Ms. Marvel (2021) - Ms. Marvel, also known as Kamala Khan, played by Iman Vellani, is one of the Marvel comics' newer characters. Her character was so incredibly popular because many found her inspiring. This series is based on a young teenager trying to figure out her identity. "I never saw a young teenager of color, specifically a Pakistani in a comic book. Are you kidding?" said Head Writer and Executive Producer Bisha K. Ali.  

She-Hulk (tentatively 2022) - "Bruce Banner is no longer the only Hulk in the MCU," Marvel Studios President, Kevin Fiege announces. You heard that right, there is a new Hulk in town. Played by Tatiana Maslany, she is a lawyer who specializes in superhero legal cases. She obtains "Hulk-Like qualities" from a "gamma-irradiated" blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. Although no official release date has been confirmed, it is most likely that the premiere would air in 2022.

WandaVision (January 15, 2021) - Played by Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda, also known as Scarlet Witch and Vision, played by co-star Paul Bettany is set to have a miniseries coming to the MCU. In this series, Wanda and Vision live "idealized suburban lives," but they begin to realize something is off. With its first two episodes having premiered on January 15, 2021, it will run for nine episodes until March 5.

Blade (most likely late 2022) - Announced at Comic-Con in 2019, played by Mahershala Ali, Blade is a remake of the original that first came out in 1998. "I love that [Blade is] darker. That's ll in terms of tone. He's a little bit darker than some of the other ones and so that element was attractive to me," says Ali. The film references a superhero vampire hunter named Eric Brooks, who was born immune to vampire bites and hypnosis. Brook plans to get rid of all vampires he can find using his supernatural powers and skills.

Black Panther II (July 8, 2022) - Fans may be wondering how part two can be made with the recent passing of the Blank Panther Chadwick Boseman. Feige revealed, "His portrayal of T'Challa, the Black Panther, is iconic and transcends any iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel's past, and it is for that reason that we will not recast the character." He goes on to state, "...we want to continue to explore the world of Wakanda and all of the rich and varied characters introduced in the first film." The plot is yet to be determined, but it has been rumored that Letitia Wright's character, Shuri who is T'Challa's sister, or Winston Duke's character, M'Bak could become the new ruler of Wakanda.
