After Luke Cage and Iron Fist: Every Upcoming Marvel Movie and TV Show

If you're wondering "will there be more Avengers movies?" the good news is "yes," though there hasn't been an official Avengers 5 announcement just yet. There are plenty of plans for our favorite Avengers to live on in a variety of forms, including the big screen and the new Disney+ streaming service.

Marvel probably won't announce their Phase 4 plans until July's San Diego Comic-Con or August's D23, and we can expect a better grasp on whether there will be more Avengers team up movies then. (We also have a good theory on who will be the MCU Phase 4 villain.) Fortunately, we do have a good idea of the next steps for the MCU over the next few years. Here's everything you need to be on the lookout for:

George R.R. Martin: 3 Game of Thrones Spinoffs Are ‘Moving Forward Nicely’

George R.R. Martin, creator and author of A Song of Ice and Fire, has said that three of the five Game of Thrones' spinoff series at HBO are "moving forward nicely."

Martin published a new "not a blog" post on his website and, alongside praising Avengers: Endgame, gave a little update as to the status of the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series that will fill the void following the end of this final season.

"Oh, and speaking of television, don’t believe everything you read. Internet reports are notoriously unreliable," Martin wrote. "We have had five different GAME OF THRONES successor shows in development (I mislike the term “spinoffs”) at HBO, and three of them are still moving forward nicely. The one I am not supposed to call THE LONG NIGHT will be shooting later this year, and two other shows remain in the script stage, but are edging closer. What are they about? I cannot say. But maybe some of you should pick up a copy of FIRE & BLOOD and come up with your own theories."

How Many Times the Infinity Stones Have Been Mentioned in the MCU

Keeping track of the Infinity Stones is no easy task. From Asgard to Midgard, from Xandar to Vormir, the stones have been hidden, their presence mainly unknown to the galaxy except to a select few until it became everyone's top priority to stop Thanos from collecting them.

So which was the stone that caused the most chatter? We tallied up every mention of each Infinity Stone up through Avengers: Infinity War:

The first stone to appear in the MCU was the Tesseract. The Red Skull pulled it out of a church in Norway in Captain America: The First Avenger. The second stone to be seen was the Mind Stone. Encased in a shell and used by Loki to manipulate the minds of men, he created havoc and chaos in New York.
