MCU

Now that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has wrapped up What If…? In rousing fashion, what can fans expect next from the MCU?  Let’s look at what movies and Disney Plus shows have been announced.

Movies

Eternals

Eternals (November 5, 2021) – A new group of heroes to face a new menace – The Deviants. Some big stars joining the MCU for this one 

Spider-Man: No Way Home (December 2021) – Rumors have been crazy that we’ll see the previous actors who played Spider-Man, along with various villains from those films.  It’s going to be a big movie.  

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) – We expect this to stem from the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home and possibly WandaVision.  

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) – Another fun entry into the Thor series, featuring Jane Foster taking up the hammer!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) – There is little to no information on who, if anyone, will be taking on the mantle as Black Panther, but we’re looking forward to more Wakanda. 

The Marvels (2022) – We’ll get Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau as Photon in what should be a fun film.  

Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania (2023) – Our (sometimes) diminutive hero will return in what we expect to be another adventure into the Quantum Realm.  

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) – Everyone knows this will be the Guardians’ last feature film, but will we lose some fan-favorite characters or will they get more happy endings?

Fantastic Four (TBA) – Multiple studios have tried and failed to deliver a decent Fantastic Four movie.  Will the MCU break the streak?  Let’s hope so.

Blade (TBA) – Loki let us know that vampires exist in the MCU, so we are stoked to get a new version of Blade on the screen. 

Disney Plus Shows

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

Hawkeye (December 2021) – Hawkeye always gets shortchange in the MCU, since… well he’s an archer.  But, let’s see if this series can win some more fans over to the character.   

Ms. Marvel (2022) – We’ll meet Kamala Khan, as a teenaged superhero who idolizes Captain Marvel. 

Moon Knight (2022) – This one should be very strange, as the main character suffers from multiple personality disorder. 

She-Hulk (2022) – Tatiana Maslany joins the MCU as She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters.  We’ll also get visits from the Hulk, Abomination, and potentially other MCU staple characters. 

Secret Invasion (2022) – Nick Fury will take center stage in this film about the shape-shifting Skrulls who have been replacing human beings for years. 

Ironheart (TBA) – Welcome the new Iron Man! Who (Riri Williams) happens to be a young, genius inventor who creates the most advanced suit since Iron Man. She is also said to appear in Wakanda Forever. 

Armor Wars (TBA) – Bring on the armor! War Machine will return and fight some of Tony Stark’s armor tech that has reached the wrong hands. 

I am Groot (TBA) – What more can we say?  It’s Groot!

Loki: Season 2 (TBA) – We’ll get more adventures with our reformed version of Loki as he navigates the shattered multiverse. 

What If…?:  Season 2 (TBA) – Well who knows after the end of season 1!
