Every Marvel Studios Project Coming in 2022

If you stayed until the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, you got to see the trailer for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. After the events of No Way Home, Strange is still all tangled up with the multiverse, and tracks down Wanda for help. Mordo is back to cause more chaos, and he’s brought Strange Supreme from What If…? with him. Throughout 2021, we wondered how the TV shows were going to connect to the movies, and it seems 2022 will give us answers. Will the movie just assume you watched What If…? and know Strange Supreme’s backstory or will there be a quick explainer? No Way Home set the table really nicely for Multiverse of Madness, it’s just a shame we have to wait until May.

From the moment the MCU began, fans have been waiting to see Kamala Khan in live-action. When Captain Marvel came out, the excitement got to a boiling point. Finally the studio announced Ms. Marvel for Disney+. The series stars newcomer Iman Vellani as Kamala, the MCU’s first Muslim hero, as she gains powers, figures out how to use them and decides what kind of hero she wants to be. Obviously, we don’t know if Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers will appear, but Vellani has been confirmed for The Marvels aka Captain Marvel 2, which is scheduled for release February 17, 2023.

When we last saw Thor in Avengers: Endgame, he was headed off to find himself with the Guardians of the Galaxy. We don’t know what he’s up to, but he found time to work out, because set photos show Chris Hemsworth back to looking like the Norse God he is. Taika Waititi once again writes and directs, as well as appears as Korg. Tessa Thompson is back as Valkyrie, and Natalie Portman returns to the franchise as Thor’s ex Jane Foster. She will reportedly take on the mantle of the Goddess of Thunder, like she does in the comics.

Oscar Isaac joins the MCU as Marc Spector in Moon Knight. Spector has dissociative identity disorder, with his other identities playing a role in his vigilante work. Each identity is a separate character, which should allow for a fascinating performance from Isaac. Complicating matters, Spector is also bonded with the Egyptian moon God Khonshu. We really hope the series provides a chance for the franchise to explore mental illness in the superhero world. Moon Knight signals Marvel’s step into its supernatural universe. Combined with Blade and Dane Whitman/Black Knight, we can’t wait to see where this side of the MCU goes.

Jennifer Walters is a lawyer who happens to be the cousin of Bruce Banner. When she needs a blood transfusion, there are side effects. Tatiana Maslany stars as Jennifer/She-Hulk, Jameela Jamil is Titania, one of She-Hulk’s major rivals, Tim Roth reprises his The Incredible Hulk role as Emil Blonsky/Abomination and Mark Ruffalo appears as Bruce Banner/Hulk. Jennifer specializes in cases involving superpowered people, often representing superheroes, so there’s always the possibility of fun cameos. And anyone who watched Orphan Black can tell you Maslany is great with multiple characters.

Sequels are hard under the best circumstances, but following up a ground-breaking, instant classic without the generational talent leading man is damn near impossible. Unfortunately, that’s the difficult task writer/director Ryan Coogler must take on with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Though, we don’t know who will take on the mantle of Black Panther, the leading guess seems to be Shuri. Of course, we could make strong cases for M’Baku, Nakia or even a Killmonger variant. Plus, there’s the added bonus of the film featuring the introduction of Riri Williams/Ironheart, before she gets her own series in 2023. Look, we’re going to see this regardless of what news and rumors we hear, it’s just a question of how many times.

We expected WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to be good, but What If…? was a surprise in how emotional it was, and how connected to the overall universe it is. Just check out the trailer for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. We don’t know what universes we’ll get in Season 2, but we will reportedly see the lost episode featuring Gamora defeating Thanos.

The closer we got to the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the more fans speculated about what the next major storyline would be. The introduction of the Skrulls led everyone to believe we were headed for Secret Invasion. Turns out, Marvel was saving that for a TV series. Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill and Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos are joined by franchise newcomers Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman and Kingsley Ben-Adir. The show is as advertised, following the heroes as they unravel a secret Skrull invasion. The major question is whether this story will be contained to the series or will it ripple through the MCU.

Other than fighting alongside everyone in Avengers: Endgame, then flying off to look for a time displaced Gamora, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the Guardian of the Galaxy. Before the team returns in their own movie, they’ll stop in for a holiday special full of shenanigans. We don’t know what to expect, but we imagine there will be over the top nonsense and dance parties. Perhaps, if we’re lucky we’ll get some sort of hint for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is scheduled for release May 5, 2023.
