Marvel’s Comic-Con Panel Excites Fans for ‘Doomsday’ but Leaves Them Cautiously Optimistic About What’s Beyond

Key points
- But as the 40-minute panel wrapped up with just two surprise announcements — a Ghost Rider movie starring Ryan Gosling and “Black Panther 3” — it’s hard not to feel like, “Is that it?” After a 30-minute delay, the panel got underway with Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige acknowledging writer and producer Stephen Wacker’s new role as Marvel Comics editor-in-chief.
- He then rolled out a trailer for the “Avengers: Endgame” re-release, dubbed “Endgame Encore,” which will have an exclusive sneak peek at “Doomsday.” But fans were hungry for new announcements, not a re-edited trailer for a movie they’ve likely seen multiple times (and no doubt will see again).
- While it’s been highly speculated that Deadpool may cameo in both “Doomsday” and 2027’s “Secret Wars,” Feige skipped the opportunity to confirm Reynolds’ return to the MCU.
- So far, “Ghost Rider” and “Black Panther 3,” both slated for 2028, are the only movies in Marvel’s next phase after “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” Fans have long expected — and Feige has stated that — the X-Men to help steer the MCU’s future, but there wasn’t a single X-announcement on stage Saturday.
