Only one movie will be released next year.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going through difficult times. After the triumph of the Infinity Saga and the victory of superheroes over Thanos, public interest in Marvel movies continues to plummet.

In the last four years, Disney has released 10 comic book movies, of which only a few can be considered truly worthwhile and successful films. And the recent Ant-Man 3 and Captain Marvel 2 risk becoming the biggest flops in Marvel history, both in terms of box office and audience reviews.

However, it is too early to put an end to Kevin Feige’s cinematic universe: the studio is preparing to release its main films in the Multiverse saga. In the coming years, viewers will finally be able to see the new “Avengers,” Hugh Jackman’s return to the role of Wolverine, as well as the new “Blade” with Oscar winner Mahershala Ali. Let’s choose the most anticipated Marvel movie.

“Deadpool 3”

Release date: July 26, 2024Director: Shawn LevyStarring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Morena Baccarin and others

The only Marvel movie in 2024, but wow! The triumphant return of Hugh Jackman to the role of Wolverine, rumors about trips to multiverses, the experienced Shawn Levy in the director’s chair and the actors’ constant hints about the future epic have already seriously fueled the interest of fans.

Additionally, this will be the first Marvel movie rated PG-18. That’s why we can expect not only vulgar jokes from Deadpool, but also the usual cruelty of films about Wolverine.

“Avengers: Secret Wars”

Release date: May 7, 2027Director: temporarily absentStarring: a stranger

Marvel’s biggest and most important project. Secret Wars will conclude the Multiverse saga in an epic film that could star not only the current superheroes, but also the original Avengers, with Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Captain America. In addition, according to rumors, heroes from old films about the X-Men and Tobey Maguire will appear as Spider-Man.

In terms of epicness, the movie should surpass The Avengers about Thanos. However, for this Marvel still has to reach an agreement with its former stars.

“Blade”

Release date: November 7, 2025Director: Yann DemangeStarring: Mahershala Ali, Delroy Lindo, Mia Goth and others

The Blade reboot with Mahershala Ali was on the verge of cancellation due to a poor quality script (according to the actor) and the American writers’ strike. The Oscar-winning actor was ready to leave the project, but Kevin Feige convinced him to stay and even hired Logan screenwriter Michael Green to put together a worthy script.

From the details of the upcoming movie, we only know that it will be a movie with an “18+” rating. Therefore, the authors will definitely not refrain from demonstrating cruelty and other unusually adult scenes for Marvel.

“Spider-Man 4”

Release date: 2025-2026Director: Jon WattsStarring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon and others

The fourth installment of Spider-Man with Tom Holland will begin a new trilogy of films about the Friendly Neighborhood.

Apparently, this will be a new beginning for his Peter Parker, who “rebooted” his life as Spidey in No Way Home. And the hero will continue to play an important role in the next phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Fantastic four”

Release date: May 2, 2025Director: Matt ShakmanStarring: a stranger. Rumored to be Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and others.

The Fantastic Four have had no luck in the movies: the original duology with Chris Evans barely recovered its budget and failed to win over fans, and the 2015 reboot became one of the worst superhero movies in history.

Now Marvel has taken a fantastic team into its own hands and is preparing the first worthy film, which will be directed by the director of “WandaVision” and “The Boys”. According to rumors, the film will have a star cast: Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) is competing for the lead role, and the script is still being polished. Maybe the Fantastic Four will get lucky this time?

“Avengers: Kang Dynasty”

Release date: May 1, 2026Director: temporarily absentStarring: Jonathan Majors (questionable) and others

The most scandalous Marvel movie, which has already lost its screenwriter, director and may soon lose its main actor. In Kang Dynasty, the Avengers will have to face Kang, a powerful antagonist who exists in all realities and timelines at once.

However, even before the start of filming, the main star of the film, Jonathan Majors, found himself in a very unpleasant situation: his ex-girlfriend accused him of beatings and harassment, so Marvel is considering abandoning the actor, who has already appeared in “Loki” and “Ant-Man 3.”

Meanwhile, Kang Dynasty will be the first Marvel movie in seven years in which the studio finally shows us an updated lineup of Earth’s defenders.

“Shang Chi 2”

Release date: 2026-2027Director: Daniel CrettonStarring: Simu Liu et al.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was one of the few decent Marvel movies after Endgame. The story of young Shang-Chi, although not particularly original, was a breath of fresh air in Kevin Feige’s already boring formula.

There are no details about the second part yet, but Simu Liu will definitely return to the lead role and Destin Daniel Cretton will return to the director’s chair. Who knows, maybe one of the best sequels in the history of Marvel cinema awaits us?

“Good heavens”

Release date: July 25, 2025Director: Jake SchreyerStarring: Sebastian Stan, Harrison Ford, Florence Pugh, Steven Yang, Olga Kurylenko and others

The Thunderbolts are a team of anti-heroes from Marvel comics, reminiscent of their DC Comics counterpart, the Suicide Squad. It will feature some familiar characters from the studio’s previous films, including James “Bucky” Barnes, Yelena Belova (Black Widow), and Red Guardian.

A team of supervillains will undertake a super secret mission, which could be their last. In the summer of 2025 we will know if Marvel will be able to release a more successful version of Suicide Squad.

“Eternals 2”

Release date: until the end of 2027Director: Chloe ZhaoStarring: Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani and others

Chloé Zhao’s The Eternals wasn’t a hit for Marvel, but it brought new audiences to the cinematic universe. A more intimate picture about a race of immortal creatures living secretly on Earth, although it did not become a big reveal, it certainly stood out from the background of other films from the studio.

There are no details yet about the continuation of Chloe Zhao’s film, but the sequel could be that ticket to the great world of Marvel, because absolutely everyone seems to have forgotten about the existence of supercreatures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Captain America: Brave New World”

Release date: February 14, 2025Director: Joules SheStarring: Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler and others

After the events of Avengers: Endgame and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie’s hero Sam Wilson became the new Captain America. He will have to take the responsible role of protecting his native country and prove that he really deserves it.

One of the main roles in the film will also be played by the legendary Harrison Ford: he will play the president of the United States and replace William Hurt. It will also be Marvel’s first spy thriller since The Other War.

“Wars with armor”

Release date: until the end of 2027Director: Damian MarcanoStarring: Don Cheadle, Walton Goggins and others

Perhaps the most optional project of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was originally planned as a series, but the events in it were enough for a feature film.

Armor Wars will be Iron Man’s legacy and will focus on his partner James “Rhodey” Rhodes. In the plot of the film, Tony Stark’s technology falls into the hands of crime boss Sonny Birch, which is why criminal gangs are rapidly gaining strength and becoming a real threat not only to the United States, but to the entire world. .
