Kevin Feige is the one in charge of Marvel Studios, and he’s been hard at work with developing the present and future of the Marvel brand. This includes how their catalogue of heroes will be used throughout Marvel’s Phase 4 and Phase 5, and with the inclusion of Disney Plus to the equation, there is plenty of additional planning to be had. This is where fans’ curiosities come in – how will the Disney Plus Marvel characters be involved with the actual films? It turns out quite a bit.
According to Kevin Feige, the new Marvel phase will actually depend heavily on the content presented in the Disney Plus shows. Unlike previous Marvel television productions, for example the multiple series made for Netflix, these new shows appear to be much more in tune with the movies.
In fact, Feige revealed that at least three particular Disney Plus Marvel characters – Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight – will be at some point appearing in future Marvel movies. While the crossovers were previously suspected, it’s nice getting official confirmation regarding just how majorly Disney Plus will effect Marvel’s future film productions going forward.
In fact, Moon Knight showrunner Jeremy Slater has already made some exciting comments regarding the upcoming series and what they have planned:
“I was seven when I bought my first Marvel comic, and my life was changed on the spot. It’s no exaggeration to say that joining the MCU is the single greatest honor of my career. I’m thrilled and terrified and deliriously happy. And while I won’t be able tell you anything in regards to story or casting, I can tell that you we’ve assembled a room full of brilliant writers who truly love this character, and we’re all hard at work crafting something special for you. So stick around and stay tuned. Moon Knight is on the way, and it’s going to be one hell of a ride.”

And, of course, many film characters will be appearing within their own shows – for example, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, What If…, and Hawkeye.
We do know for certain that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be particular tied with shows like Loki and WandaVision, so it’ll be interesting to see how the overall quantity of productions will connect to one another.
The current fourth phase of Marvel so far includes Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man movie following the whole debacle between Disney and Sony.
