What are the three upcoming Mystery Marvel Movies?

Marvel have announced three as yet unnamed films to join the MCU in 2020 - but what are they?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3
Almost guaranteed to fill one of the slots after the huge success of the first film and with Vol 2 on it's way.

Spider-Man 2
Again, very likely. Spider-Man films make money and Marvel will be keen to bring a flagship character further into the MCU. However I wouldn't be suprised if this takes the form of a Sinister Six film - especially if Suicide Squad does well for DC.

Dr Strange 2
Every solo film except Hulk has got a sequel so far so presumably this will be no exception.

Infinity War Part 3
aka Avengers 5! Probably not but would be amazing if this was the third mystery film and they managed to keep it secret until we see a shock cliffhanger in Infinity War Part 2.

Black Panther 2
It might be too early for this after having BP in Civil War, his solo film and presumably at least one Infinity War film.

Vison & Scarlet Witch
Neither could support a solo film but a Team Up in the style of 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' looking at their unique relationship could be interesting. Of course they may not both survive Infinity War...

West Coast Avengers
Probably not quite enough characters to support two Avengers teams just yet.

The Defenders
After years of building on Netflix and perhaps a role in Infinity War could the team get a movie outing? Or maybe a Heroes for Hire film is on the cards. Depends what deal Marvel has with Netflix - they may want to keep them on the small screen. Also the darker tone could be hard to translate to a movie.

Fantastic Four
Could Fox come to a Spider-Man/Sony style deal?

Hulk
Legal rights with Paramount make this unlikely but a version of Planet Hulk could be set up in Infinity War, and perhaps World War Hulk would be a good Avengers film. Failing that the Leader, Abomination and Ross are still around...

New Captain America
If Steve is dead or retired by this time then Bucky could be ready to pick up the shield. Like Winter Soldier and Civil War this could also bring in lots of other characters, and maybe the return of Red Skull.

Iron Man 4
It's assumed that Marvel will stop at trilogies for it's solo characters (and I hope that is the case) but we know the real Mandarin is still out there.
 
Black Widow
I think the ship has sailed on this but the fans still seem to want it - Widow and Hawkeye on a black ops mission perhaps?

Inhumans/GotG/Captain Marvel spin-off
With lots of cosmic characters and concepts being introduced maybe the groundwork can be laid for a spin-off film - Nova, Adam Warlock etc?

Moon Knight
There was a vague mention in the Winter Soldier after all...

Runaways
They've had a script knocking around for years now...

Blade
They have the rights back although it might be tricky to work vampires into the MCU.

Namor
I guess it's possible, maybe if Aquaman does well.

Cloak & Dagger
I see this more as a Netflix show but who knows?

@Doopie I see Moon Knight as more of a Netflix thing but I'd love to see Defenders on the big screen - maybe Hulk and/or Dr Strange can join them like in the comics.


@GliderMan How would you work vampires into the MCU?

My son watches Avengers Assemble, and he came to me all excited the other day, and wanted me to see something. It was a globe that they were looking at that had locations of heroes that were popping up that they were aware of. There were four of them: Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Moon Knight. As he pointed out, three of them already have movies announced. Maybe the white knight isn't too far off.

Also, he interestingly had a darker suit (greyish) with a white hood/cape, and a darker mask. It kind of screamed a more real-world application that could work on the large or small screen.

I'm actually hoping the one in Nov. is a Thor film. I honestly believe that he is the only character that should'nt be limited to 3 films. Especialy when we haven't got the most out of those films. SO 2 sequels and 1 new property. I'm hoping for Nova, or we may even get a solo Winter Soldier film.

Moon Knight is too violent. He needs a Netflix show directly after Punisher.

More than likely sequels to Spidey, T'Challa, and Strange.

Excluding possible sequels, I hope we get Sinister Six, Iron Fist (maybe they want to introduce him on the big screen), Namor.

Runaways, Secret War, and...

Howard The Duck: Dawn of The Howard of The Duck.

Rumours that one of these will in fact be Fantastic Four

Feige once said that he wants to make a Runaways film, so that'd be my bet for one of the films...

@muttonman That would be cool and different. Also by this point there will be enough powered people in the MCU to make the plot from the comic work.
