Marvel continues to expand upon its cinematic universe. Aside from movies, they'll be releasing plenty of new televisions series on Netflix, ABC, and more. We're taking a look at everything Marvel has in the works, and make sure to check out our list of upcoming X-Men cinematic universe movies and TV shows as well.
Iron Fist Television Show -- March 17, 2017
The first Marvel/Netflix series to drop in 2017 is Iron Fist. It's the story of a hero who is not only proficient in martial arts but also has superhuman abilities. Early reviews of the show haven't been very positive. Star of Iron Fist, Finn Jones, responded to critics stating the show was made for comic book fans. In addition, we got an early look at the show, and you can check out five reasons to watch the series here.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 -- May 5, 2017
The most anticipated Marvel film of 2017 is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The sequel follows the team from the original film, plus a few new additions, including Kurt Russell as Star-Lord's father. You can check out the latest trailer here.
Spider-Man: Homecoming -- July 7, 2017
The new Spider-Man film featuring everyone's favorite web-slinger will be the second time the character appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the first being Civil War. Sony and Marvel are working together, and from the looks of the trailer, Homecoming looks like it will be a lot of fun. Plus. Michael Keaton is playing the villain.
Inhumans Television Show -- September 26, 2017
ABC is bringing the Inhumans to its network late this fall. Originally, it was supposed to be a film for 2018, but Marvel changed things up. However, you can catch the first episode in theaters before it airs on ABC on September 26, allowing you to more fully appreciate that it was shot with IMAX cameras. The show started production at the beginning of March, and we've already learned Anson Mount will play Black Bolt and Serinda Swan will play Medusa.
Thor: Ragnarok -- November 3, 2017
The third Thor film is coming this fall. This one will involve Hulk in some really cool gladiator-inspired armor, as well as newcomer to the Marvel cinematic universe, Doctor Strange. A few images have been released, including the Entertainment Weekly cover featuring a short-haired Thor and a new image of Cate Blanchette as Hela.
Agents of SHIELD -- Questionable Renewal
We're in the middle of the March break for Season 4 of Agents of SHIELD, and it is not apparent--yet--that it will be renewed for Season 5. Currently, ABC has not revealed any information, and with the Inhumans coming to the network, the chances of the show getting cancelled may be higher.
Defenders -- Summer 2017
Coming this summer to Netflix is the miniseries that all of the Marvel/Netflix ventures have been building towards: The Defenders. The superhero team show features Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. There isn't a lot known about the show, aside from Sigourney Weaver playing the main villain.
Punisher Netflix Series -- 2017
Punisher was such a hit during Season 2 of Daredevil that he's getting his own series. Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as Frank Castle, and while there is no release date set yet, production is underway, so it seems like Punisher may come to Netflix in late 2017.
Black Panther -- February 16, 2018
Originally slated to come out in November 2017, Black Panther was pushed back to February after Sony and Marvel started working together on Spider-Man. However, the movie looks stacked, with Ryan Coogler (Creed) signed on to direct. In addition, Angela Bassett will be playing the titular character's mother. Most recently, Marvel released the official synopsis for the film, which takes place in Black Panther's home country, Wakanda.
Avengers: Infinity War -- May 4, 2018
At one point, the next installment in the Avengers series was going to be a two-part film. As of late last year, Marvel announced that there will only be one film for Infinity War. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealed that the main character will be Thanos, who is played by Josh Brolin. Both Spider-Man and Doctor Strange will be a part of the movie, and most recently, we got a first look at Infinity War.
Ant-Man and the Wasp -- July 6, 2018
There isn't a lot known about the Ant-Man sequel slated for next year. In 2016, director Peyton Reed stated that Scott Lang will be a bigger fugitive in this newest adventure. The last time we saw Ant-Man was at the end of Captain America: Civil War, as a prisoner, with some of the other Avengers. We're guessing he finds a way to break out and is on the run for the entirety of the film.
Runaways Hulu Series -- 2018
Marvel announced that the Runaways series finally has a home on Hulu. In addition, the cast for the pilot episode was revealed. In the comics, the series follows a group of teenagers who are the children of super-villains. The kids come together to get away from their families. The release date hasn't been revealed yet, but we're thinking the pilot will debut in late 2017 or early 2018.
Daredevil Season 3 on Netflix -- 2018
Last year, it was revealed that the Netflix series Daredevil will get a third season. As of now, there is no other confirmed information. However, around San Diego Comic Con in July, there should be some news about the next season.
Luke Cage Season 2 on Netflix -- 2018
As with both Season 3 of Daredevil, Season 2 of Luke Cage was revealed at a comic convention, but there wasn't much more information about the series. More than likely, we'll see the return of Cage in 2018. More news about the show should be revealed at this year's San Diego Comic Con.
Cloak & Dagger Freeform Series -- 2018
Marvel is continues to expand its cinematic universe onto the small screen. It was revealed that Freeform, formerly ABC Family, is putting together a series based on the characters Cloak & Dagger. Because the network primarily gears its shows towards teenagers, you can expect Cloak & Dagger to have more of a young-adult feel. While there is not a release date set yet for the show, we will probably see it debut sometime in 2018.
Jessica Jones Season 2 on Netflix -- 2018
Much like Season 3 of Daredevil and Season 2 of Luke Cage, there has not been a lot of information about the newest season of Jessica Jones. Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg did talk a little bit about the season saying the titular character will be dealing with her trauma from the first season as Jones tries to move forward.
Captain Marvel -- March 8, 2019
Captain Marvel will make her first appearance in Avengers: Infinity War. While the movie is still two years away, Brie Larson was announced as the lead for the film. Originally, the film was slated to come out in 2018, but with Sony and Marvel working together, Captain Marvel was moved to early 2019.
Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 -- July 5, 2019
Spider-Man: Homecoming hasn't even come out, but Marvel has announced a sequel to the film for 2019. Star Tom Holland also revealed in an interview that they have the villain picked out for the film, but he didn't specify who.
Avengers 4 -- May 3, 2019
Originally, the fourth installment in the Avengers franchise was going to be Part 2 of Infinity War, but as it turns out, Infinity War will be a stand alone movie. As of now, there is no information about this movie, aside from its release date.
