Here’s the Full Marvel Cinematic Universe Release Schedule for the Next 3 Years

Comic-Con: Marvel kicks off the MCU’s Phase 4 with “Black Widow” — and teases a “Blade” reboot

Marvel Studios on Saturday announced its full line-up of movies for the next three years, starting with next May’s standalone “Black Widow” with Scarlett Johansson.

The studio’s star-studded presentation at San Diego Comic-Con detailed its plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Phase 4,” which follows the “Infinity Saga” that includes every Marvel Studios movie dating back to 2008’s “Iron Man.” It’s sure to be a grand vision following the most recent events of “Avengers: Endgame” and “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”

Disney previously dated eight untitled MCU movies among their release slate that included “Star Wars” and “Avatar” movies through the year 2027, with the Marvel titles so far being dated until July 2022.

After “Black Widow” hits on May 1, 2020, “The Eternals” with Angelina Jolie will follow on Nov. 6, 2020 and “Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings” will open in Feb. 2021. The second “Doctor Strange” film, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” will open on May 7, 2021. The fourth “Thor” movie, now titled “Thor: Love and Thunder,” will open Nov. 5, 2021.

Marvel also announced plans for “Black Panther 2,” “Guardians of the Galaxy 3,” “Captain Marvel 2,” a new “Fantastic Four” film and “Blade” starring Mahershala Ali, all for unspecified dates. Disney currently has three slots allotted for Marvel films in 2022, with no dates set beyond that.
