It shouldn’t be a surprise that Captain America 4 is in the works and will pick up from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That shows showrunner Malcolm Spellman will developing the film. Spellman co-wrote the script with Dalan Musson, a staff writer on the show.

SPOILERS

Sam Wilson has now taken on the mantle of Captain America with a new outfit and wielding the shield. John Walker has now taken on the mantle of USAgent, and Sharon Carter has been revealed as the Powerbroker. Bucky is just kind of hanging out with Sam.

The finale hinted at possible plots to shows like Armor Wars as Sharon Carter’s new position will allow her to not just deal in super-soldier serum but also secrets and other high-tech.

END SPOILERS

No director has been announced. And the reaction to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has been rather mixed. While liked, it has 86% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and 74% from the audience. That puts it at a similar reaction to Ant-Man and The Wasp.

The film joins a very packed upcoming movie and television universe that includes at least 11 films in the works or out soon and at least 12 television series.

Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk Announced for Disney+ at D23

Posted on August 23, 2019 by Brett

We knew there’d be some announcements at D23 and Marvel brought the goods with three new series for the streaming service. Marvel Studios has announced television shows based on Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk. All three are known to have been in the works or have been mentioned by Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige.

What is new is interesting is that some of these shows were assumed to be movies, Ms. Marvel especially. Moon Knight and She-Hulk were both rumored to be in the running for shows on Netflix before that deal went south.

British writer Bisha K. Ali has been tapped for Ms. Marvel to write and act as showrunner. It is assumed the series will star Kamala Khan, an Inhuman who took on the mantle from her idol Carol Danvers (though in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Danvers has never gone by Ms. Marvel.

She-Fulk first appeared in Savage She-Hulk #1 and was created by Stan Lee and John Buscema. Jennifer Walters is the cousin of Bruce Banner and in the comics gained her powers due to a blood transfusion. She’s also a lawyer balancing her life as a lawyer and superhero.

Moon Knight was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin and debuts in Werewolf by Night #32 in 1975. Marc Spector is a former Marine turned mercenary and near death is offered a chance at life if he becomes the god Khonshu’s avatar on Earth. What’s notable is Spector is Jewish, the son of a rabbi.

Kamala Khan is the newest of the three characters debuting in Captain Marvel #14 in 2013. Created by Sana Amanat, G. Willow Wilson, and Adrian Alphona, the character is a New Jersey Muslim teenager who’s also Inhuman and gains her powers after Terrigen Mist is unleashed around the world.

These shows are all under the Marvel Studios banner showing the expansion of the power and reach of that arm of Marvel and its head Kevin Feige.

These shows are in addition to the already announced The Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye which will all debut beginning in late 2020 and throughout 2021.

In other Marvel Studios news, Kit Harrington is rumored to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Wyatt Russell will join The Falcon and Winter Solider as John F. Walker, aka U.S. Agent.
