  (#5) ‘WandaVision’ Turns On In December 2020

  The second Disney+ streaming series on Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 docket is the idiosyncratically titled WandaVision, which promises to be every bit as strange as it sounds when it becomes available in December of 2020. The show will star Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany as a surprisingly resurrected Vision, though it’s anyone’s guess as to how the lovable synthezoid returns to the land of the living.

  More surprising than the return of the Vision, however, is the announcement that WandaVision will also star Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, a grownup version of Maria Rambeau’s young daughter from Captain Marvel. Given that Monica from the comics is a long-time Avenger with special abilities of her own, it’s a fair assumption that this series will end up dealing with her superheroic origin.

  (#6) Doctor Strange Spends Time In ‘The Multiverse of Madness’ On March 25, 2022

  Few titles in the history of superhero films have sounded more comic book-y than Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, set to release on March 25, 2022. The sequel will see Benedict Cumberbatch return to the role of Doctor Stephen Strange, with some of his previous costars expected to join him (though not all, with Rachel McAdams bowing out. Perhaps most exciting is the news that Sam Raimi (mastermind of the original Spider-Man trilogy) is taking over behind the camera.

  In a surprise announcement, Marvel Studios also revealed that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff will play a major role in the film. Presumably, she may receive training from the good Doctor in the use of her mysterious powers. Her Disney+ series, WandaVision, was mentioned as a direct lead-in to the film.

  (#16) A 'Black Panther' Sequel Is Officially In Production

  It is also known that a sequel to 2018’s Black Panther is under production in some capacity, as Ryan Coogler was already announced to have signed on to write and direct. Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurai, and the rest of the cast will presumably return. 

  Little else about the project is public knowledge, save that it wasn’t included on the slate of films revealed at SDCC 2019. As of now, it is expected to arrive in May of 2022.

  (#10) ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Roars Into Theaters On February 11, 2022

  News of a fourth Thor film starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Taika Waititi leaked before SDCC 2019, but that doesn’t mean the creative team didn’t come to the stage with shocking news to share. The movie’s title, Thor: Love and Thunder (hitting theaters in early 2022), was enough to excite any crowd - and the hype only built from there.

  First came the announcement of Tessa Thompson’s continued role as Valkyrie, King of New Asgard - a king that will be in search of a queen, as Thompson told SDCC attendees. Then came the unexpected reveal of Natalie Portman’s return to the franchise - and some heavy hints that her Jane Foster will wield Mjolnir and become Thor, as the character has done in a prominent comic book arc. And finally, it was revealed that Batman himself - or Christian Bale, technically - will be playing the film's villain.

  Oh, and there will be space sharks.

  (#13) She-Hulk

  • TV Program

  In late August, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced that She-Hulk will be joining the expanding slate of Disney+ shows that tie into the MCU. No details yet on who will be writing or directing.

  In the comics, She-Hulk is Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner (better known as the Hulk). Unlike her cousin, who is often on the run from the authorities, Walters is a much more public figure, and continues her career as a lawyer even after assuming her big, green alter ego.

  (#14) Moon Knight

  • TV Program

  In late August, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige announced that Moon Knight will (eventually) be swinging onto Disney+. No details are currently known about the cast and crew.

  In the comics, Moon Knight is an anti-hero that may or may not have multiple personalities. Moon Knight's true identity is Marc Spector, a CIA operative turned international mercenary, who is then granted powers from an Egyptian god - or not (it depends which version of the character you read). Returning to his home in New York, Spector creates two other identities for himself to assist his battle against evildoers, billionaire Steve Grant and cab driver Jake Lockley. Another personality, Mr. Knight, has also recently been created.

  Compared to most of the heroes from the MCU's first three phases, Moon Knight is relatively obscure, but his convoluted personality could offer an intriguing challenge to whatever actor fills his pale shoes.
