Sorry, nothing in cart.
San Diego Comic-Con held a treasure trove of goodies for MCU fans. The biggest among them was undoubtedly the announcement of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.
Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts also got official reveals. But one of the Phase 5 projects that shocked the most people was when Marvel Studios’
Disney and Marvel are currently in the last stages of preparation for the final movie in Phase 4, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And with the movie’s first trailer having premiered during Marvel Studios’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, fans look forward to seeing how Wakanda and its surroundings have expanded for the sequel.
With Marvel still recovering from leading actor Chadwick Boseman’s untimely passing in 2020,
While Warner Bros. Discovery has yet to reveal its plan for the DCU moving forward, it appears that the studio’s stand-alone DC projects are safe and moving forward. In addition to a sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the studio also greenlit a sequel to its 2019’s Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips.
Earlier this year,
Even after everything that was announced for Marvel Studios at San Diego Comic-Con this year, one major MCU production remains shrouded in mystery – Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has verbally confirmed on numerous occasions that Reynolds is set to join the MCU in Deadpool 3, although no official information has been set in stone about its release.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is only a few months away from its debut, bringing a thrilling new character into the MCU with Tenoch Huerta’s Namor the Sub-Mariner. Following a long issue over his movie rights with Universal Pictures, the underwater ruler is set to bring his full might against the Wakandans as the movie’s main villain.
The Batman was only the beginning for Warner Bros.’s latest take on the world of DC’s Dark Knight. The Matt Reeves-directed epic garnered rave reviews, with its Gotham City and surrounding characters being some of the highlights. One of the most popular among these supporting characters was Colin Farrell’s Penguin.
Farrell’s take on Oswald Cobblepot was so popular even before the release of the film that WB was quick to announce an HBO Max series centered on the Batman villain.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is primed and ready to round out the MCU’s theatrical slate for 2022 and Phase 4 as a whole. The upcoming sequel has had its fair share of bumps in the road during production, the most difficult being the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman.
Boseman’s untimely death sent shockwaves through not just Marvel Studios,
Avengers: Endgame effectively changed the game in the MCU upon its arrival in April 2019, setting the stage for a new world in Phase 4 and beyond. One of the franchises that was hit the hardest in this regard was the Black Panther story, which now has the responsibility of ending Phase 4 in November with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Black Adam will not only introduce a plethora of new characters into the DCEU, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also promised that the hierarchy of the DC Universe will change after the movie. The “hierarchy of the DC Universe” line has been the movie’s go-to statement in its marketing, and the trailers already proved that this is more than just a promotional line due to Black Adam’s dominance over the Justice Society of America.
Star Wars’ video game future feels like a bright one (at least in concept). No longer does EA have a stranglehold on the IP in the virtual space, allowing for any studio or developer to pitch their dream Star Wars games to Lucasfilm. While no fruits of this labor have been released as of yet, the list of upcoming Star Wars titles has continued to balloon.
