\"\"<\/a>Loki series season 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re huge fans of Loki around here, and the God of Mischief\u2019s first season of his Disney Plus showcase was fantastic. Suspenseful and weird, Tom Hiddleston\u2019s delightful Asgardian prince steals the Space Stone during the time heist as depicted in Avengers: Endgame and essentially learns there are variants of himself, and that the multiverse exists. The character development and growth are what did it for us, and we can\u2019t wait to see where the flawed-but-redeemed god goes in the follow-up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/strong><\/p>\n

The upcoming film focusing on Marvel superhero Shang-Chi has the potential to be huge. Featuring wuxia and a comic book correct version of the Mandarin, Shang-Chi looks to be a great mix of action and story, with our beloved Michelle Yeoh in yet another MCU role. We\u2019re interested to see how the Ten Rings plays into the larger MCU and their power and scope as compared to other artifacts we\u2019ve seen. Also, lead actor Simu Liu is hot, as is the esteemed legend Tony Leung.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sequel to our top-three Marvel movie contender is shaping up nicely. We were initially unsure how the film would move forward with the death of Chadwick Boseman, but it seems that it will be addressed in the opening scenes. Confirming that he will not be recast is a great start, because we wouldn\u2019t watch it if Marvel did. There will be a new Black Panther mantle-holder, and we expect this follow-up will be glorious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness<\/strong><\/p>\n

We like Dr. Strange around here, and he\u2019s important enough to warrant another few movies. With the end of WandaVision, Dr. Strange\u2019s sequel film will be important in the grand scheme of Marvel\u2019s machine for Phase Four. The events of the first MCU show and Loki made it plain that Dr. Strange will be needed to traverse the madness unleashed by the introduction of the multiverse and Kang the Conqueror, so this is film has quickly become important to the future of the MCU.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New squads introduced<\/strong><\/p>\n

It did not escape notice that there were several characters introduced recently that could potentially form other groups outside of the Avengers. WandaVision introduced Wiccan and Speed, Wanda\u2019s kids in Young Avengers; Monica Rambeau, who is a Captain Marvel titleholder; and, Agatha Harkness, who could join any number of villain groups. Captain America and the Winter Soldier introduced Eli Bradley, who is Patriot of the Young Avengers; Val, who is Madame Hydra at some point; and, U.S. Agent, a member of Dark Avengers and Thunderbolts. Loki gave us a hybrid Lady Loki\/Enchantress in Sylvie and Kid Loki, who is part of Young Avengers. Black Widow provided Yelena Belova, who becomes Black Widow II, and Shang-Chi\u2019s trailer confirmed Abomination is still around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
