Marvel Studios offers a glimpse at Phase 4 to remind us they still make movies.
Despite some bumps it looks, at least for now, like Marvel's foray into television is off to a strong start. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is reportedly Disney+'s biggest series yet and both it and Wandavision each received favourable reactions from critics and fans.
But they're still in the movie game! And have graced us with a sneak peak at the next phase of films including our first look at Eternals and the titles for the Black Panther and Captain Marvel sequels:
That's a lovely little reel, and some nice sentiments from Stan Lee. I really miss the cinema and if I see the inside of one in the next five years I'll be happy.
The Eternals footage looks nice. That's certainly the cast all stood together.
The reveal of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Marvel's is a pretty exciting thing to drop out of the blue. 'Wakanda Forever' gives very little clues about the story Ryan Coogler has come up with but it feels like a nice tip of the hat to the late Chadwick Boseman.
The Marvel's suggests something of a buddy movie featuring Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan and possibly Monica Rambeau. We've seen Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris in action before and newcomer Iman Vellani will be debuting in Ms Marvel later this year. Kamala Khan is a fan favorite to say the least and her joining the film series is exciting.
The final image is another tease of the arrival of the Fantastic Four. We all got a little over excited about a potential Reed Richards cameo in Wandavision. In hindsight that "fourth time's the charm" entry is too far off for the principals to start popping up in things but with any luck there should be casting news in the next few months.
All in all a rather exciting drop for a bank holiday weekend.
