The first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been released and it featured a tease of the next Black Panther, the introduction of Tenoch Huerta's Namor the Sub-Mariner, and so much more.

The trailer was released at the end of Marvel's panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 and it was a very emotional one as it's the first time we are seeing footage of a Black Panther MCU story without the late Chadwick Boseman.

We are given a look at many of the returning characters, including Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia, Danai Gurira's Okoye, Letitia Wright's Shuri, Angela Bassett's Ramonda, and Winston Duke's M'Baku. We are also treated to a glimpse of Ironheart star Dominique Thorne's debut as Riri Williams as she is creating an iron heart of her own.

It also confirmed that Tenoch Huerta will be playing Namor, a character first introduced in the comics in 1939. Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who is a mutant son of a human sea captain and a princess of Atlantis. He has been an Avenger, an X-Men, a founding member of the Defenders, and even fought alongside Captain America in World War II.

Namor is also considered Marvel's first mutant in the comics and has superhuman strength and endurance, the ability to breathe underwater, and has limited telepathic abilty with sea creatures and Atlanteans.

The smallest appearance by a new Black Panther suit was shown at the end of the trailer, but we still have yet to find out who will be taking on the role that was previously played so wonderfully by Boseman.

Marvel released a new plot synopsis for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and it is as follows;

"In Marvel Studios’ 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death," the official description reads. "As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli."

A new poster was also released that shows the new Black Panther suit, and you can check it out for yourself below.

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler took to the stage to begin the panel and shared a few words about the late Chadwick Boseman.

"It’s been five years since I was here," Coogler said. "Five years ago I sat right there and we premiered the first footage from Black Panther and the late great Chadwick Boseman was sitting with me. And the cast hadn’t seen the footage yet so when we played it he was excited and he grabbed my left shoulder with his hand and was just squeezing down on my shoulder and he got so excited and squeezed so hard and I couldn’t even lift my arm. Standing here right now, I can feel his hand on me right now.

"Chad is no longer with us physically but his spirit his passion his genius and his pride in his culture and the impact he made on this industry will be felt forever. We put that passion into this movie. It goes to places of Wakanda we haven’t seen before, but it also goes places new."

The sequel to Black Panther had been announced early after the first film's huge success, but was "reshaped" following the death of star Chadwick Boseman. The role of T'Challa will not be recast, and Boseman will not be recreated as a digital avatar. The story has, understandably, been hard to predict until now.

The movie will also be missing Daniel Kaluuya, who played W'Kabi in the first Black Panther, but will introduce the character of Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne) ahead of her solo MCU series, Ironheart. We'll finally see what Wakanda Forever has in store on November 11 – and there's a Wakanda Disney+ series to come after that.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be the final entry in Phase 4 of the MCU and will be part of the newly named Multiverse Saga that encompasses Phases 4, 5, and 6. You can fill yourself in on everything that's been announced at San Diego Comic Con so far, Marvel and otherwise, with our roundup.

Marvel has revealed some of its plans for Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Studios panel, we learned that Phase 6 will begin with Fantastic Four, and end with two new Avengers movies titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel also confirmed that the end of Phase 6 will complete the MCU's second saga, which is now officially called The Multiverse Saga.

We also learned that Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four is coming to theaters on November 8, 2024. The next Avengers movie will come shortly after, with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty coming to theaters on May 2, 2025. Avengers: Secret Wars will hit theaters just six months later, on November 7, 2025.

Phase 1-3 of the MCU is called the Infinity Saga, and we now know that Phase 4-6 is called The Multiverse Saga. Marvel also announced today that Phase 4 is coming to an end with She-Hulk and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, meaning that Phase 5 will encapsulate projects released between November 2022 and November 2024.

After some unsuccessful pre-MCU movie adaptations, Marvel confirmed it would return to the Fantastic Four storyline in 2020. The film was originally helmed by MCU Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts, who subsequently quit the project, saying he "needs a break from the superhero realm."

After years of fan-casting, John Krasinski made a cameo appearance as Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but Marvel had never committed to the Office actor taking on the role long-term.

A host of Marvel Cinematic Universe content is headed to Disney Plus and theaters in 2023 and 2024 as Phase 4 concludes and Phase 5 gets underway. That includes Marvel's Echo, Loki Season 2, Ironheart, and the newly-renamed Agatha: Coven of Chaos, all of which received narrowed release dates during San Diego Comic-Con.

Marvel Studios revealed that Loki Season 2 and Echo will be coming out in Summer 2023 while Ironheart will release in the fall. Agatha: Coven of Chaos — previously Agatha: House of Harkness — will be out that winter.

Loki Season 2 will continue the trickster's story after his very successful first season, while Agatha: Coven of Chaos will feature Kathryn Han in the role of Agatha Harkness following her debut in Wandavision. Marvel's Echo, meanwhile, will feature the Kingpin's adoptive daughter, while Ironheart will feature the eponymous character who will debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The release windows were part of a host of news that also saw the reveal of Daredevil: Born Again as well as the revelation that Phase 4 would be ending with Wakanda Forever. You can read our entire recap of the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con right here.

Today at San Diego Comic Con, we got treated to a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 trailer shown off in Hall H that shows some big changes taking place within the Guardians, including the debut of Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the (excellent) dog.

In the trailer, we see Gamora is running a section of the Ravagers. Peter Quill is shocked to see her, but Nebula isn’t. Unfortunately, Gamora doesn’t remember anything about the Guardians. Peter says that she was everything to him, and he thought she was gone, but she’s here and he misses her. Gamora tells him that person wasn’t her – it's the other Gamora, not the one that died. We see Groot as a big boy, and a baby Rocket Raccoon. The final question of the trailer asks where Rocket came from.

Marvel Studios revealed the first real look at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and it included Kang the Conqueror, MODOK, and Bill Murray.

The footage was shown to those in attendance at Marvel's SDCC panel, but it has yet to be released to the public. Despite that, we learned a lot more about the film that will kick off Phase 5 of the MCU.

The footage began with Scott Lang doing a book reading at a store for his new memoir 'Look Out for the Little Guy." He is ten interrupted by his daughter Cassie when she calls his phone and informs him she is in jail. The events lead them to the Quantum Realm and we catch a glimpse of Bill Murray, the face of MODOK, and the first look at Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror since his variant appeared in Loki.

The third Ant-Man movie will be released on February 17, 2023 after swapping release dates with The Marvels. Aside from returning starts Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, we knew that Jonathon Majors will appear as Kang the Conqueror (after being introduced in the Loki series), while Bill Murray all but confirmed he'll appear last year.
