In addition, sequel series to both “WandaVision” and “Hawkeye” were announced for 2023. Season 2 of the series “Loki” is scheduled to be on Disney+ in the summer of 2023. The return of the Netflix series ”Daredevil: Born Again,” with Charlie Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock, who was last seen in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” will be available on Disney+ in spring 2024.
Actor Mahershala Ali will be making his MCU debut in “Blade,” coming in 2023. Anthony Mackie’s Captain America returns in “Captain America: New World Order,” releasing in 2024.

In 2008, Marvel released the movie “Iron Man,” starring Robert Downey Jr. This movie began the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Years later, this universe continued with “Avengers,” ”Captain America: Civil War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.”
