The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an entire year out of Marvel’s release schedule. It has caused a few production delays, but the actual delay in the release schedule is much bigger. All of a sudden, Marvel has 5 properties that have already been shot, three that are currently under production, and 5 that will start filming by Q1 2021.
What I mean by this is that they’d have a lot of content in hand, but slower means to push it out. And because Phase 5 is supposed to have even more projects than Phase 4, Marvel might have to make up for the 1 year they lost due to COVID-19. And, they’d do that by releasing at least 5 MCU movies in 2023.
Marvel Studios has announced their full slate including release dates for all of their upcoming films through 2024. A whopping five MCU movies will be hitting screens in 2023 alone. Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 have been announced, but that leaves three guesses to rub your hands together, Mr. Miyagi style, in anticipation. What are they going to be? Here is the full Marvel Studios slate that has been revealed so far.
Eternals - November 5, 2021
The Eternals are a fictional race of humanity appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are described as an offshoot of the evolutionary process that created sentient life on Earth. The original instigators of this process, the alien Celestials, intended the Eternals to be the defenders of Earth, which leads to the inevitability of war against their destructive counterparts, the Deviants. The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and made their first appearance in The Eternals#1 (July 1976).
Eternals stars an ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. The upcoming film was directed by Chloé Zhao, who also wrote the screenplay along with Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo, and Kaz Firpo.
Spider-Man: No Way Home - December 17, 2021
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
The Spider-Man: No Way Home cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Favreau, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Jamie Foxx, J.B. Smoove, Hannibal Buress, Jacob Batalon, and Marisa Tomei. Jon Watts helms with Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers sharing writing duties.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - March 25, 2022
After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange's plan and also causing him to unleash an unspeakable evil.
The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Xochitl Gomez. The film is directed by Sam Raimi from a script written by Jade Bartlett and Michael Waldron.
Thor: Love and Thunder - May 6, 2022
The film is a sequel to Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers: Endgame. Thor: Love and Thunder is the twenty-ninth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the sixth film of Phase Four.

The film is directed by Taika Waititi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.

While the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever plot is under wraps, the film serves as a sequel to Black Panther. It stars Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, and Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. The film is being directed by Ryan Coogler, who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Robert Cole.

In the film, she'll be joined by Teyonah Parris, who was first introduced as adult Monica Rambeau in Marvel Studios' WandaVision, along with Iman Vellani, who will appear as Ms. Marvel in the upcoming Disney+ series of the same name.
The cast will also include Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Park Seo-joon, and Jude Law as Yon-Rogg. The film is directed by Nia DaCosta from a screenplay by Megan McDonnell.
Ant-Man and The Wasp Quntumania - February 17, 2023
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a sequel to Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers: Endgame. It is the thirty-second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the ninth film of Phase Four. The film stars Paul Rudd as Scott Langand Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, alongside Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathryn Newton, and Jonathan Majors. The film is directed by Peyton Reed from a screenplay by Jeff Loveness.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 - May 5, 2023

We'll see Chris Pratt return as Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Vin Diesel as Groot and Pom Klementieff as Mantis.

How The Marvel Cinematic Universe Calendar Is Shaping Up For 2021 & Beyond Between Movies & Streaming Series – TCA
Reposted from Deadline
By Anthony D'Alessandro
February 24, 2021 12:07pm
It’s quite clear that we’ll get more Marvel series on Disney+ this year — potentially more than Star Wars series.
At the top of the first Disney/Marvel TCA session, President of Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige gave a brief rundown of the studio’s plans.
March 5 marks the end of Season 1 of WandaVision. Then on March 19, The Falcon and the Winter Solider is debuting. That will run six episodes, with a speculated season end date (if Disney doesn’t skip weeks) of April 23.
The next big event set to happen in the MCU after Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the feature release of Black Widow on May 7.
However, it’s not clear if all global markets will be open by then as Covid-19 quells and vaccinations swell. Disney will know in the next month whether it will move the Scarlett Johansson movie. It’s not just about New York and Los Angeles re-opening and the hope of capacity restrictions easing, but see that in the rest of the world as well. Rival distributors guess that the next date Black Widow would move to is July 9, where Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings is slotted. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has said the studio’s intention is to keep Black Widow as a theatrical release, and not moving it to a Disney+/theatrical day-and-date or strictly streaming release.
Feige mentioned nothing today about Black Widow going to the streaming service, nor did he talk about the Avengers femme superhero movie rescheduling its theatrical release date.
Also announced today: Disney+’s Thor spinoff Loki series will drop on June 11.
Disney+ @ TCA: Deadline’s Full Coverage
At the top of the TCA session, Feige updated the press corps with the following Disney+/Marvel series today:
“Soon after Loki, we’ll have our first animated serie, which is What If?, and I’m here on set where we are finishing up Ms. Marvel,” he said. “We’re also shooting Hawkeye currently, and in a few weeks we start She-Hulk, a week or so after that we start Moon Knight in addition to our features for the MCU thanks to Disney+.”
Not every Marvel/Disney+ series will get a Season 2 or 3. Some will, and Feige didn’t show his hand on which of those that would be. Sometimes a series will segue into a big-screen feature. A WandaVision Season 2 is not imminent, rather Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch storyline will head straight into the Sam Raimi-directed sequel Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (scheduled for March 25, 2022). Ditto for the Ms. Marvel series, which is planned to drop on Disney+ later this year; that series will bleed into Captain Marvel 2, (theatrical date Nov. 11, 2022).
Eternals will hit the big screen on November 5, and then Sony/Disney/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is scheduled to go on Dec. 17. And that’s your 2021 Marvel year.
Other 2022 Marvel theatrical releases include Thor: Love & Thunder on May 6 and Black Panther 2 on July 8. There’s also an MCU series Wakanda planned, as Deadline first reported.
“The fun of the MCU is obviously all the crossover we can do between series, between films,” Feige said, “so it will vary based on the story. Sometimes it will go into a Season 2, sometimes it will go into a feature and back into a series.”
He added: “Sometimes, and yet to be announced, we’re thinking of and planning second and third seasons for some of the upcoming series.”
As for that other Disney-owned franchise, all we know about Star Wars this year so far is that The Book of Boba Fett series is coming this fall to Disney+, and the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch drops on May 4 — Star Wars Day.
From CNET
While we're nearing the end of Disney Plus hit WandaVision, there are thankfully more Marvel shows on the horizon, with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier the next series to keep us glued to the streaming platform. After that, the ball keeps rolling with Loki, and Disney Plus has revealed its exact release date. Look forward to the god of mischief's adventures premiering June 11.
Below you'll find the current release slate for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 in film and television. These are the expected dates, but as with many Marvel projects, keep on your toes in case the pandemic nudges releases further down the line.
