Avengers: Endgame leaves the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an interesting place, filled with opportunity to take these characters in places we've never seen on the big screen before. The bigwigs at Marvel Studios have promised surprises and change going forward, but how committed are they to this path? We take a look at the dates Marvel has scheduled for its latest crop of movies, try to figure out what films we could be getting on those dates, and cast an eye to the future of Marvel's storytelling by attempting to answer the question on everyone's mind: what's next?
