Kevin Feige reveals the plans for Marvel Studios’ Phase 5 and Phase 6 at San Diego Comic-Con.
MCU’s Phase 4: Remaining show and film
Marvel’s Phase 4 has only two more Marvel projects before it finally steps into a new era.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will premiere on August 17, starring Tatiana Maslany, aka Jennifer Walters. Jennifer Walters is a lawyer who’s a cousin of Bruce Banner. Bruce was forced to give her a blood transfusion when she got into an accident, leading her to get some of his Hulk powers. The show will be Marvel’s first in the TV comedy genre.
Aside from Mark Ruffalo coming back to reprise his role in this show, the new trailer showed a cameo of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil. Other MCU stars such as Benedict Wong’s Sorcerer Supreme Wong and Tim Roth’s Abomination will appear in this show.
The final Marvel show that will conclude Phase 4 before the genesis of Marvel Studios’ Phase 5 is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The emotional and powerful trailer also acts as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular role. There was nothing much revealed as to the plot of the film aside from the introduction of Tenoch Huerta’s Namor and Dominque Thorne’s Riri Williams, aka Ironheart.
We don’t know how Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will conclude Phase 4 and kickstart Phase 5, but one thing is for sure. Someone will become the new Black Panther.
