After Avengers: Phase 4 Will Explore New Places and Times

"We're looking for worlds that are completely separate—geographically or in time—from the worlds that we've already visited," Iger told Vanity Fair. The Disney exec pointed out the fact that Marvel Studios has the rights to a whopping 7,000 characters, who can travel to any number of new places.

Arrowverse: What Is Earth-X?

Most DC fans are very familiar with the concept of the multiverse by now. There's not just one Earth protected by heroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the Flash, but infinite worlds that each play host to their own heroes and villains. And this week, the Arrowverse is going to introduce fans to one of the lesser-known branches of the DC multiverse - Earth-X.

What is Earth-X, and why do its defenders want to go to war with the heroes of Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow? Here's everything you need to know about this dark alternate universe.

Not every world in the DC multiverse can be as bright and hopeful as the core DC Universe. Earth-X might just be the darkest universe of them all. On this world, history took a very bleak turn after President Roosevelt died sooner than he should. That death set back the Allied war effort and resulted in a stalemate where both sides gained access to atomic weapons simultaneously. That wound up prolonging the war by decades, until finally in the late '60s when Hitler subdued the rest of the world through the power of mind control and the Nazis became the dominant power on the planet.
