Talented actor, and his antihero vibe felt in line with Kang’s ominous presence.

I know their supposed to be kinda like present day SHIELD now but they still seem quite low down on the gov food chain. It's been a while since I saw Secret Invasion. Is it explained in that? I can't recall.

Just rewatched Deadpool 2…

I’m not gonna lie, I absolutely loved it. I initially despised it and found it to be such a cringey and lackluster sequel to the original back when it first was in theaters. But I can admit when I’m wrong, it was super duper (HA) entertaining upon a rewatch.

I loved the sad clown aspect for DP and the jokes stuck the landing a lot more the second time around (not the dubstep joke though, that one a second time around can dig itself back into the grave) and it genuinely got some good emotion from me especially with the Vanessa and Wade Take On Me end bit.

All in all without rambling, it left me a lot more excited for Deadpool & Wolverine and excited to see where Wade goes next.

It feels like Deadpool & Wolverine is going to be giant. But the R-Rating seemingly takes a lot of money away.

Will it be the #1 movie of the year?

The hype is so big I think it’s a possibility.

But the R-Rating and the fact that the country seems to be moving backward (Roe and book banning) are issues too.

Deadpool & Deadpool 2 are both in the Top 4 of Rated R movie releases. But are both $200m less than a billion box office-wise.

Will D&W hit a billion?

For me I genuinely think that some guardians continuation will be announced either (less likely) a vol 4 or (more likely) two separate shows for Star lord and rocket. It’s the most natural thing to do considering vol 3’s massive success. Anyways what are your theories?

Like I understand if it’d maybe different if he had all the Infinity Stones but I’m just curious, would it have worked?

I haven't been interested or watched anything seriously since Endgame> I've watched Black Widow, ShangChi, NoWay-Home, MOM, Wanda Vision, Falcon Winter Solider, Loki, What If, MoonKnight, Hawkeye, and Ms.Marvel. Is there anything else I should watch in Phase 4 and on?

With CinemaCon out of the way and the exciting footage Marvel Studios revealed from DP3 and Cap 4, we are now officially in the final stride towards SDCC (July 25th-28th) and D23 (August 9th-11th) where the studio will hopefully unveil the new and updated slates of Phases 5 and 6 after all the delays an structural changed at the company and in Hollywood as a whole, which have taken place since their last SDCC/D23 appearances in 2022.

So, let's take a look at what Marvel Studios currently has in development and when it's supposed or expected to come out:

Deadpool and Wolverine

• In Post-Production
• Releases on July 26th 2024

Agatha

• In Post-Production
• Releases in September 2024 and will run weekly till Halloween

Eyes of Wakanda, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man & What if...? Season 3

• Head of Marvel TV, Animation and Streaming Brad Winderbaum revealed that both of these shows will be released in 2024 during the What if...? Season 2 premiere back in December. Exact dates haven't been given, although YFNSM had been slated for November 2024 in a copyright filing made by Marvel Studios last September. Rumours suggest that YNSFM has been pushed to next year, possibly to make way for What if...? Season 3, which has already received some marketing. On top of that, the director of the series revealed that at some point, What if...? Season 3 was supposed to release in late 2024, although he is not sure if that's still the case with all the date reshuffling at Marvel Studios. All 3 shows have been in development since 2021/2022, so they will most definitely all be out by 2025 at most.
• I personally believe we will see Eyes of Wakanda in Summer 2024 (it's only 4 episodes, so all eps will drop at once), What if...? Season 3 in the Holiday Season of 2024 and YFNSM in Summer 2025

Daredevil: Born Again Season 1

• In Post-Production
• According to a copyright filling, it is slated for a January 2025 release date.

Captain America: Brave New World

• In Post-Production
• Heavy reshoots to start in late May in Atlanta which will reportedly last until August (according to DanielRPK)
• Releases on February 14th 2025

Thunderbolts

• Filming in Atlanta
• Releases on May 2nd 2025

Fantastic Four

• In Pre-Production. Currently undergoing final touches on the script + casting
• Starts filming in August 2024 in the UK
• Releases on July 25th 2025

Ironheart

• In Post-Production
• Has been filmed in its entirety since November 2022, rumoured to undergo some reshoots during 2024
• According to a copyright filling, it releases in September 2025

Marvel Zombies

• Has been in development since 2021
• Will most likely release in Halloween 2025 since Halloween 2024 will be occupied by Agatha

Spider-Man 4

• In Pre-Production. Script has been in the works for over a year now and is currently being finalised. Studios are supposedly currently looking for a director with a shortlist already having been created.
• Sony reportedly (according to DanielRPK and CWGST) wants the movie to release in 2025, which is why they booked the June 27th date last year, while Marvel Studios wants them to take their time and release it in 2026. Filming is reportedly (according to Jeff Sneider) starting this Fall, so Sony is probably getting their way.
• The movie will likely take Blade's spot and release in November 7th 2025 in order to not compete with Avatar 3 in December.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2

• In Pre-Production. Script outlines for all 18 episodes (9 for S1 + 9 for S2) had been created by the previous showrunners, but it's unclear whether they will still be used or if Dario Scardapane will make a completely different Season 2 than what was being planned; or if it will be something in-between. The previous showrunners will however remain as exec producers for both seasons, not just season 1 which they had heavily worked on already.
• Filming reportedly starts in November 2024 in NYC
• Original reports from before the overhaul wanted Marvel Studios to release Seasons 1 and 2 with a 9-12 month gap, so a December 2025 release date with a weekly release that will lead the show well into 2026 is very possible.

Blade

• In Pre-Production
• After multiple delays and at least half a dozen different writers having worked on the project since its announcement in 2019, it seems the current writer-director duo are working on something which Marvel Studios and Mahershala Ali are liking, since the movie is still slated to start filming in late 2024 in the UK. Rumours and fan speculation of the film's delay to 2026 had been going on long before word got around that SM4 might steal its place, in order to give the filmmakers enough time to get it right this time.
• Will most likely release on February 13th 2026

Wonder Man

• In Post-Production
• This show is very weird since it wasn't officially announced in any convention, but only through the trades. However, Marvel Studios execs (Brad Winderbaum and Stephen Broussard) have talked about it and we have seen behind the scenes photos. The show filmed alongside Born Again last year before the strikes started and then again completed filming during the first quarter of this year.
• That said, it doesn't seem like it will be released before Spring/Summer 2026
• Much like Ironheart coming out 3 whole years after it wrapped filming, Wonder Man is a result of Marvel Studios slowing down and spreading out their Disney+ releases, according to Brad Winderbaum

Armor Wars

• In Pre-Production ^((Hell))
• According to Production Weekly, it's supposed to start filming in early 2025
• Will either release on May 1st or July 24th 2026, depending on if they want to give the premium May slot to this movie or Shang-Chi 2

Shang-Chi 2

• In Pre-Production. Destin Daniel Cretton dropped out of Avengers 5 to work on Wonder Man (which is now in post-production) and Shang-Chi 2.
• Filming reportedly starts in March 2025 (according to Production Weekly)
• Will either release on May 1st or July 24th 2026, depending on if they want to give the premium May slot to this movie or Armor Wars

Vision Quest

• In Pre-Production
• Filming reportedly starts in Late 2024 (according to Production Weekly)
• Will most likely release in Summer/Fall 2026, once again 2 whole years after filming

Young Avengers

• REPORTEDLY in Pre-Production
• Filming reportedly starts in 2025 (according to Production Weekly) with a 2026 release date (according to CWGST)
• Will most likely release on November 6th 2026

X-Men '97 Season 2

• In Production. Writing started in July 23rd and we can assume that all scripts had been turned in before Beau DeMayo's firing, so the second season most likely in the start of production at this moment or at least near the end of pre-production.
• Will most likely release by Late 2026 and bleed into Early 2027

Dr. Strange 3

• REPORTEDLY in Early Development
• While no filming date has been reported by anybody, it's been rumoured for more than 1 year now that Marvel Studios has wanted to fast-track this movie and have it come out before Avengers 5 and 6 (even though it was originally not supposed back when they announced the 2 Avengers movies in SDCC 2022). The movie will reportedly adapt Time Runs Out and the Black Priests story and lead directly into Avengers 5.
• Possible filming start in late 2026 and release on February 12th or 19th 2027

Avengers 5

• In Pre-Production
• While filming for both Avengers movies back-to-back had been set to start in late 2024, this seems like an unattainable dream considering there are no finished scripts, no director, no casting for the main villain (who will likely be shafted for a new main villain... who has also not been cast) etc. Plus, Spider-Man 4, Armor Wars, Shang-Chi 2, Young Avengers and Dr. Strange 3 reportedly NEED to come out before Avengers 5 in order to wrap up the other ongoing plot threads and lead into the story of Avengers 5.
• Indeed, new reports from DanielRPK reveal that it has now been slated to start filming in late 2025.
• Most likely release dates: April 30th or May 7th 2027

Eternals Animated Series Continuation

• REPORTEDLY in Early Development
• While Eternals 2 was reportedly given the red light (along with potential sequels for Ant-Man and Captain Marvel), their story is rumoured (by MTTSH) to continue elsewhere as their sequel was reportedly turned into another project. A synopsis for an animated Disney+ series revealed last Christmas by DanielRPK which seems to be about the Eternals, indicates the continuation to their story could be in the form of an animated series.
• This is said synopsis: "A clandestine group of ancient cosmic beings living undercover on Earth are trying to protect the world without being discovered by humans. They find themselves entangled in a cosmic battle that could reshape the fate of the universe." The casting call where this synopsis originates from also mentions a diverse group of leads and a big anime influence.
• Will likely release in the Summer of 2027

X-Men

• In Pre-Production
• The MCU X-Men movie officially entered the very first stages of pre-production in October 2023, mere days after the end of the writers' strike, when Marvel Studios started accepting pitches for an MCU X-Men film. Reports then came from TheCosmicCircus that Marvel Studios now wants this X-Men film to release before Secret Wars in order to include them in what might be Marvel's biggest cinematic crossover event in history. A very recent report from Production Weekly seems to confirm this, since the word is that the film is currently scheduled to start shooting in Late 2025.
• Most likely release date is July 23rd 2027

Moon Knight Season 2

• REPORTEDLY in Early Development
• Second seasons for Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, She-Hulk and Moon Knight have been rumoured since 2022, but Tatiana Maslany recently revealed that She-Hulk S2 has received the red light from Disney due to the very high budget of the first season, while Iman Vellani revealed that Ms. Marvel S2 heavily depended on the numbers of The Marvels because of the low viewership of the first season. So it seems both of those shows are out for now. Hawkeye S2 with Kate Bishop is still possible, although it will probably happen after Secret Wars, but Moon Knight S2 has been constantly coming up in the rumour mill as something that is still being worked on. TheCosmicCircus actually confirmed that it is being planned to come out during the Multiverse Saga and set up Midnight Suns.
• Will likely be released in Summer/Fall 2027

Midnight Suns

• REPORTEDLY In Early Development
• It's reportedly been in the "early talks" stages since 2022 (according to MTTSH), but a couple of months ago, it was reported by DanielRPK that it's officially moving forward with Stephen Broussard (exec of Werewolf by Night and others) overseeing it and Michael Giacchino being eyed to direct. I am guessing the cast of Werewolf by Night (WbN, Elsa, Man-Thing), Moon Knight (MK, Layla) and Blade (Blade and maybe Black Knight) will star as the titular group. TheCosmicCircus also said that Marvel Studios wants to release this during the Multiverse Saga in order to wrap up the "supernatural" arc of this saga before Secret Wars.
• Will likely be released on November 5th 2027

What if...? Season 4

• There are conflicting reports regarding What if...? with CWGST saying it will end with Season 3, while DanielRPK is saying there will be a 4th and final season where they will explore some ideas that they didn't have the time to do in Season 3.
• IF it happens, it will likely release in the Holiday Season of 2027

Scarlet Witch

• REPORTEDLY In Early Development
• A Scarlet Witch movie has been rumoured as a long as a Children's Crusade adaptation has been. Both projects were mentioned as being in the "early talks" stages back in 2022 by MTTSH and since then CWGST, Charles Murphy and TheCosmicCircus have confirmed that, with CWGST explicitly stating that Marvel Studios is looking to release it either right before or right after Secret Wars (as a prelude or prologue). I believe it will be a prelude and will be the finale of the story arc that started in WandaVision and started this whole Saga in the first place.
• Will most likely be released on February 18th 2028

Avengers 6

• In Pre-Production
• Will most likely film back-to-back with Avengers 5, so it will start in mid 2026, right after Avengers 5 wraps
• Will most likely be released on April 28th or May 5th 2028, also coinciding with the week of the MCU's 20th birthday

Thor 5 and Black Panther 3 are also reportedly in the "early talks" stages according to DanielRPK and TheCosmicCircus, but they will most likely happen after the Multiverse Saga along with other projects reportedly in the "early talks" stages like series centering around Nova, MI13, Agents of Atlas, Daughters of Liberty, Punisher, Iron Fist and White Tiger, IF they ever come to fruition.

​

This is the CosmicCircus' article I keep mentioning in this post where extremely reliable insider/reporter Alex Perez breaks down what we should expect from the remainder of the Multiverse Saga in terms of projects, arcs and stories.

As more and more reports come out from reliable sources, the pieces are fitting together and it becomes more and more certain that these are the projects Marvel Studios will release in the next 4 years, on the road to Secret Wars.

It also seems the standard output they will settle on, in order to compromise between not rushing the Saga or erasing projects from its roadmap and a tighter quality control, will be 4 movies + 2-3 shows annually. Thankfully, the pipeline for the series has increased from 1-1.5 years from production start to release to an insane 2-3 years between production start to release which will help with spreading out releases and executing a tighter quality control, which is Disney's current plan according to Brad Winderbaum, as mentioned earlier.

Projects that have been canned seem to be Eternals 2, Ant-Man 4, Captain Marvel 3, Ms. Marvel Season 2, She-Hulk Season 2 as well as a long-rumoured Wiccan series which would have been the next WandaVision spin-off between VisionQuest and Young Avengers. My guess is that its story has been merged with VisionQuest and Young Avengers in order to not spread Jac Schaeffer thin and reduce "unnecessary" and "risky" projects.

What do you guys think?

Everyone here saying “reduced to atoms, they still exist just in a different form” should hit the science book once more.

If they were reduced to atoms, by definition they don’t exist anymore.

By suggesting they still exist, you’re also suggesting implicitly that atoms can be crafted into stones, which would mean an infinite amount of stones can be crafted (as an infinite amount of atoms exist), so there is no particular need for the stones to be protected as The Ancient One said.

EVEN if you meant to say that those atoms are somehow “special”, then you’d be suggesting those atoms are actually unknown elements in the periodic table. And even if that was cannon, you would STILL be able to synthesize them by moving neutrons/protons around, which Tony already did when synthesizing Paladium to power his suit without the toxic side-effect, so it’s possible.

Therefore the only conclusion is they don’t exist in the main universe anymore. “Reduced to atoms” means “destroyed”; and there is no known artifact to create stones out of atoms.

I hope everyone has been enjoying X-Men 97! It has got me thinking about other series/portrayals of the X-Men characters/stories and this definitely is up there for one of my favorites. I just rewatched Wolverine and the X-Men as well and I love that characterization too (although Cyclops is kind of really boring in that). Live action X-Men have always been solid/enjoyable viewings but this series has some lines and action that I absolutely adore. Magneto’s lines especially in X-Men 97 have been some of the most thought provoking and deep lines I have seen his character exude yet. In Episode 5 of ‘97, when he says “Save as many as you can, we will not live our days wondering if we could have saved more”… it absolutely gave me chills on my first viewing. What is everyone’s individual thoughts on top characterizations over the numerous shows and series we have been given?

Whilst some of the phase one tie in games were fun, the MCU could have had some really cool games. I would have loved it if game writers/developers had worked with MCU writers to fill in the gaps we don't see.

My ideas; What else did Cap get up to during WW2

Thor's warrior history

A version of Agents of SHIELD as a black widow/Hawkeye prequel

Can we all unanimously agree that the single most, absolutely best thing to come out of phase 4 was Wong?

Dude was all over the universe. Such a lovable dork and a badass in combat as well.

If anything I'd rather watch a show where he and Strange solve mystical crimes across different dimensions like Sherlock(wink, wink) and Watson.

Benedict Wong has turned into a favorite of mine and I'm considering to check out more of his filmography.

Thanos was made up of organic matter, Ironman should have thought about using sulphuric acid. In endgame he didn't have any stones, he was just very strong and smart alien made up of flesh(basically carbon), with nanotech iron man could have built sulphuric acid tanks in his suit and give Thanos a good bath 🚿, do you think it would effective?

One thing I love about X-men'97 is the fact that the intro always changes slightly depending on who is actually actively on the team right now.

Episode 1 added Morph and Bishop.

Episode 2 added Magneto but removed Professor X. (See edit)

Episode 3 removed Storm.

Episode 4 removed Bishop again.

However, the Episode 6 intro will presumably remove Gambit and Magneto.

Meaning, if you've been keeping track, that's actually one less team member than the intro of the original series had. That and two of the original members are gone while the only new addition left is Morph.

Edit: Formatting

Edit 2: As someone in the comments just told me Professor X also hasn't had his name in the opening since episode 1, so we are actually down two in comparison to the original.

I used to actively check MCU Countdown .com Site which I found on the sidebar of r/marvelstudios created by u/boxaq - Thank You For the Amazing Site - But for some reason, it shows Https error.

Did some searching on google & reddit and found this site, for Marvel: https://moviescountdown.com/marvel

Marvel Upcoming Movies

@thealgothrim

I think we might see a Fastball Special.

That would be cool. Not Hugh's first because they did one in X2/3, but it would be cool to see him properly costumed up and yeeted.
