“Looking beyond 2022, next year, for instance, we have three movies from Marvel Studios… Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Marvels, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” Tony Chambers, Disney’s executive vice president of theatrical distribution, said. “The Disney live-action team has Haunted Mansion and The Little Mermaid in the works. And next year, thanks to the folks at Lucasfilm, the one and only Indiana Jones will return. We can’t wait to share more of these and all of our upcoming titles with you in the months ahead.”
Footage from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was screened for those in attendance at CinemaCon. For those adverse to spoilers, we’ll keep the details light, but it did involve multiple variants of our heroes like Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch. People in attendance saw that Multiverse of Madness hits the ground running. However, the larger scope of the story is yet to be revealed. Director Sam Raimi talked to AMC Theatres about the upcoming movie, where Raimi said that he couldn’t have dreamed of a day where Doctor Strange could have been headlining a massive picture like this.
“He was like a second or third tier character for Marvel. Obviously, their big popular names were Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, The Avengers, Captain America, Thor,” Raimi listed. “And because none of those other movies were being made, I actually never imagined they would make a Doctor Strange movie. Just seemed far from possible.”
The official title for James Cameron’s Avatar 2 was also revealed by Disney. Avatar: The Way of Water takes place a decade after the events of the original Avatar and follows the Sully Family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids).
