With Bob Chapek in charge of\u00a0Disney, Marvel Studios had a major\u00a0issue with quantity over quality. Pushed to produce as much content as possible, we got a\u00a0lot of character introductions, albeit in\u00a0stories that frequently missed the mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bob Iger’s return and a combination of negative reviews and lower box office returns have seen Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige set out to put the\u00a0MCU back on the right track. As a result, several\u00a0movies and TV shows we anticipated seeing before Avengers: Secret Wars haven’t happened. Now, there’s no longer any room for them before the Multiverse Saga ends.<\/p>\n

In this feature, we’re taking a look at 8 big\u2014and small\u2014screen projects we’re\u00a0hoping will be prioritised in the next wave of MCU storytelling (likely the “Mutant Saga”). From sequels to team-ups, there’s an undeniably exciting mix here.<\/p>\n

8. Young Avengers<\/p>\n

\"1e4j2olr<\/p>\n

There’s no longer\u00a0enough time to assemble the Young Avengers before Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, those movies can still establish them\u00a0as one of the MCU’s new superhero teams heading into the next Phase.<\/p>\n

They won’t be that “young” by then, of course, though that concept always had a limited lifespan outside of the comics (this may also explain claims that they’ll be renamed the Champions).<\/p>\n

A movie or TV series like this also gives Marvel Studios the chance to do something significant\u00a0with Hawkeye,\u00a0America Chavez, Cassie Lang,\u00a0Ms. Marvel, Wiccan, Ironheart, Speed, and various other Phase 4\/5 characters who have been largely overlooked following their respective introductions.\u00a0

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

7. Midnight Sons<\/p>\n

\"Zzwctjxg<\/p>\n

It’s been over 6 years since Blade was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2019. However,\u00a0many people seem to forget that we’ve had a pandemic and a Hollywood strike during that time.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Marvel Studios is clearly struggling to get this movie off the ground, so heading straight to Midnight Sons, a supernatural Avengers, of sorts, might be what’s best for Eric Brooks and the other MCU characters who inhabit the supernatural corner of this world.<\/p>\n

Agatha Harkness, Black Knight, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, and Moon Knight, and among those we’d like to see\u00a0factor into this team-up. When that’s done, perhaps the Blade reboot will finally follow.\u00a0

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. World War Hulk<\/p>\n

\"S23cmbge<\/p>\n

Captain America: Brave New World\u00a0introduced Red Hulk and ultimately revealed that\u00a0The Leader was responsible for President Ross’ monstrous transformation. Both villains were ultimately imprisoned, leaving the door open for them to return one day.<\/p>\n

Rumblings of a World War Hulk (or World War Hulks) project have persisted for years. The latest\u00a0Captain America movie didn’t necessarily set the stage for Samuel Sterns to create a new wave of Hulks. Still,\u00a0Samuel Sterns’ role in Red Hulk’s rampage\u00a0means it’s still possible for Bruce Banner’s nightmare to become a reality.<\/p>\n

The Hulk teaming up with She-Hulk, Skaar, Red Hulk, and Amadeus Cho to take on The Leader’s twisted army sounds like one heck of an event to us in the post-Secret Wars MCU.

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. The Legendary Star-Lord<\/p>\n

\"Vhxge1xl<\/p>\n

James Gunn is now in charge of DC Studios and the DCU, so he\u00a0won’t be returning to Marvel Studios anytime soon. Fortunately,\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy. Vol. 3\u00a0ended by introducing\u00a0a new version of the team and promised we’d see the Legendary Star-Lord again, so let’s get to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s about time Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill took centre stage in a solo adventure, though we certainly wouldn’t say no to a cameo appearance from the other Guardians.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This feels like a great event series for Disney+ and a fun way to continue Star-Lord’s story on Earth. Heck, this could even be combined with that long-awaited Nova series. In the meantime, we’re hoping Marvel Studios finds a place for Quill in Avengers: Doomsday.\u00a0

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. The Fantastic Four 2<\/p>\n

\"Rotb2d5d<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four: First Steps grossed over $520 million at the worldwide box office earlier this year. While it wasn’t a mega-hit and turned only a modest profit, the movie performed well\u2014the team was primarily known for starring in bad blockbusters\u2014and received great reviews from fans and critics.<\/p>\n

With Marvel’s First Family set to play a major role in Avengers: Doomsday, we’d hope that a Fantastic Four sequel will be a priority for Marvel Studios in the new MCU post-Avengers: Secret Wars. There are countless stories to tell with this team, and that battle with Galactus and Silver Surfer barely scratched the surface.<\/p>\n

In the past, the Avengers movies have been enough to give connected movies that followed a boost at the box office. That alone should be reason enough for Marvel Studios to give us another Fantastic Four movie.

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Shang-Chi 2<\/p>\n

\"Uiasjrah<\/p>\n

Had plans for Kang the Conqueror not fallen apart (for a multitude of reasons), we might have already seen Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time by now. And yes, chances are the Ten Rings were once meant to be linked to a Kang Variant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Destin Daniel Cretton busy working on Spider-Man: Brand New Day (and its sequels, if recent reports are to be believed), there’s no way we’ll see a Shang-Chi sequel before the Multiverse Saga ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once it does, this character needs to step back into the spotlight. He’s confirmed for\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday, of course, but the master of the martial arts deserves another solo outing…alongside a new Iron Fist, perhaps?

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Scarlet Witch<\/p>\n

\"X8wsqvmy<\/p>\n

If social media scoopers are to be believed, the Scarlet Witch will return in the next Avengers movies under the spell of Doctor Doom. Once that’s all played out, it’s high time for Wanda Maximoff, Vision, Wiccan, and Speed to reunite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This could be a Disney+ series, but at this stage, the Avenger deserves her own feature. Elizabeth Olsen is phenomenal as this character, and, regardless of who she’s surrounded by, it needs to be her story. Between Doomsday, Secret Wars, and the Vision TV series, the stage is surely being set for Wanda’s MCU future.<\/p>\n

What’s the endgame here? The Scarlet Witch vanquishing Mephisto and getting her happy ending would be our preferred option.

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Deadpool 4<\/p>\n

\"O5rzn32y<\/p>\n

Ryan Reynolds has been playing Deadpool since 2016 (heck, it’s 2009 if you want to count X-Men Origins: Wolverine). The definitive ending of the X-Men Universe is on the horizon, and the mutants will then be rebooted for\u00a0Jake Schreier’s upcoming reboot.<\/p>\n

However, if the box office success of Deadpool & Wolverine guarantees anything, it’s that Wade Wilson will likely live to fight another day.<\/p>\n

Deadpool 4 should absolutely be a priority for Marvel Studios; the question is, what should that movie look like? It’s going to be tough topping what we saw earlier this summer, but Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe\u00a0sure has a nice ring to it. In the meantime, Reynolds is reportedly hard at work on what sounds like the long-awaited X-Force movie.
