You don’t need to be a superhero superfan to know that Marvel Studios always has a dozen projects in the works. Viewers are being treated to three+ new movies a year, even as the studio continues its fourth phase in the MCU. And now there are brand-new TV shows premiering on Disney+ to keep us occupied while we wait between films. While you can always try to rewatch everything the studio has released, we still can’t help but get excited for what’s coming next. Marvel has no plans on slowing down with new Marvel movies, and it shows. From new heroes to familiar faces who may or may not be taking their final bows, there are tons of new surprises in store as it moves forward to phases 5 and 6.
Get ready to discover new heroes to root for and also add very important release dates to your calendar (who wants to be spoiled?!), because here are all of Marvel’s upcoming TV and movie releases.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Looks like the Zune wasn’t the only thing Quill took with him from Earth. The Guardians are getting their own holiday special, and no doubt Star-Lord will show them all of Earth’s traditions to help them get into the spirit of the season. The special will also set things up for the gang’s upcoming Vol. 3 film. What can go wrong? Well…with Kevin Bacon and The Guardians involved…everything
On Disney+ November 25, 2022
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Remember Kang the Conquerer from Loki? Well, he’s back to wreak some havoc…sorta. It’s actually a different Kang the Conquerer, still played by Jonathan Majors, who will be facing this family of scientists. The Society star Kathryn Newton joins the cast as Cassie, who might join in on the family business and get a suit of her own.
In theaters February 17, 2023
Secret Invasion
As we learned from the end of Wandavision, Skrulls are still on Earth and now SHIELD is keeping a close eye on them. Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, and Ben Mendelsohn are returning to play Maria Hill, Nick Fury, and Talos. Meanwhile, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke, and Olivia Colman are also joining the cast as mysterious new characters.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Our favorite bunch of a-holes are back, but they are forever changed after Thanos’s snap. Mantis and Nebula are now members of the group, while the Gamora they’ve known, and in Quill’s case loved, is gone. Instead, a Gamora from the past is now traveling with them, and it will certainly make things interesting for the ravagers. Oh, and a new foe named Adam Warlock is here to ruin their lives. Just another casual day in space for the GOTG.
In theaters May 5, 2023
Echo
The badass former leader of the Tracksuit Mafia has a lot to think about after the end of Hawkeye. After seemingly taking down Kingpin and now all on her own, she’ll have to figure out which side of the cause she’s on and who she really is in this world made up of superheroes and villains.
On Disney+ summer 2023
Loki Season 2
Loki’s finale finally brought in that big bad of the next few phases of the MCU: Kang the Conquerer. But this time, he’s going by the name He Who Remains. But after Sylvie kills him and sets off dozens of new timelines, Loki returns to the TVA to try to warn Mobius and the others of what has happened. They don’t recognize him and Kang has now taken a place as one of the Timekeepers. What does this mean for Loki and the rest of the universe? We’re going to have to tune in to find out. Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan is joining the cast.

Dominique Thorne is making her big debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and fans have been so excited to see her bring Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, to life. The young inventor will be making her own suit of armor just like Tony Stark once did, and with the help of BFF Shuri, we can only expect something spectacular.
On Disney+ fall 2023
Agatha: Coven of Chaos
We still can’t get “Agatha All Along” out of our heads after the end of Wandavision, and now we have an even better excuse to play it loud because our favorite chaos witch is making her big return. Word on what exactly we can expect is still being kept under wraps, but based on what we already know from the character and Kathryn Hahn’s unforgettable performance, it’ll be worth the wait.
On Disney+ winter 2023
Daredevil: Born Again
After a cameo appearance that left every theater screaming, Charlie Cox is continuing his big return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a brand-new 18-episode series featuring the NYC vigilante. That’s not all. Vincent D’Onofrio is also coming back to play Kingpin. How is that possible, you ask? Your guess is as good as ours.

Sam Wilson has taken on the name and shield of former teammate Steve Rodgers, aka Captain America. And after the betrayal of Sharon Carter and the introduction of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Sam will have to step up as the iconic hero as he takes on some new foes.

Blade
Vampires in the MCU? It’s more likely than you think. Mahershala Ali is joining in as the iconic vampire hunter after first making a special voice-over cameo at the end of Eternals.

Deadpool 3
Deadpool fans have been waiting quite a while for the Merc with a Mouth to make his big return to the big screen. Not only will it introduce the black-and-red hero into the MCU, but it will also bridge the X-Men universe with the MCU in a big way. And nope, it’s not just because it’s Deadpool. In a surprise announcement, Ryan Reynolds revealed that Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine. While we’re still scratching our heads on how this can work considering everything that happened in Logan, we know to trust Ryan and his crew when it comes to all things D-Pooly.
In theaters November 8, 2024
Fantastic Four
Maybe the fourth time is the charm for the Fantastic Four?! That seems to be Marvel’s hope after it announced yet another reboot of the superhero team. WandaVision director Matt Shakman will be taking on the film with a still-to-be-announced cast. Fans are hoping to see John Krasinski come back as Reed Richards after taking on the role in Doctors Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The movie will also be the first release in Marvel’s phase 6, so you know it’s going to be a big deal.
In theaters February 14, 2025
Avengers: Kang Dynasty
We already know that Kang the Conquerer is up to no good, and it looks like things are only going to get worse. If the title is any indication, the Avengers will be facing the time-traveling villain. And as we already know, time traveling makes things even more complicated, so they’ll have to stop him before it’s too late.
In theaters May 2, 2025
Avengers: Secret Wars
Marvel Comics fans will certainly remember the 2015 Secret Wars storyline that featured collapsing multiverses and our favorite heroes trying to save all of reality. Well, the series is coming to life as the end of the multiverse saga and phase 6, which means it will certainly be an epic end to this wild new journey.
In theaters May 1, 2026
Armor Wars
Rhodey is back and things are different for the military man, especially after losing his best friend. And yes, there will be plenty of new suits. Unfortunately, a lot of the details are still under wraps, so we’re going to have to wait to find out more. Originally pitched as a Disney+ series, it will now be a movie that will fall in either phase four or five.
In theaters TBA
