Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 5 release schedule undergoes major changes after the SAG-AFTRA strike, with Deadpool 3 and Thunderbolts getting new release dates. Captain America: Brave New World is delayed, shifting from July 2024 to February 2025, affecting the release dates of other films in the phase.

What is Phase 7 Marvel?
Summary. Phase 7 of the MCU may not be part of a specific saga, signaling a new era where the franchise doesn't commit to a single narrative arc. Phase 7 could possibly set up an Avengers Versus X-Men story, exploring the potential conflict between the existing Avengers and the newly introduced mutants.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that Iron Man 4 is indeed in the works. While negotiations continue for his return, this would mark his 7th appearance in a standalone Marvel movie and his 9th outing as Tony Stark in total.
Reports are trickling out that Marvel is pivoting away from the Kang storyline rather than recast, which may be surprising, but the answer could have been found.
Phase Five features all of the Marvel Studios productions set to be released starting from 2023 to early 2025, with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributing the films, while the series release on Disney+.
“Deadpool 3” has stopped filming as the SAG-AFTRA strike gets underway, with performers joining Writers Guild of America members on the picket lines. The Marvel sequel is one of the first major productions to be impacted by the new strike.
Jackman said on the Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM that Wolverine will appear in Deadpool 3 through a different timeline, one in which he is still alive. "It's all because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines," Jackman said.
Actress Emma Corrin has been cast as the lead villain in Deadpool 3, but her specific character remains unknown. Speculations include her playing the embodiment of Death, a female Deadpool, or Cassandra Nova, a powerful telepathic mutant. The film may feature other villains as well to surprise audiences.
Tom Hiddleston, who has played Loki since 2011's Thor, explained his character's final moments in an interview with Jimmy Fallon. “It all comes full circle,” he said. “It's the conclusion to Seasons One and Two, and it's also the conclusion to six films and 12 episodes and 14 years of my life.
The lead writer of 'Loki' says there aren't any active plans for season 3. Speaking to CinemaBlend, "Loki" lead writer Eric Martin said that there aren't any plans for "Loki" season three at the moment. Martin also noted that he and the show's other writers scripted "Loki" with just two seasons in mind.
Marvel Shakes Up Phase 5 Calendar: Deadpool 3, Captain America 4 & Two Others Delayed. In light of the SAG-AFTRA strike officially concluding, several movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 5 line-up are getting new release dates.
Phase 5 kicked off with a movie double-bill in February and May 2023 with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, respectively.
Going forward, Marvel will reinvent the mutants and X-Men within the studio's shared superhero world. But the X-Men aren't expected to appear until after the Fantastic Four are introduced in their own solo outing in 2025 and the Multiverse Saga concludes in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Phase 5 of the MCU will introduce new and returning villains, including Kang variants, Dar-Benn, Thunderbolt Ross/Red Hulk, Agatha Harkness, Kingpin, The Leader, and HYDRA Stomper.
Jonathan Majors plays Kang, a time-traveling villain with many variants across the multiverse. A version of Kang first appeared in the season one finale of Loki, with another serving as the antagonist of Quantumania.

Summary. Rhodey, aka War Machine, is confirmed as the ideal replacement for Iron Man in the upcoming Armor Wars, as his characterization now mirrors Stark's.
