Status of Every Upcoming Marvel Studios Project
by TrekFan1 | created - 11 May 2021 | updated - 18 hours ago | PublicHere you'll find the current status of each upcoming Marvel Studios project that has been officially announced by Marvel or reported by a reputable trade.
Unlike the status info provided by IMDb, these are all correct, confirmed and up-to-date and I will endeavor to keep them that way.
Entries are separated by production status and listed in the following reverse order of production:
1.) released (or currently releasing)
2.) completed and awaiting release
3.) post-production (main filming completed; scoring, effects and editing underway, with results or additional shooting possible)
4.) filming or in production (principal photography, or the actual recording of the project)
------ unofficially filming (production start confirmed by reliable news sources but not formally announced by Marvel)
5.) pre-production (designing, casting, set building, and other pre-filming prep)
6.) in development (planning, scripting and budgeting)
7.) officially, publicly announced by Marvel Studios
8.) officially scheduled films whose titles have yet to be revealed
9.) reported by a reputable trade but not announced by Marvel
Projects with known or projected release dates are listed in release date order within their respective status categories; otherwise they are listed alphabetically.
Each listing also includes info on directors, writers, principal cast and release dates. Films and specials listed will be removed three days after release; TV shows will be removed three days after the season or series finale is released. Projects that are merely rumored or speculated to be in the works are not included.
In addition to the projects below, there is also a reported (but not officially confirmed) Steve Rogers/Nomad project starring Chris Evans. It is unclear if the former project is being developed as a series or film, nor have any writers, directors, additional cast, or dates been revealed. There is also a confirmed to be a comedic MCU series in development from Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton (which may actually be the Wonder Man series that recently wrapped filming).

UPDATES
May 3, 2024: Paul Walter Hauser has joined the cast of The Fantastic Four in an undisclosed role. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Esposito has also been cast in a Marvel Studios project, though which project it is and what character he is playing have not been revealed.
May 2, 2024: I somehow missed the news last month that principal photography has wrapped on Part 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, comprising the first nine episodes of an 18-episode season. The remaining nine episodes constituting Part 2 are expected to begin filming sometime in November.
April 12, 2024: Ayelet Zurer is reprising her Daredevil role as Vanessa Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again, reclaiming the role from Sandrine Holt, who had been given the part prior to the show's creative overhaul.
April 3, 2024: Ozark star Julia Garner has joined the cast of The Fantastic Four as Shalla-Bal, a female variant of the Silver Surfer.
March 20, 2024: The first two episodes of X-Men '97 have arrived on Disney+, picking up where the '90s X-Men animated series left off.
Meanwhile, Marvel Studios exec Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that Ironheart and Wonder Man are both still on the way amidst rumors that the projects may have been canceled. I believe this is also the first time anyone at Marvel has officially mentioned the existence of Wonder Man series, which Winderbaum is currently being edited, suggesting that filming on the series has wrapped.
March 12, 2024: Marvel Studios has parted ways with X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo one day before the revival's world premiere (which DeMayo had been scheduled to attend) and a week ahead of its official debut on Disney+. DeMayo had been working on the show's forthcoming second season and was in discussions with Marvel on plans for a third; no explanation for the firing was made public.
March 11, 2024: Filming on Thunderbolts is officially underway.
February 15, 2024: X-Men '97, Marvel's highly anticipated continuation of the 1990s X-Men animated series, is officially set to debut March 20 on Disney+.
February 14, 2024: Marvel has officially announced the four main stars of The Fantastic Four, confirming that the previously reported Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn are set to play Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, respectively. The film has also swapped release dates with Thunderbolts, moving to July 25, 2025, while the latter film moves up to May 2, 2025.
February 11, 2024: The first trailer and teaser poster for Deadpool 3 have been released and confirmed that the film's official title is Deadpool & Wolverine. An official cast list has also been released, naming Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen as the film's principal actors.
