Marvel Studios' D23 Expo panel has provided some exciting new trailers and first looks for upcoming films and series in the MCU. Having just over an hour to reveal all sorts of new details, Marvel Studios' presence at Disney's major expo comes after their significant showcase at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. As such, the D23 Expo gave Marvel the chance to go further, giving fans a greater idea of what to expect in the coming years.
At SDCC, Marvel Studios provided a rather large roadmap for the Multiverse Saga, the new overarching narrative being told across Phases 4, 5, and 6. This included two new Avengers films that will be released in 2025. However, the new Marvel panel at the D23 Expo chose to keep things more focused on 2023 and 2024, revealing new creatives, new talent, and a couple of exciting trailers for upcoming projects coming to Disney+.
As Marvel made very clear at the new D23 Expo panel, there will be no shortage of MCU content in the years ahead. Shows and movies such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Captain America: The New World Order, Marvel's Thunderbolts, Loki season 2, Daredevil: Born Again, Secret Invasion, Werewolf by Night, and many more were showcased at the event with every project getting at least one new update and/or exclusive footage. Though the D23 Expo panel also highlighted Star Wars and 20th Century Studios titles, the anticipation surrounding Marvel was high. That said, here's every announcement and trailer revealed at Marvel Studios' D23 panel for 2022.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Kicking things off with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, exclusive footage was revealed for the upcoming November film, confirming that the nation Wakanda will be protecting its valuable vibranium from the rest of the world despite its weakened position. Likewise, the new footage also featured Tenoch Huerta's Namor battling Winston Duke's M'Baku.
Iron Heart
Along with a new logo for Marvel's upcoming series Ironheart starring Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams, it was revealed that Black Panther director Ryan Coogler will serve as executive producer with the series spinning out of Ironheart's upcoming role in Wakanda Forever. Exclusive footage was also revealed for the series focusing on her studies at MIT, along with the confirmation that Anthony Ramos will be playing the magical villain known as The Hood.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania also featured exclusive footage for the 2023 film featuring a new adventure in the Quantum Realm. Not only did the clip feature Bill Murray's character, who believed Janet van Dyne had died, but it also reveals that Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror will be looking to recruit Scott Lang for a heist in the Quantum Realm itself. It was also confirmed that the next Ant-Man film will directly tie into Avengers: The Kang Dynasty coming in 2025.
Werewolf by Night
Featuring a brand-new trailer released to the public, Marvel fans got their first look at Werewolf by Night, the first Marvel Studios Special Presentation coming to Disney+ on October 7th. The series will star Gael García Bernal as Jack Russel's Werewolf by Night and Laura Donnelly as the monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone. Directed by Michael Giacchino, Werewolf by Night will be a truly unique MCU project as a black-and-white retro horror story (and will also feature the official MCU debut of the Man-Thing).
Secret Invasion
Marvel Studios also debuted the first trailer for Secret Invasion, a new series starring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, as well as Emilia Clarke and Olivia Colman in brand new MCU roles. Featuring Fury's return to Earth, the former director of SHIELD will be caught in a massive alien conspiracy involving the shapeshifting aliens known as Skrulls. Secret Invasion will begin streaming in early 2023.
Armor Wars
Along with a new logo, it was confirmed by War Machine actor Don Cheadle that Armor Wars is still happening in the MCU (having been noticeably absent at SDCC). Cheadle also revealed that Armor Wars will be taking place right after the events of Secret Invasion. Armor Wars is set to begin filming in 2023.
