The last Marvel release,”Falcon and the Winter Soldier” ended more than a week ago and if you’re waiting in anticipation like me, need not worry because Marvel has a jam packed year ahead of us.

Firstly we have the the show “Loki” which is coming out June 9, 2021. This Disney+ exclusive will follow the MCU’s God of Mischief after the time-traveling mishaps“Avengers: Endgame.” The trailer shows Loki being recruited by an organization called the Time Keepers that fix alternate realities.

The new Black Widow movie, releasing on July 9th, has been pushed back multiple times due to the covid 19 pandemic and will be the first movie of Marvel’s phase 4. The movie is going to discuss Natasha Romanoff’s journey to becoming an Avenger and her family background. It will take place between the events of “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War”,  diving into Romanoff’s past including her experience at the the Red Room training facility. In addition to Scarlett Johansson, the movie will also feature David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov or The Red Guardian, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, O-T Fagbenle as Mason, and Rachel Weisz as Melina.

New character alert! “Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings” will be Marvel’s first kung-fu movie. Some of the leads include Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians, The Farewell, Ocean’s 8) and Simu Liu (Kim’s Convenience, Pacific Rim). (Check out this teaser)

Next up we have “Eternals”. The comics tell the story of humans being made into god-like aliens known as Celestials. This movie feature an impressive cast list starring 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, Gemma Chan as Sersei, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Kit Harington as Black Knight ,and Angelina Jolie as Thena. Also “Game of Thrones” fans will realize that Kit Harington and Richard Madden starred in that series together as well. Oscar winner
Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) is directing this movie.

Marvel has  been tight- lipped about “Spider-Man No Way Home”. They haven’t released a trailer or revealed if pre-MCU spidermen (Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire) will be in the third installment. However, the movie is expected to pick up where the last one left off, when everyone knows Peter Parker’s secret identity and blames him for a terrorist attack in London. This film will also expand on the multiverse concept that Marvel has been hinting towards, featuring characters from the pre-MCU Spider-Man movies, such as Jamie Foxx’s Electro from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2.

Umm what?! That video gave me goosebumps. The use of Stan Lee’s narration really adds to the emotion of this video. The end of the clip reveals that the upcoming Black Panther movie is going to be titled “Wakanda Forever”. This movie is going to be a tribute to Chadwick Boseman and I’m hoping that it will not disappoint!
