Revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Studios panel, we learned that Phase 6 will begin with Fantastic Four, and end with two new Avengers movies titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

We also learned that Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four is coming to theaters on November 8, 2024. The next Avengers movie will come shortly after, with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty coming to theaters on May 2, 2025. Avengers: Secret Wars will hit theaters just six months later, on November 7, 2025.
Phase 1-3 of the MCU is called the Infinity Saga, and we now know that Phase 4-6 is called The Multiverse Saga. Marvel also announced today that Phase 4 is coming to an end with She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, meaning that Phase 5 will encapsulate projects released between November 2022 and November 2024.
After some unsuccessful pre-MCU movie adaptations, Marvel confirmed it would return to the Fantastic Four storyline in 2020. The film was originally helmed by MCU Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts, who subsequently quit the project, saying he "needs a break from the superhero realm."
After years of fan-casting, John Krasinski made a cameo appearance as Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but Marvel had never committed to the Office actor taking on the role long-term.
