BP3 and X-Men would be a hell of a way to start off the next saga of the MCU. Maybe Spider-Man 5 might also be added to 2028 if they continue releasing spidey movie every 2 years.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 17:08
Yep, I believe the same. And maybe Fantastic Four 2 in the December 2028 date they reserved this summer.

It did pretty good numbers in the box office, much better than all Marvel movies this year, and was actually one of the most inexpensive movies they have produced in the last few years, which means it had a high ROI. Disney+ numbers are pretty much inconsequential on whether a movie is gonna get a sequel, because higher numbers doesn't actually mean more new subscriptions, hence more money.
Cute_Source54172025-12-10 18:44

KostisPat2572025-12-10 19:02
Ok, it doesn't have to be such a phenomenon to get a sequel
eagc72025-12-10 20:51
Its FF had done 200-300M yeah no sequel
but at 500M its in a safe place to get a sequel and Marvel even seems to think a sequel could do better numbers after the audience that skipped FF gets to see them in Avengers which will likely do bigger number than recent MCU projects.
now if FF2 does worse, then yeah that's the end of the road.
CaptHayfever2025-12-10 21:42
A whole bunch of these very-new always-negative accounts popping up lately. Hmm.
Commercial_Site6222025-12-10 18:19
That would be 4 movies. Then again Spider-Man can do 3 years off, Fantastic Four would be wise to coast off Doomsday and Secret Wars (would probably benefit it’s box office).
Edit: mentioning that one should be pushed back because 4 is just too many.
CaptHayfever2025-12-10 21:39
They'll probably pencil in FF 2 (or Strange 3), & then bump it back to 2029 if Sony insists on having Spidey 5 out in 2028.
RoliePolieOlie__2025-12-10 21:45
No thanks on fantastic bore
Linnus422025-12-10 19:45
I expect Spider-man 5 and F4 II in 2029.
I think you can afford to wait since Holland Spidey is liable to play a big role in Secret Wars. So sure he might be 3 Years between his solo movies but only 2 Years since you last saw him on the Big Screen.
OnlinePosterPerson2025-12-10 19:55
Or better yet get things back on track and finally green light the sequel to marvels most daring film post endgame
PaymentTurbulent1932025-12-11 19:46
This would be incredible.
I do hope that after this, and X-Files, Coogler does more original work for awhile, because I'd like to see what he can create. Sinners was amazing.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 17:07
According to leaks, it seems BP3 is scheduled for the Feb 18, 2028 slot and X-Men for the May 7, 2028 slot, which has also been the common sentiment across fans due to the level of development those movies are in.
What do you guys think the November 10th and December 15th slots will be for?
I personally believe they will scrap the November slot and December 2028 will be Fantastic Four 2, which the trades revealed was already in early development before the first movie came out and hypothesized that the date might have been specifically reserved for it. I also believe Sony will once again ask for a Spider-Man movie to be released every 2 years, meaning July 2028 might also be when Spider-Man 5 is released, although Marvel said they will do 2-3 movies per year from now on, so I'm not sure about that.
Hopefully 2029 is Shang-Chi 2, Dr. Strange 3 and Midnight Suns, which have all reportedly been in development since 2022. Blade is probably not happening any time soon.
BKWhitty2025-12-10 17:22
The concept that we may have to wait eight goddamn years for a sequel to Shang-Chi is infuriating to me
OnlinePosterPerson2025-12-10 19:12
Or worse, waiting that long for the Eternals to get a sequel
BKWhitty2025-12-10 19:28
As an Eternals enjoyer, it's not gonna happen. My hope is that they get some significance in something like a second season of Marvel Zombies (it would be neat to see how that battle between Ikaris and Zombie Carol began, not to mention how critical Sersi and Druig could be in a zombie apocalypse).
GillGruntFan532025-12-10 19:15
I don’t think a Shang-Chi sequel is happening at all anymore. Marvel’s plan for one was too connected to Kang rather than being its own thing and DDC seems placated by working on other characters like Wonder Man and Spider-Man instead. I think we’ll get more Shang-Chi, but as a supporting character in other movies rather than reviving his franchise (like Hulk).
BKWhitty2025-12-10 19:39
I mean, they can absolutely pivot and do something not Kang related. There's nothing saying they can't just ignore the "the rings are sending a beacon" bit and just do something centered around the pocket dimension Ta Lo exists in. I've been telling anyone who will listen about how badly I want a sequel to feature the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities because we can get Iron Fist back (in a supporting role cause we know he ain't likely to get his own show or movie again after how the Netflix shows went) and who doesn't love a good tournament arc?
GillGruntFan532025-12-10 19:45
Oh yeah, they absolutely could and they should do something else. I’m saying that Marvel only thought of the Kang idea for a sequel and when that fell through, nothing else really screamed at them as much as that concept did.
In short: lack of imagination killed Shang-Chi 2
starpendle2025-12-10 20:14
Yeah the fact it was so Kang centered apparently is baffling because Shang-Chi introduced a new and interesting corner of the MCU already with his heritage. I want to see what they do with his sister now that she's reforming their father's organization to her liking.
Soranos_712025-12-11 16:22
If they want to focus more on quality rather than quantity then they really need to go the comic book route of team up films. Sam Wilson showing up in Ant Man while a cameo at least gave some screen time to an existing character while establishing some sort of dynamic with the main character of the film. They gave screen time to Sam Wilson, a mini series and he becomes Captain America and "poof" until he got a solo film. Same with Shang Chi, hell have him pop up in Daredevil at least.
Darrensucks2025-12-12 02:53
Thank god. I don’t have anytime for a Chinese superhero. Anti dirty virus man maybe?
LRedditor152025-12-10 17:59

So the Fantastic Six. Or are we multiplying? Fantastic Eight?
mmwpro63262025-12-10 18:19

TheMoorNextDoor2025-12-10 18:45
Fantastic Four : The Next Leap.
fisheggsoup2026-01-09 05:23
It's actually squared, so: Fantastic Sixteen or Fantastixteen.
CommunityDragon1842025-12-10 18:13
Doctor strange 3
Linnus422025-12-10 19:23
I think they scrap one of Nov or Dec...if a third MCU comes out in 2028. I expect it to come out in the Summer...I think they want a few months to build anticipation for the X-men.
I think Ideally You have BP3 in February...Dr. Strange 3 in May and X-men in Nov or Dec.
Soulwarfare422025-12-11 15:03
I think November slot will be for the final Thor film. Considering Chris Hemsworth isn't going to play this guy forever but clearly seems interested in doing one more film so Thor can get a proper send off
December will be strapped IMO
Additionally, Spider-Man 5 will come out in July 2028 I believe
Illustrious-Coat35322025-12-10 17:17
They need to recast T’Challa.
BKWhitty2025-12-10 17:24
The hope is that, with all the wibbly-wobbly time and multiverse stuff happening between Doomsday and Secret War, T'Challa II may be aged up to take on the mantle
GotMoFans2025-12-10 17:34
… with Damson Idris.
NervousAd32022025-12-10 21:14
Damson & Denzel together will reinvigorate the BP franchise
matty_nice2025-12-10 17:34
That's not really a good solution.
mrbaryonyx2025-12-11 00:21
you should know by now users on this sub don't like it when characters get an emotional send off; they like it when they stick around forever and ever
Linnus422025-12-10 19:03
I don’t give a damn about the Child. Multiverse saga should be used to bring back the real deal.
Philander_Chase2025-12-10 17:36
Give it up already lmao, it ain’t happening
matty_nice2025-12-10 17:38
Marvel said they would never recast Tony Stark, but now they said they will.
Hard to think we will never get T'challa again in a film. Never is a long time.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 17:55
They already "recast" T'Challa with T'Challa the second at the end of Wakanda Forever.
matty_nice2025-12-10 17:59
That's a new character, not a recast.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 18:15
But this is their way of recasting. It was pretty clear from the start.
matty_nice2025-12-10 18:20
I wouldn't agree. But agree to disagree.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 18:26
Whether you personally like it or not, this IS their way of recasting. They essentially made a new character called T'Challa who lost his father and is gonna become the new Black Panther. Not much different than the first T'Challa's (or comics T'Challa's) origin story.
matty_nice2025-12-10 18:33
It's not about disliking. It's about their intention and if it was clear.
To me, introducing T'challa Jr is a way to show that Shuri is not alone and the family will continue through them both. Story comes first.
It's not about aging up the characters, or a time jump, or even recasting to where Jr is gonna be the lead character in the future.
Once they've committed to recasting Tony and Steve, there are no sacred cows. Recasting everyone is an option. Marvel went back to their original intent, which is to evergreen things and recast.
This is the same problem fans had before, where they said Tony Stark would NEVER be recast. It's impractical. Eventually we will.
When we get a Black Panther cartoon or roller coaster, who's gonna be the character? I don't think it will be the son.
KostisPat2572025-12-10 19:01
>When we get a Black Panther cartoon or roller coaster, who's gonna be the character?
Yes, the son. The son will be the main character, the main Black Panther. Just like Cap and Tony as you say, through T'Challa's son, they have recast T'Challa. That was clearly the intent. At least to me, that seemed very, very clearly like the intent. They wouldn't have named him T'Challa too if it wasn't. That's what sealed the deal for me.
LordZoldyck2025-12-10 18:18
That’s why they put “recast” in quotes. Them introducing t’challah jr. is obviously their way of continuing on the mantle of ‘t’challa as black panther’ without actually having to recast him.
FreeStall422025-12-11 10:55
It might as well be a recast
Philander_Chase2025-12-10 18:12
I didn’t say never. But it ain’t happening for BP3, that’ll be a Shuri film
Darth_Korn2025-12-10 17:55
Isn't it too late for that? They already established him dying.
Linnus422025-12-10 19:01
It’s the multiverse saga and post the secret wars. Don’t really see what the in universe limitation would be.
Tipop2025-12-10 23:02
We had three Spider-Men on screen at once, all played by different actors.
We had five Lokis, and one was an alligator, another was a woman, and another was a kid.
There’s plenty of room for new actors taking up old characters.
smileymn2025-12-10 18:07
I saw somewhere the plan was to have a new Black Panther with the Secret Wars reboot
the_explorer20032025-12-10 18:19
It's over man let it go
matty_nice2025-12-10 17:19
I was hoping it would be before Secret Wars. 2028 is a long way away.
If SW leads to a reboot aka reset, it's the perfect time to recast T'challa.
I'm guessing now Coogler does something else, then leaves Disney to sign with any other studio.
urgasmic2025-12-10 17:55
I hope xfiles is still happening
smileymn2025-12-10 18:07
Looks like it from everything I’ve been reading
Bleh-Boy2025-12-10 18:03
I wonder if BP3 will be treated as the epilogue to the Multiverse Saga rather than the start of the next saga. I imagine the next saga will be centered around mutants so starting it with X-Men makes the most sense to me.
DonyStenless2025-12-10 18:50
Maybe Secret Wars will be the start of the next saga
BatmanForever232025-12-10 20:32
Secret Wars is confirmed for Phase 6, so no.
eagc72025-12-10 20:48
I think Black Panther 3 will be the start of the next saga. i mean even if say mutants is the focus of the next saga, they never started a saga with a film centered on that saga's main topic
BiddyKing2025-12-11 02:40
Also I can absolutely see them having Storm in BP3
eagc72025-12-11 03:28
Yeah, even if BP3 is not a mutant centric movie to kick off the alleged Mutant Saga, you can still bring mutants in a supporting role like someone like Storm as you said, heck we already have Namor in the 2nd film who is a mutant, if the next saga is all about mutants even if we kick it off with a movie that is not about mutants, you could also use Namor in the third film to set up what's to come in the post-SW era
BiddyKing2025-12-11 02:39
Nah I’m very certain they will introduce Storm in BP3 and that’s how it will be connected to the mutant saga
Bleh-Boy2025-12-11 02:51
Good call
Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-12-11 12:24
Black Panther movies deal with global politics. It would be very interesting to see this post-Secret Wars universe where now mutants are thriving. And possibly a breaking point between Wakanda and Talokan vs the rest of the world.
MasterWinston2025-12-10 18:09
Whats scheduled for 2027? Just Secret Wars?
KostisPat2572025-12-10 18:15
Yep
And Born Again S3, YFNSM S3 and X-Men '97 S3 on Disney+
ImBusyGoAway2025-12-10 19:27
YFNSM?
KostisPat2572025-12-10 19:29
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
BiddyKing2026-01-09 06:26
Late here but VisionQuest will absolutely be in 2027 too. They’re acting like it’s coming soon-ish but they still have the two show per year mandate and Wonder Man and Born Again s2 are already taking that slot. They’ll probably advertise it for after the Doomsday boom for people to watch January that year
KostisPat2572026-01-09 06:31
There's no real "mandate". Iger and Feige have just revealed that their general plan is 1-2 live action shows, and 2 animated shows per year. But they absolutely can deviate from that plan from time to time. Plus Wonder Man was initially scheduled for 2025, and they only decided to move it later in order to not have to compete with Stranger Things and Holiday movies.
VisionQuest has been confirmed for 2026 and unless they officially delay it like they did with Wonder Man, that's when we should expect it.
And considering it's probably gonna drop all its episodes at once (or maybe spread it across 2-4 weeks instead of 8 like they did with Ironheart and YFNSM), I don't see why they can't make that date.
BiddyKing2026-01-09 06:42
We’ll see but I also think Doomsday having been put at the end of the year will also impact VisionQuest potentially being moved to early 2027, because I’m assuming Wanda won’t have a presence in Doomsday but VisionQuest will end with Vision and the boys embarking to go find her and she’ll make her return in Secret Wars
KostisPat2572026-01-09 06:45
Yeah, most likely, but that doesn't mean it has to come AFTER Doomsday.
BiddyKing2026-01-09 06:47
Yeah true. Similar to however Brand New Day will connect to these next couple Avengers films
matty_nice2025-12-10 18:18
Yep.
Marvel needs to start filming a year before a movie is released, so it's possible they start filming something for a 2027 release soon. But at this point, it would probably have to be something with a creator attached. BP3 and X-Men are the only ones with someone attached. Both of those seem less likely.
eagc72025-12-10 20:47
Filmwise, yes its just Secret Wars, they removed a July 2027 film they had planned and by this rate if there is an extra MCU film we should've heard something by now
Westender162025-12-10 18:13
And blade is when?
BiddyKing2025-12-11 02:42
Blade will be after BP3 when Coogler finishes his trilogy. I think Marvel execs realised they already have the one slot attributed to a black character which is why they’ve let Blade flounder and they’ll only be willing to finally do it once Coogler’s done his third Black Panther film (and a sufficient gap of time after that)
Wrong-Vermicelli47232025-12-11 14:59
I doubt Coogler a lock for blade, people assume so just because he’s done a vampire movie.
fisheggsoup2026-01-09 05:25
Why would they have to limit the number of "black character" movies? This isn't even a thought when the characters are white.
BiddyKing2026-01-09 06:08
Well yeah I agree but these Disney execs are racist fucks
itzjamez12152025-12-11 02:51

Hope we get to see T'challa II as BP in this one. No shade at Shuri, but she's not nearly as interesting as the other main characters in the franchise.
Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-12-11 08:00
Most people are hinting that it’s coming out Feb 2028. It’s a little too soon as Secret Wars will have been playing in theaters for 2 months and the saga had just concluded. Maybe it can start with X-Men in May for 20th MCU anniversary and then BP3 in July/November
KostisPat2572025-12-11 08:01
They ain't gonna miss the chance to have BP3 come out on the 10th anniversary of the original film.
Besides, Far From Home came in theaters 2 months after Endgame, so I don't see the problem.
ChildofObama2025-12-11 08:13
Given Coogler and Steinfeld just got critical acclaim from doing Sinners together,
I could see Kate Bishop getting written in.
Wrong-Vermicelli47232025-12-11 15:01
Think it’s more likely she written into something else, like spider-man 5
sanddragon9392025-12-12 09:53
If it's post-Secret Wars, then maybe it's with the 'new' T'Challa? Or at least, introduces him?
StrongStyleDragon2025-12-12 10:26
Can’t wait to see Shuri again. Wouldn’t even know where the story can lead.
Commentaires
but at 500M its in a safe place to get a sequel and Marvel even seems to think a sequel could do better numbers after the audience that skipped FF gets to see them in Avengers which will likely do bigger number than recent MCU projects.

I also believe Sony will once again ask for a Spider-Man movie to be released every 2 years, meaning July 2028 might also be when Spider-Man 5 is released, although Marvel said they will do 2-3 movies per year from now on, so I'm not sure about that.
