- 0:00Welcome to Kick Ass Daily, where we bring news, trivia, fun
- 0:04facts, and more just for curious kids like you.
- 0:07Today we're going on an epic adventure into the world of
- 0:11superheroes, secret missions, and mind blowing stories.
- 0:15Get ready, because we're talking about the Marvel Cinematic
- 0:18Universe, or MCU for short, and we're zooming in on Phase Six.
- 0:22Are you ready to suit up and save the day?
- 0:24Let's blast off. First, let's get our superhero
- 0:28facts straight. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is
- 0:31like a gigantic, ever growing storybook filled with movies and
- 0:35shows about heroes, villains, and everything in between.
- 0:39Imagine your favorite comic books coming to life on the big
- 0:42screen. Well, that's exactly what the
- 0:45MCU does. But instead of telling just one
- 0:48story, the MCU tells many stories that all connect like
- 0:52different puzzle pieces, forming a huge colorful picture.
- 0:56Now the MCU is divided into sections called phases, like
- 1:01chapters in a book. So far, there have been several
- 1:04phases, each with its own group of movies and shows.
- 1:07A Phase is just a group of movies and shows that are
- 1:10released over a few years. For example, Phase Six includes
- 1:14all the Marvel adventures coming out between 2025 and 2027.
- 1:19Each phase introduces new heroes, new challenges, and
- 1:23sometimes new worlds. So what makes Phase Six so
- 1:27special? For one, it's the grand finale
- 1:30of something called the Multiverse Saga.
- 1:33The multiverse is a super cool idea.
- 1:35It means there are lots of different universes, each with
- 1:38its own versions of heroes and stories.
- 1:41It's like if there were hundreds of different Earths, each with
- 1:44its own Spider Man or Captain Marvel.
- 1:47In Phase Six, these universes start to bump into each other,
- 1:51causing all sorts of wild adventures.
- 1:54Let's talk about the big movies and shows that are part of Phase
- 1:56Six. While not every detail is out
- 1:59yet, there are a few super important movies that everyone
- 2:02is buzzing about. One of the first was Fantastic
- 2:05Four, which was released in 2025.
- 2:08Have you heard of them? They're a team of heroes who got
- 2:11their powers after a space adventure went a little bit
- 2:14wrong. There's Mr. Fantastic who can
- 2:17stretch like a rubber band, The Invisible Woman who can turn
- 2:20invisible and make force fields, The Human Torch who bursts into
- 2:24flames and can fly, and The Thing who's super strong and
- 2:28looks like he's made of rocks. The Fantastic Four are like a
- 2:32superhero family, and they have officially joined the MCU in
- 2:35Phase 6. Next up, we have not one, but
- 2:39two Avengers movies on the way. That's right, Earth's Mightiest
- 2:43Heroes are coming back in a big way.
- 2:45The first movie scheduled to come out in 2026 was originally
- 2:50announced as Avengers The Kong Dynasty.
- 2:53Kong is a super villain who's a master of time travel.
- 2:57He's tricky, clever, and can pop up at different points in
- 3:00history. While movie titles and plans can
- 3:03sometimes change, we know The Avengers will have to team up
- 3:06and use all their smarts and powers to face a massive new
- 3:09threat and protect the multiverse.
- 3:12The second Avengers movie is called Avengers Secret Wars, and
- 3:16it's set to be released in 2027. This is a huge deal in the
- 3:21Marvel world. In Secret Wars, heroes and
- 3:25villains from all over the multiverse end up on a
- 3:27mysterious planet and they have to battle it out.
- 3:30It's like the world's biggest superhero showdown.
- 3:34Who will team up? Who will be the last hero
- 3:36standing? It's a mystery, but one thing's
- 3:39for sure, it's going to be epic. Did you know that Secret Wars is
- 3:43based on a famous comic book story from the 1980s?
- 3:46In that story, even Spider Man got a brand new costume that
- 3:50turned out to be alive. It became the alien suit known
- 3:54as Venom. Who knows what surprises the
- 3:56movie version will bring? Now you might be wondering, why
- 3:59are these movies so important? Well, they bring together heroes
- 4:03from all over the MCU. It's like the ultimate superhero
- 4:07sleepover with everyone joining forces to save the day.
- 4:11Plus, with a multiverse in play, we could see different versions
- 4:15of our favorite characters, maybe even more than one Spider
- 4:18Man or Iron Man. Here's another fun fact.
- 4:22The MCU likes to hide little clues called Easter eggs in
- 4:25their movies. These are secret messages or
- 4:28hints about what's coming next. Watching an MCU movie is like
- 4:32being a detective. Can you spot the hidden clues
- 4:34about Phase Six? Let's talk a bit more about the
- 4:37multiverse since it's super important in Phase Six.
- 4:40Imagine you're at a big birthday party and everyone is wearing
- 4:44costumes. In one corner, there's a kid
- 4:46dressed as Spider Man. In another, someone else's
- 4:50Spider Man 2, but with a different suit.
- 4:52In the multiverse, there are endless versions of every hero.
- 4:56Some are the same, some are totally different.
- 4:59This means the adventures can go in all sorts of unexpected
- 5:03directions. Maybe Captain America is a woman
- 5:06in one universe, or maybe Iron Man is a teenager in another.
- 5:10The possibilities are endless with Phase 6.
- 5:14Marvel is inviting us to imagine what could happen when all these
- 5:17different universes start to mix together.
- 5:20It's like mixing your favorite ice cream flavors.
- 5:22Sometimes you get something delicious, sometimes you get
- 5:25something surprising, but it's always exciting.
- 5:28Now, let's zoom out and see how Phase six fits into the bigger
- 5:32MCU story. Before phase six, there was
- 5:35phase four and Phase five. These phases introduced new
- 5:39heroes like Shang Chi, Miss Marvel, and Moon Knight, and
- 5:42brought back old favorites like Doctor Strange and Thor.
- 5:46Each phase builds on the last one, making the story bigger and
- 5:49more adventurous. Phase 6 is the big finish to the
- 5:53Multiverse Saga, which started back in Phase four.
- 5:56That means all the mysteries, battles, and friendships we've
- 5:59seen so far are leading up to the big events in Phase 6.
- 6:04It's like when you read a mystery book and all the clues
- 6:07finally come together at the end for the big reveal.
- 6:10Here's a cool Did You Know moment.
- 6:11The MCU started way back in 2008 with the first Iron Man movie.
- 6:16Since then, it's grown into a universe with dozens of heroes,
- 6:20hundreds of characters, and millions of fans all over the
- 6:23world. And now with Phase Six, we're
- 6:26all part of the adventure. Another fun fact, The Fantastic
- 6:30Four were some of the first superheroes ever created by
- 6:32Marvel, way back in 1961. They were the original superhero
- 6:37family, and now they're finally part of the MCU movies.
- 6:41Lots like your favorite band finally coming to your town for
- 6:43a concert. So what does all this mean for
- 6:46you, the Marvel fan? It means there's a lot to look
- 6:49forward to. There will be new heroes to
- 6:51meet, new villains to outsmart, and new adventures to enjoy.
- 6:56Some stories will be funny, some will be mysterious, and some
- 7:00will be totally surprising. Whether you like action, comedy,
- 7:04or wild sci-fi, there's something for everyone in Phase
- 7:076. And guess what?
- 7:09Even though the movies are full of superpowers and amazing
- 7:12gadgets, the real message of the MCU is about teamwork, bravery,
- 7:17and never giving up. Whether you're swinging through
- 7:20the city like Spider Man or inventing new tech like Iron
- 7:23Man, it's all about using your talents to help others and make
- 7:26the world a better place. Let's do a quick recap of what
- 7:30we learned today. The Marvel Cinematic Universe,
- 7:32or MCU, is a huge collection of movies and shows about
- 7:36superheroes. It's divided into phases, and we
- 7:39are in Phase Six, which covers the years 2025 to 2027.
- 7:44This phase introduced the Fantastic Four and will bring us
- 7:482 giant Avengers movies in 2026 and 2027, including the epic
- 7:53Secret Wars and finish the Multiverse Saga, where different
- 7:57universes collide. We learned about the multiverse,
- 8:00where there are endless versions of our favorite heroes, and we
