“Spider-Man 4” Confirmed, “Daredevil” Will Be Different, “Fantastic Four” Is So Important: Marvel Boss Gives Update On Upcoming MCU Projects

Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige doesn’t usually like to look at the cards, only revealing information about the future of the MCU, which he is primarily responsible for, in bits and pieces or with much fanfare on a stage. Commemorating Phase 5 of the Avengers Universe, started with Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania However, Feige has now commented in detail on the plans for the MCU.

On the one hand, it concerns general developments, for example, Feige promises that there should be fewer Marvel series on Disney + in the future and that they should also be given a little more breathing space. He mainly talks to the magazine but about a range of future projects – from Blade to the new Daredevil series and Fantastic Four to Spider-Man 4 and Thunderbolts. We have collected Feige’s key statements about the respective projects:

“Sheet”

Kevin Feige didn’t have much to say about “Blade,” which has been plagued with behind-the-camera issues in the meantime, other than that things were going well. New director Yann Demange is already in Atlanta, where many of the MCU movies are filmed, and will start filming in about ten weeks. So nothing stands in the way of the cinema release on September 4, 2024.

“Captain America 4: New World Order”

According to Feige, the shooting for “Captain America 4: New World Order” should also start soon, the theatrical release date is May 1, 2024 here. Feige also confirmed what the sparrows are already whistling from the rooftops:

Harrison Ford won’t just replace the late William Hurt as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, Ross has even risen from general and secretary of state to president of the United States. According to Feige, it should be there an “incredible” dynamic between Ross and the new Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), who already know each other from previous films.

“Daredevil: Born Again”

The new “Daredevil” series “Born Again” should be a great example of another innovation in the MCU’s series realm: The trend should be at least partially moving away from a multi-episode story to the classic “case of the week” series format, as you know it from “Star Trek: The Next Century”. This is mainly to experiment with in “Daredevil: Born Again” – no wonder, after all, the series has no fewer than 18 (!) episodes.

“Fantastic Four”

Kevin Feige explained that the Fantastic Four are the foundation of Marvel Comics history, referring to the superhero family invented in 1961. And in the cinema, the Fantastic Four will soon play an equally important role. Feige spoke of a “big pillar for the MCU” here and announced that more concrete information would be coming soon (like which stars are played by Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm in “Fantastic Four”?).

“The Miracles”

Kevin Feige had a lot to say about “The Marvels” aka “Captain Marvel 2”, but that’s no wonder: after all, “The Marvels” will hit theaters on July 26, 2023, so he can already hit the advertising drum few.

For example, Feige explained, That Imam Vellani is an absolute scene thief with her character Kamala Khan and with her enthusiasm reminded her a bit of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. We can guess that after her amazing debut in “Ms. Marvel” imagine very well.

Feige was also very excited to see three superheroines side-by-side in this film besides Ms. Marvel, namely Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). He I had goosebumps just like when Iron Man, Captain America and Co. first met in “The Avengers“so feige.

“Moon Knight”

Feige only gave a mini-update to “Moon Knight,” but he reiterated that there is a future for the character in the MCU. Good to know for anyone wondering how Moon Knight’s journey continues after the series is relatively separate from the rest of the Marvel Universe.

“Spider Man 4”

Kevin Feige didn’t really want to say much about “Spider-Man 4” either, but he did after all, he confirmed that the movie is really coming. Although there were some reports from fairly reliable insiders, it’s really safe now. However, it will be some time before the comeback of Tom Holland’s Spider: As Feige reveals, I just started the script.

“bolt of lightning”

“Thunderbolts”, on the other hand, will be taped soon (German cinema release: July 24, 2024), which is less interesting than another Kevin Feige reveal: Because Bucky Barnes aka Winter SoldierSebastian Stan) would be the leader of the team of antiheroes and heroines. An unfamiliar new role for Bucky, who has previously been reluctant to be in the spotlight.
