Marvel Studios Announces Phase 5 Slate [Comic-Con]

After taking a hiatus for a few years due to the ongoing pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con is back to business as usual this year. With fans in attendance, some of the biggest names in all of entertainment are descending upon SoCal with exclusive collectibles, geeky gatherings, and general fandom fellowship. That also means that epic Hall H panels will return for massive announcements about some of the most exciting and highly-anticipated projects in film and television. 

Among those entering the hallowed halls for the first time since 2019 is Marvel Studios. During their last visit to the con, the House of Ideas officially shared their plans for Phase Four, including the studios' first wave of Disney+ shows, the first footage from "Black Widow," and the introduction of Natalie Portman as the Mighty Thor in "Thor: Love and Thunder." Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced earlier this summer that they would return to the stage at the Mecca of pop culture to "talk about the future" of the franchise, so many were anticipating a similar announcement about the remaining projects in this chapter like "Fantastic Four" and what's in store for Phase Five (aside from Bassam Tariq's "Blade" starring Mahershala Ali). 

And Feige certainly didn't disappoint, as the architect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe announced to the world the titles and planned release dates for MCU movies that are currently in the works.
