Shang-Chi and the Legend of the ten rings: February 12, 2021 in theaters
Shang-Chi will star Simu liu, along with Awkwafina and Tony Leung. It is one of the films about which we have the least information at the moment, also due to the distance from its premiere.

WandaVision: Spring 2021 on Disney+
Almost parallel to the premiere of the second film about Doctor Strange -of which you have more information a little below-, we will have the series exclusively on Disney + WandaVision. The reason? The crossing of both titles, since this second one will be focused on the Scarlet Witch (remember that her real name is Wanda) and Vision. And watch out for the first official poster, unveiled today, because it's priceless.

Thor: Love and Thunder: November 5, 2021 in theaters
The fourth installment of the God of Thunder will hit theaters in two years with Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman starring in the film. Taika Waititi will be in charge of directing a new film in which the most commented thing, for the moment, is the return of Portman as a female version of Thor -the image of the actress receiving Mjolnir, the superhero's hammer, during Comic-Con June went around the internet.

*Black Panther 2: May 6, 2022 in theaters (Phase 5?)
It has been known that Ryan Coogler will return to direct the character of Black Panther in the second installment of his story. Taking into account the good reception of the first one, it was more than obvious that he would bet on this superhero again. What we do not know is if Phase 5 of the UCM will begin with its premiere or it will finally be integrated into 4.

And here the official review. We have three other titles left, announced precisely at the D23 Expo this weekend, which will also land on Disney +. We talk about she-hulk, moonknight y Ms. Marvel, but none of them have even an approximate date. That does not stop people from speculating with the calendar ahead. Many think that given how full 2020 and 2021 titles are, Disney could reserve these three titles for 2022, after the barrage of premieres described.
With regards to big screen, you will wonder what happens with other outstanding titles that you have surely heard: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Captain Marvel 2, Fantastic Four y blades. It is speculated that all of them will be part of Phase 5, which would start with black panther 2, although there are rumors that the start of the next phase would be a few months earlier, on February 18, with the third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy. We doubt that this information will be clarified soon -there is still too much left-, but don't worry, if so, we will let you know here. Don't worry.
