Coming off an exciting San Diego Comic-Con in which Marvel Studios dominated the headlines with
their Phase 4 plans, Disney has announced its superhero plans for D23 Expo 2019 next month.
Continuing the momentum, Marvel Studios will be hosting panels featuring the talented filmmakers and artists of the MCU. And highlighting the weekend is The Walt Disney Studios Hall D23 Presentation on Saturday, August 24. The panel promises a behind-the-scenes look at not just Walt Disney Studios films, but also a sneak peek at "exciting projects" from Marvel Studios. Disney promises
"exclusive footage, special guest appearances, and more!"
Marvel announced a number of different MCU projects that'll release both in theaters and through the Disney+ streaming service, including
The Eternals,
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,
WandaVision,
Hawkeye,
Thor: Love and Thunder, and more. It's unclear just how much will be shown from the MCU's upcoming Phase 4, but it's something to look forward to nonetheless.
In addition to the panel, the "Marvel Studios" Pavilion the show floor will allow guests to
"step inside the action of the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame at a D23 Expo-exclusive video experience, and tour the costume gallery to see costumes worn by characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
