The massive success of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has audiences once again obsessed with what’s next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’re still waiting for an official announcement confirming that “Black Panther 3” is happening and we hope the curse that’s been placed on the “Blade” movie is lifted, but otherwise, it looks like we have plenty to be excited about. With Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson taking over the Captain America mantle, Riri Williams finally telling her own story in “Ironheart” and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II joining the franchise, there’s a lot for Black fans to anticipate. To get your nerd levels hyped up, here’s everything you need to know about Marvel Studios’ upcoming releases.
Dec. 22: ‘What If…?’
There’s some really fun trips through the multiverse coming, but we cannot contain our crazy excitement for Storm wielding Mjolnir.
Feb. 14: ‘Captain America: Brave New World’
Sam works to unravel a conspiracy that lands Isaiah Bradley in prison. We’re not sure about where that’s going, but it will be fun watching him fight Harrison Ford’s President Ross/Red Hulk.
March 4: ‘Daredevil: Born Again’
Marvel’s Netflix universe becomes fully incorporated into the main MCU with a new Disney+ series featuring a new showdown between Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.
May 2: ‘Thunderbolts’
The funniest title of the bunch is definitely “Thunderbolts,” which has an “Island of Misfit Toys” vibe, but with a lot of action and trash talk.
June 24: ‘Ironheart’
After what felt like endless delays, Riri Williams is finally returning in her own series. Following her experience in Wakanda, she’s desperate to do whatever it takes to build another Iron Man suit. Her desperation may lead to some bad choices and consequences.
July 25: ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’
The footage teased at San Diego Comic-Con has us cautiously optimistic about Marvel’s First Family finally joining the MCU. However, we’ve been burned by Fantastic Four movies before, so fingers crossed that Pedro Pascal continues his string of hits.
Aug. 6: ‘Eyes of Wakanda’
This animated series offers us a glimpse at Wakanda’s past, telling stories about the country’s most famous warriors.
October: ‘Marvel Zombies’
The continuation of this “What If…?” story finds Shang-Chi and Katy at the center of a horrifying apocalypse.
December: ‘Wonder Man’
We really don’t know what to expect from “Wonder Man.” Will it be drama or comedy? Which version of Simon Williams is Yahya Abdul-Mateen II playing? We don’t know, but we know he’ll be captivating.
2025: ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’
There’s no date yet for this animated adventure chronicling Peter Parker’s first year as Spider-Man, but we hope when it does premiere we get a glimpse of Miles Morales somewhere in the mix.
