Between Marvel Studios, Sony, and Fox, there's a lot of Marvel movies on the way. Here's every single film you can expect over the coming years. Between Marvel Studios, Sony, and Fox, there's a lot of Marvel movies on the way. Here's every single film you can expect over the coming years.
THE NEW MUTANTS
Joining the cinematic ranks of young superheroes is The New Mutants, adapted from the comic series of the same name. Locked away in a secret facility, but desperate to fight their way to freedom, the young cast includes recognizable names like Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch), and Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things). With YA roots courtesy of Josh Boone, who directed the adaptation of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, The New Mutants also walks a fine line between sci-fi and horror. It was originally meant to release April 2018, but was pushed back at the last minute by more than a year to allow for reshoots, and has just kept getting delayed. Disney now has the film dated for April 2020.
BLACK WIDOW
A solo Black Widow movie is officially headed to theaters in spring 2020, with Cate Shortland taking the reigns as director, thus becoming Marvel Studios' first solo female director (after Anna Boden co-directed Captain Marvel). Fans have been clamoring for a standalone adaptation of Black Widow with Scarlett Johansson since Natasha Romanoff first turned up in Iron Man 2, and ten years later it'll finally happen, albeit after Natasha's death in Avengers: Endgame. The Black Widow solo movie is set following the events of Captain America: Civil War, and sees the former KGB assassin confronted by the ghosts of her past. David Harbour joins the MCU as villain Red Guardian, while Florence Pugh and Rachel Weisz play other trained Black Widows.
MORBLUS
After playing the Joker in Suicide Squad, Jared Leto is returning to the world of comic books in a role that should offer him a bit more screen time. Sony's Morbius, the Living Vampire movie has already begun filming and will release in July 2020. Leto plays Michael Morbius, a doctor who tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease but instead imbues himself with vampire-like traits, including a lust for human blood. Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) and will also star Doctor Who alum Matt Smith.
THE KING’S MAN
THE KING’S MANis a period-set prequel to the main Kingsman film franchise, once again directed by Matthew Vaughn. Ralph Fiennes stars as the Duke of Oxford, while Harris Dickinson plays his protege Conrad. Their early version of The Secret Service must stop Rasputin and his evil alliance from causing a war that kills millions. The King's Man was originally scheduled to be released in 2019, but was later delayed to February 2020, then ultimately settled in September 2020
VENOM 2
Though many doubted it, and reviewers panned it, the Tom Hardy-led Venom proved to be an unstoppable juggernaut, grossing $855 million at the worldwide box office and more than securing a sequel. Venom 2 will see writer Kelly Marcel returning to pen the script, though director Ruben Fleischer ended up too busy with Zombieland 2 to come back for the sequel. Venom 2 is headed to theaters in October 2020, and will see the proper introduciton of popular villain Carnage aka Cletus Kassady (Woody Harrelson). Naomie Harris is also rumored to play Shriek.
THE ETERNALS
In fall 2020, Marvel Studios introduces The Eternals to the MCU, in a film that sees The Rider director Chloe Zhao in the director's chair. Written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo, The Eternals story will cover over 7000 years of time, while chronicling the lives of the titular immortal alien race. It'll also presumably become the launch pad for a more cosmic MCU in Phase 4 and beyond. Angelina Jolie leads the cast as Thena, and is joined by Richard Madden as Ikaris, a newly buff Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Gemma Chan, as Sersi, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, and more.
SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF TEN RINGS
Promising to bring hardcore martial arts action into the MCU, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a priority for Marvel in Phase 4. The movie is based on comics about the son of Fu Manchu, who has his eyes opened to his father's wickedness after being sent on a dark mission, and decides to become a superhero instead, fighting for those who need him instead of the father who would command him. Shang Chi will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and hit theaters in winter 2021. Simu Liu stars as the MCU's first Asian superhero, while Tony Leung has been cast as The Mandarin (the real one, not his Trevor Slattery imitation).
DOCTOR STRANGE 2
Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War earned him widespread acclaim, which is partly why Marvel Studios finally moved forward with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With Scott Derrickson returning to direct, and Jade Halley Bartlett now handling script duties, Doctor Strange
THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER
With Thor: Love and Thunder, the Asgardian warrior becomes the first MCU hero to get a fourth solo movie. Thor: Ragnarok's Taika Waititi returns to write and direct the proceedings, and while it's still unknown what exactly Thor will be doing, Love and Thunder will mark the return of Natalie Portman's Jane Foster to the MCU. Jane will become a female version of Thor, while new Asgardian king Valkyrie will be on the hunt for her queen
BLACK PANTHER 2
Ryan Coogler's Black Panther quickly became one of the biggest movies of all-time in the United States, and while its international gross wasn't on the same level as Avengers: Infinity War (which no one expected it would be), there's no denying that it was an astounding success - critically and commercially - for Marvel Studios. So, it's no wonder that Black Panther 2 is set to happen, with Coogler back in the director's chair, and Chadwick Boseman back as the King of Wakanda. As usual, story details are scarce this far out from its spring 2022 release.
