Marvel Teases Phase Four With Title Reveals And New Footage

Marvel are gearing up for a return to the big screen as it teases several upcoming films in an epic trailer.

With cinemas reopening across the world, several studios are celebrating the magic of the silver screen experience with teasers for their upcoming movies. And of course, Marvel had to get in on the action releasing an awesome teaser.

Starting off with a look back at the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) so far, we are also treated to a clip of the audience reaction to Avengers: Endgame on opening night – an emotional moment.

Watch the video here:

Once we have taken that trip down memory lane, Marvel then unleashed a look at the films that will form Phase Four which included a few new reveals.

Here’s the lowdown:

Eternals

Marvel Studios

Perhaps the highlight of the video was the short first look at Eternals, the highly anticipated film from recent Oscar winning director Chloé Zhao.

Eternals will introduce a whole host of new heroes to the franchise starring Richard Madden as Ikaris, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Lia McHugh as Sprite and Salma Hayek as Ajak.

We got a look at this all-star cast in the brief glimpse which featured Jolie’s Thena wielding a golden sword, and plenty of beautiful scenery (Zhao clearly putting her stamp on the project).

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Marvel Studios

A sequel to Black Panther has been in development for a while now with writer/director Ryan Coogler hard at work preparing to shoot.

We now know though the film will be titled Wakanda Forever, with a release date of 8th July 2022 scheduled in.

No other details have been revealed yet but that title alone has us welling up!

The Marvels

Marvel Studios

Marvel also announced the title for the upcoming sequel to Captain Marvel which has been revealed to be scheduled for release on 11th November 2022.

Titled The Marvels, the name points to the fact Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers will be joined by Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel) after the new young hero has made her debut in her upcoming Disney+ show.

Teyonah Parris’s Monica Rambeau from WandaVision also stars, with Candyman’s Nia DaCosta helming the project.
