As the Marvel Cinematic Universe enters its fifth phase, it’s vital to look at recent comic book narratives that might influence its upcoming arcs.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has just concluded Phase 4 on the big screen with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and on Disney+ with The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Phase 5 is already shaping up nicely, but the recent run of Marvel Comics is sure to have some influence on how the narrative arcs develop next.
Marvel Studios is constantly looking to the source material for story and character-based inspiration, and 2020, 2021, and 2022 boasted some brilliant runs that helped to reshape the universe. These narrative beats are well worth checking out and could easily be implemented in the MCU’s future.
