14 New Marvel Movies Coming In 2021 & Beyond

While there were talks that Captain Marvel 2 may pick up directly after the first film and show audiences how Carol Danvers grew into the Captain Marvel role, it instead looks as if this sequel will take place in the present-day setting of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Currently pegged for a November 2022 release, Captain Marvel 2 will actually be preluded by the Ms. Marvel series that's heading to Disney+ next year. In that show, Iman Vellani will be playing the titular shape-shifting Kamala Khan, while elsewhere we've got Teyonah Parris playing an adult version of Captain Marvel's Monica Rambeau in fellow Disney+ show WandaVision.

Interestingly, both Vellani and Parris will be joining Brie Larson in Captain Marvel 2, although that's about all that we really know about the sequel right now in terms of plot.

One other thing that we do know, however, is that Nia DaCosta is on directing duties this time out. DaCosta is one of the hottest rising filmmakers in the game at the moment, and she helmed the upcoming Candyman reboot that's recently seen its release date pushed back to August 2021.
