【Watch Lamas Online】

For 11 years the unofficial tagline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been “it’s all connected.” As the first,Watch Lamas Online second, and third phases of the MCU introduced the Avengers and their heroic compatriots, that sense of connection increased to create what really felt like a fully realized universe of characters who live and fight together.

Now that Avengers: Endgamehas closed the book on many of those characters’ stories, the question of what will happen to the MCU in Phase 4 is paramount to the future of the franchise. Thankfully, the new and Endgamespoiler–heavy trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Homehas the answer, and it’s huge.

In the trailer, Peter Parker encounters Quentin Beck, A.K.A Mysterio, who Nick Fury introduces as a traveler from another dimension’s Earth. “The Snap tore a hole in our dimension,” Fury explains, and Peter responds with five words that completely change the game for future Marvel movies: “You’re saying there’s a multiverse?”

This isn’t the first time multiple dimensions have been alluded to in the MCU — Doctor Strange’s solo movie hinted at there being many dimensions beyond Strange’s own and the time-travel elements of Endgameintroduced the idea of creating multiple timelines (which may or may not be splinter universes), but fully acknowledging that there are new and different universes that have access to the MCU’s prime universe is a revelation that makes sense as Marvel intends to introduce new heroes and villains in its fourth phase.

The existence of the multiverse makes blending the planned Eternals movie into the MCU much easier than it was before — without multiple dimensions it would be difficult to explain a situation in which godlike beings of enormous power didn’t interfere in the catastrophic events of the first 22 Marvel movies. The multiverse also allows Marvel to flex the full power of Disney’s recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox and its stable of X-Men.

Just as Disney didn’t have the rights to mutant characters until now, so didn’t the Earth of the MCU in Phases 1-3. A big hole in the fabric of the MCU’s reality might be all it takes for Magneto, Jean Grey, and Wolverine to step into the Disney spotlight.

Aside from expanding the roster of characters available for Phase 4, the Marvel Multiverse also allows for its current heroes to exist as multiple versions of themselves across many universes. Who’s to say that Tony Stark isn’t alive in another universe, or alt-universe versions of Captain America and Black Widow might pop back for a cameo or two down the line?

Just as the actual theories of the multiverses allow for infinite possibilities, Spider-Man: Far From Homehas just made absolutely anything possible. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is dead. Long live the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.
