Are you ready for Black Panther 2 and the other superhero movies coming soon? Marvel Studios has previewed its production schedule through the next couple years, with many of the big-name projects expected to be filmed in Atlanta.

Disney and its streaming service Disney+ figures to play a key role in many of the productions, which have already been spotted filming around Atlanta.

Disney’s plans also involve Fox and Pixar, but a whole lot of Marvel. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, pushing back mostly everything.

To understand how production schedules coincide with Atlanta, we first have to gather a keen knowledge of Marvel’s “Phase 4.”

What Is Marvel’s Phase 4?

Marvel’s Phase 4 refers to all of the Marvel Studios productions that will be released in the three-year period beginning with 2021 and ending in 2023.

Here’s a video Marvel Studios released on May 3 that previews what’s coming down the pike over the next couple years.

Phase 4 began on the small screen with the release of WandaVision and will start on the big screen with Black Widow in summer 2021.

Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 comes on the heels of the most successful run in the company’s history: Phase 3. That phase saw such tentpole titles of Endgame, Thor: Ragnorok, Captain American: Civil War and Black Panther.

Here’s What To Know About Marvel Production Dates In Atlanta

The success of WandaVision has shown Disney that it can score with a tentpole title in the streaming space, but the cinematic experience continues to be the ideal way to show a movie.

The beloved Marvel franchise was perhaps hardest hit because many of the movies are dependent on others. We’ll have to see how it pans out.

Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and She-Hulk all have been mentioned as future Marvel projects, but nothing has been confirmed.

Disney as well as Marvel is making a concerted effort to include more representations of people of color. And it will only get better through the years.

Right on the heels of WandaVision, the MCU jumps right back into the action with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which follows the events in Endgame.

The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.

If you remember, 2020 was supposed to kick off with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” But it, like most titles, was delayed. when it does debut, it will be Marvel’s first Asian-American led superhero film.

With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
