Marvel Studios’ latest movie, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” grossed over $1 billion.
Marvel’s next release, “Captain America: Brave New World,” is scheduled for release on February 14, 2024.
Two more “Avengers” sequels and a “Fantastic Four” movie are also on the way.

The following list contains Walt Disney Studios’ theatrical film slate as of August 9, 2024.

Marvel is back on top after “Deadpool & Wolverine” made over a billion dollars.

Fans were worried about Marvel’s future after a series of poorly-received movies and TV series, production delays, and the firing of the actor who was supposed to play the next big villain.

But its latest release, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” is now the second highest-grossing film of the year and speeding toward taking over “Inside Out 2.”

Amid the success of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Marvel has made multiple announcements that have capitalized on the renewed interest, including the return of beloved actor Robert Downey Jr.

Here’s what to know about Marvel’s upcoming releases.

February 14, 2025: “Captain America: Brave New World”

“Thunderbolts*” cast includes Florence Pugh, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour and Wyatt Russell. Jake Schreier, standing on the left of Stan, will direct the film.

While we await the next “Avengers” movie, Marvel is releasing a new antihero group next year.

The Thunderbolts are a ragtag bunch of characters we’ve seen introduced in various movies and Disney+ shows. Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) will all star in the upcoming movie. The group basically seems like Marvel’s version of the Suicide Squad.

The plot of “Thunderbolts*” has not yet been revealed, but it likely has something to do with the new hero introduced in the film, Sentry (Lewis Pullman). Sentry is one of the most powerful heroes in Marvel comics so, hopefully, the Thunderbolts team isn’t fighting him.

Geraldine Viswanathan is playing an undisclosed character, while Ford will reprise his role as Ross in the movie.

July 25, 2025: “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”

“Blade” is scheduled for November 2025 despite reports that the film is still stuck in development.

The film was first announced at SDCC in 2019, with Mahershala Ali taking over as the human/vampire hybrid Blade. Wesley Snipes originally played Blade in a movie trilogy that launched in 1998.

Ali’s Blade was first teased in a post-credit scene of “Eternals.”

THR reported, citing unnamed sources, that Mia Goth is the only other actor still attached to the film after the script underwent multiple changes over the last three years. The movie currently has no director after Bassam Tariq left in 2022 and Yann Demange dropped out in June.

THR also reported, citing unnamed sources, that Eric Pearson, who worked on “Thunderbolts*” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” is currently writing a new draft for the film.

May 1, 2026: “Avengers: Doomsday”

This film will close out phase six and will likely wrap up the Multiverse saga, pushing Marvel into a new age.

There are also four untitled Marvel movies on the calendar, one of which will likely be “Armor Wars.”

According to Disney’s updated release calendar, as of August 2024, there are four more untitled Marvel movies on the way. It’s possible an “X-Men” reboot will appear among these titles in the future.

In September 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported, citing an unnamed source, that Don Cheadle’s Disney+ series, “Armor Wars,” will be turned into a movie. It could be one of the untitled films.

The next Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movie or a sequel for “Shang-Chi,” “Doctor Strange,” “Black Panther” or “Thor” could also be released on one of these dates.

Below are the dates attached to these untitled films:

February 13, 2026
