Here are the list of upcoming marvel movies in 2021
1. WandaVision (Series)
Premiere Date: January 15, 2021
What we know : Elizabeth Olsen returns as Wanda Maximoff – a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch – and Paul Bettany reappears as Vision. But how can this be? Vision died in Avengers: Infinity War and was not one of the lucky ones revived during the Second Snap. Olsen once said the series will see Wanda and Vision in a “1950s” setting, which suggests the series may be taking its cues from the 2015 Vision comic book. In that story by Tom King and Gabriel Walta, Vision created his own ideal nuclear family. It goes very wrong. At the D23 presentation in August 2019, writer Jac Schaeffer said the show will be “half-sitcom” and “half MCU adventure.” A subsequent ad aired during the Super Bowl LIV revealed Wanda and Vision will experience multiple sitcom eras, including the ’70s and ’80s – not that we’re any clearer on how Wanda is doing this or even if she’s doing it. Meanwhile, a grown-up Monica Rambeau (played by Teyonah Parris) will be there to presumably bring her back to the present. At D23, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige announced Kat Dennings had joined the cast — reprising her role as Thor’s Darcy Lewis — with Randall Park also reprising his role as Ant-Man and the Wasp’s Agent Jimmy Woo. A recent trailer also revealed That ’70s Show’s Debra Jo Rupp and actor Fred Melamed will cause discomfort for Wanda and Vision in their 1950s ideal home as a ‘Mr. and Mrs. Heart.’ And to accent the sitcom feel, Kathryn Hahn will play the “nosy neighbor” in the laugh track realities, but that same trailer featuring the Hearts also suggests there is more to her character. For one thing: she knows Vision is supposed to be dead. Though shut down at the same time as The Falcon and the Winter Solider, Marvel and Disney+ fast-tracked the series in order to debut in early 2021.
What we know: Starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the title roles and picking up from the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series will reportedly deal with Sam (Mackie) deciding to pick up the shield and the “Captain America” name Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) gave him in the film’s closing moment. Presumably, both he and Bucky (Stan) will also attempt to reintegrate into mainstream society. Emily VanCamp will return as Sharon Carter, while Daniel Brühl will reprise his role as Zemo, the man who brought down the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War. Wyatt Russell joins the returning cast as John Walker — the U.S. Agent of Marvel Comics fame. Presumably, he will be positioned as a replacement Cap even as Sam grapples with Steve’s legacy. Production began in 2019 with a scheduled August release on Disney+, but COVID-19 delays meant the production resumed just as it was meant to premiere. Marvel and Disney decided to delay the series to 2021. At the December 2020 Disney Investor’s Day presentation, Feige called the series a “cinematic experience” played out over six episodes. A trailer released at the same time definitely backed up that claim.
What we know : Tom Hiddleston will return as the God of Mischief in the Disney+ limited series Loki. The story will follow the version of the character who escaped from custody in Endgame with a divergent copy of the Space Stone. It seems he will also get access to time travel, as early photos see Loki in a 1970s New York. Divergent timelines are a hell of thing, and this will presumably be the series to examine what it means for the MCU going forward, although Disney+’s Super Bowl ad seemed to suggest Loki will once again find himself in a prison cell. Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw join Hiddleston in whatever hijinks his well-known alter ego gets into. As with the other Marvel Disney+ productions, filming was interrupted but there appears to be no great delay in release. In December of 2020, Feige referred to it as a “murder mystery” arriving in May 2021 – although the nature of the mystery will be confusing to the title character at first. A subsequent teaser, dropped at the Investors Day, only offered more mysteries as Loki finds himself a guest of the Time Variance Authority, questioned by Owen Wilson’s character, and discovering he is the real D.B. Cooper.
What We Know: In March of 2019, Short Term 12’s Destin Daniel Cretton emerged as the director of a film based on Marvel’s 1970s comic book The Hands of Shang-Chi: Master of Kung-Fu. In the comics, Shang-Chi was the son of legendary literary villain Fu Manchu. Learning the truth about his dad’s business, he used his martial arts prowess against his father and any other Marvel baddie ready to battle with his mighty hands. But considering Fu Manchu is one of the few IPs not owned by the Walt Disney Company, fans online are already speculating Shang-Chi’s father – whom Marvel later turned into a different immortal villain in the comics – may turn out to be the “real” Mandarin teased in the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray short film “All Hail the King.” At Comic-Con 2019, Marvel announced the full title and the cast, which includes Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Awkwafina, and HardBoiled‘s Tony Leung as the real Mandarin. As Disney began to consider shutting down active productions, Cretton took a Coronavirus test and self-isolated himself on March 12 of 2020 while second-unit shooting continued. His test results came back negative, but production completely shut down the next day. In early April, the film’s release was pushed back to May 2021 to accommodate the halted production and the other changes to the release schedule. In September, the film shifted again from the May 7, 2021 release date to July 9, 2021. In a post on Twitter about the change, Liu wrote, “My hot girl summer is coming you guys.”
Release Date: November 5, 2021
What We Know: In April of 2018, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed a film based on the Eternals comic book and concept was in development. Soon after, The Rider’s Chloe Zhao became its director. Based on characters and situations imagined by Jack Kirby, the Eternals are a race of fantastically powerful proto-humans engineered by the Celestials (more on them in a moment) to harness vast amounts of “cosmic energy.” Generations of infighting and wars against another Celestial experiment, the Deviants, followed. The film will center on an Eternal named Sersi (Gemma Chan) with the powers of flight, strength, immortality, and molecular manipulation. Confirmed cast members include Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Kit Harington as Dane Whitman – a.k.a. the Black Knight. The film will also feature Marvel’s first real attempt at including gay characters, as Henry’s Phastos will reportedly be married to a man and raising a child alongside him. After initially losing its November 2020 slot to Black Widow, Disney moved the film to November 5, 2021 during a restructuring of its release calendar in September of 2020.
7. Spider-man 3 (Series)
Release Date: December 17, 2021
What We Know: After a tense 2019 summer in which, it seemed, Spider-Man would blip out of the MCU again to face off against Venom (Tom Hardy), Sony Pictures and the Walt Disney Studios agreed to produce a third film with Tom Holland as Spider-Man. While the fine details of the studios’ new agreement are not known — beyond Disney reportedly increasing its share of the profits to 25% — we do know Spidey will appear in one additional MCU outside of his third solo film. But in another twist of fate, Spidey’s current troubles will be acknowledged in Sony’s upcoming Morbius, a film set in its Spider-Verse and completely separate from the MCU. (Or is it?) Spider-Man 3 was set for a traditional summer release on July 16, 2021, but Disney announced a new November 2021 slot this April, and recently delayed it once more to December 2021. In October, Benedict Cumberbatch joined the cast as Doctor Strange. Though Strange is said to fill the mentor role, his presence has fueled speculation the film may see the other Spider-Men from the previous film series. Also fueling that speculation: the addition of Jamie Foxx, who once again plays Electro – although it remains to be seen if this will be the villain from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or an MCU equivalent. And while rumors surfaced in December 2020 indicating Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire are in talks to appear, Alfred Molina was spotted on set reprising his role as Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2.
8. What IF (Series)
Premiere Date: 2021
What We Know: Based on the classic Marvel Comics title What If …?, Marvel Studios’ first foray into animation will see each episode addressing a different outcome to key MCU events – probably through the lens of those pesky divergent timelines. As an example, the first episode will ask “What if Peggy Carter took the super solider serum instead of Steve Rogers?” The answer will feature the voice of Hayley Atwell as a super-strong Agent Carter and, presumably, the voice of Evans as a 98-lb Steve who becomes the first Iron Man thanks to Howard Stark. A subsequent episode will feature the voice of the late Chadwick Boseman in an ep asking “What if T’Challa Became Star-Lord?”. Tying the series together will be Jeffrey Wright as Uatu the Watcher, the host of the What If …? comic book and the viewer’s guide into the strangest of the Marvel series for the streaming service. As this is an animated series which experienced few, if any, delays because of COVID-19, it is still on track for its 2021 release.
9. HAWKEYE (Series)
Premiere Date: 2021
What We Know: As one of the television series confirmed at the 2019 D23 Expo, Hawkeye will see Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) help to train new Hawkeye Kate Bishop – a fan favorite from comics like Young Avengers and Hawkeye. Mad Men’s Jonathan Igla was announced as the series showrunner, and early concept sketches revealed alongside the launch of Disney+ suggested the series may take its cues from the celebrated Hawkeye run by writer Matt Fraction and artists David Aja and Annie Wu.
And after nearly a year of uncertainty, the program moved into production in late November 2020 with the directing team of Amber Finlayson and Katie Ellwood (who go by the directing name Bert and Bertie) and Comrade Detective’s Rhys Thomas, set to helm several episodes. Hailee Steinfeld – long rumored for the part of Kate Bishop – soon appeared in photos and videos from the set. Vera Farmiga was also reportedly joining the show as Kate’s mother Eleanor while Alaqua Cox will play deaf assassin Echo. Other actors appearing in the series include Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, and Zahn McClarnon. Additionally, Florence Pugh is said to be reprising her Black Widow role as Yelena Belova. Also, Renner’s early December Instagram post of Clint, Kate, and Lucky the Pizza Dog more or less confirms the series is inspired by the Fraction-written comic book series. Feige finally confirmed Steinfeld’s part at the subsequent Investor Day presentation that same month. He also confirmed Farmiga, Fee, and Cox as members of the cast. Curiously, though, he made no mention of Dalton or the possible Pugh appearance.
10. Ms. Marvel (Series)
Premiere Date: Late 2021
What We Know: Based on the Kamala Khan character created in 2013 by Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, G. Willow Wilson, and Adrian Alphona, the series will introduce the popular teen Inhuman to the MCU. And as Feige put it at the 2019 D23 Expo, “You will meet her in her Disney+ series and see her in our films,” a commitment to what Ms. Marvel fans have wanted for ages. At the same time Bisha K. Ali was revealed as the series showrunner. In September of 2020, Bad Boys for Life filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, documentary short Oscar winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and Meera Menon emerged as the list of directors for the program. Shortly there after, Iman Vellani won the starring role of Kamala Khan. Production is already underway with Feige recently revealing the program is on track for a late 2021 premiere.
