Marvel fans are thrilled with all the latest announcements about the films and series that are a part of their phase 4. One of the most exciting announcements though has been Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder. The film will not only have Chris Hemsworth reprise his role of the God of Thunder but also actress Natalie Portman will be essaying the role of female Thor in the film. The fourth Thor film was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con and while fans are excited about it, social media has been full of comments asking about the timelines of these films. Thor: Love And Thunder - From Natalie Portman's Return To Valkyrie's LGBTQ Reveal; All You Need About Cast and Release Date of Chris Hemsworth's Film!

Another big Marvel franchise that wasn't announced at the Comic-Con but is definitely in the works is The Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3. Director James Gunn who has now been re-hired for the third film recently confirmed that the third part is in the works but he will begin working on it after finishing the Suicide Squad sequel.

Take a look at James Gunn's tweet here:

When a fan commented on Twitter asking about how Thor 4 and Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3 fit into each other's timelines, the director responded saying Thor 4 is before. This revelation is interesting considering Avengers: Endgame concluded with Thor tagging along with the Guardians of Galaxy or as he puts it, 'Asgardians of the Galaxy' as they departed from Earth to Outer Space on the Benatar. This had left us thinking of a prospective team-up in the third instalment of the Guardians series.  Marvel Phase 4 Films Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2019!
