For over ten years now, Marvel Studios has been delighting comic book fans with a whole series of films based around the superheroes of the House of Ideas. From Iron Man, released in 2008, to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May 2023, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania in November 2022 and February 2023 respectively, and The Marvels also in 2023, Marvel feature films have cradled the cinematic memories of millions of fans who have come to discover - or rediscover - their favorite heroes on the big screen.
Years after Disney bought 20th Century Fox, which held the rights to X-Men and Fantastic 4, what does Marvel Studios have in store for us? We take a look at phases 4, 5 and 6 of the MCU and the release dates of the films announced by Kevin Feige!
Ryan Reynolds makes his return to the big screen as Wade Wilson in Deadpool & Wolverine, in cinemas on July 24, 2024!
Sam Wilson returns as the new Captain America in a solo feature film, Captain America: Brave New World, scheduled for release in 2025. His return follows his first-ever appearance in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, released on Disney+ in 2021.
The team of supervillains (but not necessarily all that villainous) led by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, played by Julia Louis Dreyfus, is coming to the big screen in 2025. Characters officially introduced, for the most part, here and there in Marvel series and films, such as Yelena Belova in Black Widow and Hawkeye, or U.S. Agent in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.
To catch up with Blade, played by Mahershala Ali, head to 2025 to discover the adventures of the MCU's demon-hunting vampire.
After appearing in season 1 of Loki, then in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Kang the Conqueror will be at the heart of the plot of the next Avengers feature film, entitled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, in cinemas in May 2026. Something tells us that the multiverse is about to take another beating...
Just one year after Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, a new film featuring the superhero team is due to hit theaters, Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for release in May 2027.
Also of note:
When will the X-Men arrive in the MCU? No answers from Kevin Feige, apart from a"And there's no time left to talk about mutants, and how mutants [are] theMCU" atComic-Con 2019. But they're coming, mark my words! A reference has already been made to them in the Miss Marvel series, not to mention the appearance of a multiverse version of Professor Xavier in the latest Doctor Strange, or even Le Fauve in The Marvels.
In short, we're going to be living under the aegis of superheroes for a long time to come, folks!
