The biggest news of the night was Robert Downey Jr.'s surprising return to the MCU as the iconic villain Doctor Doom, set to appear in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars," directed by the Russo Brothers.
The studio also unveiled details and footage from other highly anticipated projects. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," directed by Matt Shakman, is set to begin filming soon and promises a retro-futuristic take on the superhero team's origin story. The cast, including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, made a surprise appearance to discuss their roles and the family dynamic of the team.
The first footage from "Thunderbolts" was revealed, showcasing an all-star cast of villains and anti-heroes led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova and directed by Jake Schreier.
Additionally, "Captain America: Brave New World" brought a political thriller tone with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson facing challenges as the new Captain America. Giancarlo Esposito was confirmed to play the villainous King of the Serpent Society, and Harrison Ford made a memorable appearance as President Thunderbolt Ross, teasing his transformation into the Red Hulk.
With these major announcements and more, Marvel Studios has undoubtedly set the stage for an exciting future in the MCU. Fans can look forward to further updates at next month's D23 Expo, where the studio is expected to focus on its upcoming television projects.
