Captain America: New World Order Is Coming in 2024 – San Diego Comic Con

Marvel has announced that the fourth Captain America film, titled Captain America: New World Order, is coming to theaters on May 3, 2024.

Announced as part of the Marvel Studios panel at SDCC 2022, the movie will be Anthony Mackie's first feature film as the new Captain America following the events of Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Earlier this month, we learned that Nigerian-American filmmaker Julius Onah will direct the film. Onah previously directed The Cloverfield Paradox, and this film marks the director's MCU debut. The film is being written by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's head writer and creator Malcolm Spellman.

We don't know much about the film's plot yet, but Marvel producer Nate Moore previously said this film will explore "what makes somebody Captain America", and dive into Sam Wilson's underdog status as the new Cap.

Also in the panel, we learned that She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will conclude Phase 4 of the MCU, meaning New World Order will presumably be a part of Phase 5.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts Will Conclude Phase 5 in Summer 2024 – San Diego Comic Con

Today at San Diego Comic Con, during a veritable deluge of information about the remainder of Marvel's Phase 4 and its coming Phase 5, it was revealed that Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts will conclude Phase 5 of the MCU on July 26, 2024.

We've known about the supposedly top-secret Thunderbolts movie through rumors for a bit now, including reports that it will be directed by Jake Schreier (Paper Towns, Robot & Frank) and written by Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok, Black Widow) and produced by Kevin Feige. We don't know any details just yet about what the movie will entail, but IGN has put together an explainer on what we know about Thunderbolts from the comics that might give us an idea of what to expect from the supervillain team that will supposedly reshape the MCU.

Thunderbolts will wrap up Phase 5 of the MCU, and we actually got a fairly detailed overview of not just the end of Phase 4, but all of Phase 5 and some of 6 today. Phase 4 will end with She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (both of which got new trailers today), while Phase 5 will open with Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania on February 17, 2023 and will wrap up with Thunderbolts. Phase 6 will open with Fantastic Four on November 8, 2024 and close with two Avengers movies: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars on May 2, 2025 and November 7, 2025, respectively. Phase 6 will bring The Multiverse Saga to a close.

She-Hulk: Marvel Reveals New Footage, Including a Cameo by Charlie Cox’s Daredevil

Marvel has revealed extended footage from She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law, and it includes the Hulk, a Hulk/She-Hulk training montage, Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, Wong, and Charlie Cox's Daredevil.

Shown off at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the footage arrives before She-Hulk: Attorney at Law lands on Disney+ on August 17, 2022, and tells the story of Tatiana Maslany's Jennifer Walters, an "attorney specializing in superhuman-oriented legal cases" who must "navigate the complicated life of a single, 30-something who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk."

She-Hulk's first season will contain nine episodes and is billed as "Marvel's first half-hour comedy series." The Disney+ show will also star Jameela Jamil, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. 

Additionally, She-Hulk will introduce the world to Frog Man - the son of a Spider-Man villain named Vincent Patilio/Leap Frog who is trying his best to be a hero.

She-Hulk, alongside Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will bring to a close Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This means it will pave the way for Phase 5's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and so many more.

Marvel also shared that Phase 6 will begin with Fantastic Four on November 8, 2024 and will end with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty on May 2, 2025, and Avengers: Secret Wars on November 7, 2025. These three phases will now be known as The Multiverse Saga.

Blade: Mahershala Ali’s MCU Version Gets a Release Date

Marvel has offered a release date at last for Mahershala Ali's take on Blade, and it looks like it's making 2023 after all.

Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, Blade will debut in theatres on November 3, 2023. The MCU Blade was announced at Comic-Con 2019 – with the unexpected (and very welcome) casting of Mahershala Ali, who'd previously played villain Cottonmouth in Netflix's Luke Cage series.

Blade won't be a part of the current Phase 4, is being directed by Bassam Tariq, and written by Watchmen's Stacy Osei-Kuffour. We already knew that Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) and Aaron Pierre (Krypton) would be a part of the movie, too.

This news about Blade dropped during a very enlightening panel at San Diego Comic Con where we learned tons about Marvel's plans for the finale of Phase 4, as well as both Phases 5 and 6, now called The Multiverse Saga. Blade nestles between The Marvels on July 28, 2023, Ironheart and Daredevil: Born Again in the fall of 2023, and Agatha: Coven of Chaos in Winter of 2023/2024, as part of Phase 5. Phase 5 opens on February 17, 2023, with Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and concludes on July 26, 2024, with Thunderbolts.

Daredevil: Born Again Announced During San Diego Comic-Con

After making his full MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Charlie Cox is getting his very own series on Disney Plus. During tonight's Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con, MCU boss Kevin Feige announced that Daredevil: Born Again will be launching as part of Phase 5.

The new project will feature Charlie Cox, now wholly a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will debut in Spring 2024. It will run 18 episodes.

Daredevil: Born Again will be part of Phase 5, which will kick off with Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantamania and continue all the way to Thunderbolts. Other shows include Ironheart, Agatha Coven of Chaos, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Dardedevil has been a hotly-requested addition to the MCU in the wake of the show's cancellation on Netflix. Fans got their wish when Charlie Cox made a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he represented Peter Parker.

Other major announcements during the San Diego Comic-Con panel include Secret Invasion. We also got a brand-new trailer for She-Hulk and lots more. Keep an eye out for our full recap of the Marvel Studios panel as lots more news appears during San Diego Comic-Con.
