In Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly will once again share top billing as Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne/Wasp, respectively. They were both last seen by fans during Avengers: Endgame. The film will also feature the return of Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer as they reprise their roles as Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne. It’s still unclear if Michael Peña’s fan-favorite Luis and David Dastmalchian’s Kurt would also be back for the sequel as well.

The third installment will also introduce MCU newcomer Kathryn Newton (The SocietyFreaky) as she now takes over the role of Cassie Lang, a character previously portrayed by Abby Ryder Fortson in the first Ant-Man films and Emma Fuhrmann in EndgameLovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors have also been cast as Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror, while Ghostbusters star Bill Murray is also expected to appear for an undisclosed role.

Marvel's calendar of movie and TV show release dates won't keep still. A ton of titles have been pushed back, delaying the beginning of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in theaters from Nov. 11 and already drawing strong reviews. It's the last big screen movie in Phase 4 of the MCU, which ends with the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney Plus this festive season. Phase 5 begins with Ant-Man: Quantumania in January.

But elsewhere, after parting ways with director Bassam Tariq, Marvel temporarily shut down production on Blade, starring Mahershala Ali. Disney has now shifted the reboot's release date from Nov. 3, 2023, to Sept 6, 2024.

Deadpool 3, which previously held that September 2024 release spot, has also been pushed back, along with Fantastic Four, Avengers: Secret Wars and two other untitled movies. Phase 6 was set to open with Fantastic Four and Secret Wars at the end of 2024 but will now arrive in 2025.

Here are the updates to Marvel's schedule:

  • Blade, previously dated on Nov. 3, 2023, moves to Sept. 6, 2024.
  • Untitled Deadpool sequel, previously dated on Sept. 6, 2024, moves to Nov. 8, 2024.
  • Fantastic Four, previously dated on Nov. 8, 2024, moves to Feb. 14, 2025.
  • Untitled Marvel film, previously dated on Feb. 14, 2025, moves to Nov. 7, 2025.
  • Avengers: Secret Wars, previously dated on Nov. 7, 2025, moves to May 1, 2026.
  • Untitled Marvel film, dated on May 1, 2026, was removed from the schedule.
