It's been 5 years since the Disney Investor Day event (Marvel Studios section)

Almost all the productions announced at this event were released within a five-year period. The last one to premiere was Ironheart in June 2025. But to be honest, this announcement aged very, very badly.

The Marvels was bad

Secret Invasion was garbage.

Ironheart was meh.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special was entertaining.

But Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania almost killed the MCU.

I am Groot exists.

And again, Armor Wars never premiered 🫠

And Fantastic Four took 6 years to premiere (before this event, it had already been confirmed in 2019)

Some happened and others didn't

CommunityDragon1842025-12-10 18:27

All happened and 1 didn’t

FerrusManlyManus2025-12-10 18:36

Blade and Armor Wars are up there

Wooden_Passage_26122025-12-10 18:37

Yep. And they ain't happening

That-Technician-52712025-12-10 18:47

Blade doesn't count. Although it appeared at this event and was never released, the film was announced in 2019 at Comic-Con.

FerrusManlyManus2025-12-10 20:09

Silly arbitrary rules

CommunityDragon1842025-12-10 18:47

Maybe ya but I think we will just get blade introduced in a midnight suns movie

CommunityDragon1842025-12-10 18:48

You right tho I didn’t see blade

matty_nice2025-12-10 18:22

I miss the events. It was a good way to create hype for upcoming projects.

Now we just get chairs.

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:05

We will get events in the future. Right now we know everything that’s coming until the end of the saga so no point in announcing more

matty_nice2025-12-10 19:09

I don't think we got one for Phase 5 or 6. I think Feige mentioned they werent doing the big events anymore opting for smaller ones. I'm sure they will just do the SDCC as opposed to separate bigger events like they did for phase 3.

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:19

Sdcc is a big event though lol they did one in 2022 2023 and 2024

matty_nice2025-12-10 19:25

Sorry I'm talking about separate events like they did for Phase 3.

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:28

It’s basically the same thing

pigeonwiggle2025-12-15 18:13

they're really pulling back and taking another run at it.

Doomsday is basically 2012's The Avengers. a slow ramp-up into a nice team-up movie.

from there we'll see the new directions they might spin out into and the need for the "events" will return... ...because they'll need to announce the cast of THE REAL X-MEN (not the geriatrics they're spoonfeeding us in our retirement homes of 2026.

RoninPrime682025-12-10 18:27

The Marvels is overhated and really isnt a bad movie

Secret Invasion was indeed a massive letdown

Ironheart isn't 10/10, but isnt bad either

GoTG special was fun

Quantomania could've been better but is a very fine movie

Armor Wars probably got stuck in the same production hell Blade is in

F4 is a great movie

Marvel gave me the ability to watch cool fictional characters I love since childhood on the big screen, flesh and blood (sort of, but you get the idea) WHILE rebonding with my dad

I've been hitting since 2012

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:05

Thank you. People are so dramatic with opinions. Sometimes you’re going to miss. Even Michael Jordan had bad games

labbla2025-12-10 18:40

It's so good Marvel has stopped doing these. Giving a timeline of projects years ahead of time does not allow flexibility and really makes them look bad when things don't work out, such as with Blade and Kang Dynasty. It also takes a lot of surprise out of new things when you've been waiting around for them to happen instead of being surprised by a trailer or whatever.

Pyk_Owrno_Zes2025-12-10 18:53

It also made the post credits "[blank] will return in [blank]" pointless

veemonjosh2025-12-13 03:30

I would argue that not knowing what's coming down the line actually causes some of those to become worse as the years roll on.

Like, "The Eternals will return". Four years later, we still don't know when.

Pyk_Owrno_Zes2025-12-13 06:10

True

pigeonwiggle2025-12-15 18:04

"Starlord will return..."

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:10

That’s true. I do think they will return after secret wars. They have a plan now

labbla2025-12-10 21:57

And I'd prefer they keep the plan to themselves. That way if they have to change it it's not such a big deal.

demonoddy2025-12-10 21:58

Yeah only announce stuff that is ready for production

I’ve said for a long time we know too much about what goes on behind the scenes lol

dweeeebus2025-12-10 20:02

labbla2025-12-10 20:37

Yeah, that sort of cliffhanger will not hit as hard when you know there's another Avengers and Spider-Man coming up.

ExultantSandwich2025-12-11 00:58

It was really ruined solely by Spider-Man being dusted. At the time we didn’t really know of any upcoming projects except Far From Home, and Black Widow had a writer in Jac Shaeffer, hired at the beginning of 2018.
/

Widow survives Infinity War, and her movie ended up being a prequel anyways. Otherwise, it’s natural to assume they wouldn’t kill off Doctor Strange, Wanda, Black Panther, etc etc.
/

If they had Spider-Man live through the snap, that would have been a really cool way to keep people guessing, but that also forces the fallout from End Game to be an undeniable part of his 3rd movie.

ConfidentBurrito2025-12-10 18:42

MoonKnight - frustrating at times but overall pretty great
Secret Invasion - one of the worst things in the MCU
Ironheart - room for improvement but overall solid
Armor Wars - someday maybe
Guardians Christmas special - awesome and super fun
I am Groot - never watched
Thor Love and Thunder - disappointing...went too far in the silly direction but had the bones of something awesome
Blade - lol
Quantumania - wow this was bad
Black Panther 2 - was always a tough task without chadwick but i think they really did great with what they had
F4 - one of the best MCU movies in years

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:11

Agreed. Quantummania was okay though I wouldn’t say it was awful just meh

Purple-Nectarine832025-12-10 19:39

I Am Groot is just a series of fairly unconnected shorts about baby (toddler? Preschool?) aged Groot with minimal dialogue. They’re cute and funny (especially for kids - my two elementary aged kiddos love them). Aside from a few Easter eggs, skippable. But successfully done, imho.

BenjyX762025-12-12 21:46

Am i the only one that thinks F4 is mid? I only seen it once, maybe ineed to rewatch it...

Ya know that montage they have that shows them beating up villains? I feel like that should've been the actual movie, obviously fully fleshed out..

F4 once again fighting Galactus and the dilema of Sulver surfer just feels kinda the same, i felt like I'd know what the movie would be before i even seen it, especially with the trailer showing Franklin richards, i knew he would do THAT exact thing he does in the movie.. sorry not tryna spoil

Working_Original_2002025-12-14 09:36

He’s fantastic 4 movie by far. My issue with it is that it HAD TO WORK so they take virtually no risks with it. It’s the sterilized hospital lobby of a movie. Perfectly fine, a lot of aesthetic, not a lot of personality. We are about to see a lot of the F4 in the next few movies though, so I am optimistic that fist steps will age well like the first cap movie did for me.

pigeonwiggle2025-12-15 18:09

think them fighting the smart ape in the montage had more than enough shots and screentime for me to think THAT was the original opening act. they filmed it all, made the first action set piece - and then were told to cut it down to 2 hrs and so they scrapped 30+ minutes. that's my theory as to why the movie feels so mid. all the stuff where we REALLY get introduced to the F4 was cut from the film and instead we got a montage and radio-narrative. (also contributing to the cut - it's possible the ape slugfest with Thing wasn't looking great so they cut it and it ended up those shots were some of Ben's only action sequences, so now we have an F4 movie with barely anyTHING in it. ;)

that's my guess.

erinaceus_2025-12-10 18:44

I liked most of these. It's a bit strange that they left a blank space at the top middle, but whatever ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

-Darkslayer2025-12-10 19:02

Hot take but I enjoyed everything here that got made except Ironheart (have yet to see it) and Black Panther 2 (it felt so pointless without T’Challa).

demonoddy2025-12-10 19:04

Moon knight. Really enjoyed it I wish there was a season 2

Secret invasion. Started out okay but ended really bad

Ironheart. Really enjoyed this one

Armor wars. Never happened and probably won’t. Seems like some storylines were wrapped into iron heart and vision quest maybe even wonder man.

Fantastic 4. Yes it took a while to come to fruition but I’m glad it came together like it did. It was incredible

Wakanda forever. Really enjoyed this. It’s a miracle they were able to make this without their main character and it was still good. I actually think I like it more than the first one. Namor was a good villain and it was just well done imo

Quantummania. It was fine ,a lot of humor didn’t land and some of it was just dumb but whatever

Blade. Hopefully we get it eventually

Guardians holiday special. Cute I wish we got more specials it’s a fun treat not meant to be earth shaking or anything

I am groot. Cute. Just something fun

Thor love and thunder. Pretty disappointing especially after Ragnarok being so good.

There is a lot more good than bad. Shit happens sometimes but they are on the right track

jrm7252025-12-10 19:14

Literally forgot that Ironheart even came out.

Far_Combination76392025-12-10 19:35

I really don’t get the hate for Quantumania. I thought it was great when it came out, and still do.

That said, I agree that the pressure to release a ton of shit to impress investors is horrible for the MCU (and also every other company that does this kind of thing)

steeleleets2025-12-10 19:59

I really hope elements of *Armor Wars* appear in *Doomsday*: Doom steals Stark tech to amplify his own power and systematically deconstructs Stark’s legacy. Rhodes plays triage, cleaning up the chaos caused by StarkTech-powered baddies. Doom methodically dismantles Tony’s influence, hitting the people closest to him, Rhodes, Pepper, and Happy, hardest. Where Stark built, Doom destroys. Show Doom tearing down and bankrupting Stark Enterprises. Have him take away Rhodes’s armor even as he restores Rhodes’s ability to walk. Have Doom drive Pepper and Happy toward unemployment and attempt to corrupt Peter Parker. Doom should despise Banner and the Hulk rather than admire them.

Dell0c02025-12-10 20:30

Quantumania, Love and Thunder, and Secret Invasion demoted the exclusivity of MCU releases.

orange7slices2025-12-11 03:54

I wish I could trade Ironheart for Armorwars

AsterArtworks2025-12-13 01:26

Not seeing Ironmans best friend in anything other than a cameo since his death has been the biggest hole in the MCU for me so far.

We got everyone else’s story continued but just not war machine.

brianlefebvrejr2025-12-13 04:10

9/11 isn’t bad

FoxyMiira2025-12-14 03:36

I agree with this.

brianlefebvrejr2025-12-14 04:30

I was shown the post 2 days late. I thought it would’ve been a great line when it was freshly posted

onepostandbye2025-12-15 18:50

I AM THE WORLD’S BIGGEST FAN OF ARMOR WARS!

I believe that it could be one of the most fun, funny, exciting Marvel shows ever. The comic was GREAT. Imagine Rhodey trotting the globe, chasing down different a different tech character of the week. The battle with Crimson Dynamo would be serious. Hunting Stilt-man would be silly. Sometimes he’d have to confront a hero, which creates a moral quandary. All while Rhodey is dealing with his own legacy and relationship to Stark.

I’m telling you, this thing would be awesome!

Competitive_Cap98702025-12-18 08:23

Plz give me moonknight season 2 😭😭🙏😭🙏plz I beg u marvel.
