**Phase Six** is the sixth chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the third chapter of the Phoenix Saga. It ran from 2027 through to 2029.

This is the first phase of the MCU to not be overviewed by Kevin Feige as he was asked to step down due to legal defamation claims made against him by Calum Kelmer, Brie Larson was also removed from her role as Captain Marvel, being replaced with Jennifer Lawrence. The initial plans for Alpha: Inhumane Warfare were already scrapped and the script had been penned by Gareth Edwards and Nia Da Costa, therefore a solo Alpha movie is being developed for later on in the Phase. Jon Favreau took over as head of Marvel Studios and Calum Kelmer returned as Alpha in his original contracted appearances. Initially Calum Kelmer stepped down as Alpha the Eternity Warrior due to personal problems with Brie Larson and Kevin Feige. He was set to be recast and his role was set to be minimised for only two of his initial 8 planned appearances, which were to only appear in Captain Marvel 3 and Avengers 5, his solo movie was changed to be a Captain Marvel movie, Captain Marvel 3's plot was given to Nova.
