Marvel Studios revealed the slate for the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at San Diego Comic-Con. The announcements highlighted two upcoming Avengers installments: Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. The first film is scheduled to hit theaters on May 2, 2025, while the second is planned for a November 2025 release.
The first new Avengers film is expected to pick up after the showdown with Kang the Conqueror, a character who previously appeared in the Loki series. Beyond that, details about the plot of Secret Wars remain scarce at this time.
During the convention, the studio outlined plans for the fifth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The lineup includes Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Marvels, Blade, Captain America: New World Order, and several other projects that are in various stages of development.
In addition, Marvel announced a new season of the Daredevil series, titled Born Again, with Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox returning to their iconic roles. The season is set to feature 18 episodes.
The Daredevil project will stream on Disney+ rather than Netflix, and there are expectations that it may adopt a somewhat lighter tone in terms of violence while preserving the core dark atmosphere that fans appreciate.
At the event, a number of trailers were shown to give fans a glimpse of what lies ahead for the Marvel universe across films and series.
Trailer preview: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The film, released on November 11, 2022, centers on a new chapter for the Black Panther franchise and what it means for Wakanda and its allies as new challenges arise.
She-Hulk
The She-Hulk series is slated to begin on August 17, bringing a fresh courtroom and superhero dynamic to the MCU through the adventures of a newly transformed hero who bridges two worlds with wit and power.
The show features high production values and creative use of visual effects, underscoring Marvel’s commitment to expanding its characters with humor, legal drama, and action. A specialist in game development teased a vision of racing rendered with Unreal Engine 5, illustrating how cutting-edge technology shapes the look and feel of upcoming Marvel projects.
All of these announcements point to a robust expansion of the Marvel universe across big-screen adventures and streaming series, aimed at delivering interwoven stories across platforms while maintaining a strong connection to the core characters fans love. With the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new heroes, audiences in Canada and the United States can expect a busy slate that blends epic battles, character-driven storytelling, and the playful energy that defines Marvel today.
