My Ideal Phase Seven Slate

* 2028:
* X-Men (Date specific for the MCU's 20th Anniversary)
* Daredevil: Born Again Season 4
* Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Presentation (Date specific for Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 15th Anniversary)
* Black Panther II
* 2029:
* Hawkeye Season 2
* The Fantastic Four II
* Shang-Chi II
* Champions
* 2030:
* X-Men 2
* Captain America V
* Heroes For Hire
* Avengers vs. X-Men

I think that three years might be a bit short, but the average phase length across the MCU is 3.3 years (giving both Phases 5 and 6 three years even though it's more like 2.5 years each).

Of these, the only ones that are confirmed to be in development are X-Men and Black Panther III. A sequel to Fantastic Four is reported to be happening, but it's not official yet. Daredevil: Born Again Season 4 is possible.

Jeremy Renner says that Hawkeye S2 could happen, and Hailee Steinfeld is an even bigger star now, so they should capitalize on that. Shang-Chi II is supposed to be happening, but it's on hold since Destin Daniel Cretton is working on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Champions is rumored to be happening, and they've laid seeds for it, so yeah.

X-Men 2 two years after the first one would be ideal, we don't want to wait five years for another X-Men movie. Heroes For Hire as a sequel to Luke Cage and Iron Fist would be fun. Captain America V with Julius Onah returning as director would be fun to see, they should just get Markus and McFeely to write it, because they did amazing work with the first Captain America trilogy, and Sam's character. Avengers vs. X-Men would be nice to see even though we could see some version of that in Doomsday if there's a plotline of both of them trying to keep their worlds alive.

And the thing I mainly wanted to talk about, an Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. special presentation for the fifteenth anniversary of the show would be great to see. The show ended perfectly so they don't need a revival, I saw an idea in a comments section of another post a few hours about a sequel show with a new cast of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and that would be fun, but it would be endlessly compared to the original. Bringing back the showrunners and cast for a Special Presentation for the show's fifteenth anniversary would be nice to see. It would be even better if they built up to announcing it, like a tie to AoS in Vision Quest, someone from the show guest starring in a season of Born Again, and maybe Quake in Secret Wars, and then they announce it at some point.

This’d be great but there’s no way we’re getting 3 Xmen movies in one phase.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 09:56

Fair point.

omegaphallic2025-10-25 13:07

Switch one out for Alpha Flight

InevitableWeight3142025-10-25 13:10

That would be cool. Marvel might be hesitant with that after Xmen Origins Wolverine sucked, as that seemed to be loosely based on Alpha Flight, but I’d be up for jt still

omegaphallic2025-10-25 14:41

It'll be a fresh start.

SnakeOilChampagne2025-10-26 09:20

It was not even barely loosely based on Alpha Flight, they just made the old couple James and Heather Hudson for some unbeknownst reason.

harmoniaatlast2025-10-25 21:10

You're never gonna make ~~fetch~~ Alpha Flight happen buddy

omegaphallic2025-10-25 23:30

We'll see.

Soranos_712025-10-25 20:19

Could have a couple of mutants join the Avengers like the Avengers Unity Team in the comics. The MCU can get a lot of mileage out of the "anti mutant" theme and integrate mutants throughout MCU projects in TV and film. The usual suspects will complain about "The X-Men shouldn't be political" of course....

InevitableWeight3142025-10-26 01:29

Yeah I suspect we’ll see Wolverine and Storm at least join the avengers from time to time

Consistent-Flan14452025-10-26 07:22

I know it’d never happen, but I’d love to see a show just about the kids at Xavier’s school. Just showing them going to school, using their powers to get into trouble, etc.

ModernBass2025-10-25 08:45

The fantastic 42

marvelcomics222025-10-25 10:36

Hopefully someone doesn't need to see Fantastic Four 5-Fantastic Four 41 before it

Raizard2025-10-25 08:58

A bit early for F42 and Cap5, were more overdue for Doctor Strange 2 and Thor 5. An immediate X-Men sequel might be a little too ambitious as well.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 09:57

Personally, I think that they'd want to try and push the Fantastic Four even more after Doomsday and Secret Wars, so that might happen soon. Captain America 5 might be a couple years out if it happens. Doctor Strange 3, and Thor 5 seem possible, and we could get them before.

El_Quetzal2025-10-25 10:17

i know they wanted the F4 to be a big team but after how underwhelming the film was i dont think it would be the best idea to try to push a team the general audience has little interest in.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 10:34

I don't think that either of those things are true. The film was generally recieved well, and just because it didn't do insane numbers at the box office, it doesn't mean that the GA have little interest in it.

harmoniaatlast2025-10-25 21:17

Releasing it when they did was absolutely a mistake, but yeah it was good.

Though I'd also say that movie was just not fun like people might have expected. It's perfectly good and overall gorgeous, but fuck is the movie dower. It absolutely respects the story it's telling in terms of tone, but man the next one has got to be less sad. Put Spider-Man in it or maybe She-Hulk. Someone for Sue and/or Franklin to bounce off of for levity. They need a wildcard and a story that's less.... idk existential through and through.

I realize their whole thing is saving the world from cosmic horrors, but next time needs to have more levity in the middle. I recently watched F4 and Superman with around a week in between, and man does Superman make you feel good. F4 on the other hand.... made me go hug my wife.

MishellyUser2025-11-07 08:59

All we need for the sequel to be perfect is for the characters to be slightly less perfect, for the Ben Grimm movie curse to be broken, break the less than 2 hour rule, and to never let whoever edited the first movie work on the sequel

Any-Transition952025-10-27 11:48

DS3

DatJellyScrub2025-10-25 09:09

8 years between hawkeye season 1 and 2 would be diabolical, but an unfortunate reality (if we ido ever get it)

marvelcomics222025-10-25 09:57

At earliest we're getting it in 2027, and that might not happen if they want Renner and/or Steinfeld in Secret Wars or Doomsday.

ubutterscotchpine2025-10-25 14:57

This is absolutely why Marvel is failing.

ContentAssumption2042025-10-25 09:19

Damn, 8 years between Shang Chi 1 and 2 is insane.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 09:58

I think that's the earliest it could happen, unless Destin Daniel Cretton is like James Gunn and does projects back to back with barely any breathing room.

Edboy7962025-10-25 15:25

5 years between captain America sequels

Flimsy_Method_37712025-10-26 03:15

still exists between thor movies

ContentVanilla21402025-10-25 10:07

I find it weird to give a 6-episode show a second season 8 years after the first season was released.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 10:35

I still hope it happens.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-25 19:22

I don’t think they should call it season 2. Born Again came out 7 years after original. Maybe a subtitle for Hawkeye.

El_Quetzal2025-10-25 10:13

i dont think we are getting a sequel to fantastic 4

AcanthisittaHungry722025-10-25 10:18

why

El_Quetzal2025-10-25 10:20

the film wasnt the great success marvel was hoping for. the general audience doesnt seem interested in this team, and the the team is badly cast, specially reed and sue

marvelcomics222025-10-25 10:34

The casting was great, and anyone who's seen the movie knows that Pascal and Kirby have chemistry.

El_Quetzal2025-10-25 16:35

Bad chemistry

Individual_Rabbit_262025-10-25 11:02

We are having Avengers vs X Men next year. This is top tier dumbster bin list.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 12:02

No? Next year's live action projects are:

* Wonder Man (January)
* Daredevil: Born Again (March)
* Untitled Punisher Special Presentation (TBA)
* Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July)
* VisionQuest (TBA)
* Avengers: Doomsday (December)

None of those are Avengers vs. X-Men

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-25 19:23

I believe they mean Avengers Doomsday which features the Avengers and Fox’s X-Men who may fight each other although rumoured

Mr-Fingerboel692025-10-25 11:49

MOONKNIGHT

Individual_Car78502025-10-25 12:08

Even if they announced a new big slate like that, I couldn’t get excited for it. Everything gets delayed and changed and cancelled nowadays there’s no point getting really excited for things. Maybe I’m just a jaded a-hole, but all the Marvel & Star Wars announcements over the last 5 years don’t exactly prove me wrong

tenehemia2025-10-25 12:58

That looks good but damn I hope we don't make it to 2030 without even a hint of the mystical side of Marvel.

omegaphallic2025-10-25 13:05

What no Alpha Flight?

Fawqueue2025-10-25 13:46

Replace The Champions with the introduction of a character infinitely more interesting (Nova, Ghost Rider, the proper Silver Surfer), and you're cooking.

marvelcomics222025-10-25 14:27

We already have Ghost Rider, we don't need to see Silver Surfer before we see him with Galactus, and Nova is probably still in quiet development.

ubutterscotchpine2025-10-25 14:56

And this is why Marvel is failing. Between the first three Captain America films, there were no more than three years for the first two and two years between the second and third. Your timeline places an entire five years between 4 and 5. And almost, what, eight years between Hawkeye S1 and S2? Please. 😂

marvelcomics222025-10-25 17:34

Fair point. Aside from Secret Wars, the only sequel in the whole Saga to a movie in that Saga is Brand New Day.

Unstable_Bear2025-10-25 17:05

I feel like there’s no way we’re getting a 5th Captain America in today’s political climate

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-25 19:21

It’s a solid post-Secret Wars phase. It’s definitely going to be just long awaited sequels outside of X-Men. Maybe an X-Men movie every 3 years if they’re the new ensemble for this saga. Realistically X-Men would have the May 5th date which is still 20th anniversary. I’m also hoping for a Spider-Man 5 (2028) and Spider-Man 6 (2030)

TorchwoodBoy2025-10-25 22:22

I’d throw a Scarlet Witch solo in there, I neeeed it haha! But I love your ideas!

Spiritual-South-76162025-10-26 01:46

“ might be a bit short” it isn’t. Also I’m sorry but with the x-men only 2 films a year is a terrible idea. If I remember correctly did they not say 3 films and 2 shows? Or 2 films and 3 shows? Marvel already has 4 release dates ready for 2028 so we’re getting 3-4 movies and another at least 1-3 shows

Aerynsw2025-10-26 03:21

Not a single female led project
Maybe BP3 but knowing most marvel fans they’re hoping for a recast.
Boring and uninspired

marvelcomics222025-10-26 05:01

Since this is my ideal slate, these are my ideal leads of each projects:

* X-Men (Cyclops)
* Daredevil: Born Again Season 4 (Daredevil)
* ***Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Presentation (Fitzsimmons)***
* **Black Panther III (Black Panther (Shuri's Black Panther, people need to get over it))**
* ***Hawkeye Season 2 (Hawkeye and Hawkeye)***
* ***The Fantastic Four II (Sue Storm)***
* Shang-Chi II (Shang-Chi)
* ***Champions (Ms. Marvel)***
* ***X-Men 2 (Jean Grey)***
* Captain America V (Captain America)
* Heroes For Hire (Iron Fist & Luke Cage)
* ***Avengers vs. X-Men (Jean Grey)***

So that's one female led project, four projects where a female character is the lead of an ensemble cast, one project where a female character is the co-lead, and one project where a female character is the co-lead of an ensemble cast.

Aerynsw2025-10-26 09:25

I don’t dislike any of these tho I highly doubt Jean grey being the lead of A v X but I’d rather have female led solo projects
Let captain marvel finish her trilogy
A storm solo
A Wanda solo
Echo s2
Ms Marvel s2
She hulk s2
Iron heart s2

It seems if it’s not universally liked we can’t have it anymore and there’s no room for growth and that’s not a universe I would enjoy

Like sorry but why is there a 4th DD born again when it’s ratings were not as high as Agatha ? Shouldn’t we push for a s2 for that

It should be a good mixture and quality should be the main focus idk maybe none of the ones I stated will matter post secret wars but it just feels regressive overall

marvelcomics222025-10-26 10:34

Jean Grey and the pheonix should ideally be a part of any AvX, but I do agree that more solo projects would be great. Captain Marvel 3, with Carol as the sole focus (I love The Marvels but it's not really Captain Marvel 2), would be great. Storm and any other X-Men getting solo projects in the near future I doubt because they need to establish them first, the X-Men aren't a team up, they're a team. I think Wanda's future is in a Champions project as an adaptation of the Children's Crusade and a solo movie after that would be nice. Ms. Marvel S2, I would love it, but I think whatever crossover Young Avengers/Champions thing they're doing is a priority. Echo was fine, if they want to continue that they should. She-Hulk with better writers and more of a legal comedy would be nice, Ironheart needs her story resolved in her own show. Born Again is something the fans really pushed for, and they like making it. Agatha was really good, but it was also the kind of show where you can't really do the same thing again, and evolving it would be weird, but if they wanted to I'm sure that they'd find a way.

Iisinterested2025-10-26 07:37

Swap X-Men 2 for Doctor Strange 3 and you got a deal.

jblade912025-10-26 09:12

While I'd love to see SHIELD return, its most likely characters would just appear in other shows or movies. Doubt they'll give them their own special when they didn't even consider using them for things like Secret Invasion.

Long_Ganache_13352025-10-26 16:43

I think the fantastic four is going from the retro futuristic analog 60s world to the modern MCU digital present time

batch_with_wifi2025-10-26 17:15

I'd still shoot into Spring window for Born Again. Seeing as S3 filming should commence around S2 premiere - pretty similar to S1 and S2 overlap this year, I think they'll keep to S3 premiere in March/April '27 and they may want to keep the consistency with potential future seasons (should we get them)

unreasonable-frog2025-10-28 17:41

You don’t have to wait that long for AvX.

InfiNight-light2025-10-30 10:37

No Blade? No Spiderman? No Dr Strange? No Moon Knight? No Midnight Sons?
