Vision Quest

There’s been talk of a Vision spinoff since Wanda freed Westview from her magical prison. That was in 2021. Now in 2026 he’s supposedly finally getting his own show with the working title Vision Quest. (Not to be confused with the classic Matthew Modine sports movie of the same name.)

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 (2026/27)

The Disney+ animated series is returning for a second season, but it’s not clear if it’ll make it to the streaming site in 2026 or (what we’d guess would be early) 2027. Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum has previously said he’d like a new season every year, but that in animation “there’s a bigger gap between season 1 and season 2 than in subsequent season.”

MAYBE A PHASE 6 ADDITION??!?!

Armor Wars

Remember when we were getting an Armor Wars series? Or did we just remind you? Either way, the show still has an official logo and page at Marvel.com, so maybe we’ll finally see it during Phase 6. We wouldn’t bet on it, but it at least qualifies as a “maybe.”

Black Panther 3

Black Panther 3 is definitely happening. Kevin Feige himself confirmed that at the end of 2024. Director Ryan Coogler is even writing a part specifically for Denzel Washington. But we have no idea when it will go into production, let alone when it will come to theaters. If it arrives before the end of 2027, it will be part of Phase 6.

MCU PROJECTS THAT ARE PROBABLY PHASE 7

Shang-Chi 2 and Doctor Strange 3

After an uncomfortable amount of years where no one even acknowledged the character’s existence, Marvel Studios proved they actually did remember Simu Liu’s superhero is part of the franchise when they announced he’ll appear in Doomsday. That should finally lead the way for Shang-Chi 2, but the sequel still feels a long ways away so it seems more likely to come out during Phase 7 alongside other projects like an X-Men movie and a third Doctor Strange entry.
