Dark Phoenix (June 7, 2019)
Universe: X-Men
Famke Janssen as the younger version of the formidable mutant Jean Grey in 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Now, she’ll star in her own movie about Jean Grey’s evolution from superhero into the villainous Dark Phoenix. The story will be set in the 1990s, and Jean will have to contend with the dark forces in her own mind.
Spider-Man: Far From Home (July 5, 2019)
Universe: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tom Holland will return in Far From Home as geeky teen Peter Parker and Zendaya will appear as Mary Jane. In the movie, Peter and his friends head to Europe for summer vacation.
Peter will face off against classic Spidey villain Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal (who once auditioned to play the webslinger himself but lost out to Tobey Maguire). Though Robert Downey Jr. played a major role in the first film as Spider-Man’s mentor, Holland has confirmed that Iron Man won’t appear inFar From Home. (N.B. The events of Into the Spider-Verse and Venom have no effect on what happens in the Tom Holland movies. Think of them all as parallel universes.)
Gambit (TBD)
Universe: X-Men
Channing Tatum has been trying to get a Gambit movie made for years. The Magic Mike actor plans to star as the New Orleans-based thief with the ability to charge inanimate objects (like playing cards) with explosive power.
Black Widow (TBD)
Universe: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Black Widow is getting a long-overdue solo movie. Scarlett Johansson has appeared in six Marvel movies, beginning with Iron Man 2 in 2010, but she has never gotten to play the lead.
