Here's the timeline for Marvel's big fancy Phase 5 plans (The A.V. Club)

New Captain America, a Thunderbolts movie, and a Kang all ready to conquer the universe.

So, there we have it: A total of six (we think six) movies, plus some TV shows, forming a new reinvention for Marvel as a whole. All-in-all, a pretty robust slate—even if it’s a little light so far on anything truly seismic, like an X-Men or Fantastic Four reveal. That’s: Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania (2/2023), Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 (5/2023), The Marvels (7/2023), Blade (11/2023), Captain America: New World Order (5/2024), and Thunderbolts (7/2024). Plus, on the TV side, Secret Invasion (Spring 2023), Echo (Summer 2023), season 2 of Loki (same), Ironheart (Fall 2023), Agatha (end of year), and the just-announced Daredevil: Born Again (Spring 2024). That’s a very busy 2023!

Marvel outlines Phase 6 with Fantastic Four and two new Avengers ... (The Verge)

At SDCC 2022, Marvel Studios outlined phase 6 of the MCU, with three films: Fantastic Four, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars.

But Marvel also took things one step farther and detailed phase six of the MCU with a trio of movie announcements. The announcements were made during a busy panel at SDCC. Outside of the big theatrical releases, Marvel also showed off a new trailer for She-Hulk and confirmed Daredevil: Born Again for Disney Plus, which will star Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio from the original Netflix Daredevil series. Marvel is calling this period of the MCU — phases four through six — the “Multiverse saga,” which will come to a close with Secret Wars.

Marvel Studios' Phases 5 and 6: Everything We Learned at Comic ... (Variety)

Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige unveiled the Phase 5 slate for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at San Diego Comic-Con.

But perhaps the most important detail is what happened after the “Secret Wars”: Marvel Studios effectively rebooted, launching “all-new, all-different” versions of many of its most beloved titles, as some (but not all) characters from the 616 an 1610 universes found themselves living within a somewhat rebooted timeline. “WandaVision” head writer Jac Schaeffer will write and executive produce the show. Given the title, it’s safe to presume that Majors’ Kang the Conqueror is the Thanos (or maybe a Thanos) of the Multiverse Saga. What we learned: After her introduction in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) will star in her own Disney+ series. What we learned: Original launched as part of the Netflix slate of Marvel TV series (which were nominally part of the MCU), Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock is being (fully) brought into the Marvel Studios fold with a Disney+ series that is getting an unprecedented 18-episode order for its first season. — and a release date that gives the film the prime position for Marvel’s 2024 film slate. What we learned: Phase 5 ends with Marvel’s answer to DC’s Suicide Squad: A team up film about a bunch of MCU anti-heroes. What we learned: Nothing more than the release period for the series that spins off “Hawkeye” antagonist Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) into her own spin-off. Chukwudi Iwuji (formerly of DC’s “Peacemaker”) plays the High Evolutionary, and introduced himself to Hall H in character (implying that he played a role in Rocket’s transformation). Feige also gave a brief glimpse into what is coming in Phase 6, which is scheduled to conclude in Nov. 2025 with “Avengers: Secret Wars” — which Feige says caps off the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. What we learned: A legal comedy with a touch of “Fleabag,” this Disney+ series starring Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters (i.e. Bruce Banner’s cousin) boasts a cavalcade of superheroes who need a good lawyer — who is also giant and green. There was nary a mention of this critically adored series, but pictures from set have been fluttering across the internet as of late.

Marvel teases new Avengers movies, 'Black Panther' sequel (The Journal)

Marvel Studios unveiled the first trailer for “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ” - set to “No Woman No Cry” - to fans at Comic-Con on Saturday in San Diego.

The new “Blade,” starring Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali, also got a release date of Nov. 3, 2023, and “Captain America and the New World Order,” featuring Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, will hit theaters on May 3, 2024. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillian and Dave Bautista are all returning for the film. New cast members include Will Poulter, as Guardians adversary Adam Warlock, and Maria Bakalova. Production wrapped in March after several delays, one of which was due to an injury sustained by Letitia Wright, who plays T'Challa's brainy sister Shuri. Also returning are Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett, but not Daniel Kaluuya, whose “Nope” schedule conflicted. Coogler paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who died in August 2020. It was just one part of the massive Hall H presentation, which also included first-looks at “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and new information about Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will conclude with two Avengers movies in 2025: “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”

Marvel unveils 'Black Panther 2,' new 'Avengers' at Comic-Con (Los Angeles Times)

We were in Hall H as Marvel Studios gave a glimpse of what's next for the MCU — in Phases 4, 5 and 6. Here's what we learned.

5:20 p.m. Phase 5 is on the horizon: “Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantummania” will begin the next phase on Feb. 17, 2023. The film stars Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Klementieff and the director’s brother, Sean Gunn, with Will Poulter as Adam Warlock and “Borat” breakout Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Space Dog. But the trailer, marked by tears and somber tones, does offer indications of an acknowledgment of Boseman’s death: There is what appears to be a funeral procession, and at one point the camera lingers on a spray-painted image of Boseman (as T’Challa) on a wall that could be an in memoriam. 5:26 p.m. Tatiana Maslany and Jameela Jamil introduce “She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law,” Marvel’s next Disney+ series, which premieres August 17. There’s no mention of a new Panther, only an image of the back of a figure in a panther suit. A quick flash at the end of the trailer suggests that Daredevil — alluded to throughout “Hawkeye” — will be re-introduced in “She-Hulk.” 5:14 p.m. Finally underway, the panel kicks off with an aspirational trailer narrated by comic book legend Stan Lee, emphasizing surviving “together.” Miss Minutes (“Loki”) introduces Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. An image of the Phase 4 movies and TV shows is on the screen, as the phase will end with “Black Panther” sequel “Wakanda Forever.” He’s joined by cast members Lupita Nyong’o, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke and Michaela Coel, among others. 6:04 p.m. Feige returns to confirm a release date — Nov. 8, 2024 — for the latest “Fantastic Four” and jumps ahead to the end of Phase 6, which he says will conclude with two new “Avengers” projects: “The Kang Dynasty” and “Secret Wars,” due in Nov. 2025. Here are 10 ways to have a blast without a badge. 5:43 p.m. In an emotional appearance by the team from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” director James Gunn talks about the conclusion of the storyline in Vol. 3 — but just because it will end doesn’t mean the characters will die, he assures the crowd. Among the highlights were emotional appearances from the casts of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” confirmation that Daredevil is returning to a small screen near you, and dates for new “Captain America” and “Avengers” movies.

Phase 4 is in full swing, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not slowing down anytime soon.

The studio is charting a parallel course with its television strategy, finding a balance between new shows like “Moon Knight” and “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and utilizing familiar faces in “Loki” and “WandaVision.” He brought out returning cast members Lupita Nyong’O, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, and Winston Duke before introducing many of the new faces appearing in the sequel. After debuting some early footage featuring Zoe Saldana as Gamora and Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, Gunn shared that Maria Bakalova voices Cosmo the Spacedog in the new film. The expected news comes at what is essentially the halfway point of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the massive “Avengers: Endgame” wrapped up many of the franchise’s original storylines, the studio has rebuilt with a combination of new properties and legacy sequels. James Gunn was on hand to discuss “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which is set to conclude his trilogy. He took the stage shortly after 5:00pm PT Saturday, and the high level of expectation from fans was palpable.

On Saturday evening, Marvel Studios took over Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center for their San Diego Comic-Con panel. This year, the event is ...

I think to be able to be a part of it returning to the screen and to be a part of it showcsing this beautiful new young mind and also do all of that in the midst of highlighting these beautiful stories from this very necessary perspective, it's a blessing, it's a gift." I think it's got something to do wiht a Black super hero cladded out by Black super heroes and what that does...reminds me of what an honor it was to support this cast in the second iteration of Black Panther...to be a supporting role to a very sensitive and delicate process." "I guess it's safe to say, it opens up a vulnerability to the Guardians of the Galaxy to danger. "I love you, sincerely...It's just been an incredible act of all of our hearts and I can't wait for you guys to see it." It extends to all of us." There, he pitched Guardians of the Galaxy. "It was the beginning of this journey. Much of the trailer was set to "Do You Realize" by Flaming Lips. Fury is ready to fight but Olivia Coleman tells him he is in "no shape" to take on the fight. "You get to see that in this and I don't want to say anything. She breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience and Bruce Banner is caught off guard. It goes back to The Avengers. It includes Infinity War, Black Panther, and claims, "Today is our time." The panel begins with a sizzle reel narrated by Stan Lee. "Marvel has always been and always will be a reflection of the world right side our window."

Inside Marvel Studios' return to Hall H at SDCC, from emotional ... (SYFY WIRE)

We've come to expect the unexpected from Marvel Studios in its Saturday night presentations at San Diego Comic-Con. We expect to be wowed, shocked, ...

He seemed ready to bounce off the stage, he was so happy to be there. It's indescribable,” said newcomer Dominique Thorne, who plays Riri Williams. “To be able to be part of it returning to the screen and showcasing this new young mind, it's a blessing and it's a gift.” The massive audience that hangs on its every reveal, every tease of something or someone new, has an unmatched passion for anything connected to the MCU. This isn’t to say the mood was downbeat. His presence was certainly felt as the stunning footage from the sequel was debuted. Letitia Wright said making the sequel is “about honoring ‘big bro,’”while Lupita N’Yongo talked about how special it was to return to Wakanda. “I think we all know the impact Black Panther had on the world. Sean Gunn said working with his brother has been the most rewarding thing he’s done in his career, and said the cast was all emotional for one simple reason: We “F—-ing care.” Maybe it’s the feeling that perhaps this could be the end of the road for their characters in the MCU that had them getting all up in their feels. The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 appeared onstage after the surprise debut of the trailer for the third and, according to director James Gunn, final step in the three-film journey he set out to make with the galaxy’s greatest morons. The cast of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was also enjoying themselves as they twisted into knots to not reveal anything too spoilery. Maybe it was the rather melancholy nature of the trailer, which showed Peter Quill desperate to regain Gamora’s love, only to have her reject him and — even worse — not even remember his actual name, but Chris Pratt appeared wistful as he thanked Gunn for bringing them along for the ride. That film will kick off Phase Six, while not one but two Avengers films, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, will cap the Multiverse Saga. As usual, the studio knows how to take control over the pop news cycle and dominate the conversation.
