Fans have been waiting extra long for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the wait is nearly over.
On Monday, Marvel Studios unveiled its full list of titles and release dates for each of the films it will release over the next three years, filling in some of the blanks that have kept fans guessing, including unveiling the first look at Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals,” revealing the titles for “Captain Marvel 2” and “Black Panther 2” and even dropping a few logos and release dates.

Watching 20+ movies sounds daunting, but it s really not that bad. Over the last couple months, I embarked upon a rewatch of the feature films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from 2008 s
Iron Man to 2019 s
Spider-Man: Far From Home. These are fun movies that often get at and invoke deeper themes; they re action-packed with tons of levity and bring characters you ll love down the line, even if you don t care for them initially.
But back to that main point watching everything. Look, obviously a 20+ project or list of
anything
is a lot to take on, and it sure sounds like it, too. But breezing through a rewatch (or a first watch) of the MCU is really nothing when you think about it in the context of the way we all watch and binge TV. 22-23 movies (more on that in a bit) in the range of 2-3 hours comes out to the equivalent of somewhere around 4-5 seasons of a prestige drama. It s a lot, but it s a very far cry from insurmountable.
Malcolm Spellman hyped up Episode 5 as the one they believed would get fans talking and they weren t wrong. And though she has kept her new pivotal role in the Marvel universe a secret long after she was meant to debut in
Black Widow, Louis-Dreyfus couldn t help but tease her new gig in an interview she gave to
Vanity Fair back in 2019. To be more precise,
Veep co-star
David Mandel were really the ones who couldn t keep a lid on their excitement.
When asked what Louis-Dreyfus should do next, Hale said: “Selina was so atrocious, but then you loved her at the same time. And I think that makes a really good Disney villain.” It was Mandel, specifically, who suggested she might play a Marvel villain. Louis-Dreyfus had no choice but to play along saying: “Swinging around on wires and kicking people in the face…shooting fire out of whatever you shoot fire out of. I would dig that.”
Spring has arrived, which means thereâs a cavalcade of new big-budget Hollywood movies around the corner to grace both theaters and streaming services.
Donât be surprised if a few of these movies sound familiar due to having been pushed back ad infinitum because of the pandemic. And remember, these release dates are fluid and constantly changing as studios rework their upcoming slates to maximize a filmâs reach (and profits) during a particularly unstable period for the whole industry.
Note: TBD indicates that the method of release is to be determined.
