San Diego Comic Con just wrapped up this past weekend, for those of you living under a rock. The event was jam-packed with new and exciting Marvel Cinematic Universe updates. Phase Four of the MCU ends with a Thunderbolts movie. Everything that has a set release date has been added to the MCU Release Dates page, and the two trailers that dropped (She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) can be found Here.
As far as Disney+ shows, we’re getting the following lineup!
Secret Invasion — Spring 2023
Echo — Summer 2023
Loki, Season 2 — Summer 2023
Ironheart — Fall 2023
Agatha: Coven of Chaos — Winter 2023/2024
Daredevil: Born Again — Spring 2024
Kevin Feige showed the first teasers for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Secret Invasion, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Though, these haven’t been released online yet. Chukwudi Iwuji will be the High Evolutionary in GOTG 3, which likely points to an origin for Rocket. If we lean on the source material for the High Evolutionary, he allegedly created Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver. However this was retconned to establish Magneto as their father, in order to weave them into the X-Men stories.
In addition, it has been heavily rumored over the last week or so that Antony Starr has been cast to play Dracula in the upcoming Blade movie. If you’ve watched “The Boys”, he plays a sociopath incredibly well. So if the rumors are true, I’m optimistic for his performance.
Lastly, of the slew of new movies announced, Feige announced that Phase Six will be known as “The Multiverse Saga”. Within Phase Six is Captain America: New World Order. I was immediately reminded of an easter egg from Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. What if the ‘New World Order’ is “Hydra World”?
So what are your thoughts after all the newest announcements? Any other intriguing rumors? I saw something earlier saying that MODOK is in the new Ant-Man movie, but I haven’t corroborated that yet. Let me know what you think in the comments!
