The Marvel Studios panel at Comic-Con 2022 left more than one fan excited. Studio president Kevin Feige not only announced the projects for Phase 5, but also gave away three from Phase 6, although eight appear to be kept under lock and key. What could these be?
Yeah, we’re still talking about what the panel left Marvel Studios on the San Diego Comic-Con. There is a lot of content to analyze and projects and theories to think about. More than anything if we take into account that soon the D23 and surely we have many more bombs. Now the Phase 5 of MCU it’s practically cooked, we know what’s coming, but from the Phase 6 much remains to be discovered.
Once the Phase 5 I finished with Thunderbolts, Marvel Studios prepares for the Phase 6 that you will have neither more nor less than The Fantastic Four and two movies Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. These heavy projects have already generated great expectation, but from what we see in the timeline that they presented at the comic-con 8 other films or series are yet to be announced. What can they be?
There are many options that could fill those eight secret projects, be they movies or series. Some may be about something that has already been announced and was left halfway to nothing, while others may surprise more than one.
The first film or series of the Phase 6 is a mystery, but according to the timeline it would arrive in our spring of 2024, like the third secret project (the second is the expected Fantastic Four, with a release date of November 8, 2024). Now, who could start with this Phase?
Until now, Marvel I would only have one series confirmed for 2024: Daredevil: Born Again. Because of this, we would not be surprised if the other three dates in 2024 could also be programs of Disney+. The first could be Armor Warsa series about War Machine that half that was forgotten. Hearing nothing about her in the plans of the Phase 5 of Marvel Studiossome fans wondered if it had been cancelled, but the main writer of Armor Wars, Yassir Lester, assured that the series is still going on. Filming was expected to start in spring 2022, so if this happens like this, Armor Wars would be a good candidate for one of the first installments of the Phase 6.
Another program that was in we will see and that we do not listen to much more is wonder-mana series that would focus on one of the strongest characters in the Avengers, Simon Williams. The person in charge of bringing this project to the screen is the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Destin Daniel Cretton. As there are no details on when it might be released and it is not listed on the Phase 5, Wonder Man could arrive to Disney+ as a project of Phase 6.
Moving on to summer, the last project we would have in 2024 could be a series, like the rumored Wakanda spin-off, which would be focused on okoyeleader of the Dora Milaje, or even one related to the New Avengers.
Then, already in the middle of February 2025, we could start with movies. Since December 2021 it is known that Marvel Studios I was working with Creton in the sequel to Shang Chi. Not being present at the Phase 5, Shang-Chi 2 can reappear as the first film of the year and give us important information about The Kang Dynasty. Recall that in the post-credits scene of Shang Chi we see several characters reunited and there is talk of a threat from another universe.
In our fall 2025 we could welcome a character that has been rumored for quite some time and that would have a great importance in the next movies of the Avengers: Nova. A story centered on this superhero would align with the plans of Marvel to develop a “space show” to Disney+. And since Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars are probably stories of cosmic proportions, it is not uncommon to think that the MCU want to have Not going before to be able to include him in the team.
So far we come with the series and movies that were rumored or that are close to starting production. So before it hits theaters Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (in May 2025) we could have something related to a character that we already know, but who has not yet had his moment to lead a series (like Namore, Hercules either black-night), or introduce someone new (Ghost Riderfor instance).
After Avengers: The Kang Dynasty we have two more secret projects coming in our winter of 2025. As Marvel Studios is trying to shape a corner full of supernatural characters, we might think that we will see Moon Knight, Blade (film that comes out in November 2023) or meet Werewolf by Night. And if we add these characters (and many others) we would have a long-awaited team: Midnight Sons.
Prior to Avengers: Secret Wars (which arrives on November 7) we could have another movie. It may be a continuation of Thorof Doctor Strangeof Eternals or even something related to Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch or the mutants (the X Men) Y Dead Pool 3. Recall that the latter was confirmed in 2019. Also, if finally dead pool adds to MCU It shouldn’t surprise us that he makes an appearance on Secret Wars.
However, this is all pure theory and assumption. Many of these movies and series are not even confirmed, but we could have new information at the Expo D23 of Disneywhere it is expected that Marvel Studios Drop multiple bombs. So watch out, what’s up? MCU for a while.
