Kevin Feige announced a bunch of films that were previously already rumoured/reported to be in various stages of development and production but dropped a few huge surprises as well included a new Disney Plus series called Thor: Love and Thunder.

Blade (yes! You read that right. BLADE) – TBD
Starring Oscar-winning Mahershala Ali. Apart from this already stacked and exciting slate, Kevin Feige also went on to mention that there’s also Black Panther 2 and Captain Marvel 2 currently in the works. The most shocking addition to the slate is definitely Blade! Holy cow does this get me all sorts of dizzy. Blade will, of course, be a reboot to the late 90s and early 2000s version played wonderfully by Wesley Snipes. Another important thing that stands out is the lack of X-Men and Fantastic Four, which to be honest is quite expected. Kevin Feige has said that he already has a 5-year plan beyond Avengers: Endgame and that the introduction of X-Men, etc into the MCU will most likely only happen after that. Whatever the case, phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe looks to be a rocking good time.
