White Vision’s Vanishing Act

After the events of WandaVision, White Vision took off into the unknown after gaining the original Vision’s memories. Fans can look forward to Vision Quest, a sequel series slated for Disney Plus in 2026, bringing back Paul Bettany as Vision, James Spader as Ultron, and more. This should finally shed light on where White Vision has been hiding.

Shang-Chi and the Mystery of the Rings

In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the magical rings are an ancient beacon sending an unknown message. Meanwhile, Xialing takes charge of the Ten Rings, modernizing the group. A sequel is reportedly in the works, with director Destin Daniel Cretton juggling this and the new Wonder Man series. Simu Liu is also confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday, but the true purpose of the rings remains a mystery.

Sharon Carter’s Shadowy Future

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier revealed Sharon Carter as the Power Broker, though subsequent projects like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* have yet to explore her story further. While her role remains ambiguous, her character adds an intriguing layer of espionage and power struggles.

Eternals’ Cosmic Connections

Harry Styles’ Eros and Patton Oswalt’s Pip the Troll joined the MCU in Eternals, hinting at cosmic adventures ahead. The post-credits scene introduced Dane Whitman and the Ebony Blade, with Blade himself making a voice cameo, teasing the vampire hunter’s future arrival. Despite Eternals receiving mixed reviews, these elements set the stage for exciting developments.

Spider-Man’s Fresh Start and Venom’s Cameo

Spider-Man: No Way Home ended with the world forgetting Peter Parker’s identity, forcing him to start anew. A fourth Spider-Man film, Brand New Day, is on the horizon, promising a “fresh start” with Tom Holland back in action. Additionally, a tiny piece of Venom’s symbiote remains in the MCU, opening doors for possible future crossovers — though Tom Hardy’s involvement is uncertain.

Doctor Strange’s New Ally and Eye

After gaining a third eye from the Darkhold, Doctor Strange met Clea (Charlize Theron), who warned him about an incursion. Their complicated relationship in the comics suggests a future partnership, both romantically and in battle. The movie also introduced America Chavez, hinting at potential Young Avengers involvement.

Moon Knight’s Triple Trouble

Moon Knight revealed a third personality, Jake Lockley, who, along with Khonshu, eliminated the villain Arthur Harrow. While a second season hasn’t been confirmed, Moon Knight’s mystical storyline fits well with Marvel’s darker, horror-tinged projects.

Thor’s Expanding Family and New Gods

Thor’s adopted daughter and the introduction of Hercules (Brett Goldstein) set up future stories. Chris Hemsworth is ready for more Thor adventures, and director Taika Waititi expressed interest in returning if the story is “surprising and unexpected.” The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday could feature these characters.

She-Hulk’s Surprising Revelations

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law ended with Bruce Banner having a son, Skaar, and the Abomination breaking out of prison with Wong’s help. Though a second season is unlikely, these characters could appear in future MCU projects, especially with multiple Hulk-related heroes now in play.

Black Panther’s Legacy Continues

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever promised the return of Black Panther, introducing T’Challa’s secret son. Animated series Eyes of Wakanda and Ironheart continue expanding Wakandan stories. Letitia Wright is confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, and a third Black Panther film seems all but certain.

Kang’s Fate and Avengers: Doomsday

Kang the Conqueror’s storyline was complicated by Jonathan Majors’ legal issues, leading to a rework of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty into Avengers: Doomsday with Doctor Doom as the main villain. This shift leaves many Kang-related teases unresolved.

Guardians and Star-Lord’s Return

Though Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wrapped up the trilogy, an end card promises Star-Lord’s return. Director James Gunn won’t be involved, and the path forward is unclear, but cosmic Marvel adventures continue to beckon.

Young Avengers and X-Men Teases

The Marvels set up a young superhero team with Kamala Khan recruiting Kate Bishop and hinting at Cassie Lang joining. The mid-credits scene teased the MCU’s X-Men with characters like Beast and Binary appearing. This points toward a future filled with new teams and mutant stories.

Captain America’s Vague Warning

Captain America: Brave New World ended with Samuel Sterns warning about threats from “the others,” a cryptic hint that could involve multiversal dangers or characters like Doctor Doom. The specifics remain to be seen.

Daredevil’s Ongoing Battle

Daredevil: Born Again season one set up a war between Daredevil and Kingpin, with Punisher’s escape teased. Season two is scheduled for 2026, promising a darker tone and a new black costume for Daredevil.

Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four

Thunderbolts* teased conflicts within the team and a mysterious Fantastic Four ship entering Earth’s atmosphere. While The Fantastic Four: First Steps didn’t address this yet, many characters are confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, where these plotlines may converge.

Ironheart’s Magical and Tech Challenges

Ironheart left viewers with unresolved tensions involving Riri Williams, The Hood, and Mephisto. A post-credits scene hinted at possible connections to a now-shelved Strange Academy series. With no confirmed second season, Ironheart’s future remains uncertain.

Doctor Doom’s Arrival in Fantastic Four: First Steps

The mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps showed Franklin Richards receiving a visit from Doctor Doom, possibly played by Robert Downey Jr. This is a major setup for Avengers: Doomsday, where Doom will likely play a central role.

Marvel’s slate is packed with potential, but some storylines may take years to unfold, while others might never get a payoff. For now, fans can keep an eye on upcoming projects and hope these tantalizing teases find their way to the big or small screen soon.
