- The Wonder Cinematic Universe is big—and rising.
- Including WandaVision, 2021 is scheduled to see the free up of 5 Disney+ sequence and 4 characteristic motion photographs. And or now not it’s now not stopping there.
- Here’s a listing of every upcoming Wonder Cinematic Universe film and tv remark, and rather bit of what everybody is aware of about them.
While you must per chance per chance very properly be partial to the Wonder Cinematic Universe—when you occur to have stuck around the whole approach up to now—or now not it’s stunning to resolve one thing: you favor more. After The Infinity Saga—the main 22 motion photographs in the franchise—came to a conclusion in Avengers: Endgame, the subsequent generation of Wonder storytelling got off to a hot commence with Spider-Man: Far From House. Issues had been presupposed to continue now not lengthy after that, nonetheless that pesky Covid-19 got in the manner.
But 2021 has gotten the educate support on the music, after which some. WandaVision, the main Wonder Studios fashioned sequence on Disney+—and by a ways the sequence with the closest ties to the sizable cover chronicle—got issues started with a bang. And or now not it’s issues that will continue as typically a nonstop stream for rather a whereas, as The Falcon and the Chilly climate Soldier is coming up, adopted by Loki, and, further barring from now on Covid-19 delays, will doubtless be joined by Dusky Widow in theaters. And that’s the reason earlier than this summer season is even out.
The future of the MCU is vivid, new, and per chance most of all, broad. WandaVision was as soon as enjoyable, and typically marks the commence of the Disney+ dam being broken. 2021 on my own is presently scheduled to have four more canonical MCU Disney+ sequence (at the side of the aforementioned The Falcon and the Chilly climate Soldier and Loki) and it sounds worship that pattern would per chance perchance continue (despite the incontrovertible truth that per chance now not rather as prolific) for years but to come.
And that’s the reason now to now no more cost-effective designate the film aspect of issues both. Wonder will add to that 23 film count with a pair of new additions each year, which would per chance encourage to introduce new characters worship Shang-Chi and the Eternals, whereas additionally continuing to kind on some present favorites worship Doctor Irregular, Spider-Man, and Ant-Man.
So, ample chitter chatter. Let’s focus on what’s on the manner—and when we are able to predict of it.
Movement the Wonder Cinematic Universe on Disney+
Films
Dusky Widow (July 9, 2021)
Wonder Studios
Replace: With the Covid-19 pandemic tranquil being a thing, the Wonder Cinematic Universe powers that be made a fearless resolution: pushing Dusky Widow support but one more time, to July 9, 2021, nonetheless making it a hybrid free up. That potential it will free up across the country theatrically as planned, nonetheless followers will additionally have the option of renting it on Disney+ with Premier access, that potential it will doubtless be readily available to subscribers for a further $30. Disney+ has beforehand supplied this with motion photographs Mulan and Raya and the Final Dragon. It be an interesting tear, and, as a extensive fan of going to the motion photographs, one we hope is handiest a one time deal—till we are able to all return to the theater feeling stable and delighted.
There could be now not any plot around it: Dusky Widow has gotten hit onerous by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the commence scheduled for free up in Could well 2020, that was as soon as clearly bumped as soon as or twice; or now not it’s now scheduled for July 9, 2021.
Dusky Widow will discover the starting place apart of one of many oldest and most-featured heroes in the MCU, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson). The majority of the film will educate her character in the time in between Captain The US: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, nonetheless it surely will additionally introduce viewers to her “household” (at the side of characters performed by Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz, and David Harbour) and presumably dive deeper into her previous than ever earlier than. Could well we per chance finally be taught the reality about what took place with Dusky Widow and Hawkeye in Budapest?
Shang-Chi and the Memoir of the 10 Rings (September 3, 2021)
Alberto E. RodriguezGetty Photography
Editor’s remark: Shang-Chi was as soon as the lone film—up to now—to be tormented by the Dusky Widow tear. It will now free up on September 3 in place apart of in July.
We fabricate now not formally know a ton about Shang-Chi, because there could be been small or no formally released up to now about the film (namely, no trailers or tranquil photographs of any kind). But everybody is aware of that the film will introduce a brand new hero to the MCU in Kung-Fu grasp Shang-Chi, a character first launched to the Wonder Comics lore support in 1973. Shang-Chi himself will doubtless be performed by Simu Liu, who’s handiest known for his characteristic in Canadian cult comedy favourite Kim’s Comfort.
The chronicle is now not entirely particular, nonetheless it surely will raise in the true version of the character The Mandarin, who’s prison organization “The 10 Rings” are referenced in the title. You is doubtless to be wide awake a pair of parts of that sentence from earlier in the MCU; The 10 Rings had been the secondary villains in the new Iron Man, who took Tony Stark prisoner in the initiating, and The Mandarin was as soon as the standard Wonder villain who [SPOILER FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD MOVIE] was as soon as impersonated by an actor named Trevor Slattery in Iron Man 3. Shang-Chi will finally introduce the true Mandarin to the MCU.
The film will additionally superstar Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Ronny Chieng, and Michelle Yeoh,
Eternals (November 5, 2021)
Jesse GrantGetty Photography
There could be small or no hype for Eternals excellent now, despite the incontrovertible truth that or now not it’s free up ostensibly is now not very lengthy away. But fabricate now not anxiety—there’ll doubtless be. On top of the superhero goodness that will surely be incorporated, Eternals is additionally directed by the favourite to possess shut this year’s Most interesting Director Oscar in Chloé Zhao (for Nomadland). That is now not any minute deal.
We fabricate now not know a ton about the location of Eternals, nonetheless everybody is aware of that in a post-Endgame world, an tournament causes the Eternals—an immortal alien toddle residing secretly on earth—to come out of hiding, in portray to give protection to the earth from their snide alien counterparts, is named the Deviants.
The film’s solid is additionally no minute deal; it entails Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Brian Tyree Henry, and was as soon as the film that led Kumail Nanjiani to accumulate completely jacked, among others. Kit Harington will additionally invent his MCU debut, taking part in but one other mystical warrior: this one is named Dane Whitman, who in the comics finally earns the moniker of Dusky Knight.
Spider-Man: No Method House (December 17, 2021)
Sony Photos
Spider-Man: No Method House will resolve up the place apart Spider-Man: Far From House left off: with Peter Parker in turmoil. Final we seen, Spider-Man’s identification had been published to the public by a aggregate of Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a now Infowars-ish J. Jonah Jameson (a returning JK Simmons!). How the film will address that is someone’s wager. Perhaps more interestingly, despite the incontrovertible truth that, is that the film has been largely rumored to consist of parts of a stay-motion Spider-Verse into its location. We know that Benedict Cumberbatch (as Doctor Irregular) will doubtless be in the film as a mentor to Peter, and or now not it’s been rumored that characters from previous Spider-Mans corresponding to Electro (Jamie Foxx) Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) is doubtless to be returning. And that’s the reason on top of the rumors that previous Spider-Mans Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield themselves would per chance perchance remark up. We fabricate now not know, nonetheless we’re in for a dawdle one plot or one other.
Tom Holland will additionally be joined in the solid all over any other time by Zendaya (MJ), Jacob Batalon (Ned), Marissa Tomei (Aunt Could well), and Tony Revolori (Flash).
Doctor Irregular in the Multiverse of Madness (March 25, 2022)
Wonder Studios
We had been informed that WandaVision would tie excellent into this Doctor Irregular sequel, and that sure appears to be the case given how that sequence ended up. With Benedict Cumberbatch additionally displaying in the above Spider-Man film, it additionally appears doubtless for that film to feed straight away into this one, which has tiny info, nonetheless says ample in its title on my own: we’ll the multiverse, small one.
Sam Raimi takes over for Scott Derrickson right here, and he comes with rather rather of pedigree. Between directing the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man motion photographs, and a handful of horror classics (The Irascible Ineffective, Military of Darkness, Accelerate Me To Hell), Raimi appears worship a finest match for this extremely-anticipated sequel; Wonder Studios head Kevin Feige has stated that the film would have “horrifying” sequences, a la Raiders of the Lost Ark or Poltergeist.
Cumberbatch will doubtless be joined in the solid by Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch), along with returning Doctor Irregular characters Benedict Wong (Wong), Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (the now-snide Baron Mordo).
Thor: Relish and Narrate (Could well 6, 2022)
Wonder Studios
The personnel from Thor: Ragnarok will doubtless be support for Thor: Relish and Narrate. That chiefly potential superstar Chris Hemsworth and director Taika Waititi, nonetheless Tessa Thompson will additionally be returning as Valkyrie. Furthermore, the film will seek for the return of Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, an exhilarating turn pondering the film will educate the Mighty Thor comic book arc, which finds Jane taking on the powers of Thor and wielding Mjolnir.
Relish and Narrate will additionally kind on what Infinity War and Endgame started by placing Thor along with the Guardians of the Galaxy (sans Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, who they will doubtless be procuring for following the events of Endgame). More of these Chris vs Chris hijinx are on the manner.
We would per chance perchance merely tranquil doubtlessly additionally focus on the film’s villain: Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher. With previous MCU villains at the side of Robert Redford, Kurt Russell, Cate Blanchett, and Kurt Russell, it in truth wouldn’t have felt worship someone was as soon as off the table. But Bale is both an Academy Award winner and a mature superhero superstar in his non-public excellent, so Waititi pulling him is a namely sizable deal. It additionally helps that Gorr is one of essentially the most complex and collaborating villains in the Wonder canon.
Dusky Panther II (July 8, 2022)
Disney
Obviously, the plans for the Dusky Panther (2018) sequel needed to commerce when its titular superstar, Chadwick Boseman, died final year after a fight with colon cancer. We fabricate now not know great about Dusky Panther II, nonetheless filming is anticipated to originate in Australia this July. Boseman’s characteristic as T’Challa will now not be recast, and outdated solid contributors Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Angela Basset are all anticipated to come support. Wright’s Shuri, the sister of T’Challa, is doubtless to be considered the favourite to become the franchise’s new lead; in the Wonder Comics, at one point Shuri herself takes on the Dusky Panther mantle. This would per chance perchance additionally encourage as one thing of a backdoor pilot into Ryan Coogler’s upcoming Disney+ sequence spot in Wakanda.
Captain Wonder 2 (November 11, 2022)
Wonder
Brie Larson will return as Carol Danvers for Captain Wonder 2, which would per chance perchance per chance even be directed by Nia DaCosta (the upcoming Candyman). The film will additionally tie in a pair of characters launched by Disney+ sequence in Monica Rambeau (performed right here by Teyonah Parris, who performed her grownup version in WandaVision) and Iman Vellani as Ms. Wonder (who will debut in a titular Disney+ sequence later this year.) We fabricate now not know great else. Perhaps we accumulate Prick Fury and Talos any other time?
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2022)
Wonder Studios
One other one we fabricate now not know a ton about, rather than the incontrovertible truth that it will educate the events of Endgame. Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Peña will all return, and Kathryn Newton will now play Cassie Lang, Ant-Man’s daughter. The villain will doubtless be Kang The Conqueror, a Nexus being who is doubtless to be key to the MCU multiverse, and can merely tranquil be performed by Jonathan Majors.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Wonder Studios
This one has rather of a day out on the support of it. You could per chance per chance per chance make a selection that Guardians creator/director James Gunn was as soon as fired from his job with the franchise in 2018 following controversial and “edgy” frail jokes resurfacing. While at that point a brand new Guardians film was as soon as his priority, after his firing he was as soon as hired by Warner Bros. to invent The Suicide Squad and a run-off sequence Peacemaker. So by the time Disney got itself collectively and rehired Gunn to come support to the Guardians helm, he had already mandatory to prioritize these other two initiatives, so Guardians was as soon as pushed off rather. One bonus? Guardians Vol. 3 will film in coordination with The Guardians of the Galaxy Vacation Particular, which would per chance debut in 2022 on Disney+, whereas this film will educate in 2023.
Implausible Four
Chung Sung-JunGetty Photography
Here’s what everybody is aware of about the MCU’s Implausible Four film: it will exist. Kevin Feige formally announced the film in December 2020, and one well-known piece of recordsdata: Jon Watts, who’s directed all three MCU Spider-Man installments, will doubtless be directing. We fabricate now not know anything else about casting at all—no topic rumors which have come up now not too lengthy in the past about John Krasinski and Jennifer Lawrence—nonetheless everybody is aware of this film will doubtless be happening. Now if handiest for some recordsdata about the X-Men.
Blade

Wonder’s sizable announcement on the end of San Diego Comedian Con 2019 was as soon as that—finally—Blade, the Vampire hunter, would be becoming a member of the MCU. And he would be performed by two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali. A extraordinarily very sizable deal, and in truth fabulous casting. Now, the film is tranquil a suggestions away—or now not it’s supposedly going to to be in the MCU’s Section 5, and Section 4 is handiest exact starting—nonetheless it surely is coming. Wonder now not too lengthy in the past hired Watchmen creator Stacy Osei-Kuffour to write down the script.
TV Series
The Falcon and the Chilly climate Soldier (March 19, 2021)
Disney
After a lengthy wait—and some delays—The Falcon and the Chilly climate Soldier will debut on Disney+ on March 19. The remark will toddle for six roughly hour-lengthy episodes, and can merely tranquil address the instantaneous aftermath of Steve Rogers giving Sam Wilson the Captain The US shield on the end of Avengers: Endgame. Obviously, Bucky Barnes—additionally is named The Chilly climate Soldier—will doubtless be along for the dawdle with Sam, and we’ll seek for how that every one goes.
The remark will largely be following the events of the Captain The US motion photographs, at the side of The Chilly climate Soldier and Civil War. In turn, that potential some characters from these motion photographs will play key roles, at the side of Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp), who’s now on the toddle after helping Cap and company in Civil War, and Civil War‘s villain, Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl), who we final seen getting captured by Dusky Panther. Upcomer Wyatt Russell (Dusky Judge, All people Wants Some) will play the mysterious character of John Walker/U.S. Agent, who in the comics is salvage of a authorities-created replacement for Captain The US—nonetheless we’re getting particular Homelander vibes.
Loki (June 11, 2021)
Wonder Studios
Our frail friend is support. While you had been paying moderately shut attention during Avengers: Endgame, you seen that in the ‘time heist’ sequence, when our heroes went support to the aftermath of the new Avengers film (additionally is named The Battle of Unique York), the Tesseract—Dwelling Stone internal—ended up in 2012 Loki’s fingers. And 2012 Loki zapped excellent away.
Men’s Properly being
Loki, which would per chance debut on Disney+ in June, will educate the adventures of that Loki. The remark has been described by Kevin Feige as a “crime thriller” which would per chance additionally characteristic Loki the usage of the Tesseract to recede through time to main events, altering human historical previous. Enormous stuff!
The remark will additionally characteristic Owen Wilson (!) as an officer of the Time Variance Authority, an agency that polices time recede and the multiverse. Other contributors of the remark’s impressive solid in undisclosed roles consist of Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sasha Lane, Lovecraft Nation‘s Wunmi Mosaku, and Richard E. Grant.
What If… (“Mid 2021”)
Wonder Studios
What If… is the main provocative sequence to technically be “canon” in the MCU. It would per chance perchance per chance merely now not play a immense characteristic in pushing the complete franchise’s chronicle forward, nonetheless it surely is doubtless to be one of essentially the most enjoyable entries but. The remark is corresponding to the What If… comics, which typically encourage to remark how some key MCU moments would per chance perchance have took place. A couple examples consist of Peggy Carter taking the trim soldier serum, and Captain The US turning exact into a zombie. Every character right here will doubtless be voiced by their real MCU actor, and every thing will doubtless be linked by the extremely efficient enlighten of Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher.
Ms. Wonder (“Unhurried 2021”)
Wonder Studios
Disney+’s Ms. Wonder sequence will introduce Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Wonder, a 16-year-frail superfan of Captain Wonder who writes fan fiction, earlier than finally gaining her non-public superpowers. She’s additionally based mostly mostly in Jersey City, so, you know, Unique Jersey pride.
The remark will presumably tie straight away into Captain Wonder 2, as Ms. Wonder will appear (alongside Brie Larson as Carol Danvers and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau) in that film when its released in 2022.
Hawkeye (“Unhurried 2021”)
Wonder Studios
It took Wonder more a decade from Dusky Widow’s first look in Iron Man 2 to give that character her non-public project, and or now not it’s doing the identical with Hawkeye (who first looked in a cameo in Thor earlier than taking a key characteristic in the subsequent year’s The Avengers).
Jeremy Renner returns to play the titular character right here, clearly, nonetheless it surely is doubtless to be the starting of the end of his toddle because the character; the location of the remark revolves around his practising Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). In the Wonder Comics, Kate Bishop takes over the mantle of Hawkeye as one of many Young Avengers. It’s miles perfect, too, that Hawkeye would must in truth retire; now we have seen him with his household as soon as or twice, and he was as soon as already kinda retired during Captain The US: Civil War. Let this man have a tendency to his farm in peace!
She-Hulk (2022)
Wonder Studios
She-Hulk is one of essentially the most thrilling upcoming Disney+ sequence on this whole list. Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Dusky, Perry Mason) will play the titular character, a cousin of Bruce Banner who takes the serum and positive aspects a milder version of Banner’s Hulk condition. Speaking of Banner—Mark Ruffalo will return for all 10 episodes of the sequence. Beautiful recordsdata. She-Hulk will additionally designate the return of a character we haven’t seen in larger than a decade: Emil Blonsky/The Abomination, the villain from The Implausible Hulk, who will all over any other time be performed by Tim Roth. The remark’s head creator will doubtless be Rick and Morty‘s Jessica Gao.
Moon Knight (2022)

Is it doubtless to be more indignant for an MCU thing with characters we haven’t been launched to but? Doubtlessly now not. Moon Knight will doubtless be a six-episode sequence that introduces the character of Marc Spector/Moon Knight, a mercenary who essentially in many suggestions serves as Wonder’s version of Batman. However the true thing getting us indignant is the solid: Oscar Isaac—one of many handiest actors in the industry and already a oldschool of blockbuster fare with Star Wars—is taking part in the lead, and the remark’s main villain will doubtless be performed by one other account of the acting realm in one Ethan Hawke.
It appears form of onerous to clutter issues up with these two locked in. But in case when you occur to had been wondering who else was as soon as concerned, the remark’s head creator is Jeremy Slater, who was as soon as on the support of the underrated 2016 TV adaptation of The Exorcist and additionally did some work on The Umbrella Academy (which has a Batman-esque character of its non-public).
The Guardians of the Galaxy Vacation Particular (2022)
Wonder Studios
As referenced above in our breakdown of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The Vacation Particular will doubtless be filmed support-to-support with the subsequent characteristic film (scheduled for 2023 free up), and can merely tranquil encourage to bridge the hole between Vol 2 (or, per chance, Endgame) and Vol. 3.
Secret Invasion (TBD)
Wonder Studios
Secret Invasion was as soon as one of many finest Wonder Comedian tournament arcs (which you must per chance per chance make a selection up on right here), fascinated with an world-spanning tournament that came about apart as soon as the Skrulls slowly nonetheless surely infiltrated many of the world’s extremely efficient organizations. The MCU eradicate on this whole thing must be rather various, pondering Captain Wonder has established the Skrulls as excellent guys. The scale will additionally be introduced in rather bit; this won’t be a plump Avengers-stage personnel up, as a replacement focusing in on two characters who’ve shown some sizable chemistry collectively in the previous: Prick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn).
Ironheart (TBD)
Dia DipasupilGetty Photography
The Ironheart Disney+ sequence will adapt a enjoyable Wonder Comics storyline of the previous years, which sees Riri Williams, a tech genius from Chicago, taking on Iron Man’s mantle. Dominique Thorne, who is 2/2 in sizable motion photographs up to now in her profession (With Judas and the Dusky Messiah and If Beale Avenue Could well Talk on her resume), will play Riri. We would conducting to wager that other frail Iron Man company—James Rhodes? Justin Hammer?—would per chance perchance remark up.
Armor Wars (TBD)
Disney
Speaking of our frail buddy Mr. Rhodes, Don Cheadle will return to play Tony Stark’s handiest friend and fellow suited-up superhero in Armor Wars, which would per chance raise one of many most properly-known Iron Man comic arcs of the ’80s to Disney+. The sequence will discover what occurs when Stark’s superior skills will get into the substandard fingers. Sounds worship a extensive probability to raise support Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer—and it would per chance perchance per chance be about damn time. Enormous villain.
Wakanda Series (TBD)
Wonder Studios
We fabricate now not know a ton about this one exact but. But it will come from Ryan Coogler, and match in neatly with his two Dusky Panther motion photographs, clearly.
