A few weeks after a Doom-filled San Diego Comic-Con, it's time for another big night of Marvel Studios news as Kevin Feige is set to take the stage at the D23 Expo for the Disney Entertainment Showcase, which will spotlight a number of major upcoming releases from Walt Disney Studios, including a number of major MCU titles.
With their SDCC panel keeping the focus on next year's theatrical releases - Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps - and only one major casting reveal with Robert Downey Jr. being announced as Doctor Doom, the Marvel portion of tonight's Disney showcase is expected to primarily focus on the studio's upcoming Disney+ lineup, namely Agatha All Along, Ironheart, and Daredevil: Born Again, although we wouldn't rule out new looks at the films as well.
However, many are also hopeful that Feige and company will choose this year's Expo to share some news about their Phase Six slate, possibly revealing what films will come between 2026's Avengers: Doomsday and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.
Disney's been having a helluva year already with back-to-back billion-dollar blockbusters in Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine, and it seems likely that their good fortune will continue through next year with an enticing slate that includes Moana 2, Mufasa: The Lion King, Snow White, Elio, Tron: Ares, Zootopia 2, Avatar 3, The Mandalorian & Grogu, and Toy Story 5. Expect most, if not all, of these titles to also set some play tonight.
Unlike SDCC, the D23 Expo is generally a more exclusive event for D23 members, so we wouldn't expect any trailers to make their way online tonight, but if anything's released, it'll be up on CBM as soon as possible.
The two-hour Disney Entertainment Showcase presentation begins at 7:00 PM PST (10:00 PM EST)!

On another note, in case you missed our review for Deadpool & Wolverine, we said, "Deadpool & Wolverine is the ultimate Marvel movie, a non-stop blockbuster entertainer with a heart of red and gold. Ryan Reynolds is truly Marvel Jesus, breathing new life into the MCU and resurrecting the X-Man himself Hugh Jackman for one of the most wildly enjoyable comic book movies ever, with both delivering all-time performances that will go down in the CBM history books. Don’t head to the theater expecting answers about the future of the X-Men in the MCU or any of the larger ramifications on the Sacred Timeline, just walk in expecting a good time with Deadpool and Wolverine - maybe grab a popcorn bucket - and, trust me, you’ll walk out extremely happy."
Shawn Levy directs “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.
