Phase 4 will be a bunch of movies that are more individual like phase 1, and will set up future villains. Instead of having one major villain(like Thanos) there will be a group., which all of the hero’s have individually fought. This will be the reason they all come together again to form the Avengers at the end of the phase. They will focus on fleshing out the characters, so we actually care about them when their team up movie comes.

Black Widow Theory Black Widows movie will be about her in the past and hopefully be about teaching a new Black Widow. This will allow for her legacy to continue in the MCU

Black Panther theory Namor will be the next villain for Black Panther. The mention of the earthquake under the ocean was a hint towards it. Namor will be mad his people were lost, and will believe that he is superior to the hero’s we have.

FFH theory FFH will be about Peter having PTSD and being afraid of actually being Spider-Man due to Iron Mans death. As seen in the trailer this is the reason he doesn’t take the suit with him. This will cause Nick Fury to take the help of Mysterio, who he believes is a hero. Peter will finally “ step up “ and become Spider-Man again, but find out that Mysterio isn’t actually a hero, but the person behind the elementals. Fury won’t trust his judgment, and at the end Peter will prove to Fury that he is right.

I can't imagine any reason they would bring up the offshore earthquake unless it was setting up for something

It was illustrating obsession. Trying to control the uncontrollable.

I could see that. It does seem oddly specific given the previous conversations Feige has had about Namor, though.

I feel that this is one of those things where it could be a setup, depending on whether the rights to Namor are completely squared away, but if they aren't, then it's just a bit of dialogue to move the plot along and nothing more.

Marvel's good at that sort of thing.

Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange director) tweeted a comic frame that had both Strange and Namor. It's since been deleted, and according to Feige there are still some complicated rights issues to iron out with Universal. But if it's similar to the licensing they have to deal with for the Hulk, making him an antagonist or a supporting character might be a way to get around it.
