Of course, Sony’s annoucement of a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming arrives even before the film has hit theaters — nearly seven months before, in fact.
And, with the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel’s placement after Avengers 4, it may be kicking off Phase 4 (or, as was the case with Ant-Man, it may be closing out Phase 3).
Considering these release dates are front-loaded in the spring and summer of 2019, it seems possible Marvel may debut a fourth feature in the fall or winter.
So, since the MCU continues to grow in popularity and success, green-lighting another film starring one of Marvel comics’ most beloved superheroes seems like a smart move.
