Late last week, Kevin Feige and some of the MCU cast members announced at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) Phase Four of the MCU. Feige also announced some other movies and some Disney Plus TV shows but I will purely concentrate on the Phase Four movies today.  H ere is my reaction to what was announced.  Black Widow Black Widow is slated for release in May 2020. It will be directed by Cate Shortland and will star David Harbour, Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh and Rachel Weisz.
