6 Reasons Why Marvel’s Third Phase Will Be Its Best Yet

Captain America: Civil War marks the beginning of Marvel’s third phase, which is looking to be the studio’s most ambitious work yet. After all, Phase 3 will encompass an astounding 11 movies to be released between 2016 and 2019, almost double the number of films in Phase 2. Considering how elaborate the Jenga tower that is the MCU has become, can Marvel actually pull it off? Or is this whole thing about to collapse in front of our eyes?
