A Detailed Stare at Each and every Upcoming MCU Movie and TV Sequence
IF YOU’RE A fan of the Shock Cinematic Universe—in case you bear caught around the final solution to this level—it is dazzling to imagine one thing: you practically absolutely want extra. After The Infinity Saga—the necessary 22 motion pictures in the franchise—came to a conclusion in Avengers: Endgame, the next expertise of Shock storytelling took a tiny lengthen after the starting up of Spider-Man: A long way From Home on sage of the whole Covid-19 thing. But Shock Studios obtained things attend now heading in the staunch route in 2021, persevering with its tempo until things came to a slowdown in 2024, when handiest one movie used to be released. That tempo would maybe now no longer last for long, despite the indisputable fact that.
The hot expertise of the Shock Cinematic Universe is ceaselessly called “Section 5,” and while the seeds of the overarching story are light being slowly planted and plotted, it is obvious that the multiverse is taking part in a gargantuan portion of things, and it is moreover obvious that the Disney+ sequence shall be 100% very crucial to the manner ahead for the franchise. After seeing how straight WandaVision led into Multiverse of Madness, how Loki led into Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and how clearly Ms. Shock will lead into The Marvels, it is certain that Shock’s tv arm is acceptable as very crucial as its movie arm.
We moreover know that Shock Studios, and its fearless leader and President Kevin Feige, are extraordinarily meticulous. There are the motion pictures and displays all and sundry is aware of about, which bear been publicly announced, and then there are the motion pictures and displays they’re working on, that will exist in the shadows and rumors handiest. One example: all and sundry is aware of the X-Males are coming to the MCU in the end. How, is any person’s guess. But now no longer a single mutant-centered mission has yet been announced.
Anyway, that’s passable hypothesis. Here’s the whole list of upcoming Shock Cinematic Universe motion pictures and TV displays—that all and sundry is aware of of.

Upcoming Shock Cinematic Universe Motion pictures
Captain The usa: Doughty Unique World (February 14, 2025)
One other movie all and sundry is aware of is in the works will follow Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as the original Captain The usa. The movie shall be directed by Julius Onah (The Cloverfield Paradox, Luce), and can impress the return of Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader (somebody we bear now no longer seen since 2008’s The Extra special Hulk) as well to the debut of Harrison Ford as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, taking on for the leisurely William Damage. And he’ll change into the Crimson Hulk!
Possibly this can moreover moreover be a suite for characters care for Val and Walker to intention sooner than they change into portion of the Thunderbolts? We know we are going to be seeing Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) returning, amongst others. A trailer lately dropped, and it looks care for it’ll take a lot of the spirited political/conspiracy thriller vitality of motion pictures care for The Winter Soldier and Civil Battle.
Thunderbolts (July 25, 2025)
We finally obtained the knowledgeable announcement for the Thunderbolts movie at SDCC 2022, and boy are we livid. Doubtless in line with Kurt Busiek’s humorous trot of the ’90s, the movie used to be beforehand reported to be in the works by Diversity, with director Jake Schreier—who’s performed some spirited work on every TV and in movie, most lately on Netflix’s vibrant Pork—on board. And, because it looks, Thunderbolts shall be a tubby Pork reunion: the showrunner, Lee Sung Jin, moreover took abet an eye on of the script.
This mission appropriate makes sense; Thunderbolts is de facto Shock’s altered of the Suicide Squad; villains who pose as heroes or construct the model of morally gray missions that heroes don’t are looking out to. We know from her two appearances up to now that Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is inserting collectively a rugged crew that will salvage into that gray dwelling. At D23, we realized that the crew will encompass John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Crimson Guardian (David Harbour), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). All that being acknowledged, we construct light review Zemo (Daniel Brühl) to be a portion of the movie in some ability—perchance as the villain?— with Abomination (Tim Roth) potentially in the mix as well. Nothing’s off limits right here.
We’re ready on a trailer soon.
The Fantastic Four (July 25, 2025)
WandaVision‘s Matt Shakman shall be on the helm for The Fantastic Four, which is in a suite to megastar Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the titular quadruple. And the tension’s on for Shock to nail it.
Pascal shared an change to his Instagram, revealing that the manufacturing used to be about to be underway.
They’re going to be joined in the forged by a call of stalwart actors, including Ralph Ineson as Galactus, alongside side the likes of Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich in undisclosed roles.
The movie used to be beforehand direct for a February 2025 start date, and now will as an alternative tumble on the Would maybe also 2025 date that used to be beforehand earmarked for The Kang Dynasty. Does that mean Fantastic Four will now lift extra ‘staple of the summer season’ tension? The April/Would maybe also start is, historically, Shock’s biggest tag. So we are going to must abet and watch.
Blade (November 7, 2025)
Shock’s gargantuan announcement on the close of San Diego Comedian Con 2019 used to be that—finally—Blade, the Vampire hunter, may perchance well be becoming a member of the MCU. And he may perchance well be conducted by two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. A in fact very gargantuan deal, and in fact implausible casting.
Now, the movie is likely light a systems away—but it is coming. Shock beforehand employed Watchmen creator Stacy Osei-Kuffour to write the script, and Bassam Tariq to reveal, but every finally fell off. The next director on board used to be Yann Demange, who has moreover since fallen off. The script has long previous via heaps of turmoil already, which we would now no longer salvage into too a lot right here, however the last we heard is that Logan‘s Michael Inexperienced (who used to be on the attend of last yr’s implausible Blue Understand Samurai on Netflix) is working on it, and it can be an R-rated flick—which is required. Things are having a watch cautiously optimistic. Make we salvage this movie made?
The cast has long previous via some excessive turmoil as well, and while some varied names bear been linked, the perfect one all and sundry is aware of for certain to light be alive to alongside Ali is MaXXXine megastar (and original dread legend) Mia Goth—whose turns in Ti West’s X and Pearl and Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool gave the affect to before all the pieces land her what’s likely a villain feature right here.
Avengers 5 (Would maybe also 1, 2026)
For a while, this used to be called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. But then Jonathan Majors obtained serious about some very necessary staunch-existence distress, and used to be fired from the MCU. Plans alternate, they generally appear to bear modified right here.
We do no longer know a ton, but reports bear lately intention up that Joe and Anthony Russo, who had been on the attend of the camera for Avengers: Infinity Battle and Avengers: Endgame may perchance well be returning for every Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. We will watch!
Avengers: Secret Wars (Would maybe also 7, 2027)
The 2nd portion of Shock’s next enormous, two-portion Avengers extravaganza is Avengers: Secret Wars, which is the title of two critical humorous runs. One, from the ’80s, used to be written by historical Shock EIC Jim Shooter and used to be largely a genius ploy to promote toys. The more than a number of, written in 2016 by creator Jonathan Hickman, is a multiversal narrative that heavily aspects Fantastic Four characters care for Reed Richards and Doctor Doom—it is crucial that Mr. Feige and firm nail that F4 casting. Here’s to hoping.
This movie is now scheduled, as you may perchance moreover watch, the final intention out in Would maybe also 2027. Will we even be alive in 2027? Is there one thing else we are going to predict about one thing else? Will we ever watch the X-Males? Who—and I will have the ability to not reiterate this passable—the hell is aware of.
Armor Wars (2024? 2025?)
The MCU mission centered on Jim Rhodes (Don Cheadle) used to be lately announced to be switching from a Disney+ sequence to a feature movie—but we light do no longer know when it is popping out. A guess? Doubtless some time after Secret Invasion and sooner than the next two-portion Avengers saga; Secret Invasion looks to be constructing an spoiled authorities bureaucracy that the diagram for Armor Wars—Stark Tech falling into the unpleasant fingers—can feed off of.
Upcoming Shock Cinematic Universe TV Sequence
Agatha All Alongside (September 2024)
Agatha All Alongside s is shaping up to be a WandaVision sequel of kinds in many systems. Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness shall be on the center of all the pieces, while original cast individuals will embody Aubrey Plaza and Heartstopper‘s Joe Locke. Residents of WandaVision‘s Westview, including That ’70s/’90s Cloak megastar Debra Jo Rupp, will return, and the story looks campy, uncommon, and relaxing.
Ironheart (2025? TBA)
The Ironheart Disney+ sequence will adapt a relaxing Shock Comics storyline of the previous years, which sees Riri Williams, a tech genius from Chicago, taking on Iron Man’s mantle. Dominique Thorne, who is 2/2 in mighty motion pictures up to now in her career (With Judas and the Sunless Messiah and If Beale Avenue Would maybe also Talk on her resume), will play Riri. We would endeavor to guess that varied used Iron Man mates—James Rhodes? Justin Hammer?—may perchance well moreover present up.
Chinaka Hodge—a poet and educator who has written on Snowpiercer—will be the present’s head creator. The present finished filming a while prior to now, so we may perchance well moreover conceivably uncover a number of start date at any time.
Daredevil: Born Again (2025)
Shock made quite loads of followers very satisfied after they announced at SDCC 2022 that the Daredevil hero and villain crew of Charlie Cox (as Matt Murdock/Daredevil) and Vincent D’Onofrio (as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin) may perchance well be returning for a brand original sequence titled Daredevil: Born Again, likely in line with the humorous arc of the identical title. They made those same followers a lot extra livid after they announced that it can be 18 episodes long; it makes sense that Shock is experimenting with format now a number of years into the Disney+ expertise.
One scenario, despite the indisputable fact that—Shock totally scrapped the necessary few episodes they produced, firing the writing and directing groups and starting up over. Clearly, one thing wasn’t working. A original crew is now in place, they generally’re taking things from there.
We will watch how it’ll pay off.
Shock-Man (TBD)
All all and sundry is aware of about Shock’s upcoming Shock-Man sequence is that the titular personality—aka Simon Williams, an actor—shall be conducted by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who you bear likely seen in The Matrix Resurrections, Aquaman, Candyman, or his Emmy-winning feature in HBO’s Watchmen. Shock-Man is a personality who in the Shock Comics is strongly intertwined with every Wanda Maximoff and Vision, so there is a realistic likelihood that we may perchance well moreover watch Elizabeth Olsen and/or Paul Bettany on this sequence. Ben Kinglsey will moreover be returning as Trevor Slattery (from Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi) and James Ponsoldt (The Quit of the Tour, Timorous) shall be directing.
Vision Quest (TBD)
Speaking of Paul Bettany, he’ll be getting his bear WandaVision sequel sequence, titled Vision Quest. Primarily based totally on how WandaVision concluded, we are going to pick a leap and assume that this sequence will on the least quite heart on White Vision out on the planet looking out to to find his recollections and change into the hero he as soon as used to be (or, you know, trot dwell in some robot peace somewhere. Or now no longer it is a lot deserved).
Wakanda Sequence (TBD)
We do no longer know a ton about this one appropriate yet. But this can moreover intention from Ryan Coogler, Danai Guria (who performs Okoye) shall be alive to, and it will match in neatly alongside side his two Sunless Panther motion pictures, for certain.
