Most people watching the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth certainly noticed a shot of a T-rex skeleton in the park visitors center, with a bold banner behind it. The banner, which reads, “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth,” seems to be coming down, which at first seems like a callback to the ending of the […]

The Sony Spidey-verse may be dead (for now), but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is poised for a rebound. Building off of the excitement of Deadpool & Wolverine and X-Men ’97 in 2024, Marvel hopes to keep things going with high-profile projects The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the revival series Daredevil: Born Again.

The rest of Phases 5 and 6 look just as good, including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, a pair of big Avengers movies, as well as TV series Wonder Man, Ironheart, and more.

If you’ve been a little confused by Marvel’s shifting dates and streaming priorities, never fear! We’ve got a comprehensive release calendar for you here detailing all the upcoming MCU projects, so you’ll always be able to find the latest updates when you need them.

Let’s take a look at everything that Marvel has in store for the next few years, and any lingering projects from the Marvel Studios-Sony partnership…

Captain America: Brave New World

Release Date: February 14, 2025

For most of its production, Captain America: Brave New World seemed like a cursed project. It spun out of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which had a mixed reception, and was plagued with everything from a controversial subtitle and character to multiple reshoots. The latest round of revisions added a whole new character in Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder, leader of the terrorist group the Serpent Society.

But then the first trailer dropped, which promised not only ’90s political thriller action but also Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross turning into the Red Hulk. Then, footage from SDCC confirmed that the movie will finally deal with the Celestial Tiamut, last seen protruding through the Earth’s crust in Eternals. And then, the same footage revealed that Tiamut would be the source of adamantium, further teasing the arrival of the MCU Wolverine.

All of that information has turned Captain America: Brave New World into one of the most anticipated films of 2025. Written by FWS alums Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson and directed by Julius Onah, Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson in a new and badass Captain America costume, alongside Tim Blake Nelson as the Leader, and Shira Haas as Israeli superhero Sabra.

Daredevil: Born Again

Release Date: March 4, 2025

Matt Murdock returns to the Marvel fold once again in 2025, this time for a nine-episode season on Disney+. We’ve already seen Charlie Cox play lawyer Matt and his alter ego Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Echo, the last of which also featured Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin.

But now the duo gets the spotlight, with a storyline that sees Fisk running for Mayor of New York City. Matt will be joined by Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and Jon Bernthal as Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, and the Punisher, respectively, and Mohan Kapur will appear as Kamala Khan’s father Yusef, Matt’s client. Wilson Bethel returns as Dex Poindexter, now in full Bullseye garb, and the series adds Nikki M. James as fellow lawyer Kristen McDuffie and Kamar de los Reyes as vigilante White Tiger.

After a long production process that saw the original showrunners canned and the finished material scrapped, current showrunners Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (lately of Loki) are ready to bring Daredevil home to the MCU.

Thunderbolts*

Release Date: May 2, 2025

No, that’s not a typo. The official title (at least at this point) of the Thunderbolts film is Thunderbolts*. What that asterisk means is still unclear, but smart money is on the team becoming the Avengers, at least the morally-ambiguous team known in the comics as the Dark Avengers.

In the comics, the Thunderbolts are villains who masquerade as heroes and take advantage of the public’s trust. However, the film version directed by Jake Schreier and co-written with Beef‘s Lee Sung Jin is about a black ops team that CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) has been assembling across projects such as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Led by Bucky, this version of the Thunderbolts consists of Ghost from Ant-Man & the Wasp, USAgent from The Falcon and the Winter Solder, and Red Guardian, White Widow, and Taskmaster from Black Widow. The team gets together to deal with a man called Bob, who is probably the Sentry.

Ironheart

Release Date: June 24, 2025

The first series to explore the legacy of Iron Man and Tony Stark in the MCU, Ironheart stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a teenager at M.I.T. who creates her own suit of armor to right the wrongs of the world. She’s already made her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and will definitely be a character to keep an eye on as the MCU evolves.

Anthony Ramos (In The Heights) will play Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, as the primary villain of this series. We think The Hood could have a big future in the MCU and explain why here if you know little to nothing about him other than he’s a great card in Marvel Snap. Now that the name Mephisto has been spoken in Agatha All Along, maybe Marvel’s devil will final
