There are quite a few Marvel movies slated to arrive in theaters in 2024, with seven films between the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and the animated Spider-Verse franchise. While the MCU is the first thing that comes to mind to most moviegoers when it comes to Marvel, some Marvel movies that are not in the MCU — Sony's live-action expansion with Spider-Man-related characters — release in the coming years, and 2024 will see how well Sony's Marvel universe can sustain itself with lesser known characters. Sony's Spider-Man Universe has released three movies so far, with Tom Hardy's Venom franchise proving itself a success with audiences.

Venom scored big at the box office with $856 million worldwide. Venom: Let There Be Carnage grossed a global total of $506.9 million, significantly less that the original, but solid numbers for a movie released amid the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, Morbius bombed with a measly $167.5 million box office run. 2024 will see if Sony can recapture Venom's success with El Muerto and Madame Web, or if MCU releases such as Captain America: New World Order and Deadpool 3 will take all the money. Sony also has a likely hit in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Here are all Marvel movies releasing in 2024.

El Muerto - January 12, 2024

First up is El Muerto, set for a release on January 12, 2024. The movie's announcement came out of nowhere, with Sony's Cinemacon 2022 presentation surprising attendees with famous singer-turned-actor Bad Bunny as the movie's lead. El Muerto will be the first Latin superhero to headline a Marvel movie, with the character being a super-powered wrestler who first fights against Spider-Man before uniting with the hero to beat the villain El Dorado.

El Muerto has only appeared twice throughout all of Marvel Comics' history, making him a peculiar choice to lead a movie. It appears like Sony's plans may have already backfired, with a recent disappointing El Muerto update from Bad Bunny stating that filming had yet to start, with the actor's rep claiming the project was "at a standstill" and later saying the movie remains “in development.” Given its January 2024 release and the fact that superhero movies normally shoot one year before their release, it appears that if El Muerto does move forward, it will have to be delayed.

Madame Web - February 16, 2024

Next year currently starts with two Sony Marvel movies, as the ambitious Madame Web swings into theaters for a February 16, 2024, release. The movie has assembled quite an entertaining cast, with the female-led Marvel adventure featuring an all-star ensemble. Madame Web's cast includes Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts, Isabela Merced, and Adam Scott. No roles have been specified at this time, although rumors point to different versions of Madame Web from the comics being in play.

In Marvel Comics, the first Madame Web is Cassandra Webb, a blind and paralyzed elderly woman who has powers that let her access the multiverse. Tahar Rahim's character being spotted with a Spider-Man-like suit on the Madame Web set might hint at a big multiverse event. Madame Web's comic book history, the vast talent of the movie's cast, and the current popularity of the multiverse in the superhero medium might make the project a hit when it premieres next year.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse - March 29, 2024

Initially conceived as two parts of the same movie, the next two entries in Sony's Academy Award-winning animated Spider-Verse movie franchise have been separated. 2023 will see the first of two sequels, with Miles Morales returning for another adventure with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, this June. Following the second movie, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse releases on March 29, 2024. Not much is known about the trilogy finale of Sony's Spider-Verse franchise at this point, with the studio keeping the movie's plot a secret as it first turns attention to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has shown that even though some Spider-Man variants from the first movie are missing from the sequel, the main trio of Shameik Moore's Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld's Spider-Gwen, and Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker is back together. While the story of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will only be known after the second film releases, it is expected that the franchise's core trio will band together yet again to deal with the ramifications of the multiverse-wide plot of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Captain America: New World Order - May 3, 2024

Following his journey to becoming Steve Rogers' successor in Disney+'s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie's Captain America: New World Order is slated for a May 3, 2024, release. The movie will be the fourth Captain America solo adventure in the MCU but the first with Mackie's Sam Wilson in the role. The character will have a hard job replacing Chris Evans' super soldier Steve Rogers from the get-go, with a very powerful foe set to be on the new Captain America's way.

While official details about Captain America: New World Order's plot are scarce, it is known that the movie will share some interesting connections to one of the earliest MCU entries, 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Hollywood legend Harrison Ford joins the film as Thunderbolt Ross, taking over the role from the late William Hurt. Ross will be the new President of the United States in the movie and will be accompanied by the return of his daughter Betty, played by Liv Tyler. Tim Blake Nelson rounds up the movie's The Incredible Hulk reunion, playing the main threat to Captain America, the Hulk villain known as the Leader.

Thunderbolts - July 26, 2024

Thunderbolts releases on July 26, 2024. There are not many official details revealed from the film, but the interesting connection between characters from separate corners of the MCU should provide an exciting angle to the Marvel movie. The Thunderbolts lineup includes Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen). The team will be assembled by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). The movie will feature a three-way reunion from the Netflix series Beef, with Jake Schreier directing, Lee Sung Jin rewriting Eric Pearson's script, and Steven Yeun starring in an undisclosed role.

Blade - September 6, 2024

Blade is a special movie for the MCU. The film did not start from an idea by Feige or Marvel Studios, but rather a pitch made by Academy Award-winning actor Mahershala Ali. The actor reached out to Feige directly, voicing his desire to play the vampire hunter in the MCU, and thus the MCU's Blade was born. Despite Ali's excitement about playing the character, Blade has had a tumultuous path to reaching the big screen. Initially slated for 2023, the movie suffered a significant delay after original director Bassam Tariq left the project, now releasing on September 6, 2024. Lovecraft Country's Yann Demange assumes the directing duties.

Deadpool 3 - November 8, 2024

Deadpool 3 will mark a new era for the MCU, with the movie set to be the first time Marvel Studios reintroduces a Fox character as the lead of an MCU movie. Deadpool 3 releases on November 8, 2024, and the film has a huge chance of being next year's biggest superhero movie release. The film marks the return of not only Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool but also Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, despite the actor saying he was done with the role in the past.

Deadpool 3's star-studded cast also includes the returns of franchise players Leslie Uggams as Blind Al and Karan Soni as Dopinder, plus the additions of Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) in undisclosed roles. Stranger Things' Shawn Levy directs the movie, based on a script from Deadpool franchise writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The movie is rumored to feature a multiverse-related plot with Loki's Time Variance Authority and Owen Wilson's Mobius showing up to capture Deadpool. The crossover of the Fox X-Men and MCU franchises on Deadpool 3 has built great anticipation for the Marvel film and the comic book giant's future.
