Marvel Cinematic Universe has made up for the dry spell last year where we got no content from the MCU during the pandemic imposed lockdown. Marvel came in strong with a scheduled content from the MCU almost every week.
We saw the beginning of Marvel’s amazing work in WandaVision first. Followed by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki and Black Widow all within the first seven months of this year. The latest Loki series sets up the future of Marvel shows and movies in Phase 4 of the MCU. Loki season 1 made way for movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness and the series, What If…? The movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania will also be connected to the show.
We also saw Marvel teasing the upcoming Thunderbolts in the already released movies and series. The team will reportedly feature Yelena Belova, Helmut Zemo, John Walker, etc.
Upcoming Marvel Ventures 2021
What If..?
Marvel Studios will be releasing its What If…? series on August 11th. The finale of Loki season 1 established the arrival of Natasha Romanoff again after the creation of the multiverse. The new trailer for the series gave us glimpses of characters like Captain Carter, Doctor Strange, T’challa and the Marvel Zombies.
There will be alternate realities in this series that will feature T’Challa as Star-Lord. This, however, will be possible because Killmonger rescues Tony Stark in Afghanistan, and Peggy Carter takes the super-soldier serum.
