Lots of Marvel movies are coming.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe took a break from theaters in 2020, but it’s coming back strong. Marvel Studios just released a sizzle reel showing off new titles and release dates for their slate of Phase 4 movies - starting from 2021 going all the way to 2023 and beyond. We also got to see first-look footage from Eternals, directed by Academy Award-winner Chloe Zhao. 

Watch the video below:

The trailer starts off nostalgically, with narration by Stan Lee as we watch footage from older Marvel movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Black Panther - culminating with an epic audience reaction to Avengers: Endgame on opening night. The message is clear: cinemas are pretty dang cool. After that, Marvel starts showing off their slate of Phase 4 films, and things get even more interesting. 

New titles for the Captain Marvel and Black Panther sequels were revealed: ‘The Marvels’ and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’. The Marvels’ new title likely refers to the fact that the film will feature Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) and WandaVision’s Monica Rambeau, who hasn’t settled on a superhero name but did become Captain Marvel in the comics eventually. 

Black Panther’s new title seems to be a sweet reference to the late Chadwick Boseman’s King T’Challa, whose call to arms ‘Wakanda forever’ has become iconic. The Black Panther sequel will opt not to recast T’Challa, and instead focus on Wakanda and its people. We also got yet another tease of Marvel’s upcoming movie reboot of The Fantastic Four, but no release date on that one. It will likely launch in late 2023, or sometime in 2024. 

Here’s what Phase 4 of the MCU looks like with their release dates:
