Marvel Studios teased a continuation of Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier when the title card changed to Captain America and the Winder Soldier. Yet, while plans for a movie were announced shortly thereafter, Marvel Studios never confirmed the project. With the news of a director boarding Captain America 4 earlier this month, it’s not surprising that Marvel Studios has officially announced the project as part of its Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con.
The film, titled Captain America: New World Order, will star Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson as he takes over the Captain America mantle.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman penned the script with Dalan Musson, a staff writer on the show. Julius Onah, who helmed The Cloverfield Paradox, is on board to direct the film.
Captain America: New World Order is slated to hit theaters on May 3rd, 2024.
With the return of San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios’ legendary Hall H panel was back for SDCC 2022. Back in 2019, Marvel Studios laid out the first part of the outline for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4. Now, in 2022, the mega panel closed out the day in Hall H in style with major revelations and exciting information and footage for fans. If you missed our live coverage of the event, or if you are looking for all the Marvel Studios SDCC news in one place, we’ve got you covered. This article contains a summary of the panel and hits all the newsworthy highlights.
While some wondered if Marvel Studios would truly bring major surprises to SDCC, President Kevin Feige immediately shocked fans by announcing that Phase 4 of the MCU has almost nearly already come to an end. Phase 4 officially ends with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which is only months away. Phase 5, which has previously barely been discussed, is now officially set to begin with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in early 2023 and end with Thunderbolts, a newly announced title, in the summer of 2024. Not only that, but Marvel Studios released the first information about Phase 6. Phases 4 through 6 will indeed be titled, the “Multiverse Saga”, and will end in a two-part Avengers event. Check out everything—in release order—below.
Phase 4
Marvel Studios made the shocking reveal that only two projects are left in Phase 4 of the MCU. Both She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever revealed new posters and trailers.
She-Hulk — August 17, 2022
As the next project to be released in the MCU, it comes as no surprise that Marvel Studios spent a little time on She-Hulk. Set to debut on Disney+ on August 17, the cast of the series arrived in Hall H:

A poster and final trailer for the series dropped at SDCC, which includes training montages and 4th wall breaks. It also confirms that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil will be in She-Hulk. Check it out below:

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — November 11, 2022
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was certainly one of the most predictable inclusions in Marvel Studios’ SDCC panel considering it is the MCU’s next feature film. Still, the sequel to the Academy Award-winning Black Panther closed out the Hall H presentation. Feige was joined on stage by director Ryan Coogler and cast members Mabel Cadena, Michaela Cole, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Tenoch Huerta, Florence Kasumba, Alex Livinalli, Lupita Nyong’o, Dominique Thorne and Letitia Wright.
SDCC revealed that the series Echo will hit Disney+ in Summer 2023.
Loki Season 2 — Summer 2023
The second season of Loki is also slated for Summer 2023, though after Echo.
The Marvels — July 28, 2023
Even though Ms. Marvel just ended to critical acclaim and with a tease to the Captain Marvel sequel, no new information about The Marvels was shared. It is still scheduled for a July 28, 2023 release.
Blade — November 3, 2023
There was no additional information on the upcoming Blade film led by Mahershala Ali. But the film was given a release date of November 3, 2023.
Ironheart — Fall 2023
The Disney+ series following Riri Williams, Ironheart will release in Fall 2023.
Agatha: Coven of Chaos — Winter 2023
Following Marvel Studios’ first streaming project, WandaVision, a spinoff focusing on Kathryn Hahn’s character, Agatha Harkness, was announced. At SDCC ’22, the spinoff was given a new name and a tentative release date. Agatha: Coven of Chaos will start streaming on Disney+ in Winter 2023.
Daredevil’s solo series starring Charlie Cox in the MCU was not a major part of the SDCC panel. Still, not only did we learn that the series would be titled, Daredevil: Born Again, but it will consist of a whopping 18 episodes. It will begin streaming on Disney+ sometime in Spring 2024.
Captain America: New World Order — May 3, 2024
Marvel Studios teased a continuation of Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier when the title card changed to Captain America and the Winder Soldier. Yet, while plans for a movie were announced shortly thereafter, Marvel Studios never confirmed the project. With the news of a director boarding Captain America 4 earlier this month, it’s not surprising that Marvel Studios has officially announced the project as part of its Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman penned the script with Dalan Musson, a staff writer on the show. Julius Onah, who helmed The Cloverfield Paradox, is on board to direct the film. It will release May 3, 2024.
Not only did Marvel Studios surprise by announcing the entirety of Phase 5, but Kevin Feige kept going, giving audiences a look at what looks to be a massive Phase 6, beginning with Fantastic Four on November 8, 2024. Phase 6 will end in a duo of Avengers films entitled Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Phases 4 through 6 are officially coined the “Multiverse Saga”.
Fantastic Four — November 8, 2024
In 2019, Kevin Feige blew up SDCC with the announcement that Marvel Studios was set to unleash their own Fantastic Four film after acquiring the property in the merger with Fox. Jon Watts was brought on board to direct the film but recently left the project. While there’s no new director on board, the film does now have a release date.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty — May 2, 2025 Avengers: Secret Wars — November 7, 2025
Like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame did for Phase 3 and the Infinity Saga, the fifth and sixth Avengers films will close out Phase 6 and the Multiverse Saga. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars release May 2 and November 7, 2025, meaning there are only about six months between the release of the two films. Not much else is known about the two-part event, but it confirms many fans’ speculations that the current saga’s big villain would be Kang the Conquerer and end in a Secret Wars-inspired multiversal event.
We’re still some time away from the official Marvel Studios panel, but in a surprising move, it seems that Marvel Studios Andy Parkart has shared an early look at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Not only that, but it also includes our first teaser of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, as well as the design of Cassie Lang’s costume as Stature, the first time confirming she’ll take on the role in the upcoming film.
Paramount+ has become the go-to streaming service for all things Star Trek. Following the success of Star Trek: Discovery, the streaming service continued to build its Star Trek library with the addition of Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The latter series, which just ended its first season to critical acclaim, chronicled Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock, and the rest of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they visited different parts of the Galaxy. It is set 10 years before Star Trek: The Original Series and is the first spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery.
The series showed Captain Pike in his post-retirement glory gearing up to hand the Enterprise to one Captain Kirk, with Strange New Worlds finding him in his prime leading the Enterprise with new and old faces alike. When showrunner Alex Kurtzman pitched the series to then-CBS All Access, he pitched them on an ever-expanding universe that could potentially see crossovers between the different shows, ala the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We did not know when the first crossover would happen, but San Diego Comic-Con has provided that answer.
— Star Trek on Paramount+ (@StarTrekOnPPlus) July 23, 2022
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is officially crossing over with Star Trek: Lower Decks, which is the first animated Star Trek series since 1970 and follows the adventures of the Cerritos in the year 2380. The show is now two seasons in, and it has been revealed that Season 2 of Strange New Worlds will see a live-action crossover between the two shows. Even cooler, it will be directed by Commander William Riker, himself Jonathan Frakes. Frakes was actually one of the ones who pitched CBS on some Star Trek content before they decided Kurtzman would be the sole showrunner, so it is exciting to see him get a shot to direct this first crossover episode in the Star Trek Universe.
During the Warner Bros. Hall H panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, DC Entertainment gave fans new footage and insight into some of its upcoming projects. Much of the presentation focused on Shazam: Fury of the Gods and Black Adam, with respective stars Zachary Levi and Dwayne Johnson in attendance. If you missed our live coverage of the event, you can catch up on the highlights of DC’s presentation here.
— Murphy's Multiverse (@MultiverseMurph) July 23, 2022
Shazam: Fury of the Gods is scheduled to hit theaters on December 21, 2022.
Black Adam
DC next dazzled the Hall H audience with its Black Adam presentation, including a dramatic entrance from star Dwayne Johnson himself. Johnson was also joined by other cast members, including Jaume Collet-Serra, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, and Quintessa Swindell.
Well, the San Diego Comic-Con panel for DC Comics has come to an end. Surprisingly, this year was quite the mellow offering with only the focus being on Shazam: Fury of the Gods and Black Adam. It seems that Warner Bros. wanted to keep a focus on the projects that are set to release this year. We didn’t even get a tease for Aquaman or even The Flash, which have been heavily promoted during DC FanDome.
Earlier rumors hinted at Henry Cavill showing up during the Hall H panel to announce his return as Superman was heavily rumored but it turns out that wasn’t the case after all. the panel ended with a nice gift from Dwayne Johnson for the attendees, as they got a golden ticket for an early screening of Black Adam. Yet, Henry Cavill was nowhere in sight and the panel ended on a sweet but somber note.
Black Adam made a thunderous appearance in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and the rest of the cast coming along to tease the man in black’s big debut later this year. To end the panel, the cast shared a brief new look at the film, with the footage revealing a familiar face to DC fans.
This just begs the question as to when Black Adam is set within the DC Extended Universe timeline as the end of Peacemaker would make for an odd situation in the film between Harcourt and Waller.
For now, fans can enjoy the new trailer for Black Adam and check it out when it hits theaters this October.
The Shazam: Fury of The Gods trailer has finally arrived and fans are already anticipating the return of the Wizards champions. The trailer included some great references to the wider DC Extended Universe with glimpses of characters like the Flash, Batman, and Aquaman but if you look a little closer you’ll notice some references to another recent DC film.
If you look close enough you’ll be able to spot multiple references to Starro, the villain of TheSuicide Squad. The world briefly got a glimpse of the conquerer on television, seen stomping down the streets of Corto Maltese as Task Force X took it on.
Black Adam is the one DC film that promises to change everything. Dwayne Johnson has been hyping up the project for quite some time now, and many wondered how they’d tackle an anti-hero in contrast to the usual superhero fare. Luckily, it seems that they took some inspiration from other mediums, as director Jaume Collet-Serra compared the character to be like Dirty Harry.
This seemed like a Dirty Harry-type of character. When the system is broken and when the system is corrupt, you need someone to break the system down. I gravitated towards that.
During the Warner Bros. and DC presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, those lucky enough to get into Hall H were treated to plenty of exciting teases. Leading man Zachary Levi and director David F. Sandberg were on hand to unveil exclusive footage for the crowd, while also teasing what they could expect when the sequel hits theaters. While fans had the ability to ask questions, there was one question, in particular, that is sure to interest most fans.
One fan asked if we could expect Superman in all his red-caped glory to show-up, to which Sandberg responded, “That’s a spoiler. There’s a lot going on in the movie.”
While that’s neither a confirmation nor denial, it does leave hope for fans eager to see Henry Cavill return as Superman. Especially after reports suggested the actor would be on hand at the Warner Bros. panel. It remains to be seen whether or not the actor returns as the Man of Steel. However, Warner Bros. and DC have made it a habit of using a stand-in for recent Superman appearances – like in the first Shazam! film and more recently the HBO Max series Peacemaker.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods will hit theaters on Dec. 21st, 2022.
