The Mob Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe centred on a series of superhero films produced by Mob Productions. The films are based on characters appearing in publications by Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Mob Comics. They are written and directed by various filmmakers and feature large, often ensemble, casts.

Freddie Goodwin, the president of Mob Productions, has produced each film in the franchise. Ryan Reynolds also produced Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) and its sequel, Deadpool 2 (2026). Most of the films are distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, while Sony Pictures Releasing is scheduled to distribute Spider-Man: Web of Worlds (2027).

Mob Productions releases the films in groups called "Phases". Phase One began with Deadpool & Wolverine in February 2024 and concluded with Ascendants in February 2026. Phase Two began with Deadpool 2 in May 2026 and is scheduled to conclude with The Fantastic Four: Doomworld in November 2028.

As of July 2026, six films have been released. Additional projects are in various stages of production and development.

Development[edit | edit source]

Formation of Mob Productions[edit | edit source]

In September 2012, SOI Studios president Freddie Goodwin entered discussions with Mob Productions and other entertainment companies regarding the creation of a shared film and television franchise. The negotiations were delayed several times because of disagreements concerning ownership and creative control.[1]

During an online presentation in April 2013, Goodwin said that discussions concerning the proposed franchise remained active. In June 2016, SOI Studios formally merged with Mob Productions, with Goodwin retaining his position as president of the combined company.[2]

Early development focused on separate films involving Deadpool, Wolverine, the Fantastic Four, and original characters owned by Mob Comics. Reports of Deadpool and Wolverine projects emerged in 2018, although Mob Productions did not initially confirm whether the films would share continuity.[3]

In 2020, Ryan Reynolds was announced to reprise his role as Wade Wilson / Deadpool. Goodwin said the film would retain elements of Reynolds' previous Deadpool films while incorporating the character into the new shared universe.[4]

Phase One[edit | edit source]

During Mob Productions' presentation at San Diego Comic-Con in 2022, Goodwin announced the initial Phase One slate. It included separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects, The Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, and a team film based on original superpowered characters.[5]

By the end of 2022, the separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects had been combined as Deadpool & Wolverine. Goodwin said the decision was made after the creative teams concluded that both films were addressing similar multiversal storylines.[6]

On July 13, 2024, Goodwin released a 90-minute presentation outlining the future of the franchise. He confirmed that several Phase One films had already completed production and announced that the phase would culminate in Ascendants, featuring an original team of heroes.[7]

A planned film titled Sunfire x Dazzler: The Mutant Face-Off was cancelled in December 2024. Its intended release position was removed from the phase, while Ascendants was eventually scheduled for February 12, 2026.[8]

Phase Two[edit | edit source]

Development of Phase Two began while the later Phase One films were in production. Goodwin said the second phase would increase the connections between the franchise's Marvel, DC, and Mob Comics characters while retaining distinct genres for each film.[9]

The first Phase Two project to enter production was Deadpool 2, a sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine. The film continued the consequences of the Time Ripper's destruction and introduced temporal incursions that affect the wider franchise.[10]

In April 2025, Goodwin announced that the Phase Two slate would be revealed later that year. The finalized slate replaced several projects from earlier development plans, including proposed Iron Man and Blade films.[11]

The revised phase consists of eight films: Deadpool 2, Black Panther: Kingdoms at War, Superman: Worlds Apart, Spider-Man: Web of Worlds, School Warrior: Shadow Protocol, Doctor Strange: Nightmare Realm, Avengers: Incursion, and The Fantastic Four: Doomworld.[12]

The phase's overarching storyline concerns the destabilization of multiple realities and Victor von Doom's attempt to combine surviving worlds into a single reality under his control. Avengers: Incursion and The Fantastic Four: Doomworld form the two-part conclusion of that storyline.[13]

Future planning[edit | edit source]

Goodwin has said that Mob Productions generally develops broad storylines several years beyond its publicly announced slate. In 2019, he stated that plans existed for at least six phases beyond the franchise's earliest projects.[14]

Mob Productions has announced that Captain Marvel and a sequel to Ascendants are in development, but neither film has been assigned to a phase or given an official release date.[15]

A Phase Three slate has not been formally announced.
