With Tony Stark gone, the MCU needs a new super-genius inventor. Enter teenage prodigy

This
spinoff from
WandaVision
will star Kathryn Hahn as her fan-favorite character Agatha Harkness. Joe Locke
(Heartstopper)
and Aubrey Plaza (Hahn’s

are also in the cast
, as is
Patti LuPone
. (A second
WandaVision
spin-off, this one focusing on Paul Bettany’s Vision, is also
reportedly in the works
.)
Captain America: Brave New World
Release date: August 26, 2024 (in Theaters)
We’ve got
a new Captain America
, so it was inevitable that we’d be getting a new Cap movie. Anthony Mackie will appear in the title role.
Harrison Ford was announced to take over the role of General Thaddeus Ross
and will make his debut in this release.
Daredevil: Born Again
Release date: Spring 2024 (On Disney+)

Marvel Studios is readying a movie
based on the comic
Thunderbolts
and director
Jake Schreier
has been tapped to bring it to life. This film marks the end of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Steven Yeun (
Nope
) signed on
for an undisclosed role
Blade
Release date: February 14, 2025 (In theaters)
Disney hasn’t revealed much about this reboot of the franchise that features a badass vampire-hunter who is also a vampire, but we know that it stars two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, who also played Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes in Netflix Marvel series
Luke Cage
. We also know Blade appeared (or at least his voice did) in
the end credits of
The Eternals
. After losing
director Bassam Tariq
, who would have been the first U.S.-Pakistani person to helm a Marvel Studios film,
Blade
was put on pause
, and its release date was shifted. But now it has a
new
director in place:
Lovecraft Country
‘s Yann Demange, as well as a writer in Michael Starrbury
, so the September 2024 date looks ever more likely.
Deadpool 3
Release date: May 3, 2024 (In Theaters)
Ryan Reynolds’ “merc with the mouth” is set to appear in
Disney’s first R-rated film
following the company’s completed acquisition of Fox assets. Oh, and did you happen to hear that
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is also appearing in this one
? Unless you are cut off from all
social media
,
you no doubt caught
that
announcement
.
Deadpool 3
writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wenick spoke with
Den of Geek
about how Deadpool’s move to the MCU will not affect the feel of the movie. Or, in Wernick’s words: “Deadpool’s gonna be Deadpool.” Reese also said that Disney has been more than willing to ensuring the franchise keeps its core identity.
Shawn Levy (
Free Guy
) is directing.

Marvel Studios
Fantastic Four
Release date: May 2, 2025 (In theaters)
Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, kicks off with the MCU debut of Marvel’s most famous family. Jon Watts was scheduled to direct
but he is no longer doing that
—
Matt Shakaman of
WandaVision
is now in the chair—and though we saw
John Krasinski
as Mr. Fantastic in
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
, there’s no guarantee he returns.
:
Marvel Studios
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
Release date: May 1, 2026 (In theaters)
Since neither Phase Four or Phase Five ended with Avengers movies, Phase Six will end with two, back to back. The first is
The Kang Dynasty
, a title which heavily suggests that Kang (Jonathan Majors) will play a major role.
Destin Daniel Cretton (
Shang-Chi
) will direct
.
:
Marvel Studios
Avengers: Secret Wars
Release date: May 7, 2027 (In theaters)
It all comes down to this. Phase Six, and the whole Phase 4-6 arc of
the Multiverse Saga
, ends with
Secret Wars
. We don’t know anything about the plot other than the comics that the title is based on; Marvel veteran Michael Waldron
(Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness)
is writing the script
.
:
Marvel Studios
Armor Wars
Release date: Unknown (In theaters)
This
project
—originally slated for a Disney+ series, but
now getting the feature film treatment
—will follow James Rhodes (
Don Cheadle
) as he tracks down stolen tech that allows criminals to replicate Iron Man
technology
.
Also
: Marvel slotted several other projects for Phase Six that take place alongside
Fantastic Four
and the
Avengers
films. There are two in fall 2024, two in winter 2024, one in winter 2025, two in spring 2025 and two in summer 2025. Some of those are probably…

Untitled Wakanda Series
Release date: Unknown (On Disney+)
Not much is known yet about this show set in
Black Panther
‘s home country.
Untitled
Shang-Chi
sequel
Release date: Unknown (In theaters)
Shang-Chi’s debut movie was
compelling, exciting and fun
. It also made
a ton of money
, so a sequel is inevitable. That the film’s director is making
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
does throw it into limbo a bit.
Untitled
Wonder Man
series
Release date: Unknown (On Disney+)
Marvel Studios
has announced that it’s moving ahead with a
Wonder Man
series.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
director
Destin Daniel Cretton
is attached to helm and
Brooklyn 99
writer Andrew Guest (who also produced
Hawkeye
) is on board to showrun the series. On October 31, the title star was announced: genre favorite
Yayha Abdul-Mateen II
.
Untitled mutants movie
Release date: Unknown (In theaters)
Now that Disney owns the old Fox assets that included all the “mutant” Marvel superheroes, you can very likely count on characters like the X-Men making an MCU debut.
