Marvel Confirm Phase 4 Films Release Dates
And when they'll reveal their official titles.
MCU Phase 4 won't kick off (officially) until 2020, with Spider-Man: Far From Home having been rebranded as the culmination of Phase 3, and it's actually not all that far away.
The likes of Cate Shortland's Black Widow film and Chloe Zhao's The Eternals have both been confirmed, while David Callaham is set to helm Shang-Chi, but Marvel have so far refused to confirm any release dates for either of those features. Even sequels to Black Panther and Doctor Strange - both widely believed to be in the works - have yet to be formally confirmed by the House of Mouse.
Judging by a press release from Disney, however, that could be set to change. The studio confirmed the dates for when their future Marvel movies will release, locking down a slate from 2020-22, but are yet to formally announce which film will fill the dates in question. The release dates are as follows:
- May 1st, 2020
- November 6th, 2020
- February 12th, 2021
- May 7th, 2021
- November 5th, 2021
- February 18th, 2022
- May 6th, 2022
- July 29th, 2022
That's eight films confirmed now, and while we can't match up the dates with each film known to be in production just yet, we do know that both Black Widow and The Eternals are the most likely films to release in 2020. After that, the likes of Guardians 3, Shang-Chi and Doctor Strange 2 should be next in line, while follow-ups to Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame are also inevitable.
Again, Marvel are yet to officially tie any film to these dates yet, but Bob Iger mentioned yesterday that announcements will come "later this summer," most likely at D23.
