NARRATOR: WandaVision has launched
the weird and wonderful world of Marvel's Disney+ shows.
But what does the comic book powerhouse
still have up their sleeves for the mouse house?
You'd better be ready.
NARRATOR: Oh, we are.
On this IMDbrief, with some help from Marvel Studios President
Kevin Feige, we run down everything we know about
the MCU's future on Disney+.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe divides its films into phases,
with the first three covering the formation of the Avengers,
the rise of Thanos, and the Infinity saga.
This fourth phase is the first to be intertwined with a slate
of new series premiering on Disney+, beginning with
January 2021's WandaVision.
Why would you think that?
NARRATOR: Because we asked the man with the plan,
Kevin Feige, if the boldly stylized WandaVision
would be the template for the upcoming series.
And he gave us this preview of what to expect.
KEVIN FEIGE: This is probably the most overt level.
Black and white, old-fashioned aspect ratio.
But every show that we're working on, I think,
is a bold-- a creative swing for both the Marvel Studios
and the MCU and television.
So I'm very excited about what we've already
shown on Falcon/Winter Soldier, that
is a very big-scale, epic action buddy series
that we're excited about.
Loki, we've not say much about, but it
is intriguingly different.
And I think we've called it a crime thriller, which
is not something you would necessarily
think of when it came to Loki.
And we enjoy that. We like that.
And even when you get into Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk,
She-Hulk is a half-hour legal comedy,
which is exciting for us.
And Ms. Marvel is very much unabashedly
a origin of a new superhero, but from a community
you haven't seen that kind of representation from.
And, obviously, the comics did such an amazing job
doing that with Ms. Marvel that we wanted
to bring that to the screen.
NARRATOR: OK, that's a lot to take in.
So let's break this down.
First off, hot on the heels of WandaVision
comes March's buddy action comedy, The Falcon
and the Winter Soldier, which finds Captain America's
old pal Sam Wilson, a.k.a.
Falcon, played by Anthony Mackie, and Bucky Barnes,
a.k.a.
the Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan,
teaming up to keep Cap's dreams of peace and freedom alive.
Standing in their way are pesky anarchists, the Flag Smashers,
and their former Civil War foe Baron Zemo,
played by Daniel Brühl.
What's going on in that cyborg brain of yours?
You don't want to know.
NARRATOR: In May, Loki revives Tom
Hiddleston's titular tyrant for a time-hopping crime thriller.
A softer, gentler Loki died during Infinity War,
but thanks to End Game's time heist
a past version of the still-evil Norse God
was able to nab the Tesseract after the events
of the first Avengers film.
But one can only disrupt space and time for so long
before the Time Variance Authority comes knocking.
These multiverse-monitoring time cops,
played by Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, among others,
will be on Loki's trail as he goes full tilt
on a time crime spree.
Come on.
What did you expect?
NARRATOR: Two more series are slated for 2021.
First, Hawkeye finds Jeremy Renner's Avenger
reflecting on his dark time as an assassin called Ronin
after Thanos snaps his family into dust,
while he also trains a replacement,
a young protege named Kate Bishop, who will
be played by Hailee Steinfeld.
Please consider the consequences of your actions.
OK, they're considered.
OK, we gotta go.
NARRATOR: The final 2021 series, Ms. Marvel,
is based on the wildly popular comic book series that launched
in 2014 about a fan-fiction-writing
Muslim-Pakistani American girl named Kamala Khan, who
gained shapeshifting powers.
Played by newcomer Iman Vellani, Khan idolizes
Brie Larson's Carol Danvers--
hence her inspired super alter ego--
and has already been announced as an integral role
in 2022's Captain Marvel 2.
Well, if you're ever passing back through this galaxy,
be sure to give a brother a shout.
[GRUNT]
NARRATOR: The last that Kevin Feige mentioned,
but hardly the final series they have planned,
considering the MCU is roughly sketched out through 2028,
is half-hour courtroom comedy She-Hulk
with Tatiana Maslany as the big green cousin of Bruce Banner.
Mark Ruffalo returns to Hulk out, and, surprisingly,
so does Tim Roth as gamma radiation
nightmare Abomination, from 2008's The Incredible Hulk.
[LAUGHING]
NARRATOR: There's one more 2021 series,
but this one is a little more animated than the others.
Literally.
Each What If...? episode asks, what if this big moment from
the MCU happened differently, and features many
of your Marvel favorites reprising their roles,
including the recently passed Chadwick Boseman
returning as Black Panther.
Give me the tour.
NARRATOR: On the Disney+ horizon for 2022 and beyond are
the cosmically trippy Moon Knight,
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,
arriving in time to decorate your Christmas Groot.
Secret Invasion will see Ben Mendelsohn's Skrull leader
Talos from the first Captain Marvel re-team with Samuel L.
Jackson's Nick Fury to stop, well, a secret invasion
of shapeshifting Skrull.
Plus, there are two Iron Man spin-offs in the works.
Ironheart follows young inventor Riri Williams as she
designs her own power suit.
And Armor Wars focuses on Don Cheadle's James Rhodes, a.k.a.
War Machine, trying to stop Tony Stark's tech from falling
into the wrong hands.
That's the whole story?
Yeah.
It's War Machine's story.
Oh, it was very good then.
