Missing the Avengers? Here’s a Complete List of Upcoming Marvel Films To Tide You Over

Anyone else feel like their last decade has been completely consumed with Marvel? Sure, we had kids. Theyâre great. Yes, we also made a point to go to all the new Star Wars movies (even the shitty ones). But the 22-film Avengers story that ended with Endgame has understandably taken up the most time in our lives. Think of it like this: Even if each move in the MCU only lasted 2 hours, thatâs still a total of 44 hours weâve spent with Marvel characters during the last twelve years. Thatâs basically an average workweek. But, guys. It gets better because, dun dun dun, thereâs more on the way!
We would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge and memorialize the one character and actor we will sorely miss. Sadly, Chadwick Boseman passed away in August 2020, leaving millions of fans devastated and the future of a return to Wakanda in jeopardy. We donât yet know the fate of Black Panther 2. As much as weâd love to see more of TâChalla and his family, no one could possibly replace or replicate the power and grace Boseman brought to the screen.
Whatâs ahead from Marvel? Letâs take a look. Just keep in mind that the global COVID-19 pandemic has already sent the movie industry spiraling and postponed many release dates. Weâre including what we know so far and will be updating with any new relevant information.
Black Widow
May 2021
Thatâs right. Natasha Romanoff (and Scarlett Johansson) returns! What can we expect? While most details are being kept behind lock and key, there are two interesting tidbits. First, rumor has it that the story will follow Natashaâs life before she joined the Avengers, making it a prequel of sorts. Florence Pugh (Little Women) is also involved and rumored to play Yelena, who takes on the role of Black Widow after Natasha.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
July 2021
Remember the epic Iron Man 3 fake-out when we thought we were meeting MCUâs Mandarin, but clearly, werenât? This time around, weâll meet the real guy, played by Tony Leung. And if you liked the decidedly not white casting with Black Panther expect to be equally pleased with Shang. Marvel has filled the film with an almost entirely Asian cast. Representation matters.
Eternals
November 2021
Comic nerds are especially excited about this film because itâs a chance to see their Jack Kirby-created comic come alive in a way only Marvel is capable of doing. Bonus: Angelina Jolie is on board to play Thena.
Untitled Spider-Man: Far From Home Sequel
December 2021
Between Tom Hollandâs chaotic filming schedule and all the bumps and blows delivered by the coronavirus, this long-awaited film continues to be pushed back. We know basically nothing. Zendayaâs Mary Jane will return, though! But, donât worry, folks. Holland and Zandaya are both too young to play out that awful cancer-causing-sperm storyline Marvel released a few years ago. (*cringe*)
Even More To Come
2021 is stacked, right? Thatâs only the beginning. Just like the previous ten years, Marvel plans to keep us in theaters for another decade. Hereâs a quicker look at what else is ahead.
Thor: Love and Thunder (February, 2022)
Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (March, 2022)
Black Panther 2 (May, 2022 â Plans will probably change following Boseman’s untimely death.)
Captain Marvel 2 (July, 2022)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (TBD)
Blade (TBD)
Ant-Man 3 (TBD)
