Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige took to Hall H at the San Diego Comic Con to give an update on the upcoming movies.
On one hand, I'm happy to know some of the titles and cast being announced; but on the other, these are mostly the projects that we already know about and not much new projects were announced.
-----------
Black Widow to start Phase 4, and is indeed a prequel - which makes sense. But this is one character that could make a comeback, moreso than say Tony Stark. But I like to think that the Phase 1 characters are now retired from the big screen for now.
Title - Black Widow
Starring - Scarlett Johansson, O-T Fagbanle, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, Ray Winstone, Rachel Weisz
Writer - Jac Schaeffer
Director - Cate Shortland
Release - 1 May 2020

The Eternals cast revealed:
Angelina Jolie to play Thena
Richard Madden to play Ikaris
Kumail Nanjiani to play Kingo
Salma Hayek to play Ajax
Bryan Tyree Henry to play Phastos
Lia McHugh to play Sprite
Lauren Ridloff to play Makkari
Don Lee to play Gilgamesh
Writer - Matthew Firpo, Ryan Firpo
Director - Chloe Zhao
Release - 8 November 2020

Shang-Chi has a cast!
Name of the unknown actor is Simu Liu, but will be a household name in a couple of years; and the official title is Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings. But more excitingly is the two-prong news that Tony Leung is also cast, and he will play the real Mandarin!
Also in the mix is Awkwafina.
Title - Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings
Starring - Simu Liu, Tony Leung, Awkwafina
Writer - Dave Callaham
Director - Destin Daniel Cretton
Release - 12 February 2021
----------
Doctor Strange title and date revealed, and also bringing back Scarlet Witch. Now this is a pair up that is interesting and exciting, as both uses powers that are closer to magic than anything else.
Title - Doctor Strange In The Multi-Verse Of Madness
Cast - Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen
Director - Scott Derrikson
Release - 7 May 2021
----------
Thor 4 title and date revealed, with Natalie Portman returning as Jane Foster.
This, I am excited. One of Portman's complaints was that Jane did not have much to do. So if she agreed to come back, Taika Waititi must have sold her a great script.
Title - Thor: Love And Thunder
Starring - Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson
Director - Taika Waititi
Release - 5 November 2021
----------
One of the biggest surprise was the announcement of the actor playing Blade, and it is going to be Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali.
----------
Also coming are sequels to Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.
And finally, Feige also confirmed that Fantastic Four is in active development, but also among other projects. But I guess this one is the one that fans are clamoring for.
