Avengers: Endgame Encore

Avengers: Endgame (which was originally released in 2019) returns to theaters beginning September 25, 2026. This exclusive re-release isn’t just a re-release, however. Feige confirmed the movie will function as an encore and precursor alike. It will feature brand-new footage in order to set the stage ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. The Avengers: Endgame re-release is meant to refresh fans’ memories — and get them even more excited — for the next major chapter in the MCU.

Feige hopes theater-goers’ enthusiasm will be ignited by the chance to relive the movie alongside other fans. After all, super hero movies aren’t just movies. They’re an opportunity to connect with our geeky community members through shared laughter and tears alike. So get ready for another epic journey with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

Ghost Rider Movie

Let’s ride! Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool & Wolverine, is back for more MCU action. Actor Ryan Gosling announced he’ll play the titular hero — a role he’s wanted to play for a long time. After working closely with Levy on the set of Star Wars: Starfighter™, Gosling and Levy couldn’t stop imagining all the ways they’d bring a Ghost Rider movie to life on the big screen. Well, Marvel Studios always proves that dreams really do come true.

Gosling shared the film’s logo, as well as a release year. Ghost Rider is expected to blaze into theaters in 2028 — with no exact month or date available at this time.

New Avengers: Doomsday Poster

Doomsday is coming — and a new poster is already here. Fans lucky enough to be inside Hall H got their own copies of this poster, plus an exclusive look at the film. Attendees also put on Doom masks and capes to welcome Robert Downey Jr. back as the titular villain. Finally, additional cast members took the stage on special podiums designated for either the X-Men or the Avengers.

Ryan Reynolds also showed up, completely in costume. He asked endless questions as well as implied he’d like a cameo in Doomsday. It had all the trappings — and absolutely legendary energy — of when Tom Hiddleston once arrived in Hall H dressed as Loki. Now that’s entertainment, folks.

Black Panther 3 Casting

The Black Panther saga is far from over. Get ready to say “Wakanda Forever” with a new Black Panther! David Jonsson steps into the suit not as a recast or replacement, but as a continuation of Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. At the end of Black Panther 2, it was revealed that Nakia and T’Challa had a son. In director Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3, David Jonsson plays their son — who has come of age and is ready to finish what his father and aunt Shuri started.

Most details are still tightly under wraps at this time. However, we know Coogler will return to direct. Additionally, Letitia Wright reprises her role as Shuri, with Winston Duke returning as M’Baku. Black Panther 3 is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on December 18, 2028.
