When people found out that Marvel was going to be reprising their spot at Hall H during this year’s San Diego Comic Con people were skeptical. The reason was that D23 is being held in September and the thought was that fans would not get any major leaks or announcements until then.
Kevin Feige fooled us all.
The first movie that was announced was Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and we knew this film was already going to be released. However, all of the MCU’s releases were shifted (thanks Covid) and now we’re getting more details that not only will M.O.D.O.K. be appearing but Kang the Conqueror as well. Ant Man and the Wasp will also be joined by Cassie Lang who might go by the name Stinger as she does in the comics. We will know more when the film drops February 17, 2023.
Next up in Spring 2023 we are getting another new series coming to Disney+ called Secret Invasion. This was a limited series that was offered by Marvel in which people were replaced by the shapeshifting Skrulls. Not much else is known about it but, we might get more info in September at D23.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been in production for quite some time and now we are finally getting a release date. Vol. 3 will be coming out May 2nd, 2023 (which they have been doing with a lot of their films to coincide with free comic book day). There’s not much known about this film except that Adam Warlock will be in it along with the High Evolutionary and the bombshell dropped that this is it…this is the last version of the Guardians of the Galaxy that will be seen. Does this mean that characters will die or go their separate ways? Possibly. Right now all I can say is get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride as this film is going to be tugging at your heartstrings.
Next, in Summer 2023 is the premiere of another Disney+ series called Echo. This series is going to feature Maya Lopez and while not much is known about this series at this time the comics show this character being in the same vein as the Daredevil universe. That summer also will give us the next chapter of the Loki series and with all of the multiverse shenanigans going on this will be an interesting series to watch.
July 28th, 2023 will give us the next chapter in the Captain Marvel saga with the Marvels. This is going to be a great movie as it will give us not only Captain Marvel and of course Ms. Marvel (if you have not watched this series I HIGHLY recommend that you do so) but others as well. Sony released Morbius earlier this year and it was a good movie and now Marvel is going to be releasing Blade on November 3rd, 2023. This movie is going to be amazing as we have no idea who is going to show up and we might even have a Morbius vs Blade fight at some point.
Stretching into late 2023 and into 2024 Disney+ has not one or two but THREE new series that are going to be coming out! Starting with Ironheart this will be the character RiRi Williams who wants to take on the mantle of Iron Man by building her own suit. This series will air in the fall of 2023 and there is a teaser in the new Black Panther movie of her working on the suit! Next up is Agatha: Coven of Chaos which will explore the villain from the WandaVision series that will start in the Winter of 2023 and finish up in 2024. But the biggest announcement that we have gotten so far is that Daredevil: Born Again will be releasing in the spring of 2024! This series is also going to be the BIGGEST series on Disney+ as it will be eighteen episodes long! No telling how they are going to tackle this however, the name of the series was actually an arc done by the iconic Frank Miller.
Captain America: New World Order will be the first movie featuring Sam Wilson as the star spangled hero. Not much is known about this movie as well other than the release date which is May 3rd, 2024. And last but not least rounding out phase 5 … we’re getting a Thunderbolts movie! For those that don’t know Thunderbolts is a team made up of villains that are trying to get things done that the heroes can’t or won’t do. The rumored lineup would consist of characters like US Agent, Baron Zemo, Ghost, Taskmaster, Abomination and possibly Yelena. We will know more on July 28th, 2024.
And everyone thought that Marvel was done and went home happy right?
Wrong.
They immediately dropped some of Phase SIX on us!
Right now only three movies are known in this phase starting off with Fantastic Four. Yep! We are finally getting the movie that all the fans wanted and with a hint of Reed Richards in the last Doctor Strange movie this only made the fans more excited. We will find out more when the film is released on November 28th 2024.
But it doesn’t end there. Ohhhhh no. In 2024 we are not getting one.. but TWO Avengers movies!
On May 2nd 2025 we are getting Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and a few months later on November 7th 2025 we are getting Avengers: Secret Wars! We have NO idea what the teams are going to look like at this point or even what’s going to happen. The reason that Marvel leaked so much is that there was another leak of their copyrights that happened a day or so before SDCC. So 2025 is shaping up to be an amazing year.
What are some of the series/movies that you are looking forward to? Let us know as we love hearing from you!
