Sometime later this year, if the coronavirus (COVID-19) subsides, Marvel will begin releasing its first television shows made by Kevin Feige and company. Marvel Studios completed an unprecedented series of 23 movies last year, so we’re now about to find out if they have the same kind of success on the small screen as they do on the big screen.
The answer seems to default to yes. Since Marvel has a gigantic fan base built in, their shows are going to find plenty of eyeballs. Some fans anticipate television shows more than movies.
What are the next movies and shows?
It goes without saying that any calendar for movie and TV release dates is subject to change, with the pandemic still to be contained. The MCU roster has already changed once, and may change again with speculation that theaters will remain closed until 2020, according to Insider.
On the front of the movie, Phase 4 is ready to start Black widow On November 6, the new team of The eternal February 12, 2021 Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings May 7 Spider man 3 November 5 Thor: love and thunderr on February 11, 2022, and Strange Doctor in the Madness Multiverse on March 25, 2022. Added to the board Black Panther 2 on May 6, 2022 and Captain marvel 2 on July 8, according to Screenrant.
TV shows were supposed to start airing in August with The falcon and the winter soldierBut Disney confirmed that the show would not arrive on that date and did not set a new date, Entertainment Weekly reports. The show was about to end main photography when production was closed due to the pandemic. After that it was supposed to be WandaVision later this year, and Loki, what if …? and Hawkeye next year. Also, WandaVisiony Loki they were supposed to lead to Madness multiverse somehow.
Are television shows more important than movies?

One of the reasons this is so exciting for Marvel fans is that these shows are run by Kevin Feige and his team, who drew gold from the movies. Marvel shows that had been on Netflix, particularly Reckless and Jessica JonesHe had a large following and critical acclaim, but all the television shows so far had been directed by the dissolving Marvel television unit.
A Reddit fan said: “I am more excited about television shows than I am about ATMs. Between this wanda and the winter soldier. Much yes. That is too understandable, not only because television shows are new, but also because, at least for now, television is one of the best ways to spend time.
Another fan added: “It is a completely new medium and I am curious to know what they will try. I suspect it will be a bit like Phase 1: Most people don’t look at it fondly now, but I think it’s one of the best phases because they were experimenting, trying to figure out what worked, and the tones and genres. I still hadn’t taken on that ‘Marvel approved flavor’ that would be in every movie after Avengers. I hope these programs have the same exploratory spirit. “
Fans may be reluctant to abandon old favorites
Arguably, there is another reason why fans can expect more shows than movies. The shows are mostly continuations of old favorites we’ve already met. On the other hand, the movies feature heroes that are less familiar to the masses like Shang-Chi and The Eternals. Avengers Endgame We saw the latest from Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow. Black Widow will get its prequel, but when it comes to the movies, Marvel is more about looking forward than looking back.
Understandably, fans have had a hard time letting those characters go, to the point that they dream of all sorts of ways, even dead characters could come back. And considering Final game It was about raising the dead, in a sense, that doesn’t seem like such an irrational wish.
Anyway, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr have made it clear that they enjoyed their time with Marvel, but it’s over, thank you very much. There is also news that Florence Pugh Black widow The character will be the successor to Natasha. Marvel needs to build new teams now, just like they did a decade ago when they were putting the Avengers together. Once the virus is under control, Marvel fans can have the best of both worlds in theaters and at home.
