This article will divide the list of upcoming Marvel films into three parts: theatrical releases, TV series, and animated series, to make it easier for readers to follow along.
Marvel's theatrical release is coming soon.
The Marvels
Release date: November 10, 2023
At the moment, not much of the plot of The Marvel has been revealed, but we can guess that it will likely begin by explaining why Carol Danvers appeared in Kamala Khan's bedroom, as seen in the previous Ms. Marvel credits. Besides the return of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, we also know that the film will feature Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau (who previously appeared in the WandaVision series).
Captain America: New World Order
Expected release date: May 3, 2024
This will be the first solo film project for the new Captain America, Sam Wilson, following the events of The Falcon & the Winter Soldier.
Thunderbolts
Expected release date: July 26, 2024
Often referred to as "Marvel's Suicide Squad," Thunderbolts is a group of fearsome anti-heroes and villains, with members already appearing in the MCU such as John Walker (US Agent), Yelena Belova, Taskmaster, Ava Starr (Ghost), Abomination, Thaddeus Ross (Red Hulk), and their leader Zemo.
Blade
Expected release date: September 6, 2024
All we know about this movie is that Mahershala Ali will be playing Marvel's vampire. He previously made a brief appearance in the after-credits scene of Eternals.
Deadpool 3
Expected release date: November 8, 2024
MCU head Kevin Feige said the film could be released in 2023. However, we still have no information about what Deadpool will do in the Marvel universe.
All we know so far is that a movie will be released on February 16, 2024. Let's hope that's the release date for Deadpool 3.
Fantastic Four
Expected release date: February 14, 2025
Marvel Studios has decided to postpone the production and release of Fantastic Four, relegating it to the opening act of Phase 6 of the MCU. Currently, Fantastic Four is still in pre-production.
All we know about this movie is that in the comic books, this quartet is connected to He Who Remains.
Shang-Chi 2
Expected release date: Unknown
Shang-Chi will continue his journey to explore his powers and his place in the MCU. He will face a new threat, possibly related to the Ten Rings.
Regarding the new threat, Shang-Chi may have to face Dweller-in-Darkness, or a new secret organization. In the first part, Shang-Chi defeated his own father, Wenwu, who was using the Ten Rings with ambitions of world domination.
Speaking of Dweller-in-Darkness, this is an ancient dark entity that was mentioned in the first film. This villain has been predicted to appear in the MCU for many years now, and Shang-Chi 2 could be the film where he makes his appearance.
Another potential threat could be a new, secretive organization, possibly the Ten-Rings. The Ten-Rings have been mentioned in several other MCU films, and it could become a much greater threat to Shang-Chi in particular and the other Avengers in general.
Shang-Chi is a potential character who could become a key member of either the Avengers or the Young Avengers. In the next installment, Shang-Chi may be introduced alongside other MCU superheroes.
Spiderman 4
Expected release date: Unknown
Just hours after Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters, president Kevin Feige confirmed that Marvel Studios and Sony were developing a fourth Spider-Man MCU film. The ending of No Way Home clearly showed Peter Parker (Tom Holland) would have a role to play in the upcoming phases of the MCU.
Production for the film may begin sometime after mid-2024, once the writers' strike ends, in order to meet the deadline for bringing Spider-Man back to the screen after Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (2025).
The last time we saw Spider-Man in a solo film was Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. This was the highest-grossing film in Sony Pictures history, earning over $1.9 billion. Later that year, producer Amy Pascal confirmed that Tom Holland's Spider-Man would still appear in the MCU.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
Expected release date: May 2, 2025
The first Avengers movie since Avengers: Endgame will also delve deeper into the concept of the multiverse and the origins of Kang the Conqueror.
Avengers: Secret Wars
Expected release date: May 1, 2026
Just over six months after Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, Marvel Studios will continue to deliver the most epic multiverse battle yet through the blockbuster Avengers: Secret Wars, promising to include an even larger number of superheroes than Infinity War or Endgame.
Wonder Man
Expected release date: Unknown
Wonder Man is a villain, and he realized the mistake he made, after which he joined the Avengers. His brain sample was used to create Vision in the comics.
Wonder Man's real name is Simon Williams, known as the son of wealthy industrialist Sanford Williams. He is a rival of Tony Stark's Stark Tech in the comics.
Wonder Man possesses extraordinary strength, incredible speed, and remarkable stamina. Additionally, he has exceptionally quick reflexes thanks to a special concentration of ions within his body. Wonder Man can also shapeshift, burst with energy, manipulate minds, heal, fly, or teleport.
Wonder Man may be introduced in Phase 6 of the MCU, potentially helping White Vision solve his mysteries. The name currently being considered for the role of Wonder Man is Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
Armor Wars
