Marvel's Game-Changing MCU Panel Teased: What Can We Expect at Comic-Con?

The Russo Brothers andMarvel Studiosare teasing something pretty big on social media. San Diego Comic-Con is next week and everybody is wondering what they’re all going to announce. There have been some whispers, but just like everything the studio does, this is all shrouded in mystery and Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are starting to get antsy. Marvel Studios hasn’t been to Comic-Con since 2017, and a lot has changed since then. There' a lot to celebrate and even more to discuss.

TheComic-Conpanel with the Russo Brothers is all set to take place on Friday, July 19th, at 11:00am. The video that the directing duo shared is just audio of them dropping the iconic first footage ofInfinity War. Joe and Anthony Russo will more than likely be taking a victory lap after the amazing success ofInfinity WarandEndgame, so the day will be filled with celebration as the last movie continues to crawl to the highest grossing movie of all time throne.

As forMarvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, that panel will take place on Saturday. The long-talked about standaloneBlack Widowmovie is already in production and has been for weeks, officially announcing that will be a no-brainer. The other big one isThe Eternals, which has been in development for quite some time now. Chloe Zhao is set to direct with Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, and Millie Bobby Brown will reportedly star.Shang-Chiis also on the slate and it will be the first MCU project ever fronted by an Asian lead. Destin Daniel Cretton is set to direct.

Doctor Strange 2andGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3will also more than likely be announced. With that being said, we could possibly get some teaser footage from theBlack Widow moviesince it has been in production. It’s a long shot, but Marvel Studios likes to share pretty big surprises. Elsewhere, we may get our first look at some of the new characters in the aforementioned projects through concept art, which is how they unveiledCaptain Marvel. Regardless, it’s going to be a huge event when Kevin Feige takes the stage to address the MCU devotees.

In addition to all of the additions to the MCU, there have been a lot of subtractions at the same time. Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. are not there to run the show anymore and Scarlett Johansson will probably be gone afterBlack Widow, meaning our heroes are going to look a lot different from what we have seen over the last decade. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Marvel Studios navigates the mysterious Phase 4 of the MCU.
