Marvel Studios returned to Comic-Con for the first time since 2019, and it had some major announcements in store for the future of the MCU. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige was on hand on July 23 to share some exciting new movies and TV shows as the studio heads out of Phase Four into Phase Five (and Phase Six!).

Marvel already had a full schedule announced through the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. The "Black Panther" sequel, "Wakanda Forever," is set to hit theaters this November. Then there's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which is slated for February 2023. On the Disney+ side, there's the Aug. 17 premiere of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law," and in December, there's "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special," directed by James Gunn. But that's just the beginning of what Marvel has in store for fans in the next three years.

In addition to announcing that Phase Four will come to an end with "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Feige also laid out the studio's plans for Phases Five and Six. Among the movies Marvel fans can expect to see in the near future are two new Avengers films that will wrap up The Multiverse Saga, which encompasses Phases Four-Six. Meanwhile, Disney+'s lineup of Marvel shows will continue to expand with "Secret Invasion" starring Samuel L. Jackson, "Agatha: Coven of Chaos," and a new 18-episode Daredevil series starring Charlie Cox.

If your favorite Marvel movie or show didn't get any news out of Comic-Con, don't fret. There's also Disney's D23 Expo in September, and the studio is reportedly planning to give some more major updates and announcements then. For now, read on for all of the new details about Marvel's upcoming slate of movies and shows.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2023, and director James Gunn confirmed it will be the final stand-alone film for the Guardians. According to Entertainment Weekly, Gunn almost didn't return to direct the final movie, but his desire to tell Rocket's (Bradley Cooper) origin story ultimately changed his mind.

"For a while I wasn't going to do this movie," Gunn said. "Then I came back. And the reason I knew I needed to come back was to tell this story and, in some ways in particular, I have a special closeness to the character of Rocket and I knew I needed to finish to tell his story. I knew that that was what started me on this journey, was seeing who he could be and who he was, where he came from, and the thing that grounded me initially in the Guardians."

The Comic-Con panel also introduced fans to actor Chukwudi Iwuji, who will be playing the villainous High Evolutionary in the film.
