The upcoming movie lineup in the Marvel Universe by 2028 might include some grand productions starring beloved characters and fresh faces from the franchise. Notably, Marvel Studios has postponed “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” while also announcing adjustments to their 2026 and 2027 schedules. The changes have resulted in a February 2026 movie being removed, and the dates of two MCU films for November 6, 2026, and November 5, 2027, were swapped to make room for unnamed Disney projects instead.
Despite facing the setback of losing three Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films during those years, the MCU is still scheduled to debut three as-yet-unnamed movies in 2028, with dates for these films already marked on the calendar: February 18, May 5, and November 10. Marvel Studios has kept tight-lipped about which characters might headline these upcoming MCU flicks, but given that 2026 and 2027 releases have been scrapped, it seems plausible that some familiar faces from popular MCU films could make a comeback for the studio’s covert 2028 projects. These potential 2028 MCU movies could feature:
10. Black Panther 3
1) The Black Panther series has produced two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s top-grossing films. In 2018, Black Panther surpassed $1 billion in earnings and remains the sole Marvel Studios film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Meanwhile, the more recent release, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, earned $859.2 million globally in 2022.
It’s reasonable to expect that “Black Panther 3” will be one of Marvel’s clandestine films scheduled for release in 2028, given the franchise’s achievements and the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) penchant for trilogies. The project has seen recent advancements, with Denzel Washington joining the MCU in a yet-to-be-disclosed role, and the production of “Black Panther 3” officially underway. Additionally, Shuri is set to continue her journey within the MCU.
9. X-Men
A new Marvel Cinematic Universe film underway is the reboot of the X-Men franchise by Marvel Studios. As per updates, the script for the upcoming X-Men movie is being penned by Michael Lesslie, who previously worked on “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.” It’s also been suggested that Jake Schreier, known for directing Thunderbolts, might be tapped to lead the X-Men movie project.
It seems that the X-Men, led by Fox, will likely make an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, or possibly in both upcoming Avengers films, indicating Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may be exploring how mutants fit into the broader universe. The upcoming X-Men movie could take place immediately after Avengers: Secret Wars, introducing a revamped version of the original mutant characters and paving the way for new, uncharted territory in the franchise.
8. Deadpool And X-Men Team-Up
aside from “Avengers: Doomsday” and the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe’s X-Men remake, there is another mutant-themed film underway at Marvel Studios. According to reports, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds is penning a script for a collaborative film that would bring Wade Wilson together with several X-Men characters. Reynolds is not interested in spearheading another Deadpool movie but rather taking on a supporting role moving forward.
Given that Deadpool and Wolverine broke records as the highest-grossing R-rated films ever, I strongly believe that Ryan Reynolds’ ideas should carry significant weight at Marvel Studios. This could pave the way for a swift greenlighting of the project, potentially slated for release in 2028. Deadpool seems ideally suited to introduce some of the MCU’s fresh X-Men characters, gradually familiarizing the audience with them via a beloved hero.
7. Doctor Strange 3
It appears that Doctor Strange 3 might be under development at Marvel Studios, as Benedict Cumberbatch hinted at its production in January by asking, “Who do you want to write and direct the next one?” Given that Doctor Strange plays a crucial role in the Multiverse Saga, this film could potentially be an essential piece of the story.
Given these circumstances, it seems fitting that he would take charge of the trilogy’s final installment following his character’s involvement in the next two Avengers films. The success of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which grossed approximately $955.8 million, came very close to surpassing the prestigious $1 billion threshold. Therefore, “Doctor Strange 3” appears to be a logical choice for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s release schedule in 2028.
6. Scarlet Witch
One significant element that contributed to the box office success of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was the character Elizabeth Olsen portrays, Scarlet Witch. Although Wanda Maximoff is depicted as deceased within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), her resurrection or reappearance has been hinted at in various MCU projects. For instance, “Agatha All Along” provides numerous such hints.
There are some comic book narratives that connect the Scarlet Witch with Doctor Doom, which could provide an interesting angle for the upcoming MCU Avengers films if they decide to reintroduce her. Following the popularity of ‘WandaVision’ and the upcoming ‘Doctor Strange’ sequel, there have been whispers about a potential solo movie for the Scarlet Witch, suggesting that Marvel might be considering delving deeper into this connection.
5. Thunderbolts* 2
It appears that “Thunderbolts” may not have achieved the box office success Marvel was anticipating for the movie. However, it has garnered positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Marvel seems to be pleased with the film’s narrative and cast, and director Jake Schreier is reportedly being considered for the MCU’s X-Men reboot. Given this positive response, a potential “Thunderbolts 2” could still happen.
| Confirmed Thunderbolts Cast Member | Character The Actor Plays |
|---|---|
| Sebastian Stan | James “Bucky” Barnes, A.K.A. The Winter Soldier |
| Florence Pugh | Yelena Belova, A.K.A. Black Widow |
| Wyatt Russell | John Walker, A.K.A. US Agent |
| David Harbour | Alexei Shostakov, A.K.A. Red Guardian |
| Hannah John-Kamen | Ava Starr, A.K.A. Ghost |
| Olga Kurylenko | Antonia Dreykov, A.K.A. Taskmaster |
| Julia Louis-Dreyfus | Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine |
| Lewis Pullman | Bob (Sentry/The Void) |
| Geraldine Viswanathan | Mel |
By that time, I, as a fan, would have been cheering for my beloved New Avengers team in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They graced our screens in blockbusters like “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” performances that, if repeated, could potentially catapult their sequel’s box office success beyond the heights reached by “Thunderbolts.” Characters like Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes have already won our hearts, and with the Multiverse Saga concluding, I eagerly anticipate a larger role for this dynamic duo in the MCU.
4. Blade
The upcoming Blade movie featuring Mahershala Ali is currently stuck in a stage often referred to as “development limbo” in Hollywood. Announced back in 2019, this project has faced numerous setbacks including multiple director and actor changes, along with revisions to its storyline over the years. Marvel Studios has taken Blade out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming releases, effectively postponing the film indefinitely. If the movie is still planned with Ali as Blade, it might not hit the screens until 2028.
It seems more suitable for character development if the Multiverse Saga concludes prior to the release of Blade, as this standalone project or film delving into the supernatural aspects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) might benefit from a focused narrative. Given the current timeline, 2028 would be the soonest the MCU could feasibly accommodate such a storyline in this manner.
3. Shang-Chi 2
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I can’t help but express my excitement about the potential growth of the Shang-Chi franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) over the coming years. In an exciting turn of events, Simu Liu will reprise his role as our beloved hero in none other than Avengers: Doomsday, with the talented Destin Daniel Cretton taking on a significant role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This cross-collaboration promises an intriguing blend of storylines and characters, making me eagerly anticipate the unfolding cinematic journey.
The pair may come together again in the year 2028, as that seems like the ideal time for a “Shang-Chi” sequel. Although no release date has been set yet, Simu Liu has stated that Marvel intends to produce “Shang-Chi 2”. This could mean that the film might be connected to the Avengers‘ events, potentially featuring other heroes joining forces with Shang-Chi.
2. The Fantastic Four 2
Marvel Studios is largely concentrating on sequels and major events at present, following Disney’s directive to reorient the studio after the controversial releases in the Multiverse Saga. Consequently, it seems logical that there might be just a 3-year gap between the initial release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and its sequel.
In the upcoming Avengers films, The Fantastic Four are expected to take center stage, given their highly-anticipated debut in the MCU and the storylines like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. This could make them among the most beloved heroes by 2028, which might lead to a Fantastic Four sequel in 2028 having a good chance of raking in over $1 billion at the box office.
1. Captain America 5
Brave New World didn’t perform exceptionally well at the box office, by then, the character will have starred in two Avengers movies with significant roles under his belt. Additionally, a plot that emphasizes Sam more, without heavy Hulk aspects, could contribute to the success of the sequel.
Captain America is a vital hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Given this significance, the new portrayal of the character by Sam Wilson should consistently feature. If the speculation that Avengers: Secret Wars will restart the MCU is correct, it might also provide an opportunity for the franchise to introduce a fresh actor as Steve Rogers, alongside Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. This would make the upcoming MCU event an absolute must-see.
