Tony Leung will play the real deal in Shang-Chi. Interestingly, the titular “Ten Rings” belong to The Mandarin, who was revealed to be a hoax when he was portrayed by Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3. Simu Liu will play Shang-Chi, a martial arts-based superhero and, notably, Marvel’s first Asian-lead. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (February 12, 2021)

Supposedly, the series will explain how Wanda gets her Scarlet Witch moniker, and Teyonah Parris joins the cast playing an adult version of Captain Marvel's Monica Rambeau, who in the comics is also the superhero Spectrum. WandaVision’s exact plot is still an intriguing mystery, but it seems we'll see Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany’s characters living in some eerie ‘50s style paradise, which is unsettling because Vision is currently dead in the main continuity.

If Disney+’s promise that the TV shows are going to be essential viewing for the films is to be believed, this is the first real test. Marvel is hyping WandaVision up to be very important to the larger plot of the MCU, and the events of the series will directly tie into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Daniel Brühl, who played Helmut Zemo in Civil War, will also appear in the series, suggesting that the duo will battle with him again. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which brings back Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan to reprise their film roles, will likely explore the post- Endgame careers of two established Avengers-one of whom now wields Captain America’s shield. Two Marvel series are hitting Disney+ this year, though it’s unclear which will premiere first. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Late 2020, Disney+) Exactly what that entails is a mystery for now, but it will almost assuredly have long-lasting ramifications for future plots. The movie, which stars Angelina Jolie, newly ripped Kumail Nanjiani, Kit Harington, and more, will likely be cosmic in scale, and will introduce viewers to a whole new side of the MCU. This is probably the MCU’s biggest risk, as the Eternals are a fairly obscure (but influential) group of comic characters that are essentially the Marvel Universe’s Gods, for lack of a better term. Eternals (November 6, 2020)Įternals is where things get important-and weird.

Black Widow’s long-awaited solo movie appears to be a prequel to Endgame (considering she, spoilers obviously, died in that movie), so while Black Widow will likely reveal new secrets about Natasha Romanoff’s past, it probably won’t introduce the franchise’s next Thanos, or whatever overarching plot might be next. The first upcoming MCU movie doesn’t actually move the MCU forward-it takes it back in time instead. That said, it’s hard not to speculate how these titles might connect, given the success of the Infinity Saga. Please note that movies and TV shows, even in a franchise like the MCU, should be able to be enjoyed on their own merits rather than just as pieces of a puzzle. Here’s a breakdown of what’s next in the MCU (both in theaters and on Disney+) and what it means.

First, Marvel’s going to take some creative risks, and we’ll soon see exactly what that means for the future of its ever-expanding universe. Sure, some established heroes like Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and the Guardians of the Galaxy are coming back, but not right away. Avengers: Endgame marked the end of a decade-long saga, and the upcoming Phase Four will be the start of something quite new. She’s an important part of the MCU’s future, both within fiction (as she’s the most powerful hero around) and in the real world, because she’s going to be one of the pivotal tent poles supporting the franchise now that Iron Man and Captain America are gone.Įven though it’s no mystery why Disney would make a Captain Marvel sequel, the future of the MCU is still quite mysterious at the moment. The first movie made $1.13 billion, and the heroine has proved very popular. It’s not a surprise that Marvel is making a Captain Marvel sequel. Brie Larson will play Carol Danvers once again, although original directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck will not be returning for the sequel, so Marvel is currently searching for a female director to take the reigns. Disney announced today that a sequel to Captain Marvel is officially underway. Captain America may have retired and gotten old, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s other Captain is just getting started.
