Plus Invoice Murray is in right here too in the event you’re into that form of factor.

Secret Invasion (Disney+, Spring 2023)

The upcoming Disney+ sequence will see Nick Fury and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn’s character from Captain Marvel) group as much as unravel a conspiracy through which the shapeshifting aliens referred to as Skrulls have invaded the best ranges of Earth’s governments.

Manufacturing is underway for each Season 2 of Loki and the brand new Disney+ sequence Echo, a by-product from Hawkeye following Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez. Loki was confirmed to be getting a second season some time in the past however no less than now we’ve a launch window.

The Marvels (July 28, 2023)

The sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel will see the return of Brie Larson because the titular Captain Marvel. Together with Larson, Teyonah Parris returns as Monica Rambeau because the film explores what occurs to her character within the aftermath of WandaVision. Directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman), a lot is unknown concerning the plot apart from Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan will lastly get to fulfill her idol, Carol Danvers.

Blade (Nov. 3, 2023)

Blade is again child! WHOOOOOOO. No, Wesely Snipes is not going to reprise the function of the enduring half-human vampire hunter however Mahershala Ali is greater than a superb alternative. Bassam Tariq (Ghosts of Sugar Land) will direct with Delroy Lindo co-starring. Ali has been within the MCU, having beforehand performed the villain Cornell Stokes aka Cottonmouth in Netflix’s Luke Cage sequence. His disembodied voice as Blade additionally makes an uncredited look within the after-credits scene of Eternals.

Ironheart, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, & Daredevil: Born Once more (Disney+, Fall and Winter 2023 & Spring 2024)

These three sequence will likely be coming to Disney+ in late 2023 with Daredevil to return to the MCU in 2024. Ironheart will deal with Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams aka Ironheart. Filming started in early June with Sam Bailey (You are So Gifted) and Angela Barnes set to direct.

Agatha: Coven of Chaos will function a “darkish comedy” spinoff from WandaVision with Kathryn Hahn reprising her function because the titular witch Agatha Harkness. In accordance with Deadline, Coven of Chaos is an element of a bigger cope with Hahn set to painting her character in further exhibits and flicks. Not a lot is understood to this point concerning the present because it hasn’t even hit manufacturing but.

Lastly, Charlie Cox will return to the MCU once more after the unlucky canceling of the Netflix Daredevil present as Disney tried to additional distance its properties from the streaming service and drive viewers towards their very own. The excellent news is that this new Daredevil present will encompass 18 episodes with Vincent D’Onofrio can be set to co-star to reprise his function as Kingpin.

Captain America: New World Order (Could 3, 2024)

Within the fourth entry within the Captain America franchise, Sam Wilson will don the protect as soon as once more in his MCU film debut as the brand new Captain America. The film’s title comes from the primary episode title from Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and other than that, not a lot is understood concerning the plot. Julias Onah (The Cloverfield Paradox) is ready to direct.

Thunderbolts (July 26, 2024)

Thunderbolts is mainly the Avengers, but when the Avengers dedicated morally questionable acts of violence within the title of justice (really in hindsight, that additionally sounds just like the Avengers). Within the comics, they are a group of “superheroes” meant to exchange the Avengers after that group was declared lifeless — the twist being that the Bolts have been really villains in disguise. Regardless, the looks of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Falcon and the Winter Soldier ought to have made it fairly apparent that this team-up of villains would occur ultimately. Thunderbolts will function the tip for Section 5 and former MCU villains rumored to seem are Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), John Walker aka U.S Agent (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) and Abomination (Tim Roth).

Section 6

Incredible 4 (Nov. 8, 2024)

Marvel lastly has the rights to the Incredible 4! Perhaps they will make a implausible film out of this property contemplating all 4 of the earlier F4 films are rubbish (that is not true we love 1994’s Incredible 4, SERIOUSLY). After a current cameo in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity that I would not need to spoil, it is cheap to surprise if that actor will play Mister Incredible. In any case, the MCU’s Incredible 4 will kick off what appears to be a HUGE Section 6.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty & Avengers: Secret Wars (Could 2, 2025 & Nov. 7, 2025)

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige introduced at Comedian-Con that Section 6 may have TWO Avengers movies inside six months of one another and can serve equally as a two-part Multiverse Saga finale a-la Infinity Conflict and Endgame. Going by title alone, Secret Wars has the potential to completely outclass Endgame in its sheer quantity of cameos and appearances. That storyline within the 2015 Marvel comics sequence concerned the collision of the primary Marvel universe colliding with an alternate universe, which destroyed each and created the “Battleworld.” Given how shut the discharge dates are for these movies, allow us to pray Marvel and Disney do not underpay and overwork their gifted group of VFX artists to make all this film magic occur.
