Upcoming Marvel Movies: A Timeline of Release Dates

Are you having trouble keeping track of the unreleased Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films? Well, we’ve made a little cheat sheet, so that we don’t lose track of what’s set to come.

Before we go any further, let’s just make something crystal clear: This roundup of the upcoming films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has some spoilers. I’m not going to actively tell you what’s happened in the films we’ve seen so far, but you could infer things from these blurbs that hint at the ending of Avengers: Infinity War.

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Release date: July 6, 2018

A much-needed palate cleanser after Avengers: Infinity War, Paul Rudd’s getting back in the microsaddle as Scott Lang. Lang’s still on the run after being sprung from prison in Civil War, but he’s reconnecting with old friends.

Captain Marvel

Release date: March 8, 2019

It’s hard to ignore how often the MCU films interlock, and that’s especially true with the upcoming Captain Marvel film. The film is our formal introduction to Carol Danvers, who will play the titular role in the movie.

Captain Marvel takes place during the 1990s, and will include Samuel L. Jackson reprising the role of Nick Fury, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Lee Pace as Ronan (who was dubbed Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 1) and Djimon Hounsou as Korath. Jude Law will play Mar-Vell.

Untitled Fourth Avengers Film

Release date: May 3, 2019

We used to refer to this film as Avengers: Infinity War, Part 2, but then directors Anthony Russo and Joseph Russo decided to scrap that name, saying Infinity War stands on its own. Still, Infinity War’s cliffhanger ending certainly feels like the setup for a major conclusion. As for what the film will be titled, Anthony Russo told Bustle, “We do have a name for it, we’re just not announcing it,” before elaborating, “And I think we came to that name fairly early in the development process. It speaks to the heart of the story.”

Spider-Man: Homecoming Sequel

Release date: July 5, 2019

Holland is set to come back; Marisa Tomei is possibly returning as Aunt May; and Zendaya may also reprise the role of Mary Jane. Events in film will likely take place after those of the fourth Avengers film.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3

Release date: Sometime in 2020

No matter what happens in these next movies, the galaxy will still need guarding. Director James Gunn formalized the news of the third Guardians of the Galaxy chapter in a Facebook post, and confirmed that he’ll be writing and directing the movie.

Black Panther 2

Release date: TBA

Of all the expected future MCU films, we know the least about the second Black Panther film. According to Collider, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has expressed an interest in bringing Ryan Coogler back to direct, and that Marvel will schedule the film’s production when it’s convenient for Coogler.
