The last bit of info that we got when marvel announced phase 4 at Comic-Con was the very first slate of series pertaining to Disney+ These weren’t precisely revelations considering that Disney wanted fans to understand that there would be plenty of Feige-produced MCU material on their streaming service. We likewise didn’t get premiere dates, just vague seasonal times for the shows.

The panel wound down after showing footage from the Black Widow movie, however Feige did his best perception of the late Steve Jobs. though instead of one a lot more thing, he confirmed some other projects in the works. He said they didn’t have time to talk about the sequels to Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, or Black Panther. He confirmed they are in development, with James Gunn chiming on Twitter that Guardians starts after he directs suicide Squad 2. Feige likewise said they didn’t have time to talk about the wonderful four or mutants in the MCU, which suggests that both things are in early stages of development. The offer between Disney as well as Fox, who owned the rights to those characters, only finalized earlier this year. So, this indicates that they are bringing house those famous characters however couldn’t work on them until now. Still, after marvel announced phase 4 as well as teased phase 5, there was still one surprise. Mahershala Ali took the stage as Feige announced that he’d take up the function of Blade. though no word on if this is a series or a film.
Marvel announced phase 4 at Comic-Con as well as all the fans in attendance got a hell of a show. Yet, there is one glaring spider-sized hole in all of those announcements. If Sony as well as marvel were going to renew their contract, SDCC seemed like the location to expose it. Yet, as we reported last week, Spider-Man: far From house has to hit a billion dollars at the box office in buy to enable marvel Studios to work on the third film. This seems likely, since just two weeks after release Spidey earned as much as the very first film did. Yet, if it doesn’t hit that benchmark Sony might take Tom Holland from the MCU as well as put him in their own Spider-Verse.
