America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Mark Ruffalo (Incredible Hulk), and a slew of other actors of Marvel heroes, now sets its sight on having the highest-grossing second weekend in North American history.

The fourth phase is set to include the long-awaited Black Widow solo film, and sequels for Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy.
