After opening with a Deadpool & Wolverine dance number, we got to see a
first-look footage of next year’s Captain America movie, Brave New World. It highlights major players like Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross a.k.a. Red Hulk, who is looking to Sam Wilson to help him rebuild The Avengers. Additionally, the cast of the film revealed that
Giancarlo Esposito will be playing King of the Serpent Society, Sidewinder. Captain America: Brave New World comes to theaters February 14, 2025.
Marvel reveals first Thunderbolts* footage ahead of 2025 premiere
THUNDERBOLTS GETS FIRST FOOTAGE AT SDCC 2024.
Thunderbolts* is smashing its way into the MCU with a rag-tag team that includes Bucky Barnes’ Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), and more. Some
early footage of the film shows Yelena facing off against Ghost and John Walker (Wyatt Russell) while dealing with some personal demons. Whether or not Alexei (David Harbour) can help her remains to be seen. Thunderbolts* premieres May 5, 2025.
The Fantastic Four gets an updated title and confirmation of retro-future ‘60s setting
The Fantastic Four, now officially titled The Fantastic Four: First Steps, might be the biggest MCU movie of the last few years. It introduces Marvel's most flexible family, and during SDCC, we learned that it will be set in a retro-future version of the ‘60s. Marvel also showed off some early footage, revealing Mr. Fantastic leading an old-school science program and The Thing taking part in a dating show, ahead of its production start date this Tuesday. See Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, and Vanessa Kirby star as the Fantastic Four when it premieres July 25, 2025.
"I think we’re all collectively gunna bring an essence that is a family rather than thinking about what we individually are gonna bring," Quinn said of the film. "It’s a team sport."
Robert Downey Jr. is the MCU’s Doctor Doom
ROBERT DOWNEY JR. IS COMING BACK TO THE MCU.
WHAT?! Robert Downey Jr., the man who kickstarted the MCU and hung up his Iron Man suit in 2019, will play one of Marvel’s most infamous villains:
Doctor Doom. The Marvel legend shared a few words about the casting announcement: “New mask, same task. What can I tell ya? I like playing complicated characters.”
Joe and Anthony Russo are directing Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars
Robert Downey Jr. isn’t the only MCU veteran putting back on the cape. Captain America: Winter Soldier and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo are teaming back up with Marvel to direct Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Details on the latter are light, but Marvel says we can expect it out in 2027. Doomsday, meanwhile, seems to be the new title for what was originally Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. It’s a movie that’s also shrouded in mystery, but we at least know that it’ll bring back Downey Jr. in a big way. Expect it out in May 2026.
