This movie will see us meet The Fantastic Four once again, but this time, they are pitched against Galactus as the primary villain.

9. Avengers: Secret Wars
- Release Date: May 7, 2027
- Cast: TBA
- Director: The Russo Brothers
If you’re wondering what we know about Avengers: Secret Wars, the answer is even less than the Avengers: Doomsday. Although there exists a comic run with the same name, which suggests some possibilities this movie can explore with Doctor Doom as the antagonist and The Fantastic Four being the lead protagonists.
The only other relevant characters who can appear in Secret Wars are Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Star-Lord, and even Thor. But since the movie is too far away from now, some new characters might also come into play by the time Secret Wars comes out.
10. Nova
- Release Date: TBA
- Cast: TBA
- Director: TBA
Sometime back, Kevin Feige confirmed that a Nova series revolving around Richard Rider is in the works at Marvel Studios as of now, there are no plot details available since the script is still being written for the project but since Feige said that the production is three or four years out, there is a possibility that we can see a release by 2027 or 2028.
11. Armor Wars
- Release Date: TBA
- Cast: TBA
- Director: TBA
Initially, Armor Wars was to be released as a Disney+ series but was converted into a feature film in the MCU. We don’t know much about the film, but what we do know is that we will see Don Cheadle return as War Machine, who has to stand against Tony Stark’s technology that has fallen into the wrong hands.
And this time around, it will be the real Rhodey and not the Skrull we saw in the Secret Invasion Disney+ TV series. Walton Goggins will be seen reprising his role of Sonny Burch, seen last in Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania.
12. Shang-Chi 2
- Release Date: TBA
- Cast: TBA
- Director: Destin Daniel Cretton
Announced in December 2021, little information about the sequel to Shang-Chi is available. If we reference the post-credit scene from the first Shang-Chi movie, the sequel might tell the story of the origin of the Ten Rings.
Simu Li will be seen reprising his role, with the possibility of Meng’er Zhang’s return as Xu Xialing.
13. Untitled X-Men Movie
- Release Date: TBA
- Cast: TBA

A long time ago, an announcement was made by Kevin Feige about an upcoming movie revolving around the X-Men, which would be a different take on the X-Men as portrayed by 20th Century Fox. But after the pandemic, no new update from Marvel Studios came regarding this movie.
Later on, the revelation in the series Ms. Marvel that Kamal Khan is a mutant as compared to her being an Inhuman in the comics might set the stage for an X-Men movie in MCU Phase 6.
