WithGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3just around the corner (premiering on May 5), MCU fans don’t have to wait much longer to see what’s next for the franchise’s most popular heroes. While the first film in Phase 5,Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, stumbled after it received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, audiences are likely eager to see if the massive franchise can get back on the right path with its upcoming releases, especially fans on Reddit.
1’Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' (June 25, 2025)
Where we last left off with theGuardiansfranchise and characters, Gamora dies inAvengers: Infinity War, and a different timeline version of her character is introduced inEndgame. With no shortage of drama surroundingJames Gunn’s involvement in the film, fans will finally get to see Rocket’s character arc come to a conclusion, something Gunn has discussed in interviews aboutGuardians 3,Screen Rantreports.
Fans will also finally get the highly-anticipated anti-hero, Will Poulter’sAdam Warlock.SpideyFan914is especially excited about that character, writing how “there’s so much potential” and that they’re “insanely excited to see what Gunn and Poulter do with him.” Viewers don’t have to wait much longer to see Vol. 3 in theaters, as it premieres next month (May 5).
2’Secret Invasion' (June 27, 2025)
The Disney Plus seriesSecret Invasionsees Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) going against the Skrulls, shape-shifting beings invading the Earth. His story will be told alongside fan-favorite character Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders),Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos (previously seen in 2019’sCaptain Marvel),Emilia Clarkeas Talos' daughter G’iah, andOlivia Colmanas an MI6 agent.
Based on interviews with Feige and the overall tone of the teasers, it’s looking likeSecret Invasionwill be grittier, possibly favoring a more bleak tone over the MCU’s signature humor. This hasgeneralosabenkenobiexcited, who shares that “something more espionage forward will be good” and adds how “Jackson is all over this franchise but pretty underutilized so it’s great to see him with a larger role.”
3’The Marvels' (July 29, 2025)
Coming to theaters in November,The Marvelsis a sequel toCaptain Marvel(2019) and a continuation of the upcoming Disney+ seriesMs. Marvel.Brie Larsonreprises her role as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, the first female superhero to lead a blockbuster Marvel film. New additions to the intergalactic epic include Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) andTeyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau (the S.W.O.R.D. agent who appeared inWandaVision), who becomes Photon.
An enigmatic villain has also been cast, withZawe Ashtontaking on the role. Reddit has a lot to say about casting thus far. For one, usersugarmetimbershoped “for Carol, rather than an ensemble-based story.” The title may indicate that there are more Marvels to come, but rest assured, this is still Captain Marvel’s tale.
4’Agatha: Coven of Chaos' (Late 2023)
Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) became a household name in the MCU thanks to her supporting role in the franchise’s first-ever Disney+ series,WandaVision. Now, a dark comedy spinoff is in the works dedicated to the mischievous witch of West Lake.
Originally titledHouse of Harkness,Agatha: Coven of Chaosdoes not have a release date just yet, butWandaVisionwriterJac Schafferhas officially signed on to the project. Reddit users are responding well to the news, and there is speculation that Hahn might appear in other upcoming MCU projects as well. Perhaps – as oneRedditorexplained – there could be insight into Agatha’s centuries of magic over the course of history, considering she’s a “400-year-old witch with a good comic basis.”
5’Daredevil: Born Again' (Spring 2024)
Charlie Cox’s Daredevil andVincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin are coming back for Disney Plus' longest Marvel series yet (at 18 episodes),Daredevil: Born Again. Confirmed to be filming this year, the show is expected to finally focus on the beloved character himself, seen appearing inShe-Hulk,Echo, and evenSpider-Man: No Way Home.
There aren’t a lot of details about the plot, but that hasn’t stopped Redditors from speculating (and hoping) on the platform. A highly-upvoted comment byLR-IIdescribes an interesting potential storyline: “We see Matt rebuilding his life just after the blip, as well as another story taking place after She-Hulk.” It’s just one of the countless fan theories already on the site.
6’Blade' (June 02, 2025)
Bladeis finally getting a Marvel movie, withMahershala Aliplaying the role of the legendary character. Ali also had a small role inEternals, so it wouldn’t exactly be his debut in the MCU. Other actors cast forBladeincludeDelroy LindoandAaron Pierre.
Despite its production being a notoriously chaotic one (with directorBassim Tariq’s exit causing delays), fans on Reddit are still looking forward to the long-awaited movie.Polite_gertsums up most of the sentiments on the platform by saying “this is looking great” since “this can be the most accurate movie in terms of visuals of MCU so far” thanks in large part to “the perfect casting of Mahershala Ali” who is “a great actor.”
7’Fantastic Four' (July 16, 2025)
Spider-Man: HomecomingdirectorMatt Shakmanis bringing Marvel’s “First Family” to the MCU in 2025. This newFantastic Fourmovie could introduce supervillain Doctor Doom into Phase 5.
Marvel Studios is not revealing any casting or plot details yet, but Reddit has some ideas. Since discussions ofFantastic Fourbegan, there has been a call forThe Office’sJohn Krasinskito play Mr. Fantastic, withmatty_nicesaying “everyone should see his overall appeal.” A scientist who’s mastered both alien and human biology, Reed Richards is among the most intelligent characters in Marvel comics.
8’Echo' (TBA)
Alaqua Coxreturns as the titular character inEcho, which will follow the now-iconic deaf Native American hero’s exploits following the events inHawkeye. A trailer from D23 confirmed the return of Daredevil and Kingpin for the upcoming series, which also means thatthe fan-favorite MCU villaindidn’t actually die after the deadly explosion inHawkeye’s finale.
Not much else is known about the direction of the show or who else will appear. Despite the lack of details,lalalibraaasums up the excitement over the show, explaining how “how freaking excited [they are] about Maya Lopez and the future Echo show and where this is going to (her storyline is so good).”
9’Loki' Season 2 (TBA)
The multiverse and timeline-shattering first season ofLokihas left fans wanting more, which is why season 2 is one of the most anticipated Disney Plus series. AlongsideTom Hiddlestonplaying the title character,Owen WilsonandSophia Di Martinoreprise their roles as Mobius M. Mobius and Sylvie for the second season.
Lokiseason 1 had a mind-bending finale that left a lot of unresolved storylines and intriguing mysteries. Teasers so far for season 2 hint at more multiversal madness, which has stirred discussions among fans on Reddit.Orc_faceperfectly captures how fans are feeling after finally seeing some footage from season 2, reacting by commenting “bout freakin' time.”
10Untitled Wakanda Series (TBA)
An untitled series is in the works starring one of the MCU’s fiercest warriors: Okoye (Danai Gurira). The head of the Dora Milaje first appeared inBlack Panther, where her power and strength made her a fan favorite. Though little else is known about the project,Ryan Cooglerwill directthe spinoff origin tale.
Audiences have some idea of Okoye’s character from her role inBlack Panther, followed by appearances inAvengers: Endgame,Avengers: Infinity War, and numerous Disney+ series. But Reddit users are ready for her standalone moment, and, according toRealshow, maybe some anthological stories from “the most advanced country on Earth.”
