Yet another Loki features in What… If?
Marvel Studios
Black Widow hits US theaters shortly, so naturally Marvel is pressing the acceleration pedal on hype for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe title. The first trailer for Disney Plus series What If…? arrived on Thursday, and it explores the idea that time and reality are changeable. Take in the decently heft trailer below.
The anthology series, featuring a cel-shaded animation style, conveniently arrives in August, helping to plug the gap between Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which arrives in September.
It’s almost as if Marvel planned Phase Four to perfection, with Chloe Zhao’s much anticipated Eternals slated for one month after Shang-Chi, arriving in November. The first Eternals teaser, tiny as it was, could be found rammed in between several other teasers for the MCU’s Phase Four release schedule.
Below you’ll find the MCU’s Phase Four release slate, including Disney Plus TV shows. Note Black Panther 2 and Captain Marvel 2 now have official titles. Only Fantastic Four’s release date remains elusive. (Does that mean it’s part of Phase Five?)
