see the Rise of The Midnight Sons adapted. Namor seems like a no brainer as well for a phase four debut. Kang being the overarching villain like Thanos before him.
 
If there's any justice, the first film of Phase Four will be.....Fantastic Four.
 
Ghost Rider. There is no way they can do him or his villains justice on TV.
Captain Britain will bring something new as well.
 
I'd like to see Nova, runaways and Namor. Voted runaways because Nova can turn up in GotG films and I'm not sure if Universal still has the Namor distribution rights.
 
Black Widow, easily.

The Runaways as a Netflix TV show.
 
Great idea for a thread. My vote goes unquestionably to Namor the Sub-Mariner.
 
RUNAWAYS RUNAWAYS RUNAWAYS. Sorry. I'd just be so excited to see the gang on the big screen. I think the first volume would make a perfect adaption for the big screen and I'd love Joss Whedon to direct it.

Runaways is a movie they have had concrete plans for in the past, which strikes me as something more plausible for the big screen. Namor seems the biggest name, but he's more complicated to bring on screen due to Universal still having distribution rights.

2020 is right around when Fox's Fantastic Four rights expire if they don't bring another new movie. It is always a possibility.

I suspect whatever it'll be, they'll want to take a small break from the cosmic. I also feel we should all be prepared to be completely surprised.
 
Namor The Submariner would be my personal preference. Opens up another new side to the MCU which would be interesting to see

Then if all goes to plan and FFINO causes the FF to revert follow it with a reboot of The Fantastic Four, and somehow link the two together.
 
I feel like it's going to be Ghost Rider since he won't be involved in Infinity War at all so there won't be scheduling issues. Then again it could be Thunderbolts.

Blade, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Runaways and Punisher will probably all come to TV during Phase 4.
 
I'd like to see Namor, Moon Knight and She-Hulk.
 
I piggyback on everyone who has been saying F4...I genuinely believe it will come home as the first of the 3 properties Marvel doesn't own...it will be a glorious day when Marvel shows that 4 logo and the Latverian flag side by side as a way to say...we did it! we have them back!
 
Runaways. Perfectly setup from all the past films (magic, time travel, creatures). It's the one movie I really want from Marvel. Too bad this wasn't made in Phase 1 like it was supposed to be as Mae Whitman would have made an amazing Gert.
 
Agents of Atlas with John Cho as the lead!
 
Winter Soldier should get a movie after phase 3, not necessarily a franchise but a one-off film would be great. Nova would fit perfectly into the universe, though it is more of a safe choice. Runaways and Thunderbolts on the other side can bring some fresh vibe to MCU.

I voted for Namor, but I would also like to see Runaways, Nova and Thunderbolts.

She-Hulk and Moon Knight can work well enough on TV.
 
I've always felt that The Runaways would work better as an ongoing TV show than as a single movie, just by it's structure/pacing.
 
Looking at the poll question specifically and not picking what I want the most I choose Nova. After Infinity War I'm thinking cosmic galore! I think Moon Knight and Runaways are definitely a better fit for TV. I would love War Machine to became a replacement for the Iron Man films (same with Winter Soldier I suppose). Werewolf by Night would be awesome in either form, the MCU needs more supernatural.
