Deadpool 3 – July 26, 2024
The MCU enters a new era with the release of Deadpool 3 on July 26, 2024. This film marks Marvel Studios’ reintroduction of a Fox character as the lead in an MCU film, with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine.

Venom 3 – November 8, 2024
The release date of Venom 3 has been changed from June 24, 2024, to November 8, 2024.
