Marvel lovers, buckle up! If you thought the MCU was already packed with epic moments, you haven’t heard the latest from Marvel insider Alex Perez. He recently jumped on Patreon for a Q&A session and dropped some tantalizing hints about what’s next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From mutants crashing the party to a fresh generation of heroes gearing up for action, things are about to get seriously exciting. Let’s unpack the most thrilling updates.
Next-Gen Avengers: The Young Ones Take Center Stage
The future of the Avengers looks young and bright. Perez shared info about leaked concept art showing Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, and Kamala Khan hanging out with Star-Lord and Wong — basically a superhero clubhouse.
And about that Wiccan and Agatha Harkness series? Perez hinted it might have evolved into a bigger project, potentially a Champions show featuring younger heroes like Kamala and America Chavez. Nothing confirmed yet, but fingers crossed!
X-Men Are Coming—and They’re Bringing the Crew
We already know some key mutants confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday (2027), including Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Beast, and Gambit. But according to Perez, that’s just the start. Expect other fan favorites like Storm, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Deadpool, X-23, and Colossus to join future Avengers films.
Bonus: Wolverine, Deadpool, and X-23 have already started making MCU waves with Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) shaking up the multiverse. Perez didn’t reveal too much, but these characters are definitely gearing up for bigger roles.
Asked about which X-Men villains might show up, Perez mentioned familiar names like Mr. Sinister, Essex, Senator Kelly, and Bolivar Trask. If you recall, Trask was featured in Days of Future Past (2014), and Mr. Sinister has been teased repeatedly in post-credits scenes. Marvel seems ready to officially bring these villains into the spotlight.
Mystery Projects, Release Dates, and Wild Theories
Marvel has some surprises up its sleeve. The rumored movie release slot for November 2026 has vanished, but July 2027 remains open. Perez speculated this could be anything — from Doctor Strange 3 to World War Hulk, or maybe even Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Also, before Avengers: Secret Wars (2028), there might be an unexpected project dropping. Perez’s clues have fans buzzing about what Marvel could be planning.
What’s Coming Next?
Keep your eyes peeled for these exciting projects:
-
Wonder Man (TBA)
-
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (TBA)
-
VisionQuest (TBA)
-
Fantastic Four: The First Steps (2025)
-
Avengers: Doomsday (2027)

War Machine’s Story — What’s Next for Rhodey?
Wondering about Rhodey’s future? Perez explained that there were plans to explore his PTSD and armor issues post-Skrull saga in a project called Armor Wars. But with that on pause, his path is uncertain.
Will Netflix Heroes and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Return?
Fans want to see Daredevil and Punisher back, but when asked about Daisy Johnson (aka Quake) from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013), Perez stayed silent. So, no hints yet on whether she’ll return.
What to Expect at San Diego Comic-Con 2025
SDCC 2025 might be a bit low-key for big announcements. Perez says Marvel will spotlight Fantastic Four: The First Steps (2025), which drops around that time. Expect updates on Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, VisionQuest, and maybe a teaser for Avengers: Doomsday (2027).
Animation fans are covered too: Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and X-Men ‘97 Season 2 could feature at the animation panel. Don’t expect massive Phase 7 reveals — Marvel wants to keep the focus on Phase 6 for now.
With mutants, new heroes, and secret projects on the horizon, the MCU’s future looks bigger and bolder than ever. Stay tuned!
