Every upcoming Marvel movie and TV show coming to the MCU (2024)

Keeping track of every upcoming Marvel movie and TV show coming to the MCU is a full-time job. Marvel has at least six movies on the books and potentially 10 TV shows in the works. That doesn't even include "X-Men '97" or both of which have been big hits for Marvel this year.

Lucky for you, it actually is my full-time job to keep track of everything coming from the MCU, so I've got you covered. Below we'll get into every movie and TV show coming from Marvel that currently has a tentative release date. We'll also cover a few movies and TV shows that have been in the works but have murkier futures.

So ready to dive into the multiverse? Here's every upcoming Marvel movie and TV show coming to the MCU.

Upcoming Marvel movie release dates

'Deadpool & Wolverine' (out now)

Out now in theaters (Disney Plus date TBD)

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is officially here! The lone movie on Marvel's 2024, this movie is the third installment in Ryan Reynold's Deadpool franchise and the first to be in the MCU. A lot is riding on this movie — which also brings Hugh Jackman's Wolverine into the MCU —and some say the future of Marvel depends on it.

Our own Martin Shore saw the movie as soon as he could and ... well, he doesn't think it's going to save the MCU. That said, he doesn't think it buries the MCU either. In his review of "Deadpool & Wolverine," he praises it as an "action-packed, entertaining Marvel movie" that will be sure to have you laughing. That said, while Reynolds and Jackman are perfect together, the movie relies a bit too much on excessive cameos and uneven CGI. Still, he thinks it's worth your time to watch.

'Captain America: Brave New World' (Feb. 2025)

Release date: Feb. 14, 2025

"Captain America: Brave New World" will be the feature-length debut of Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as the new Captain America. And after seeing the first trailer, which dropped in July 2024, I'm excited for "Captain America: Brave New World." This gives off vibes of an espionage thriller a la "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which is still probably the best Marvel movie to date.

This latest installment in the Captain America franchise brings back some familiar faces — and a blast from the past. Danny Ramirez and Carl Lumbly both reprise their roles from "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," Joaquin Torres and Isaiah Bradley, respectively. Tim Blake Nelson returns to the MCU as Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader, who you may remember from 2008's "The Incredible Hulk."

We get some new faces too. Shira Haas makes her MCU debut as the superhero Sabra and Giancarlo Esposito will appear as the villain Sidewinder, leader of the Serpent Society. I'll be honest, Sidewinder arriving in the MCU was not on my Marvel bingo card.

The biggest familiar face though, and I mean that literally, is Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk. At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Ruffalo revealed that he will be returning to the MCU in this new Captain America film. That said, we don't see him in the trailer. Instead, we see Harrison Ford as President Thunderbolt Ross turning into the Red Hulk, which has me admittedly nervous.

'Thunderbolts' (May 2025)

Release date: May 2, 2025

Unlike with the next Captain America movie, we still haven't got a first look at "Thunderbolts." Calling this Marvel's version of DC's The Suicide Squad would be a bit reductive, but it wouldn't be wrong. The Thunderbolts are basically the anti-Avengers — a group of antiheroes doing questionable missions for questionable government officials.

The cast is composed of a deep roster of all the MCU B-list characters from recent movies and TV shows. Returning to the MCU is Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova; Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier; David Harbour as Red Guardian; Wyatt Russell as John Walker, aka U.S. Agent; Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster; and Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost."Top Gun: Maverick" star Lewis Pullman is rumored to join as The Sentry in the character's MCU debut. Julia Louis-Dreyfus as La Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine and Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross are also expected to reprise, but it's unclear what implications this has on the latter's "Captain America: Brave New World" appearance.

Pugh indicated in an interview that production has begun, which is good news — Disney just bumped "Thunderbolts" up the calendar to May 2, 2025, swapping it with "Fantastic Four," which now takes the previous July 2025 release date. The movie's trailer also leaked on Twitter (X) on August 13, 2023. Likely, this came from either SDCC or (most likely) D23, where the movie was one of several being shown off by Marvel to fans.

'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' (July 2025)

Release date: July 25, 2025

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will be our first step into a new universe in the MCU. I'm not just talking about the arrival of Marvel's First Family —though that's a big deal. No, I'm referring to the fact that this movie is set in a different universe than the mainline MCU story.

"First Steps," as many fans correctly guessed, is set in a New York City that is not our own. Instead, the Matt Shakman-directed film takes place in the 1960s in an alternate version of the American metropolis.

After a long period in development Hell, we now know a ton about this movie. Marvel announced the movie's cast will include Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.It will also star John Malkovich, Ralph Ineson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Natasha Lyonne.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel revealed that Galactus and Silver Surfer will both serve as villains —along with a potential Doctor Doom appearance. And in an Instagram post from star Pedro Pascal just before that, the movie's star showed that production is officially underway in London.

Hopefully, we at least get a first look at D23 in August 2024, but it might not be much more than what was shown at Comic-Con. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is slated to come out in theaters on July 25, 2025, instead of its original May 2, 2025 release date, after swapping spots in the calendar with "Thunderbolts."

'Blade' (Nov. 2025)

Release date: Nov. 7, 2025

"Blade" has had a rough path to joining the MCU. While the reveal of Mahershala Ali as the titular vampire hunter rocked Comic-Con 2019, things have not gone smoothly since. The movie has gone through at least five writers according to Variety, and was the only Marvel movie officially in production that did not make an appearance at SDCC this summer.

The latest reporting from Variety does give fans of the Daywalker some hope. While the movie still has no director and the screenplay is still in development, Disney has kept the Marvel movie slated for a November 7, 2025 release date.

'Avengers: Doomsday' (May 2026)

Release date: May 1, 2026

"Avengers: Kang Dynasty" is gone —a mere footnote in the MCU. That's because Marvel revealed at SDCC that the fifth Avengers movie is now titled "Avengers: Doomsday," and will bring back Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU as the iconic villain Doctor Doom.

He's not the only Marvel legend returning to the Marvel fold either. The movie is now confirmed to be directed by the Russo Brothers, who famously gave the MCU it's greatest success in "Avengers: Endgame."

Because this movie is now being completely redone from the ground up, we know very little else about it, other than it will have a direct impact on the subsequent "Avengers: Secret Wars," which will also feature RDJ and the Russos. However, my money is on us seeing Downey Jr. as Doom first in "The Fantastic Four," likely in a mid-credits stinger.

Avengers: Secret Wars (May 2027)

Release date: May 7, 2027

Marvel's "Avengers: Secret Wars" will bring an end to this era of the MCU. Not only, will this movie end Phase Six of the MCU but it is now more likely than ever that it will ultimately be used as a soft reset for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. The addition of Robert Downey, Jr. as Doctor Doom —potentially God Emperor Doom in this movie given the Marvel comics source material "Secret Wars" is pulling from — makes it so Marvel can completely reshape the entire MCU after this movie.

Upcoming Marvel TV show release dates

'X-Men '97' (Out now)

Stream now on Disney Plus

"X-Men '97" is a revival of the beloved "X-Men: The Animated Series," bringing back most of the original voice cast as well as a few big newcomers like Jennifer Hale as the voice of Jean Grey. And after watching the first two episodes, it's clear that this is Marvel's best TV show in years. Check out our review of the first two episodes and then go watch it for yourself.

'Agatha All Along' (Sept. 18)

Release date: September 18, 2024 on Disney Plus

"Agatha All Along" was maybe the name of this Disney Plus show all along. It was formerly "Agatha: House of Harkness," "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" and "Agatha Darkhold Diaries"but it sure seems like it'll be on Disney Plus by the end of 2024.

This "WandaVision" spin-off stars Kathryn Hahn reprising as the witch Agatha Harkness who was Wanda's nemesis back in Phase Four. Agatha is stuck in her mental prison in Westfield, New Jersey cosplaying as a detective until Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal — a witch in Harkness's coven — comes to break her out. Now, Agatha is teaming up with her old allies to "walk the Witch's Road" to regain her wicked powers. It looks like it could be both fun and scary, but I'm still waiting to see if it changes its name yet again.

Aside from Hahn and Plaza, "Agatha All Along" will star Patti LuPone, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili and Debra Jo Rupp.

'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' (Nov. 2)

Release date: TBA on Disney Plus

Formerly known as "Spider-Man: Freshman Year," "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is an animated show that, according to an interview with Marvel Studios's Winderbaum, takes place in an alternate timeline where Norman Osbourne was Peter Parker's mentor rather than Tony Stark. Norman Osbourne ... now why is that name familiar? Spoiler alert: We know why.

This animated Spider-Man show has a voice cast that includes Hudson Thames as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Eugene Byrd as Lonnie Lincoln, Grace Song as Nico Minoru, Hugh Dancy as Otto Octavius, Kari Wahlgren as May Parker, Zeno Robinson as Harry Osborn and Paul F. Tompkins as Bentley Whittman. It will also reprise Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, who is also appearing on another Marvel show further down this list.

Despite no official release date, all signs indicate this show will still debut sometime this year.

'Eyes of Wakanda' (TBD 2024)

Release date: TBD 2024 on Disney Plus

“Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story.”

That's the official description for "Eyes of Wakanda" according to Marvel (h/t Variety). This animated series was announced in late 2023 and is currently slated for some time in 2024, but unfortunately, we don't have more specifics than that. All we know is that it will be part of the MCU's Phase Five and produced by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's company Proximity Media. The latest reporting form Deadline does indicate that the show will still arrive sometime this year, despite the lack of a release date.

'Marvel Zombies' (TBD 2024)

Release date: TBD 2024 on Disney Plus

This show about the undead is still very much alive. A first look at the four-part miniseries was shown off to fans at D23 (h/t Collider) and showed off the heroes of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" fighting off a zombie hoard.

But Shang-Chi isn't the only hero to expect in "Marvel Zombies." You can also — reportedly — expect Ms. Marvel. In an interview withThe Direct, "Ms. Marvel" star Iman Vellani said she's been recording lines for Marvel Zombies and that her character is the center of the show. "Knowing Kamala [Ms. Marvel] is going to interact with some really cool people, even if it's just animation, is so special in a lot of ways."

A rumor from Marvel tipster CanWeGetToast (h/t Comic Book Movie) also says a new Fist of Khonshu will appear in "Marvel Zombies." Still, don't take this as confirmation that Oscar Isaac won't return to the MCU one day. There are many reasons Marvel could go in a different direction for this animated series, which is still tipped to debut later this year.

'What if...?' season 3 (TBD 2024)

Release date: TBD 2024 on Disney Plus

Surprise! Despite having no official release date and barely being on the radar, Marvel's "What if...?" season 3 is already being promoted as "coming soon." The animated anthology series already haspromotional imagesand even ateaser trailer, which are reportedly from an episode that was slated for season 2. That same second season wrapped up in December 2023, so it wouldn't be a surprise if season 3 put a cap on 2024 in a similar fashion.

So far, we can expect Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ant-Man, Sam Wilson as Captain America and more to appear in an episode of season 3. Marvel head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum has described season 3 as "the completion of a trilogy." He has also said "I think [it] is an extremely moving and fulfilling culmination for Uatu the Watcher" so expect the character voiced by Jeffrey Wright to return as well.

'Daredevil: Born Again' (March 2025)

Release date: March 2025 on Disney Plus

"Daredevil: Born Again" has had some bumps in the road to arriving on Disney Plus but we're now starting to enter the endgame. The show was shown off at SDCC and D23 and a lot was revealed, including a leaked trailer that has since been taken down.

Here's what we know so far. First, "Daredevil: Born Again" won't erase Netflix’s Daredevil. That's because (spoiler alert) "Echo" made Netflix's versions of Daredevil and The Punisher officially MCU canon and this show picks up where "Echo" left off.

Speaking of The Punisher, Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher, in "Daredevil: Born Again." He'll be joined by Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Wilson Bethel (Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) and Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Fisk). The trailer also showed off first looks at the crime fighting White Tiger and the serial killer villain Muse.

Marvel's Brad Winderbaum has said to expect "Daredevil: Born Again" in March 2025.

'Ironheart' (Sept. 2025)

Release date: Sept. 3, 2025 on Disney Plus

Ever since debuting in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," an Ironheart spin-off for Disney Plus has been in the works. It will star Dominique Thorne, reprising her role as Riri Williams — aka the titular Ironheart. Thorne has said we can set our expectations high in an interview with Deadline, saying "Get ready… it’ll be a ride."

Some fans have finally gotten to ride the ride that is "Ironheart." At D23 2024, executive producer Ryan Coogler, Thorne and others showed off a first look at the upcoming series (h/t Deadline). The show picks up after the events of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," with Williams now working with The Hood (Anthony Ramos) after being kicked out of MIT.

There are rumors that The Hood will actually turn into the MCU's first iteration of Ghost Rider. This would mirror a storyline in the current run of Marvel comics.

Aside from Thorne an Ramos, "Ironheart" stars Anji White, Manny Montana, Shakira Barrera, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Shea Couleé, Zoe Terakes, Paul Calderón and Cree Summer. It is also highly likely that Sacha Baron Cohen will make his MCU as the villain Mephisto, increasing the likelihood of a Ghost Rider tie-in.

A filing with the U.S. Copyright Office indicates that episode 1 of "Ironheart" is tentatively slated to drop on September 3, 2025.

Rumored MCU Projects

Marvel movies and TV shows without release dates

'Wonder Man'

Marvel's "Wonder Man" is set to star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman, HBO's Watchmen) as Simon Williams, whose run in the comics saw him first as a villain before he became a hero. He's worked for Baron Zemo (the father of the Zemo in the MCU), and he's also been an Avenger, so there are plenty of ways to tie Wonder Man into the MCU. The show is also confirmed to bring back Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery.

On January 12, 2024, fans spotted Marvel filming the show's first season in Los Angeles (h/t Collider). It's tipped to be rebranded as a Spotlight series, and we've seen a rumor from Marvel Fans Forever on Facebook that filming has been completed and the miniseries will debut in the Summer of 2025. For now though, we're waiting for something official from Marvel.

Armor Wars

Originally, Armor Wars was set to be a Disney Plus series bringing back Don Cheadle as James "Rhodey" Rhodes, aka War Machine. That's been scrapped and the new idea is to do it as a movie, though still with Don Cheadle.

And it's now been reported that Sam Rockwell will return to the MCU in Armor Wars, reprising his role as Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2. Shooting would reportedly start in 2025 with a 2026 or 2027 release date. This is all currently based on rumor though, so take it with a grain of salt. Still, it does seem like Armor Wars has some legs as an ongoing MCU project.

Currently untitled MCU projects

Here's everything else that could be coming to the MCU, but doesn't have a project title. Once these shows and movies are more set in stone, we'll adjust accordingly.

• Untitled Vision series: Variety has officially reported that Paul Bettany is returning as Vision for an untitled Vision Disney Plus TV show slated for 2026. "Star Trek: Picard" season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas is currently attached as the showrunner.
• Untitled Marvel movie slated for February 13, 2026
• Untitled Marvel movie slated for November 6, 2026
• Untitled Marvel movie slated for July 23, 2027
