Black Panther and Captain Marvel sequels receive new titles and release dates

In a new video celebrating the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans got a first glimpse at footage from the forthcoming Eternals, while new title cards revealed that the Black Panther Sequel will be subtitled Wakanda Forever, while Captain Marvel 2 is now The Marvels.

The video kicks off with footage from the first three phases of the MCU, playing underneath narration from the late, great Stan Lee, who states “That man next to you; he’s your brother. That woman over there; she’s your sister. We’re all part of one universe that moves ever upward and onwards to greater glory.”

The trailer then moves into Phase 4 with new footage from Black Widow (coming July 9, 2021), and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (September 3, 2021), while we get a first – very brief – look at the likes of Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan and Kumail Nanjiani in Eternals (November 5, 2021).

There’s also an official synopsis for the latter at Marvel.com which explains “Eternals features an exciting new team of superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient beings who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, the Deviants.”

The footage then takes us forward in release order via the title cards for Spider-Man: No Way Home (December 17, 2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (March 25, 2022) and Thor: Love and Thunder (May 6, 2022).
