Marvel Could Have More Surprises Up Its Sleeve During Comic-Con
Apart from the possible teasers and cast appearances, Marvel could also have other surprises prepared for the fans. It might not have any major news aboutAvengers: Doomsdayyet, but it could take this chance to share that it’s working on new movies, shows, and/or games based on popular and evenobscure Marvel IPs. The possibility is not that farfetched considering that Marvel is building up Phase 5 and potentially Phase 6 until next year at least.
Although Marvel Studios is reportedly slowing down its rollout of new content, the anticipation of upcoming projects is undeniable, especially since factions like The Fantastic Four and theX-Men will officially be part of the MCUsoon. This could eventually trickle down to other content, such as video games, where characters could either have their own standalone titles or become part of a party-based title similar toMarvel’s AvengersandMidnight Suns.
