{{Mob Cinematic Universe Phases}}'''Phase Five''' of the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) is a group of American [[superhero films]] produced by [[Mob Productions]] based on characters that appear in publications by [[Marvel Comics]] and [[DC Comics]]. <!-- Phase Five features all of the Mob Productions content set to be released starting YEAR -->. [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]] will distribute the films. [[Freddie Goodwin]] will produce every film in the phase, alongside other potential producers. There will be a total of 4 television series in Phase Five. 

== Development ==
By June 2019, it was reported by [[Freddie Goodwin]] that the teams at Mob Productions had already created a plan for an additional six Phases to release after the conclusion of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Three|Phase Three]].

On February 18, 2024, it was announced Phase Four would begin in July 2025. The following day, it was announced that Phase Four would also feature television series and films wouldn't be released monthly anymore. Goodwin confirmed the content would be film, series, film, then series, and so on.

In April 2024, Goodwin held a presentation and announced multiple projects that includes both feature length films and television series for Disney+. The first project, a television series, titled "Ajax", which will focus entirely on the villain [[Francis Freeman / Ajax]], who is known for fighting Deadpool. Goodwin commented stating the series would consist of 4 episodes and would set up the second ''Deadpool'' film titled ''Deadpool II'' and confirmed the series would premiere on July 10, 2025, airing weekly. Goodwin announced a second series titled "Implusion", which consists of 10 episodes and will set up the film ''The Flash and the Multiverse of the Speed Force: The Birth of Inertia'', the sequel to ''The Flash and the Multiverse of the Speed Force. Implusion'' will premiere in November 2025 with two episodes released each week. A third series titled "Moonknight" was announced to be releasing in 2026 and a fourth series, that will remain unannounced until early-2025. Goodwin also announced that the film based on the X-Men will release during Phase Four and will be split up into two parts. Regarding the ''Infinity War'' films, Goodwin stated they would conclude one story whilst setting up the events of Phase Five.

Regarding the future of the MCU, Goodwin announced that he had changed the story-telling formula and how the story goes from one phase to another. He confirmed that the "Multiversal Saga" would not have one storyline that connects all the films, instead each phase will have one "part" of the story and you'll know that it is set inside the MCU.

Goodwin expressed his disappointment to the "Chaos Saga", as he felt that the entire saga fell flat and wasn't as exciting and impressive as he had hoped. He blamed the format they used and the lack of originality within the entire Phase system, something Marvel had already done and has achieved better results. 

=== Potential volume of content issues ===
Goodwin, the CEO of Mob Productions announced he had planned the introduction of releasing television series as early as 2019, a year after planning the first three phases. Regarding to the question of releasing too much content, Goodwin stated he had already thought long and hard about the possibility of needing to delay projects. Goodwin continued and stated the company wouldn't delay any project unless they absolutely had to do so. Regarding the ''Untitled Iron Man sequel'', Goodwin announced the film is being decided upon being either delayed or cancelled. 

In discussing the big number of television series releasing during Phase Four, Goodwin stated all the series would have no more than 6 episodes, except for Moonknight, which has 10 episodes. Goodwin stated future Phases won't have anymore than three television series unless the Phase lasts more than two years.

By June 2024, Goodwin had already planned the story ahead through to 2031, which will conclude the first nine Phases. Phase Three concluded in 2025 whilst Phase Six will end multiple years after Phase Four began in July 2025. The new "Saga" of films was titled in September 2024 titled "The Multiversal Saga", which will explore the multiverse within the MCU.

==== Delays and reworks ====
In 2026, Goodwin announced that the teams would be slowing down on releasing films. He confirmed that he wants to reduce the total number from 3 down to 2 films per year. He added the changes will come into effect as soon as Phase Five comes to a close, whilst Phase Six will be the longest due to the lower release of content.
