Every MCU Movie And TV Show Coming Out In 2022

Marvel Studios and its big machine may have had things slightly waylaid by 2020, but the past year has proven more productive than ever--and 2022 is shaping up to be no different. Gone are the days when the calendar would be occupied by two or, at most, three major MCU releases. Now we've got a fully packed slate with nine different projects on the calendar.

Yes, some of them are still tentative and could potentially be pushed, but the vast majority of them aren't. Even at the absolute bare minimum and barring any major release date catastrophes, we can expect three different movies and at least three different Disney+ shows before this year is over--probably more.

That said, it can understandably get a little overwhelming and a little hard to keep track of, especially if you're paying attention to literally anything else in entertainment on top of all this. So, we've taken it upon ourselves to make things a bit easier with a simple breakdown of all of Marvel Studios' 2022 releases, when they're coming, and what they are.

What upcoming MCU projects are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments.

Moon Knight

Disney+, March 30

The first official MCU entry for the new year is Moon Knight, which will premiere on Disney+ in March and already has a full-length trailer to tease your expectations. Basically, Marc Spector is in for a rough time, which is pretty standard fare for him. Moon Knight is typically likened to Batman as a character with no real superpowers, plenty of gadgets, and a dubious personality--though he tends to take things a bit further with an actual diagnosed case of multiple personalities and different identities he flips between as he fights crime. Also, he may or may not be literally in contact with a supernatural deity, just to make things even more tricky to understand.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Theaters, May 6

The first theatrical release of 2022 is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is theoretically going to premiere in May. That is, assuming it doesn't get delayed or shuffled with the ongoing COVID pandemic. Right now, it's impossible to tell whether or not this (or any of the non-streaming) releases are going to hold, but we can continue to hope. A trailer was released for this one as the second post-credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it was teased heavily by the end of WandaVision as well.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Theaters, July 8

The second theatrical release of the year will belong to Thor: Love and Thunder, scheduled to debut in theaters this July. No trailer has been released for this one yet, though we do know that it's going to feature Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher and will doubtlessly be all sorts of ridiculous thanks to Taika Waititi's hallmark style.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Theaters, November 11

Details for the second Black Panther film are being kept under wraps and, while we know Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa will not be recast, we don't know who or what this movie will focus on in his place. Other characters like M'Baku, Shuri, W'Kabi, Okoye, and Nakia will be returning alongside Ryan Coogler who is returning to direct. Additionally, Dominique Thorne will be debuting as Riri Williams, AKA Ironheart, who will go on to star in her own Disney+ series.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

Disney+, December

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which we know next to nothing about, is aiming for a December release. James Gunn is helming this particular project and we can assume it's going to be the exact kind of ridiculous you've come to expect from him, though details beyond that are still very scarce.

Ms. Marvel

Disney+, TBA

Following Moon Knight, we can expect Ms. Marvel to drop on Disney+, though no premiere date has been set. We do, however, have a handful of promotional clips and images featuring Iman Vellani's debut as Kamala Khan, a young girl who gains superpowers and just so happens to be a massive fan of Carol Danvers.

She-Hulk

Disney+, TBA

Another D+ TV show that has been promoted with clips and images is She-Hulk, which will likely come after Ms. Marvel (or vice versa, given the lack of official release dates post-Moon Knight.) It will focus on Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner who suffers from a similar green problem--except she's not a scientist, she's a lawyer. We can expect her case work to take her all over the proverbial map within the MCU and probably provide a road for no shortage of cameos.

What If…? Season 2

Disney+, TBA

Disney's animated MCU show, What If…? Will be returning for a second season, and, thus far, it seems to be on the docket for a 2022 release. This could certainly change, however. There has been no promotional material released and no official date set, meaning if production is pushed for pandemic related reasons or otherwise, we could be waiting a bit longer for this one.

Secret Invasion

Disney+, TBA

Another show that remains relatively up in the air is Secret Invasion, the Skrull-focused story featuring Nick Fury and Maria Hill that will, presumably, deal with that Spider-Man: Far From Home stinger that has yet to be expanded upon. You know, the one with Fury being up in space with the Skrulls and Talos impersonating Fury? What was up with that? As of right now, Secret Invasion is loosely slated for a 2022 release but it wouldn't be surprising to see this one pushed into 2023, given how crowded the slate of D+ releases already is and the lack of promotional material. But, still, it's better to keep an eye out.
