That iconic return to the stage was met with a lot of worries from fans, as there was apprehension about how much Feige and company would be able to share about the future; but that ended up not being the case, as this may have been the biggest announcement of the companies history.
Not only did Feige take the stage to announce a restructured Phase Four, but he also laid out Marvel plans for the next two phases of films; projects that would include the arrival of characters like the Fantastic Four, and massive events like Secret Wars.
