At the Phase 3 announcement event, Marvel's Kevin Feige had a Q&A session.  [During which](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak_2fhZUe0s#t=501) he said this:

> **Audience member** - Phase 3 seems just enormous, and we're used to 4-5 movies in each Phase.  Can you talk about your plan moving forward how many movies you're planning on putting movies in each Phase?

> **Kevin Feige** - I don't think we set out to say any particular number.  Phase 1 was 6 films.  Phase 2, and for those following along, you will realize, that ***Ant-Man* truly is the end of Phase 2, and *Civil War* is truly the beginning of Phase 3.**  So that leaves us with 6 films in Phase 2, and 9 films in Phase 3.
