Luckily for you, we have uncovered all the upcoming marvel movies right from the level of phase 3. This list will be regularly updated and we won’t leave any single marvel movie which is scheduled for a release.

Now, before we update you with upcoming marvel movies in 2018 and beyond, let us look back in the history of Marvel films.

It’s not longer when Disney overtook Marvel Studios. By the time Disney came to purchase Marvel, its financial condition was not at the commanding position. The company was going through a bad phase and as per the reports they even had sold off the exclusive rights to a few of their lead characters.

For example, they had no choice but to deal with Fantastic Four and X-Men to Fox. Similarly, they sold off all the exclusive rights of Spider-Man to Sony. Finally, Disney had to create franchise out of characters like Thor and Iron Man. They were obviously the lesser known characters.

If you go by the trailer of the upcoming marvel movies, it precisely suggests that Black Panther is going to unite with Black Widow, Captain America and some others and will have a fight with an alien invasion.

Along with this, a post-credit still from Black Panther suggests how Wakanda’s new and emerging policy is going to affect the Avengers’ final battle for the universe.

As Avengers Infinity War has already been released and performing well, Marvel will soon release some more films that are full of adventure. They are Ant Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Avengers 4.

For now, it looks like Marvel has no concrete plan after 2019. A lot is expected to change after some more action starts. Like you could well see the Avengers started fighting with X-Men.

Ever since Disney chose to purchase the Marvel studios, they lived with only one mission, and that was to entertain the audience with some interlocking set of characters. And they have exactly done that in a period of over 10 years.

They were successful after experimenting a lot. For example, they tried experimenting with different characters and genes by looking at the superhero formula.

They tried doing all this with several phases. Like, phase 1 ended with prestigious film ever made and titled- ‘The Avengers’. Similarly, phase 2 ended with another one titled Anti-Man. In the same ways, phase 3 is going to end with the release of Avengers 4 (untitled).

Within some time, Disney started achieving its target and at the moment, they are in a commanding position and have the power to purchase some other and favorite Marvel characters from other prestigious studios.

In the recent past, Disney and Sony united to create Spider-Man Homecoming. We hope that Sony will continue to create some other movies about interesting characters in the much anticipated Spider verse (Venom).

In spite of all the above ups and downs, there is a moment to cheer- Fox and Disney has recently announced to have collaborated and will become one entity.

Disney will soon incorporate Fantastic Four Characters and Fox’s X-Men into the Avenger’s theme and will start creating storylines from the comics. For example, fights between Wolverine and Captain America, romance between Black Panther, etc.

As we have outlined the major shakeups, please take a look at upcoming Marvel movies in 2018 and beyond.

Avengers 4 is going to be one of the upcoming marvel movies. As per Marvel Studios, it has been confirmed that the upcoming marvel movie will showcase something drastic.

They said “By looking at Infinity War, there comes the feeling of a climax, in case if you are not looking for a conclusion. The time will only tell but one thing is sure that phase 4 is going to be an entirely new thing.”

One more thing that needs to be seen is the fact that Russo brothers have still kept everything in their own proximity. But we know that all three movies- “The Wasp, Ant-Man, and Captain America” are already set long before the Avengers Infinity War.

Well, it clearly indicates that its 2019 sequel might go on the floors exactly after the previous one has ended.

Marvel Studios has the history of producing great action and adventure filled movies. And while doing so, they constantly reinforce new characters, like they recently introduced in the form of Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Chadwick Bose-man (Black Panther), etc., if they plan to assimilate them into the universe.

In addition to this, Marvel may also promote a plethora of Sidekick characters as well like Anthony Mackie (Cap), or Tessa Thompson might replace Thor.
