Marvel Movies Coming Soon: Phase 4 Titles, Release Dates Confirmed At Comic-Con
Marvel has officially confirmed Phase 4, and the normally tight-lipped studio actually revealed some details about nearly every title at their San Diego Comic-Con panel. Not only are movies included, but several Disney+ TV shows are also on the official lineup. See all the Phase 4 titles and release dates announced so far:
“Black Widow” (May 1, 2020) Scarlett Johansson’s solo movie takes place shortly after “Captain America: Civil War” when she’s on the run. She’ll run into Taskmaster, Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh). Her love interest will be played by O-T Fagbenle.
“Eternals” (Nov. 6, 2020) This movie introduces a new group of immortal heroes. The cast includes Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Lia McHugh as Sprite and Don Lee as Gilgamesh. Makkari is the first deaf character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” (Disney+, fall 2020) Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan lead this Disney+ TV series, which will bring back “Civil War” villain Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl).
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of 10 Rings” (Feb. 12, 2021) Simu Liu (“Kim’s Convenience”) stars as the titular character. He’ll go up against the real Mandarin (Tony Leung). Plus, Awkwafina co-stars.
“WandaVision” (Disney+, spring 2021) Despite dying in “Avengers: Infinity War,” Paul Bettany returns as Vision alongside Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. The show will also include an adult Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), who was introduced as a child in “Captain Marvel.”
“Loki” (Disney+, spring 2021) The god of mischief (Tom Hiddleston) will have some big adventures after the time heist in “Avengers: Endgame” allowed him to escape with the Tesseract. This also means he doesn’t have any of that “Thor: Ragnarok” character development.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (May 7, 2021) Scarlet Witch will join Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for this one. The title confirms the existence of the multiverse.
“What If…?” (Disney+, summer 2021) This animated series includes over a dozen returning Marvel stars who will voice alternate stories for their characters. Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) are just a few of the 25 cast members revealed.
“Hawkeye” (Disney+, fall 2021) Jeremy Renner returns as Hawkeye, and he’ll be training a new Hawkeye, Kate Bishop (no casting has been announced), in the art of being a superhero without superpowers.
“Thor: Love and Thunder” (Nov. 5, 2021) The fourth “Thor” film will bring back the newly-crowned King of Asgard, Valkyrie, who according to actress Tessa Thompson, “needs to find her queen.” Also returning is Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who is the female Thor. Of course, Chris Hemsworth is also back as the god of thunder.
“Blade” (TBA) Mahershala Ali (who previously joined the MCU on Netflix as “Luke Cage” villain Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes) approached Marvel after winning the Academy Award to ask if he could play Blade. The vampire slayer is joining the MCU in Phase 4.
At the end of the San Diego Comic-Con panel on Saturday night, Marvel boss Kevin Feige added that a few other films are confirmed as well. “Black Panther 2, “Captain Marvel 2,” “Fantastic Four” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” are all confirmed as being in development.
