The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly expanding its plans for the future, introducing us to a slew of new projects year after year. It can be difficult to keep track of all the upcoming Marvel movies that are in the pipeline, but with so much hype surrounding them it’s no wonder they’ve become some of the most anticipated films in recent memory.

In this article, we have provided a comprehensive overview of Marvel Studios’ upcoming film schedule for the next few years. Listed here are all of the titles that have been officially announced as part of Phases 5 and 6, as well as any superhero movies currently in the works but yet to be given an official release date. Therefore, you can now look forward to a plethora of exciting new additions to Marvel’s cinematic universe over the coming years!

MARVEL PHASE 5

Let’s take a closer look at the Marvel Phase 5 movies. We can examine what each of these films offer in terms of characters, storylines, and overall entertainment value. It is certain that these movies will provide us with some of the most thrilling action sequences ever seen on screen as well as unforgettable characters and intense plotlines that will keep us captivated throughout their run.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 

However, the road to creating Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 has been anything but straightforward. Despite initially being touted as one of the first films in Marvel’s Phase 4 lineup, production was abruptly halted when director James Gunn was fired from the project due to controversial tweets he had written years prior. This resulted in the film’s future being thrown into doubt and its release date becoming uncertain for a time.

Suddenly, pandemonium erupted when it was announced that James Gunn had been stripped of his directing job due to some offensive Tweets he made almost ten years ago. This news came as a shock to many people, who were just moments earlier celebrating the success of the franchise and looking forward to its future under Gunn’s direction.

Five years after his ousting, Gunn has been welcomed back with open arms and is now completing what he began: the final installment of his Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy. This will likely be Gunn’s swan song in terms of Marvel movies since he is currently occupied with a new role as co-CEO of DC Studios. Consequently, this film marks an end to Gunn’s tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will surely be remembered as one of its most memorable efforts.

James Gunn has always been adamant that the upcoming sequel in the Guardians franchise will be the final chapter for this particular ensemble of heroes – Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Groot (portrayed by Vin Diesel), Nebula (played by Karen Gillan) and Mantis (performed by Pom Klementieff). This closure to their story promises to bring a satisfying conclusion to all their remarkable adventures.

It is difficult to anticipate exactly how the trilogy will be concluded, but that would be an enormous understatement to describe our level of exhilaration. We are filled with eager anticipation and enthusiasm for the finale of this series!

In December 2022, the highly anticipated first trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was finally released to an emotional public. Fans everywhere have been eagerly awaiting this movie for years, and now they know that it will be hitting theaters exactly six years to the day since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 premiered – on May 5th, 2023.

THE MARVELS 

It was no surprise that with the success of Captain Marvel, which became Marvel Studios’ first billion dollar hit in 2019, a sequel would eventually join its lineup. However, unlike other franchises that rush to capitalize on their box office successes, Marvel took its time to develop the second installment and make sure it lived up to expectations. Just like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the company was determined not to sacrifice quality for expediency.

It was expected that Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers would be returning as the lead in one of the much-anticipated Phase 4 movies. But, come Phase 5, fans can look forward to an even more amazing storyline involving her character, where she will team up with other superheroes for a thrilling adventure.

After some adjustments to its timeline, it has been officially announced that The Marvels will be the third installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to arrive in theaters in 2023. Taking the director’s chair for this eagerly anticipated project is Nia DaCosta, who recently garnered praise for her impressive work on the Candyman sequel.

Teyonah Parris will reprise her role as Monica Rambeau, a character she first introduced in the Disney+ series WandaVision. She will be accompanied by Iman Vellani, who has been cast to star in the upcoming Disney+ adaptation of Ms. Marvel.

This intriguing plot has already piqued people’s interest and generated much anticipation for the upcoming movie.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER

A new Captain America has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and very soon he will star in his own film. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) received Steve Rogers’ (Chris Evans) star-spangled shield at the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, but it wasn’t until after the events shown in the Disney+ series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier that Sam was able to accept assuming the mantle. In Captain America: New World Order, he will be seen flying into theaters while donning a brand-new Vibranium outfit that still lets him to fly.

Malcolm Spellman, the acclaimed Head Writer on The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, has officially been hired to write the script for Captain America: New World Order. Furthermore, in August 2021 it was confirmed that actor Anthony Mackie had finalized his deal to star in this exciting new project.

Unfortunately, we are still in the dark as to what the movie will actually entail; its plot or underlying theme remains a mystery. Nonetheless, it has been confirmed that the film will be directed by Julius Onah and is scheduled to release in theaters in May of 2024.

The upcoming film is assembling an extraordinary cast, with Anthony Mackie playing a major role in the highly-anticipated blockbuster. He will be joined by Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, and the iconic Harrison Ford who will be portraying Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross following William Hurt’s departure. This remarkable ensemble is sure to make the movie even more spectacular.

THUNDERBOLTS 

For over ten years, Marvel Cinematic Universe films have predominantly featured heroes as the main characters; however, in the not too distant future, they are looking to break this trend with a Thunderbolts movie. This will be a refreshing and exciting change of pace that will add an interesting dynamic to their cinematic universe.

In June 2022, reports surfaced that a new project was underway and in the process of being developed. Two key personnel had already been hired to assist with the endeavor; Eric Pearson, who wrote the scripts for Black Widow and Thor: Ragnarok, was assigned to write the script while Jake Schreier – previously of Robot & Frank fame – assumed the director’s chair. This news was met with anticipation from fans eagerly awaiting to find out what this intriguing collaboration would yield.

At the D23 Expo 2022, the official roster for the upcoming superhero team-up movie Thunderbolts was confirmed. This highly anticipated lineup will include Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) as a powerful and formidable female antagonist, Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), reprising his role from previous Marvel movies, and John Walker/U.S., who is an all-American super soldier with immense strength and fighting prowess. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these characters will come together in this action-packed blockbuster!

Agent Wyatt Russell portrays Antonia Dreykov, also known as the Taskmaster. Olga Kurylenko brings to life Alexei Shostakov, a.k.a Red Guardian.
